Follow You Into The Dark - Shane Walsh [ the walking dead ]

Chapter Eleven

Once the camp was out of walkers, the R.V door opened and the people inside got out. I stood alone in the middle of the field as i looked at the destruction around me. Andrea still held onto Amy.

'' Are you okay? Are you hurt? Were you bite? '' My mother asks running up to me, touching my arms as she tries to see if i was okay. My eyes still focus on Amy that took her last breath a few moments ago.

'' Yeah '' I whisper '' Are you? '' I turn my eyes to my mom, her hair was a mess, but other than that she looked fine. I still looked at her up and down to try and see if she was okay. She nods her head, tears spilling from her eyes as she hugs me.

'' I was so afraid i would lose you '' She cries on my shoulder, Crystal walks towards me and lets a shaky breath escape her lips.

'' Are you okay? '' I ask and she nods, tears starting to cascade down her face, i bring my arm out and she engulfs me and my mom in a hug. Both women crying while i hold them. '' We need to take care of the people '' I whisper.

Mom lets go of my embrace and look's around. She looks at me with a sad smile on her face and goes to Carol, Ed had died and turned into one of the dead ones. Crystal stayed with me, and we both watched Andrea and Amy.

'' Go see if she needs something '' I kiss Crystal's cheek.

'' Ashley '' I ear Shane calling my name, already walking up to me. Crystal nods and walks towards Andrea who lays her head on Crystal's shoulder as both grieve the death of Amy. I wait for Shane to approach me.

'' Are you okay? '' He asks and i nod, he lets a breath out of his mouth and grabs my body. Engulfing me in a hug. I lay my head on his chest, his heart beating fast as the adrenaline was still running through his veins. He grabs my face, as he looks into my eyes. '' Don't ever run away like that, you could have been hurt ''

'' I had to do something, we could have died '' I grab his wrists, as he still held my face.

'' You could have died '' I stay silent at that. Taking a deep breath.

'' We need to take care of the bodies '' I say, he lets his hands fall to his sides as he looks around, a sad expression takes over his features as he looks at the destruction around the place.

'' Stick with me '' He caresses my cheek and i nod. Walking with him towards the bodies.

Everyone helped around the camp, separating our loved ones from the walkers. I went up to the hills where Jim dug a few holes hours before the attack. Still, it wasn't enough, we had to dig more holes. I helped Shane, one shovel in my hand as i dig the hole a few feet under.

'' I think that's enough '' Shane lets the shovel fall to the ground as he walks towards me. '' Let's go check up on them ''

He grabs my hand, as i keep silent. We get inside my jeep. Shane on the driver's seat and me on the passengers. The ride was very short and no one spoke. Once we got there, both of us walked away from each other, sharing a look before doing it.
