[Ash]
Me, Rick, and Glenn walk out the back door, covered in Wayne's guts. I literally have his hand and foot necklaced around my neck on a string of his organs.
We walk slowly and with limps. Rick holds an axe. Glenn holds a crowbar. And I hold a baseball bat. Also all covered in guts.
We walk past two biters and when they're turned away from us, we quickly drop and start slowly crawling under the bus.
I am the first to stand and I see all the biters roaming around me, like I'm not even here. Rick stands next and then Glenn.
[3rd POV]
On the roof, everyone comes running through the door. Merle turns around. "Hey, what's happening, man?" He asks.
"Hey, T-Dog, try that C.B." Morales says as they all run across and to the wall.
"Hey, come on. Talk to me, y'all." Merle says annoyed.
"Base camp, this is T-Dog. Anybody hear me? Can anybody out there hear me?" He asks into the radio.
"There." Morales points into the road where Rick, Glenn, and Ash were slowly walking.
"That asshole is out on the street with the handcuff keys?" Merle asks.
T-Dog holds up the key to the handcuffs. Merle glares at him and then looks around. "Hey, where my lil sister at?" He asks the group.
"She went with Rick and Glenn." Jackie says.
"What?! And y'all let her?!" Merle screams at them.
"Shh!" Morales says, looking into the binoculars.
"Don't tell me to shh! Y'all let my lil sister out on that road! When I get out of these, I swear I'm gonna kill all y'all." Merle threatens.
[Ash]
We continue walking for what feels like forever. My heart continues to race in my throat as I look at the biters.
They were once real people, too. Just like me. Worrying about life things. But now, we have to worry about surviving skills and staying alive.
As I pass a biter, I look into her hollow eyes. I can't see not one ounce of anything alive or even human in them. They're just... Dead and hollow.
"It's gonna work. I can't believe it." Glenn whispers.
"Don't draw attention." Rick whispers back to him.
A biter pushes me aside and walks up to Glenn. He starts moaning like one of them and they pass him after giving him a long glance.
I feel rain hitting my face and I start to panic. It'll wash the guts right off us! We're gonna get caught! We're gonna die!
We continue walking through the biters. "The smells washing off, isn't it? Is it washing off?" Glenn asks panicking as the biters start coming for us, growling.
"No, its not." Rick says. He knows it is. He just wants to keep us calm. "Well, maybe."
A biter comes right for Rick and he swings his axe into its head. "Run!" He yells at us.
We start running as fast as we can, me making sure Rick and Glenn are in front of me. They are attacking and killing any biter that gets in the way.
I have never killed a biter since this started. I just left them alone. But now, I don't think that's an option.
One comes right at me and I push it with my bat away from me. Two more come for me and I run faster to get away.
We run to the fence and throw our weapons up it. They climb the fence very quickly but I get my jacket caught and I'm pulled back.
I'm hanging from the top of the fence by my jacket as they continue running forward, away from the fence as the biters jump on it.
I quickly shrug out of my jacket and land on the ground painfully. I get up, grab my bat, and follow after the guys. Rick shoots the ones that climb the fence.
"Rick!" Glenn shouts as he tosses Rick the keys. Rick catches them and runs to the truck.
He hops in and I push Glenn in and then I jump in and slam the door closed right when a biter ran into it.
"Go go go go!" Glen screams and Rick lurches backward. I look ahead as we continue going in reverse.
The biters knocked down the fence and start running at us with speed I didn't know they had.
Rick tells Glenn about distracting them and leading them away and then the truck stops and I get out and let Glenn out. "Good luck." I tell him.
"Yeah, you too, Ash." He says as he breaks a window of a red porsche. He gets in and drives off. I get back in and we ride back to the store.
We back up and Rick gets back and lifts up the back. The gate to the store opens and the group is there.
I hear people scream as they load up the truck with their things. Rick climbs back up front and sits down.
Rick drives as the biters come out the door. Morales quickly shuts the back.
Its all quiet and I look around, noticing Merle is missing. "Where's Merle?" I ask.
"I dropped the damn key." T-Dog says.
I look at him from my spot on the ground since me and Morales switched spots. "You what?" I ask him, not sure if I heard right.
"I dropped the key, alright?" He says looking really guilty.
"Why didn't you pick it up?" I ask him.
"It fell down a pipe." He says closing his eyes and shaking his head.
"No. No, Rick, we have to go back." I tell him.
"We aren't going back there." Andrea says.
"Rick! Please! He's my brother!" I scream at Rick, begging him to go back.
"We can't, Ash. Not right now. I'm sorry." He says.
"No... No... Please. We have to go back." I say hugging my knees to my chest.
"It'll be okay, Ash. He's a fighter." Jackie says, putting her hand on my shoulder.
I nod my head. "Yeah, he is." I don't care if he's an alligator. I care about him and I want him safe. I'm going back there whether they like it or not.
