Loving a Wounded Huntsman

Chapter 3: Guts

"So lemme get this straight, ya want us to rub disease invested walker muck all over you and Glenn's bodies?" I said. The whole group had put on a pair of white lab coats that were stashed away in the old boxes. They smelt of old vinegar and rat poison.

"That's right. T-Dog, I need you to unlock Merle. We can't leave him behind." Rick said while handing over a small silver key tonT-Dog. T-Dog nodded then disappear up behind the wooden door.

"Ok, Let's just get this shit over with." Glenn said looking away with his head down.

Rick brought up the axe but then set it down to side. I looked at him strangely as he went through the walkers pocket and pulled out a wallet. He opened it up and pulled out an I.D of an elderly man with bright blue eyes and a warming smile.

"His name was Wayne Dunlap. He was 81 years old and a Navy Veteran. He had $15 and 47 cents in his pocket when he died. He was also an organ donator." Rick smiled at the I.D picture. I looked down at floor paying whatever respects I could give to the man that would most likely save my life.

Then without warning, I felt cold, thick, clumpy ooze all over my chest. I looked up to see Rick cutting through Wayne's legs. He brought down the hatchet a few more times so his guts spilled out of his stomach and rib cage.

"Start pickin some up and spreadin." Rick said turning around so his back was facing us.

I reached my hand in and could feel the vomit burning my throat. I looked away so I was facing the gray broken wall. I heard Andrea squeal and Casey sob silently.

Once I felt like I had enough I stood up and walked over to Rick. I smeared the gross organs and dead blood all over his back. I even look a piece of Wayne's small intestine and wrapped it around his neck.

I went back to Wayne about five more times after that so Casey wouldn't have to.

"You too smell disgusting." I chuckled out.

Rick looked down at his now black and red  body and then looked over at Glenn who was now throwing up on the leftover boxes.

"Y'all can watch us from the roof." Rick said while walking towards the door. Glenn followed wiping his mouth of the left over stomach acid.

Me, Casey, Morales, Andrea, and the women named Jacque walked up the stairs to the roof. The sun had started disappearing behind giant grey clouds.

"Shouldn't we worry about the rain?" I asked Morales who was looking down at a tired Merle.

"Just a freak storm, should blow over in a few minutes." Morales said shrugging his shoulders.

I looked down the ledge and saw the familiar red baseball cap that Glenn was wearing.

"I see them!" I yelled to the group.

"See who? Them suicidel idiots." Merle said  laughing.

"Shut up." I said stepping over and slapping Merle in the face.

"Ooh, Brown one got an arm." he said feeling his face with his free hand.

"She got a name too." I said turning back too the ledge.

That's when I felt the familiar feeling of cold rain water on my scalp. I looked up and pouring rain starting to come down. My tank top was already soaking wet, starting to reveal the outlines of my bra.

"Their in trouble!" I heard Andrea yell.

She picked up a large gun and placed it on the ledge. She started shooting at walkers that got to close to Rick and Glenn. Morales handed me a small handed gun. I shot the walkers closing in on the store. I shot them either right between the eyes or perfectly in the back of the head.

"Your a great shot." I heard Andrea say quietly. I beamed and continued shooting more.

I stopped shooting to the sound of a car alarm.

"Glenn made it!" I yelled.

"T-Dog, unlock Merle!" I yelled to him. He nodded and ran towards him.

I grabbed Casey by the hand and dragged her down the steps with me. I heard Jacque, Andrea, and Morales following behind me.

When we reached the bottom I stopped dead in my tracks to the sound of glass breaking. Walkers started pilling in front all sides of the store. I jumped to the touch of a cold hand on my back. I turned around to see T-Dog behind me.

"Go to the loading dock!" T-Dog yelled in my ear. I nodded and dragged Casey with me by her small wrist.

When we made it, we climbed into the back of a big truck. In had metal walls and a plastic flooring.

Andrea, Morales and Jacque climbed in after me and Casey.

"Where's T-Dog and Merle?" I asked panicking. All the girls shrugged and Morales looked at the floor panting.

"We got to go!" I heard Rick yell from the front.

Right when I was about to close the door, T-Dog jumped in panting. I smiled at his presence and gave him a small side hug.

We all sat in silence as the truck shook back and force driving across the bumpy road.

"Where's Merle?" I asked looking at T-Dog.

"I dropped the damn key." he said looking straight at me. I looked down then looked at Andrea. She seemed worried.

"Andrea, whats wrong?" I asked.

"Whats Daryl going to say?" she said worryingly.

I looked around the truck at my new group.

"Who's Daryl?"
