Surviving The Walking Dead

Ch:15 Michonne to the Rescue

Daryl and Maggie kept holding onto my hand as we ran. Daryl looked over at Maggie and said "go on ahead". She asked "are you sure"? Daryl said "yeah". Maggie ran forward gaining a lot of ground between us.

Daryl picked me up and ran with me in his arms. I said "put me down, it's slowing you down". Daryl said "well I'm got gonna leave you". I said "you dont have to, just let me go". He set me down and waited for me. I said "run ahead to gain some ground". He ran ahead and didnt stop. I watched as he ran and I said "I'm right behind you"!

After he ran out of my sights I smiled and said "It's better off this way Daryl". I took off my crossbow and loaded it. I raised it up to a walkerd head and it dropped to the ground. I laughed and said "39 to go". I took aim again and killed another walker. one was about to bite down on my arm, but a Samuri Sword flung into it's rotted head.

I smiled and said "thanks Rick, but when I looked back it was the black woman from the prison. She looked at me and asked "are you bit"? I said "no, just shot". She walked over to the rest and so did I. I grabbed my knifves and helped this woman kill them all. I asked "whats your name"? She said "Michonne". I smiled and said "nice to meet you, I'm Shelby". She smiled and said "nice to meet you".

After we took them all out I said "I have most of your group, you could come back with us". She let out a relieveing breath of air and asked "who". I smiled and said "Daryl, Carl, Rick, Maggie, Sasha, and Bob". She said "ok, lets go get them".

We ran forward where the group ran. I heard 2 voices scream my name. I hollered back and said "I'm coming". We ran even faster, but I fell a bit behind because I kept limping. Soon I seen the rest of the group and Carl came running over to me. He scooped me up and held me tight. I hugged him back as he started to cry.

I said "it's ok, I'm here now". Daryl came running over and said "what the hell was that back there" while he wiped the tears from his eyes. I said "I had to let you guys get a head start, and it was a good thing cause I found Michonne". Everybody looked at her and they all walked over. Everybody gave her a hug and they talked for a few seconds.

Sasha asked Michonne "have you ran into Tyrese"? Michonne looked over at her and said "No, but I have a feeling that he is alive". Maggie asked "have you seen Beth or Glenn"? She shook her head and said "no, sorry". Michonne looked around and asked "where's Judith"? Carl ran over to Rick and hugged him. I said "she didnt make it".

I could see the hurt in Michonnes eyes and a few tears ran down her face. I looked at the group and said "cmon guys, we cant stop now, we need to find the others". Rick said "I agree, we need to split up into 2 groups and look for them". I asked "is splitting up the best idea right now, I mean we just found eachother".

Daryl looked at me and said "well how will we find the others then"? I said "we make signs, there is a pile of wood a few yards back, and I could carve the words into the wood with my knife". Daryl smiled and said "smart girl".

Carl, Michonne, and I walked back to get some wood. The rest stayed behind and tried to figure out where to put the signs. Carl grabbed 5 pieces of wood, Michonne grabbed 8, and I grabbed 12. Carl joked and said "look at Mr. Muscles over there". I smiled and said "damn straight". Michonne smiled and asked "how did you guys become a couple"? Carl looked at me then said "well at first I hated her, but then she grew on me and I fell for her". I smiled and got butterflies in my stomach.

When we got back to the others we set the wood in a big pile. We all got out our knives and started caving messages into the wood. Mine said "To beth, Tyrese, or Glenn, your group has been here. Keep going forward". I was the first one to finish so I set the piece of wood on the hood of a car. I took a few steps back and could clearly read my carving, so I thought to myself "they will definatly know to read it".
