Beth and Sam are laughing, at nothing. They have found pure joy in just staring at the now rising moon, together. Sam watched as the moonlight shined down on Beth, making her eyes sparkle. The way her entire face lights up as she laughs.

Beth turns to face Sam, catching her staring.

"What?" Beth asks.

"Nothing." Sam says averting her eyes to the moon.

Beth sighs and cuddles closer to Sam, and Sam strokes Beth's arm subconciously.

Sam zones out and her mind goes somewhere else...Back to her past.

"Come on Sam, keep up." Riley laughs running down to the water.

Sam runs as fast as she can, the hot sand burning her feet. She reaches Riley, nearly falling face first into the wet sand.

Riley wraps her arms around Sam and gives her a quick kiss on the nose. Sam wraps her arms around Riley's waist and stares into her girlfriend's blue eyes.

"There's so many things I want to do to you." Sam whispers. "But there's one thing I really want to do...Right now..."

"Oh yeah?" Riley asks raising an eyebrow. "And what's that?"

Sam leans towards Riley and gives her a hug. When she pulls away a smirk is on her face. She tightens her grip on Riley and picks her up.

Riley screams and Sam laughs as she runs into the water and throws Riley in, of course Riley manages to pull Sam down too.

"SAM!! IT'S COLD!!" Riley squeals.

Sam swims over to Riley and pulls her in for a kiss as the sun goes down behind them.

"Hmm...Your kisses seem to warm me up though." Riley grins as she holds on to Sam and hugs her.

A cry of pain and a gunshot snaps Sam back to reality.

She stands up quickly, followed by Beth. She reaches for the knife in her boot.

"Get inside." Sam orders Beth as she begins to run off in the direction of the noise.

"What about you?!" Beth yells after her.

"I'll be fine!" Sam yells as she continues to run.

She reaches the field and sees a walker snacking on Dale's insides.

"Oh God..." She whispers as she begins  to shake.

She looks at Dale who has mouth slightly open, struggling to breathe. Gripping the knife tightly she kneels down and stabs the walker in the head. Cringing slightly as blood trickled down her hand.

She moves the walkers body off of Dale and sits next to him and holds his hand.

"I'm sorry this happend to you." She whispers stroking his hand.

"K-K-Kill....Me...." He manages to say.

"DALE!!! OH MY GOD DALE!!!" Andrea cries running over and pushing Sam out of the way, she hisses in pain as her bad shoulder hits the ground.

Everyone gathers around Dale, except for Beth who kneels down next to Sam and helps her sit up.

"We...We need to get him inside...Hershel.." Rick says looking at Hershel who shakes his head no.

"He won't make the trip." Hershel replies sadly.

Andrea begins to cry and shakes as she holds the gun in her hand. Daryl gently takes it from her and aims it at Dale's head who begins to nod his head slowly.

"Sorry brother." Daryl whispers before a gunshot is heard and Dale is at peace.

Rick wipes his eyes and clenches his jaw.

"Tomorrow, we hold a funeral service. For both Dale and Otis, and I know we all voted to kill Randall...But in honor of Dale we let him go. When it's dark so he can't find his way back. He will be blindfolded. But we do this for Dale." Rick announces and everyone nods their heads.

Andrea quickly looks to Sam and Sam glares at Andrea.

"You gonna blame me for Dale dying too? Why don't you blame me for everyone elses death too?" Sam snaps  before standing up and storming inside. She walks up to the bedroom and lays down on her bed. She sees her jacket on the chair, clean again.

She looks at the window and shakes her knee. She bites her lip, thinking. She rolls off the bed and grabs her jacket. Checking to make sure she has her knife, she sneaks downstairs and sneaks out of the back door and runs into the woods.

I can't stay here anymore. I'm done.
