Note: I do not own the Walking Dead. If I did I would be rich and probably not writing this.
Seth awoke the next morning to the sounds of screaming. He threw on his clothes and grabbed his pistol running out of the tent. By the time he exited the tent he realized the threat had been taken care of. He saw Andrea and Amy walking back from somewhere in the woods.
"What happened?" Seth asked them, clicking his safety back on and shoving his pistol in the back of his jeans.
"There was a walker in the woods. They took care of it." Amy replied
"Yea, and Daryl's back." Andrea added rolling her eyes slightly.
Seth looked towards the woods seeing a young guy, probably pretty close to Seth's age, come out of the woods. Seth figured this must be Daryl. "Merle!" Daryl called out towards the RV. "Merle, get your ass out here. I got us some squirrel." He called again. Seth knew as soon as he found out what happened to Merle he wouldn't be pleased.
Amy looked at Seth "This isn't gonna be good." She whispered to him.
Seth started listening just in time to hear Shane say "There was a uh….problem in Atlanta."
"He dead?" Daryl asked.
"Not sure." Shane replied.
"He either is or he ain't" Daryl said sounding angry.
"No easy way to say this so I'll just say it." Rick butted in.
At this point Seth knew it wasn't going to be good, so he went into the RV to take one of the very soothing cold showers he had heard all about from Glenn. He went into the very small bathroom in the RV and looked into the mirror. Looking back he saw himself. His face was dirty, his hair was a mess, and his beard was almost fully grown back. He stripped off his clothes and got in the shower. After about 5 minutes under the cold water, he got out not wanting to waste the water. He dryed off and put his clothes back on heading back outside hoping that the fight was over.
He stepped out hearing Shane look at Rick and say "You putting each and everyone of us at risk." Seth looked over at Amy again "Now what's going on?" Amy didn't look away from the argument "Rick wants Daryl, Glenn and I think T-dog to go with him to save Merle. Shane disagrees because he says it will leave us with less man-power." Amy replied.
Seth decided to speak up "I think I would have to agree with Shane, We already saw one walker up here."
Everyone turned and looked at Seth
"Who the hell are you? Someone else ya'll decided to save over my brother?" Daryl spoke up.
"I'm Seth…"
"I don't give a fuck." Daryl said.
Seth decided it best to keep quiet, at that point. If Daryl was this bad he hated to see what his brother was like.
Seth just listened in on the argument and let them sort it out but Seth had a bad feeling. He was going to make sure he kept his gun on him at all times.
Seth decided to go down to the lake and watch Shane teach Carl how to catch frogs. He had brought his IPod that he had found in his bag to listen to. There wasn't much else to do. After a while Lori came down and took Carl away then as he walked Lori turned and started saying something to Shane. Seth felt it best to just listen to his music but it didn't look like Lori was too happy. After she had left he walked up to Shane as he watched Lori and Carl walk away.
"Everything ok?" Seth asked. "Yea" Shane answered. They both turned to see a little incident going on between the girls who were washing clothes and Carol's husband, Ed. Then Ed hit Carol and Shane ran over to break it up with Seth close behind. Shane ran over and dragged Ed a few feet away from the women and started beating him in the face. After he hit him about 6 or 7 times, Seth felt that was enough and ran over and pulled him off. "You put your hands on your wife, your daughter, or anyone else in this camp again I swear I won't stop." Shane called out as Seth pulled him off. "You hear me?" Shane yelled, He could hear Ed let out a grunt in acknowledgement as Seth walked off with Shane.
"I think Ed needed that but, don't you think you took that a little far?" Seth asked
"I'm sorry Seth, it's just….when he hit her, I lost it. No man should treat his woman like that."
"I completely agree. It's alright. At least you didn't kill him."
"If you didn't stop me, I might have."
They arrived back at the camp. Shane went to their tent to calm down. Seth walked over to the RV where Dale was. "Hey Dale." Seth said as he climbed up the ladder to get to Dale. "I'll keep watch if you wanna take a break. I saw Jim up the hill digging holes, I was gonna ask him what he was doing but you're closer to him so figured it would be better if you did." Dale nodded and handed Seth his rifle as he climbed down. After a while he saw Dale come back, almost the exact same time as Andrea and Amy came back with a bunch of fish. Dale and a few of the campers headed up to where Jim was digging.
They all returned, Morales and Shane had a hold of Jim and then took him over to a tree and tied him up. Seth hoped the Rick and the others were having an easier time then they were. Dale climbed up and took the rifle from Seth.
"The heat must have gotten to him, he should be fine in a while." Dale said to Seth.
"Alright, I'm gonna take a nap can you wake me up when it's time for dinner?"
"Yea."
"Thanks Dale."
Seth headed to Shane and his tent. He placed his pistol on the ground next to him as he got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
Dale came and woke him up. He went over and sat by the fire with the rest of the group. Everyone was there except Ed, who Seth figured was either still recovering or pissed at the group. Dale told some story about his watch, It was a very touching story.
After a few more minutes of talking Amy got up and headed to the RV. He thought he heard her say she had to use the bathroom but he wasn't paying attention.
"We out of toilet paper?" She yelled to the group. Seth turned and saw a walker about a foot to her right. He jumped up, pulled his pistol out and fired a bullet right into the back of the zombies head just before it bit her. Everyone in the camp jumped up he heard a combination of screaming, moaning and Shane and Dale's guns as he ran over and grabbed Amy pushing her into the RV. Seth spun around and a zombie grabbed him and he fell down with the zombie on top of him. His pistol slid a few feet away from him. Seth jabbed his forearm into the zombie neck keeping it away as it tried to bite him. Andrea fired her gun hitting it in the head.
Seth jumped up finding his pistol. There was chaos going on as Shane tried to gather everyone around him for safety. He then heard more gunshots and saw that Rick and the others returned. After a few minutes, everything was calm again. Amy came out and both her and Andrea ran and hugged Seth but all Seth could do was stare out at what had once been their camp. It was now covered with the dead bodies of both campers and walkers.
