Unexpected || Daryl Dixon

[20]: Nebraska

~Day 71~

The group was deadly silent as they all stood still and registered what had just happened moments ago. They all had shot up all the walkers that were in the barn. 

Then they found Sophia but she was a walker which resulted in Rick, killing her since nobody else had the guts to put her down.

Daryl and Rebecca were still on the ground, holding a hysterical Carol in their arms. She had just found and lost her daughter all in a span of five minutes. 

Rebecca glanced back over to Lori who was still on the ground, holding Carl who was just as heartbroken as Carol was. She felt awful that Carl had to witness his own father kill his best friend. 

Rebecca looked back over at Daryl who gestured to help him get Carol up. Together the two of them pulled Carol up from the ground. "Don't look," Daryl kept muttering towards Carol.

Carol having enough pushed Rebecca and Daryl off. Rebecca could see the fresh tears streaming down Carol's face before she ran off to mourn the loss of her daughter. 

Now the only crying that remained was Beth who was being consoled by her boyfriend, Jimmy. She pulled away from Jimmy and marched towards the pile of dead walkers.

"Shh, shh, shh. Wait, wait, wait, wait," Rick pleaded her as he put his arm out in front of her to stop her but she pushed his arm away and trudged through the pile of dead walkers, looking for the one person that meant the world to her.

She rolled a walker off top of another one and knelt down. She then rolled a walker over and cried some more as she stared down at it. 

Rebecca guessed that the walker obviously meant a lot to Beth and she was right when she heard her cry out, "Ma!" Rebecca glanced down at the ground, not wanting to watch this scene but sprang into action when she heard Beth let out a scream.

The walker had opened its eyes and let out a growl before grabbing Beth's pigtails. Beth continued screaming as the group quickly hurried over to her to save her.

"Come on!" Rebecca yelled as she, Shane, Rick and Glenn huddled around Beth. Shane, Rick and Rebecca wrapped their arms around Beth and pulled with all their strength to get her away from the walker but it still held onto her. 

"Move its arms, Glenn!" Rebecca shouted as Glenn moved to pull the walkers arms off Beth's hair and kept them in his hands while Shane kept screaming "Pull her away!" Finally they managed to pull Beth away from the walker. 

Hershel ran over to Beth and took her in his arms while T-Dog stomped his foot into the walker's head. Rebecca glanced around the farm and spotted the pickaxe that Shane had used to bust open the barn doors.

"Andrea!" Rebecca yelled as she looked over at her. "Get the pickaxe!" she ordered as Andrea nodded and ran over to get the pickaxe since she was the closest one to it. Andrea picked it up and walked over to Glenn who still had the walker's arms in his grasp.

Andrea braced herself before swinging the pickaxe straight into the walker's head. The walker stopped growling making Glenn let go off it and it dropped to the ground, lifeless.

Glenn stepped back as the group all gathered to catch their breath from what had just happened. 

Maggie and Patricia went towards Hershel who was still holding onto Beth as she cried hysterically into his arms. Together the Greene family all trudged back to their farmhouse.

Rebecca figured that the Greene family wanted privacy to mourn as they did just lose all their friends and family thanks to the massacre that Shane had started and finished. She figured her group would let them be but she was wrong as Shane immediately followed after the Greene family, determined to get answers about Sophia.
