The Walsh's (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 5

Shane leapt to his feet an gripped his shotgun. He edged closer to the bush as I followed behind him. Suddenly, a teenage boy fell through the bush and he looked awful. His clothes were flithy, he looked like he'd been walking for months and he looked like he hadn't eaten in a while. I knew who it was the minute he fell. "Hunter." I said as Shane cradled the boy in his arms. "T-t-thugs." he muttered. I took the crossbow off his back and Shane took him into the RV. He lay him down on the bed and Dale began fixing him up. I sat on the bed opposite with the crossbow in my lap, Hunter was his father's spitting image with the crystal blue eyes and  beautiful brown hair. "Could you finish him up Kat? I'm gonna go check Daryl's tent for clothes." Dale said handing me the muck covered cloth. I nodded and moved into his place. I dabbed the cloth on a cut above his eye, Hunter whinced in pain and I stopped. "Sorry." I said. "It's ok. Where's dad and uncle Cody?" he asked. "They went back to Atlanta to get your uncle Merle but I think Cody went to get you." I explained. "Has he talked to you yet?" Hunter asked, I bit my lip and continued dabbing. "Not yet sweetie but he will, when it suits him." I replied.

Dale came back with some clean clothes and a fresh pair of boots. "Here we go, young man." he said setting them down at the end of the bed. "Thank you Dale and thanks Kat." Hunter replied. I could see the pain in his eyes when he called me by name. Shane came in, his shotgun still in hand and Jason cautiously standing beside him. "How ya doin' bud?" Shane asked, "ok, thanks Mr Walsh." Hunter replied trying to sit up. I helped him to his feet, he made his way to the bathroom with his clean clothes and got ready. I exited the RV with my hand in Shane's and Jason's in mine. "The boy really likes you." said Shane smiling at me, "yeah he does." I replied kissing his cheek.

Later that night...

Hunter had come and join us for the fish fry. Him and Ryder stayed very close to me and Shane. I knew why but Shane thought it was because the boys didn't trust anyone else but me and Dale. Jason was sat up in his dad's lap, enjoying the fish Shane had made him. Rick still wasn't back and I was getting worried but not as worried as Lori. We didn't let it show and had a laugh with everyone. Amy got up, began walking away when Andrea spun round to ask her where she was going. "Where are you going?" she asked. "I need to pee, jeez, you try to be discreet around here." muttered Amy and we laughed. Time past, I had moved myself beside Shane and rested against his side. He was playing with my hair and whispering things to me.

"Shane." I whispered when it got a little too dirty. "What?" he asked and I slapped him playfully. Suddenly Amy started screaming, we all turned round and saw a walker bite into her arm. Walkers started pouring out of everywhere. "Kat! Get him down!" Shane shouted and I pulled Jason between me and Shane's body's. Shane began shooting walkers down left and right. Shots were also fired from the entrance of camp as Rick and the others came charging in. A walker grabbed hold of my arm and I flung myself away from Shane and Jason. I was cornered. "Kat!" I heared Shane and Rick shout at the same time. A walker got closer as I sunk to the ground in defeat when I felt the body touch my legs. There lay the dead walker, something pulled me up and pushed me behind it. I looked at saw Daryl, shooting down walkers left and right trying to get me to Shane and Jason.

Suddenly it was over. A crying Jason ran into my arms and Shane held me close to his chest with his free hand. "Dad!" shouted Hunter and Daryl turned with Ryder in his arms. "Hunter!" he called back and Hunter ran into both his father's and uncle's arms. Rick was cradling a crying Carl and an emotional Lori. Amy was dead and then we got word of Ed as well. Carol couldn't control her tears. I had a few but out of fear. Shane was trying to shush me and Jason. I looked over to Daryl and he looked at me and nodded in the direction of his tent. Shane took Jason over to his aunt and uncle whilst I followed Daryl to his corner of camp. He began checking me over.

"Are ye ok?"

"I'm fine Daryl, what about you?"

"Better. He's alive Kat. He's alive."

"I know Dar, he wanted me to speak to you."

"We talked about this Kat, Jason and Shane are your family."

"No Daryl. You, Hunter, Ryder, Cody, Dixon and even your douche of a brother are my family too."

"But why Kit-Kat?" *Daryl smirked at the nickname his used to call me*

*I blushed* "Cause I'm afraid you came before Shane."

Daryl smiled and passionately kissed me before pulling back and smiling. "I still love ye Kat but Officer Dipshit's claimed ye." said Daryl. Now I felt bad cause my feelings for Daryl had resurfaced. "I still love you too Dixon but for now, we gotta keep this a secret." I said placing my finger on his lips. He nodded and kissed my hand...

Oh the drama. Daryl and Kat used be an item. Btw, the next part will probably be a flashback part from Kat, Shane and Daryl, just to show you how this all happened. Oh, I love, love triangles, don't you?
