Death Is The Next Step

Previously On WillBrennan7's The Walking Dead...

"My dad Ben and Amy are the leaders" Max says, as Amy smiles down at Sam. "They need to know how to fight" Hannah says, as members of the town fire guns at cans. "Nick?" Sam asks, as he holds his dead cousin in his arms. "AIM FOR THE HEAD" Terry screams, as he and many towns members shoot walkers down. "I believe you'll be a great leader" Amy tells Sam, who smiles at her. Molly is shot through the stomach, as William says "My wife...my child..." The group then stands over the dead herd, drenched in blood.

William and Ted tossed a walker into a burning fire, before turning back. There were a few smaller fires going, but there were still many more bodies that they had to get rid of. "We've got a lot of work to do" Ted said. "No kidding" said William, smiling. He went to a nearby body and looked at it. It was a woman, and she had a bullet hole through her stomach.

William stared at the walker, and suddenly thought back to that day. His wife going down, him surrounded by walkers. "Will." He looked up, and saw Ted staring down at him. "You okay?" William simply nodded, and said "Yeah. Everything's cool." He picked up the body and tossed her into the fire, and watched her burn.

"Good work everyone" Sam called to the large group of people. They were all slowly getting rid of the bodies, but they were together as a team. "They're doing good" Sam said, looking down at Heather. "Yeah" said Heather. "They seem to have taken to listening to you." Sam smiled down at her.

Jason tossed a walker into a fire, as Hannah approached, dragging one on the ground. "That group is gonna attack again" she said. "I know" said Jason. "We're gonna have to do something." "Like what?" Hannah asked. "I was hoping you could answer that" said Jason. Hannah sighed, and said 'I can't."

Amy stood with Max and Bella. "We're making a lot of progress people" Max said to them. Amy wasn't listening. She looked down at her hands, and felt very sweaty. She was shaking, as she heard a distant voice ask "Ma, you okay?" Amy looked around, but everything seemed to be getting darker.

"Ma" Bella said, looking into her mother's eyes. "Hector." Hector ran over to Bella and asked "What's wrong?" "I don't" said Bella. "She's pale and sweating." Sam and Heather ran over, as Sam asked "What happened?" "We don't" Hector began, but he stopped. Bella had lifted her mother's shirt, and they all so a bite mark on her side.

"Guys" Amy's shaky voice said, looking up at them. Heather's hand went over her mouth, as Amy looked down at her side. "Well...shit" Amy said. Sam took her hand, as they saw the blood streaming down her side, as tears appeared at Amy's eyes.

Hector walked out of a bedroom, as the others stood outside. "Is she doing better?" Max asked. Hector looked at him and said "Under the circumstances, yes. But, you know as well as I, there is nothing we can do." Max walked back down the hall, before he smacked the wall, making a dent. "Max" Bella said. "It's not fair" he said. "We already lost so much. Joe, dad...how can we lose anymore in such a short amount of time?" "That's just our world, Max" said Bella, going to him. "This world is bullshit" he said, turning and walking off.

Bella turned back to the others, and said "We'll talk to him. He'll be fine." "Hector" Sam said. "Is she strong enough for us to hold a meeting?" "She's still coping with it" said Hector. "For right now, it would be best for her to just rest. Maybe we can talk in a little while." "Okay" said Sam. "But, it needs to be soon." He walked off, followed by Heather and Hannah.
