We Are One (Walking Dead Fanfic)

Aim #6

Brighton

.............

'Aim it, fire it, blow it up' I repeated in my head as Carol gave me the gun. She left into the forest, she is going to get into terminus.

I bent over and placed the firework into the gun, the wind started to pick up, I shivered but I continued. That is what you have to do to survive. If it rains, you keep walking, if it is hot, you keep walking, if it's a storm, you just have to deal with it.

I placed the heavy gun between the wires of the fence, I steadied my hands and aimed at the tank. I closed my left eyes and looked through the scope with my right. The horde was beginning to get closer to the sanctuary, so I shuck my head. Then I pulled the trigger. The firework released into the air, firing straight into the tank which exploded causing me to fall on my back.

The pressure was so strong it spread like a wave through the air, it hit the trees and I heard some of the leaves ripping away from the branches. I pushed myself up and looked into the black ash sky. The fire raised causing some of the walkers to catch on fire, I looked at their flesh burn. It made me feel sick.

..........

I waited until I saw Carol in the horde, she was walking slow. I aimed my gun down, shooting some walkers around her to give her a clear path. People in terminus where trying to shoot the walkers as well but they fell back and ran into the buildings.

I started waking back into he forest, leaving terminus and trying to find a small cabin. She told me a man named Tyreese would be there and a baby named Judith. I asked who's baby it was but she just smiled and left.

My feet hurt as I walked causing a burning sensation through my calf's and my thighs. I felt a blister form on my toe, which rubbed against my sock which made it hurt more. My hands where dry and smelled my leaves and bark from the forest trees that grew I to the sky which barley no clouds.

Back behind me, I heard gunshots, many of them. I'm starting to get really scared. Carl is in there, he is in there and I'm hearing gunshots, I exploded the gates so walkers could get in.

Oh shit, oh shit.

I stopped in my tracks, my arms where by my side, my bow in my hands. A warm salty tear ran down my cheek "no I killed them, I killed them!" I yelled looking back, the black smoke spread up into the sky. "No I didn't" I told myself, making myself continue in the direction I was going "find Tyreese, find the baby, wait in the cabin"
