Disclaimer: I do not own The Walking Dead or Shane Walsh at all. Wish I did but I don't, sorry. I do own my characters, Dearheart aka Heart and Alice Clark. Heart is the daughter and Alice is the mother, just to keep it straight. And I do own John, the father but he doesn't last long.

It had been two weeks since the virus broke out and on their street, it was completely silent. Not a soul was outside unless you counted the occasional walker and those only came like one or two at a time. But of course, today proved to be a hell of a day.

CRASH!

"Mom, come on!"

Heart and her mom Alice were being bum rushed out of their house by walkers. Her father John came out with them but used his wife as a human shield to a walker. And trust me, when the green eyed mulatto turned and saw that. She saw nothing but red as she grabbed her metal bat.

With one swing from behind her dad, she knocked out his bad knee causing him to yell in pain and fall to the ground holding it as Heart grabbed her mother and nudged her towards the van. Crouching down by her groaning sperm donor, she kept the bat on his chest holding him down. Walkers were coming up the street and out of the house.

"Feel like being dinner, daddy?" She asked in a sickly sweet voice, glaring down at him getting a fearful look back.

"Boo-boo, please. I'll be better, my medi-" John was cut off by a slap to his face.

"Don't blame the pills, you haven't been taking them because you fucking enjoy making mom and I suffer. We're both tired of your shit so, consider this moment to be your divorce papers. Have fun in hell, asshole." Heart told her father before getting up only to go back down again. He had grabbed her ankles and pulled her back down. He couldn't get back up behind after the swing to the knee, that leg felt numb.

"You little red bitch, I take care of you and this is the fucking thanks I get?!"

After struggling to get both or one of her feet loose, she succeed and kicked in his face to hear a crack telling her that she had broke his nose causing him to let go of her. Jumping up to her feet, Heart screamed at him.

"No, mom took care of me! You were always working and never home." Tears streamed from her cheeks now.

"For all I know, you were just the boyfriend who visited on the weekends." With both hands on her bat, she put it down on the good knee a coupe times before the bad one again until they were bloody. The walkers were right up on them as she backed away.

"Eat away, mother fuckers." She hissed before running back towards the running van and into the driver's seat.

"What are you waiting for?" Alice asked since they hadn't moved yet.

"Don't you want to hear the first scream? After everything that he's put us through with his cursing both of us out, punching the walls and a few times almost hitting you. I want to hear him in pain" And just as she said those words, the years of her praying for him to suffer had finally came true because their street was no longer silent.

With a smile, Heart drove off like a bat out of hell to get out of their little suburb leaving her bastard of a father to be ripped apart by walkers.

Yes, I know it was short but since I only started watching The Walking Dead this past sunday,

I'm going to watch it from the very beginning when the black and white episodes come on tomorrow night.

But, I had to get started on this because really.. Shane needs love too! And I loved Lori sometimes but really,

I think Shane needs someone strong. Bare in mind, I haven't watched the whole series so I'm just going by my own opnion.

And I apologize to anyone who was offended by the word Mulatto but I refer myself like that because I'm proud of everything that I am and I don't find it offensive but I'm sure some people do. So, I'm sorry. Plus before people go off saying that I made John into unrealstic character but I'm only based him off my dad and the way he acts sometimes.

When you imagine Dearheart know that she looks like Jurnee Smollet with green eyes. (I love her and cannot wait for her new movie, Temptation!)

As for Alice, think of Vanessa Williams.

Anyway, I hope you like this chapter and will walk with me through out the rest of Heart's life. And please, review, review, REVIEW!
