Wake the Dead

chapter 20

Ok ok ok ok, so.... I have like songs in the back of my head for certain scenes that describe the sadness or whatever emotion of the moment. I thought that I would share and you guys could like youtube the songs or something! So, if you see a song title or link (in bold) that's what it is! Let me know if you want me to keep doing it or not!!

I was frozen looking at her completely lifeless body on the ground. Blood had slipped out from the bullet wound on her head making me fully aware of what I just did. I felt a hand on my upper back and saw Rick appear next to me, looking at Sophia with guilty eyes. I didn't look away until I heard the screams of Beth who had tried to get to her mom, who happened to still be up and biting. 

Everyone frantically pulled them away and killed the walker for good. I saw out of the corner of my eye, Carol push Daryl away and run off.

Hershel and his people started to walk off, all holding each other, but Shane just went after them. "We had spent days lookin for that little girl and she was in there the whole time!" 

Rick went after them and yelled at Shane. I looked back at Syd who was was walking back to camp, she gave me a nod and then I went after Rick and Shane. 

"Otis must have put her in there before he was killed." Hershel said in a quiet voice, still shocked. 

"Y'all expect me to believe that! That's bowl shit!" Shane said taking a step closer, only to be smacked and pushed by Maggie. 

Hershel's family all went into the house and Glenn walked off, leaving only Rick, Shane, and I. Rick started to try to see what the hell was wrong with Shane, but Shane just yelled at Rick some more. I was furious at Shane for doing what he did. We needed to stay here. I needed to give my sister a safe place and Lori needed one for her baby, too! 

"Everyone knew that little girl was dead!" I heard Shane yell, which made me snap. I took a step and punched him right across the jaw as hard as I could, making him hold his jaw and grunt in pain as Rick grabbed me around the waist to stop me from doing anymore damage.

I ripped away from Rick and stormed off to the stables. I passed the camp and saw Daryl packing up his tent to move away.

I had to kill the walker that once was Sophia in front of everybody because of Shane! I was starting to get these people to some what like me, but now? 

I heard footsteps behind me and already knew they were Rick's so I spun around and pointed at him. "If you're here to tell me that it wasn't cool to punch Shane then just don't! He needs to be put in his place and taken care of!" I said shouting at Rick while I pointed my finger into his chest. "And what the hell are you doing Rick? Carrying around that walker around?! I understand you were convincing Hershel, but did you think Shane was just gona wave at you with a smile from the distance when he saw that!?" 

My throat was hurting from the yelling, so I stopped and ran my hand through my hair. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't be taking this out on you." I said, looking up and seeing Daryl go into the RV with Carol. I tried so hard to not be jealous because Carol needed the comfort, but Daryl never went out of his way to comfort me like that. 

Rick followed my gaze at Daryl, but then turned back to me. "It's fine. You need to let it out and I don't mind if it's on me, Fiona." He paused. "It's better than turning Shane into your personal punching bag." He said, trying to lighten my mood. I let out a little chuckle and slid down against the wall of the stable to sit. "It's just this was different. It was Sophia!" I said as I rested my head on the wall in sadness. "I hadn't talked to her much, or been with y'all for too long when she got lost, but I knew what it was like to be her and she didn't deserve any of it."
