A Way To Survive |TWD - Reader Insert|

|CHAPTER 9|

Finally coming to your senses, you run up to Carol and Daryl. Carol was sobbing, and doing whatever she could to fight against Daryl's hold on her. She wanted to run up to her girl, and find out that everything was fine. That her daughter never turned, and that Rick missed, but both you and Daryl knew otherwise.

"Don't look, don't look," Daryl slowly got up from his crouched position, and picked Carol up with him. He began to walk away from the barn, Carol still in his arms and fighting against his hold. You walked alongside them, rubbing your hand on Carol's shoulder. She forced Daryl off, and smacked your hand away. She then looked at the both of you, turned around, and stormed away from the barn.

Looking over to the Greene family, you could see that they were all at a loss for words. The only sound that emitted from them were Beth's cries. She began to walk up to the corpses. Rick tried to stop her, but she just shrugged him off, and continued to go over to the bodies.

After she went to a specific corpse and flipped it around and spoke, "ma," after she said that, her dead mother began to reach out for her, and grabbed onto her arms. She was snarling, and brought Beth closer, so she could bite her.

After realising what was happening, everyone rushed to get Beth away from the roamer. Glenn grabbed onto the roamer, and T-Dog began to kick its head in. Then Andrea grabbed a sickle, and stabbed the roamer in the head. Everything once again, fell quiet. The Greene family decided to go back to the house, and try to process what just happened. But Shane, being Shane, decided to follow them and yell.

"We've been out. We've been combing these woods looking for her, and she was in there all along? You knew," Shane blamed the Greene family, while you and Rick followed close behind Shane.

"Leave us alone," Maggie told Shane off.

"Hey Shane, just stop," Rick tried to reason, and grabbed onto Shane's shoulder, only to have his hand swept away.

"Get your hands off me. You knew, and you kept it from us."

"I didn't know," Hershel said.

"That's bullshit, I think y'all knew."

"We didn't know," Maggie chimed in.

"Then why was she there?" Shane yelled, and Hershel turned to look at him.

"Otis put those people in the barn. Maybe he found her and put her in there before he was killed," you could see Shane flinch a little when Hershel said Otis was killed. He thought that you told Hershel about what he did to Otis. Shane then rationalised that if you said anything, Hershel would have been much more upfront about it, and would have said that Shane himself killed Otis.

"You expect me to believe that? Do I look like an idiot?"

"Shane, hey hey hey," Rick tried to defuse the situation.

"I don't care what you believe, get him off my land!" Hershel began to yell, and Rick tried to get in between the two men.

"Let me tell you something," Shane pushes past Rick, and Maggie yells at Shane and slaps him.

"Haven't you had enough?" she and the others go back inside, and Hershel stops to look at Rick.

"I mean it, off my land," with that being said, Hershel walks inside.

The others that were with you, Glenn, Rick and Shane, were all left speechless. Not only was Sophia dead, but they were being kicked out. You didn't want to hear anything else Shane would have to say, so you go to walk inside. Because Rick and Shane were in your way, you shove past them, mostly bumping shoulders with Shane. After you get to the door, you stop before walking inside.
