Living With The Dead

Finding Beth

It's been a few days. B..Bob died. Gareth and his crew ate one of his legs, but he was bitten. Michonne found her katana after Rick and the others slaughtered Gareth's crew. I looped for mine, but it was no where. Right now, Abraham is getting ready to go to D.C. and Tara, Rosita, and Eugene are going. Rick said that we all couldn't go because Daryl and Carol are missing. "I'll go too." Maggie says which almost makes me cry. "No." I say softly. "I can't lose you too!" I say loud through tears. "Then come." She says. I look at Rick for approval and he nods. I run into Michonne's arms and she held me for a while. "I'll miss you." I say, crying. Then, I hug Jada. "Will you be back?" She asked. "I don't know." I say. I let go of her and hug everyone else. I get on the bus with Glenn, Eugene, Abraham, Rosita, Tara, and Maggie. We drove for a while and I just listened to everyone talk. Maggie looked at me concerned. "You okay?" She asks. I was just about to answer when the bus started swerving and flipping, then it landed on its side. My right cheek started to hurt, so I lifted up to touch it. It was bleeding bad. "Eugene!" Abraham and Rosita called. "Brooke!" Maggie called. "I'm here." I said back. We all git up and made our way to the back of the bus where we killed some walkers. "Is he hurt?" Abraham asked Rosita about Eugene. "I'm fine." Eugene responds. "Check him. Check him!" Abraham yells. I stare at him. I slowly make my way closer to Maggie and Glenn. "We can find another vehicle." Glenn said. "Or bikes. Bikes don't blow up." Tara adds. Abraham nods and starts walking. We look at each other and start following him. We found a building where we rested for the night. I slept on the couch. When we woke up, Rosita and Abraham were arguing about leaving or not. "We should probably go." I say agreeing with Abraham. He points out a fire truck across the street and it had a lot of water on the top. We walk outside and Abraham gets into it and tries to start it. He drives forward a bit, then it stops. We see a tire roll by so we look where it came from. Walkers were coming out through a door. "Brooke!" Maggie yells. I realize that I don't have any weapon, so I follow Eugene to the top of the fire truck where he shoots water at the walkers which stops them. Abraham looks up and says he's never seen anything like that before. Then, he crawls up to the top and starts laughing hysterically. Is this dude crazy? He finally gets the truck working again and we get on the road, but not for long because the truck stops again. I smell something bad, so I try to hold my breath when I realize ahead of us are like a million walkers. "We don't stop." Abraham said. Everyone started arguing, then Eugene kept yelling something. "I'm nit a scientist." He said when it was quiet. "You are a scientist. I've seen the things you." Rosita says. "I just know things." He says back. "You just know things." Glenn repeated annoyed. "I left everyone behind and came here for nothing!" I screamed. Just then, Abraham started to beat Eugene. I took this chance to run into the woods and hide. I heard Maggie and Glenn call out for me, but I continued to run. I stopped to take a break and I started to cry. I left Michonne. I left Jada. Carl. Rick. Carol. Daryl. I left the rest of the group and may not ever see them again. I slept there, by the tree for the night. When morning came, I felt something brush across my legs, then a walker fell on my. "Help!" I screamed. Maggie must've heard me because she soon ran toward me and stabbed the walker in its head. She picked me up and hugged me, but I pushed her off. She's the one who told me to come. I walked back to the fire truck and every one was getting in. I got in and sat by Rosita. I noticed that Abraham was driving back to the church. As we arrived, there were walkers trying to get out of the church. Michonne, Judith, Carl, and Jada were outside. Carl had Judith on his back and Michonne was holding Jada. I got out and ran into her arms. She held me tight. "Never leave again." She says. I nod. "Look what I found near the school." Michonne says handing me my katana. "OMG!" I say taking it and putting it over my shoulder. Michonne put Jada down and I hugged her. Michonne looked at me then at Maggie. "Beth's alive. She with some survivors in a hospital uptown." She said. It was silent for a few minutes. "Which one?" Maggie asks. "Brady Memorial." Michonne answers. We all get into the truck and Abraham drives up to the hospital. Michonne tells us everything on the way. When we arrive, we rush out of the car to see everyone already walking out. I can tell by the look on their faces that something bad happened. Then, Daryl walked out. He was holding Beth. My sister. Who was shot in the head. Lifeless. "No!" Maggie and I both screamed. Maggie fell onto her knees. I walked over to her, even though my vision was blurring from tears. I hugged her. Then, I started to scream and cry. I've never been like this before, but I've lost three sisters. Three. Everyone surrounded my as I cried with hurt emotions. Everything after that was blank...
