That's the bear that I'll be talking about in this chapter.

Rosabeth's POV

We are all at the shooting range and everything is already set up. Everyone was doing good. T-dog tells the kid(more of a teen) next to him to not give him the "gangsta shit". We stay out here for a while and just watch everyone hit the targets. After a while we go back to camp. Carl did good, and I'm impressed. He's a natural. I walk over to camp and into my tent. I look through my stuff and see my son's stuffed bear. I forgot I grabbed that. I remember getting it. He loved it, always had it. After his death I always kept it.

~Time skip~

It's morning and everyone is eating. Glenn walks over to the edge of the big tent.
"Um, guys. So... the barns full of walkers." He says. Oh my god. Everyone stops and walks over to the barn. Shane walks up and looks through a hole in the barn. He turns and walks past Rick asking if he's alright with this.
"No I'm not, but we're guests here. This isn't our land." Rick says. Shane yells that it's our lives.

"Lower your voice, Shane." I say looking at him. Andrea says we can't just sweep this under the rug. T says it isn't even remotely right. Shane explains that we either go or make it right and that we've been talking about fort benning for a while. "We can't go." Rick says. Shane asks why.

"Cause Sophia is still out there." I say. Damn he's dumb sometimes. He just laughs it off saying that she's probably dead and Daryl starts arguing about it. I walk in between them with my arms out. They start trying to fight and Rick runs over to help me keep them back.
"Now just let me talk to Hershel. Let me figure it out." Rick says. Shane gets mad and yells at him and walks toward him and I push him back telling him enough.

"If we're gonna stay, if we're gonna clear this barn, I have to talk him into it. This is his land." Rick says to Shane. Dale says that Hershel sees them as people-sick people. Shane gets mad that Dale knew yesterday and didn't say anything. The barn starts rattling because we are yelling. I stand and look at it kinda mortified.

Shane has gone crazy. He has the bag of guns, handing them out saying that the place isn't safe, he even gave me mine! T-dog says oh shit and I look over and see Rick and Hershel handling walkers. Shane starts to run over and I run after him. Thank god for taking track in high school. Shane asks Rick what he's doing and Rick tells him to back off.

"Are you kidding me? You see? You see what there holding onto?" Shane asks/yells. Hershel says he knows who he's holding onto. "No man, ya don't." Shane says. Rick asks if they can talk about it. While all of this is going on I have my gun trained onto the walker Rick is holding onto.

"These things aren't sick. They're not people. They're dead! Ain't gonna feel nothing for them cause all they do, they kill! These things right here there the things that killed Amy! They killed Otis. They're gonna kill all of us." I look over and see Lori and Carl running over, Carl holding his gun wound. Damnit.

"Hey Hershel man, let me ask you something. Could a living breathing person, could they walk away from this?" He asks shooting the walker Hershel is holding in the stomach. Shane keeps talking about how he shot it in the chest then the heart and the lungs. Rick tell him enough and Shane agrees and kills the walker. It falls down and Hershel falls with it.

"Enough risking our lives for a little girl who's gone! Enough living nest to a barn of things that are trying to kill is. Enough. Rick it ain't like it was before!" Shane is just going to run us off Hershel's land. This isn't good. He keeps talking about if we want to live and survive, then we gotta fight for it. Oh god. He walks over and breaks the barn's binds and backs up while the walkers flow out.
