Apocalypse Now

Chapter 13: Over-run

Couldn't wait to post this, looking forward to the next few chapters.

As always........ Enjoy!

We quickly made our way inside. I found myself looking back over my shoulder, watching the four men disappear into the trees. I went straight to my bags. I grabbed all my hand gun ammo and shoved them into my backpack. I placed an extra clip into my holster next to my gun. I packed my machete into my backpack as well as my quiver. I left them sticking out, in case I needed them in a hurry. I set my backpack and Daryl's bag and my bow by the door of the room.

It was tense in the house. I was finding it hard to sit still and would be constantly looking out the window. I hated feeling this confined. T-dog, Andrea and myself all stood watch.

Minutes passed, then a few hours.

It was now dark outside. I had a sickening feeling growing in my stomach.

Then we all heard it.

A single gunshot.

Everyone in the house froze.

Fifteen minutes later Glenn and Daryl came inside.

“Rick and Shane ain't back yet?” Daryl asked.

“No” Lori replied worried.

“We heard a shot” Glenn said.

“Maybe they found Randall” Lori replied.

“We found him” Daryl said.

“Is he back in the shed?” Maggie asked.

“He's a walker” Daryl said his eyes resting on me for a few seconds.

“Did you find the walker that bit him?” Hershel asked.

“No, weird thing is, he wasn't bit” Glenn said.

“His neck was broke” Daryl said looking to Hershel.

“So he fought back” Patricia said folding her arms across her chest.

“The thing is, Shane and Randall's tracks were right on top of each other. And Shane ain't no tracker, so he didn't come up behind him...No they were together” Daryl said looking back to me again. I understood what he implied and I would have to agree.

Lori walked over to Daryl, “Would you please get back out there, find Rick and Shane and find out what on earth is going on” she pleaded.

“You got it” he nodded.

“Thank you” she smiled.

Daryl walked over to me and eyed me, “You ok?” he asked.

I nodded. “Be careful out there” I whispered. He nodded back at me.

Daryl, Andrea and Hershel walked outside, a minute later Hershel rushed back inside

“Patricia kill the lights” he said frantically.

I walked outside and to my horror there were hundreds of walkers coming out of the woods and making their way towards the farmhouse.

Fuck, why did my gut have to be right...

“I'll get the guns” Andrea said jogging back inside.

“Maybe they're just passing, like the herd on the highway” Glenn said, “Should we just go inside” he said looking to Daryl.
