What if it's us~ Carl Grimes Gay

Chapter 13

Max Dixon's POV

I woke up early the next morning and got ready for the day. My dad was better and was walking around, so that's good. Carl was also up and about. I grabbed my stuff before heading out of my tent. I go over to the campfire and see that everyone was up and eating eggs. Carol handed me a plate before sitting down next to Sophia.

I sit down next to dad as I look around. Andrea was sharpening a knife, while everyone else was sitting around eating. Then Glenn stood up.
"Um, guys."Glenn calls. I look up at him as I continue to eat. "So, the barn is full of walkers."Glenn states. I stop eating as I look at him shocked.

Rick and Shane get up before heading over to the barn along with all of us. We get outside of it and Shane peaks in before stepping back towards Rick. "You cannot tell me you're alright with this."Shane growls. "No I'm not, but we're guests here. This isn't our land."Rick shot back.

"This is our lives!"Shane yells. "Lower your voice."Glenn urges. "We can't just sweep this under the rug."Andrea says. "It ain't right. Not remotely."
T-Dog says. "Okay, we either got to go in there, we've got to make things right or we've just got to go. We have been talking about Fort Benning for a long time."Shane decides.

"We can't go."Rick states. "Okay, why Rick, why?"Shane asks. "Because Carl's still healing"Lori says. "Carl will be fine. Worst possibility is his wound gets infected and he dies, but that's just one lost instead of all of us dieing."Shane says. This pissed me off so I quickly step forward and punch him in the face.

"Don't you ever say something like that again!"I roar in between punches. Shane than throws a punch at me and hits me in the face as we continues to fight. That was until Rick and T-Dog grabbed Shane and My dad and Glenn grabbed me. "Keep your hands off me."Shane growls. "Than keep your mouth shut. All it does is cause problems."I shot back.

"Enough you two. I'm gonna talk to Hershal. Let me figure it out."Rick says. "What are you gonna figure out?!"Shane yells. "If we're gonna stay, if we're gonna clear this barn, I have to talk him into it. This is his land." Rick yells. "Hershal sees those things in there as people, sick people, his wife, his stepson."Dale states

"You knew?"Rick asks. "Yesterday I talked to Hershal."Dale says. "And you waited the night?"Shane asks. "I thought we could survive one more night. We did. I was waiting till this morning to say something. But Glenn wanted to be the one."Dale explains.

"The man is crazy, Rick, if Hershal thinks those things are alive or no."Shane yells. Then the walkers in the barn started to bang on the door and growl catching our attention. We all looked at the barn as they continues to get louder.

After that we all went back up to camp to decide what to do while Shane stayed back and watched over the barn. Lori and Carol took Carl and Sophia over to work on some school work while I went over to Glenn who was on watch.

"Hey, Glenn! I'm gonna go hunting! I'll
be back in a little while."I call out. "Okay, be careful, Max!"He calls back. With that said I head out into the woods.

I get out there and start to look for tracks. After a little while of looking I found some tracks. But they were human tracks and fresh. I carefully follow them before coming into the swamp. Then I saw Dale pointing his rifle at Shane. I stay quiet as I hide behind a tree. What the hell was going on?

Then I saw the bag of guns next to Dale. Was he trying to make a run for it with our guns? Then Shane stepped forward to where the end of Dales rifle was pushed up against his chest. I was to far away to hear what they were saying though. But Dale lowers his gun and slings it over his shoulder.

Then Dale hands the bag of guns to Shane and Shane walks back towards camp. I quietly come out as Dale sees me. "What the hell was that about?"I question as I step closer to him. "Shane is dangerous. He killed Otis and has tried to kill Rick. We can't trust him."Dale explains. "Then why the hell did you give him the guns?"I ask.

"I didn't have no choice. He would have killed me."Dale explains. "Come on, let's go see what he's up to."I say before taking off towards camp. After a few minutes of sprinting I emerge from the trees and quickly head towards the farmhouse where Shane is heading.

I get up there just as he handed a gun to Glenn. "Shane, stop!!"I yell at him getting his attention. He turns to me before walking up to me and holding out a gun. "You gonna protect yours?" He asks. "And how do you want me to do that? Kill someone? Like how you killed Otis?"I question causing him to glare at me.

"What?!"Maggie asks shocked.
"Yeah, he killed Otis. Not the walkers, him."I announce to everyone. They all looked at Shane shocked.
"Oh, shit."T-Dog says. We all look over and see Rick, Hershal and Jimmy coming out of the woods with 2 walkers on sticks.

Shane takes off towards them making the rest of us follow. "What the hell are you doing?"Shane yells at them as we approach them. "Are you kidding me? You see? You see what they're holding onto?"Shane asks as he points at Hershal and Rick.

"I see who I'm holding onto."Hershal corrects. "No, man, you don't."Shane says. "Shane, just let us do this and then we can talk."Rick says. "What you want to talk about, Rick? These things ain't sick. They're not people. They're dead. Ain't you gonna feel nothing for them cause all they do, they kill! These things right here, they're the things that killed Amy. They're gonna kill all of us."Shane yells.

"Shane, shut up!"Rick yells. "Hey, Hershal man, let me ask you something. Could a living breathing person, coukd they walk away from this?"Shane asks before shooting the girl walker 3 times in the chest before shooting it in the head.

"Enough living next to a barn full of things that are trying to kill us. Enough. Rick, it ain't like it was before! Now if y'all want to live, if you all want to survive, you gotta fight for it! I'm talking about righting right here, right now."Shane yells before picking up a pickaxe and tacking it to the lock in the barn doors. Rick keeps on yelling at Hershal to take the snare pole but he wouldn't.

Then Shane opened the barn doors and backed up. Walkers started to pile out. Shane started shooting them before Andrea and T-Dog joined in. I stepped forward with my dad as we started to shoot them too. Then Glenn and Rick joined. Carol was holding Sophia as Lori held Carl. Both of the kids were crying.

Soon the walkers stop coming out. We lower our guns as we look at all the bodies. Then Dale showed up. He came up to us and looked around shocked. "I told you."Is all he says to me before walking back to camp.
