June 3rd 2013

Glenn, T-dog, Merle, as well as a few others watched outside the window as a large number of walkers surrounded a tank.
"Glenn do you think its such a good idea to try and get them?" Andrea asks her Asian friend.
"Well we cant just leave then there to die." Glenn responded.
"Hell, they ain't are responsibility." Merle scoffed crossing his arms.
"No, but it would be wrong to leave em'." T-dog said.

Glenn did as he promised, he helped Rick and Claire get out of the tank and into the department store where they all happened to be. A small introduction was given before getting back to business.
"Great now we got them can we please figure out how the hell we are getting out now?" Andrea asked a little annoyed. Claire got out her camera and and filmed them all.
"What are you doing?" Glenn asked Claire.
Claire looked up from her camera to Glenn. "Filming you all, I film what I believe to be important events during this time of chaos. Meeting a group of strangers willing to help people they don't know and putting them selves at risk seemed like an important event wouldn't you agree?"
Glenn look at Rick with an eyebrow raised. Rick simply shrugged.
"I just go with it."

Back at the camp Shane watched over as Lori and Carl conversed. Lori was always a little tense, but after everything that's happened that would be an understatement. Shane knows she is only looking out for her son and wants him to be safe, but he was still just a boy and needed to be able to do things without being scolded all the time. Shane sighed, knowing however that that would never really happen and he understood why. If something were to ever happen to Carl or even Lori, Shane would never forgive himself. Those two had been part of his family for a long time, and he needed them now more than ever, and they needed him. There were moments when Shane would feel a pang of guilt, guilt over forming a relationship with his best friend's, no, his brother's wife. Shane had never thought about Lori in a romantic way when Rick was alive and well. Sure he believed her to be a great woman and mother, she was attractive, but no thoughts that would be counted for as inappropriate.
Then Rick got shot. Shane was there to help Lori and Carl through it, and then the outbreak, He was there for them then as well. At first it had been an act that he thought was for Rick, but as time passed Shane began to see the selfishness behind his actions. Everyday the guilt became a little less. Widows move on all the time. Just not usually with their husbands best friends. He could tell Lori sometimes felt guilty too. He could tell by the way she looked at him, that she sometimes wished it were Rick who was looking back at her. Shane remembered when Rick first got shot how Lori cried, telling him how she thought it was her punishment for being so cold to him the past few weeks. How all the pointless fights and harsh words stung in her mind, and how she wished she could just take it all back. Shane shook his head and walked away from the tree he was leaning against to go bother with other things. Though he could not see it, Shane could feel Lori watching him as he walked away.

"You cant do this!" Merle shouted, his voice filled with both anger and distress. He yanked on the handcuff keeping him on the roof. Claire frowned, she didnt care much for Merle's mouth, but the idea of leaving him on the rood while they made their escape didnt sit right with her. She walked over to Merle calmly.
"Hey, um just in case, can I have your wallet?" Merle looked at the girl as if she was a moron.
"The fuck if you can 'ave my wallet girly! I don' even fuckin' carry a god damn wallet anymore, but even if I did, the fuck makes you think I would give it to you? Your leavin' me on a roof to die!" Claire frowned some more as she walked off to the rest of the group.
"I locked the door, this way those walkers cant get in." T-dog said. Rick nodded.
" I will come back for him, but right now we need to get everyone to safety, if the doors are locked shut he is going to be just fine."
Everyone felt a bit indifferent leaving Merle there, but agreed it was their only option for now.

When everyone was gone Merle cried out in anger. "How dare those fuckers leave me here! The hell with em'!"
The sun was hot as Merle looked to the sky.
"Come on now! Help me out!" When nothing seemed to happen as Merle semi-prayed to God, anger once again took over. "Well fuck you too then!" Merle looked around to the tools laying on the ground, nothing of real use, except for maybe the saw. After lots of stretching and sweat Merle was able to obtain the saw. Merle quickly began to try and saw the handcuffs off with no luck. He looked at the saw and the his wrist.
"You've got t'a be shttin' me." Merle thought of his options and swore once more as he prepared to cut his hand off.
"This, is goin' to suck ass." That of course was an understatement.

Claire felt the cars come to a stop, ahead was a small camp. Getting out of the car Claire stood next to Rick who patted her back.
"Welcome guys." Glenn said with a small smile. Rick nodded as he and the rest of the group were greeted by others. A man they meet named Dan was greeted by his wife Lisa, Andrea by her sister Amy. It was a shocking moment of surprise and joy that rang through Ricks heart.
"Dad?!" the voice of Carl rang out. A sound that Rick had missed so very much.
"Rick!?" Another voice, the voice of his wife Lori. Rick was greeted with bear hugs and tears of joy from his wife and son. Claire smiled softly at the picture and pulled out her camera.
"Holy shit." A male voice said grabbing bother Claire and Ricks attention.
"Shane."
"Rick."
The man now known to Claire as Shane made his way over to Rick, Lori and Carl.
"Come here brother!" Shane said bringing Rick in for a hug.

"Fuck." Merle said. His wrist hurting like hell as he stumbled through a building. He had just closed his wound the only way he could, by pressing it against a hot plate. It burned and throbbed like crazy. The loss of Blood making Merle a tad dizzy.
'Wouldnt it have been easier to simply break your thumb?' A voice called. One Merle knew all to well. He looked down at his hand, the idea of breaking his thumb had passed his mind.
"Ya', guess it would 'ave, had the damn cuff not been on so fuckin' tight." His body turned to face the voice, just as he suspected, she was there.
'Unfortunate.' Was all she said. Merle gave a scoff.
"Why you here huh? Not for me, I sure as hell didnt call you here." The woman simply smiled.
'No, not really, but your song is full of doubt.'
'My song ain't full of shit! I ain't ready so you arn't takin' me!" Merle turned away from the woman and continued out the building, avoiding walkers he made his way to the woods in a huff. The woman simply followed him not far behind.
The further Merle seemed to go however, the more dizzy he got, it wasn't long before he fell to the ground.
'Are you sure Merle, are you positive?' The woman asked looking down at him.
Even on the ground, breathing heavily from exhaustion, Merle nodded his head.
"I'm fuckin sure, I still got shit to do." The woman smirked.
'Good.' And like always, in a blink, she was gone.
"Well who do we have here?" A male voice said. Merle couldn't answer as he passed out.

"You left my brother on a roof!?" Daryl Dixon shouted at Rick.
"He was a danger o us all, but Im going back for him. We locked the door so he would be okay." Daryl just shook his head.
"Just tell me where he is so I ca go get him."
From a far Claire watched the scene unfold. She felt bad for the younger brother of Merle, having to come back to find out your brother is handcuffed and defenseless on some roof has got to be had to take.
"Do you have any family members your looking for?" A older man named Dale asked her. Claire shook her head.
"No, my family didnt make it very far in this world." Dale frowned.
"Were you with a group before Rick?" Claire shrugged.
"Not really, I mean, on rare ocations I would meet small groups, mostly families, but that never lasted long, if it wasnt one thing it was another. I had been on my own for about a month until now. Rick was alone and said I could come along with him on his Journey if I wanted. I have to say I am extreamly surprised he found his family so quickly let alone at all. Im happy, but surprised. Small world I guess." Dale nodded.
"I suppose its simply proof that miracles can most certainly happen. For where there is great love, there are always miracles."

May 24th 2015

"Ready for some more home movies?" Steve asked Tom. Tom simply sipped his coffee and nodded. Plugging in the camera into a computer, the two men watched.

The camera was pointed at the sky, which was blue and held large fluffy cloud. The camera seemed to watch the wind push the clouds into different shapes and formations.
"Do you hear that?" Claire's voice spoke.
"Hear what?" Another voice said, a male voice.
"Exactly, its so quiet Rick."
The camera moved to look at the man called Rick who unlike Claire, was in the sitting position.
"Its nice." Rick finally spoke. "I just wonder how long it will last."
"Me too." Claire said. "I wonder if this is what death is like."
"What?" Ricked asked confused.
Claire laughed a small laugh. "Given the idea that we arn't all trapped inside ourselves as walkers, death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace." The camera moved back to the sky.
"I would like to think it is, but I would also like to believe we see the ones we've lost too, to know they are okay nad at peace as well." Rick replied.
"Yeah, " Claire said. "That sounds nice."
A few more seconds of Sky is shown before the camera tuns off.

"Do you think we will find these people Steve?" Tom asked. Steve shrugged.
"I dont know, but its been put out to the comunites to look for a woman named Claire, and put out the fact that her missing camera has been found. If she never shows up the camera, along with its contents go to the room for all to see."
