It sunk its teeth into my baby sister's shoulder as she squirmed.
I quickly tackled it when Daryl shot an arrow into into head.
It all happened in seconds.
"Bella." Chandler said in a straight tone of voice.
I was sitting over my sister's body.
"B-bella, I-i love y-you so much." She cried.
I hugged her tightly and picked her up.
"Bella?" Chandler asked.
I just kept walking with my dead sister's body in my arms.
Rick immediately saw what happen and demanded that my father stay inside with Samantha and Renae.
He ran towards me.
Daryl and Chandler followed me.
Anger burned inside of me and the silent tears streamed down my face.
There in my arms was my baby sister.
I collapsed on my knees in front of Rick and just started crying.
Renae ran out of the house and towards me.
Everything was blurring and all I could see was the bloody body in my arms.
"Bel-" Rick muttered.
"No. I'll do it." I cried.
There wasn't much time left until she turned.
Chandler and Daryl stood behind me ready to pull me away.
My dad walked out and saw me on the ground.
He stayed by the stairs and just stared.
He didn't do very well at watching Samantha because she ran out towards me only for Renae to stop her.
She fell to the ground holding Samantha back.
Everyone was staring at me.
Something in me switched.
Suddenly these 'things' weren't dangerous to me anymore.
They were MY prey.
I wasn't going to sit there and stare at one anymore.
I wasn't going to run.
They were all going to be burned.
I would beat this world, for my sister.
The one who couldn't because she was to precious for this world.
I heard the simple inhaling.
Daryl handed me a knife and I held it in my right hand and Chloe in my left arm.
Her eyes opened. They were all white. She moaned and put her hand to my cheek.
"It's okay baby," I whispered "I love you." I said and stuck the knife into her head.
"Bella, c'mon." Chandler said.
Rick took her out of my arms as Chandler pulled me up.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and walked me back to the house.
My body was trembling with tears as he walked me inside and upstairs.
He grabbed me a change of clothes and started the shower.
I sat in the shower and cried.
After I think an hour Chandler knocked on the door.
"Bella are you okay." He asked.
I stopped the shower and dried off.
After I got dressed I unlocked the door and Chandler immediately wrapped me in his arms.
He brought me outside where they were about to burry Chloe.
There were rocks with candles on them and a small hole dug in the ground.
Daryl placed my sister's body wrapped in a white sheet into the grave.
Chandler had them dig the grave under the oak tree by the tulips.
Daryl put the dirt over her and padded it down.
Chandler grabbed my hand and gave it a quick squeeze and my dad stood on the other side of me.
Samantha was balling in Renae's arms and Daryl stood behind me.
In the middle of Rick speaking I collapsed out of Chandler's arms and fell to my knees in front of my baby sister's grave.
I started to cry and quickly Chandler, Daryl and Rick pulled me back up to my feet.
*next day*
I couldn't sleep so while everyone was still asleep I snuck out and into the wood to where the walker was.
I had taken my sword with me.
I bashed its head in a few times and that's when I noticed a shiny gold shimmer under all the blood from my sister and the walker's head I just bashed in.
It was a locket I had given her when she turned five.
It broke in the struggle.
I picked it up and walked back to the house.
Still, no one was awake, so I went into the bathroom and washed it off along with the hammer I used to bash the walker's skull with.
From that moment i carried that locket tied around my sword for as long as I could remember.
As a reminder of why I killed these things.
