Disclaimer: I do not own The Walking Dead, nor the storylines. And of course, I don't make any money out of this (although I really wish I did). I will be following very closely the storylines from the first 4 seasons (with some modifications, of course).
I do, however, own Becca, Ben and Mike.
Chapter four
Becca sighed as she paced again on the RV. Since she had gone in the woods with Daryl two days ago, Shane had been up her ass and ordering her around endlessly. He had placed her on watch today, stating that she needed to step up, and help people. As if babysitting Lori's son while you fucked her wasn't helping out.
She sighed, sitting down once again. She looked down at Daryl's tent and saw him leave. He looked up at her, nodding. She nodded back and he walked up to her.
"I'm goin' huntin' for a few days." He told her.
"Alright" she replied. He turned around to leave. He only took a few steps before she called out. "Be safe".
He turned around to look at her. He nodded before turning around again, heading towards the forest.
She returned her attention to the camp. She watched as Ben played a game with his mother, Sophia and Carol.
She saw Carl and Shane talking, and a few feet away, Miranda giving a haircut to Louis. She then saw her father walk up to the RV. He climbed up the ladder, and sat next to Becca.
"You know… I didn't want you to be punished because you were with Daryl." He said after a few minutes.
"I know… Shane is just on a power trip at the moment. Lori must not be giving him sex or something" she said. Dale looked her at her. "Oh come on Dad! Everyone knows they are screwing around". He smiled.
"You better watch your language young lady" he said before he laughed. Becca joined her father.
"In all honesty… I'd rather you be with Daryl then Shane" he said after a few minutes of silence. Becca looked at him, surprised by his revelation.
"It's true. He knows how to provide. Shane is only good at giving directions." Becca smiled. "How did you meet them?" he asked, referring to the Dixon brothers.
"They were Mike's friends. They were actually over when it started. If it wasn't for Daryl, I might actually be dead myself." She said truthfully, recalling the events.
"I'm glad you're here with me." He said before patting her shoulder and getting up. "When you get tired, let me know. I'll come up here for a bit" he said before going down the ladder. A few minutes later, Amy walked up the ladder.
"So… any good stories to tell me?" she asked as she sat down.
"Sorry I don't… do you?"
"Nah… not really" she said. They looked around for a few minutes before talking again.
"Where's Daryl?" Amy asked.
"Gone hunting for a few days" Becca answered.
"Oh… you won't see lover boy for a few days" Amy said while pretending to wipe a tear away from her eyes. Becca smiled and swatted her arm. "Will you stop it?"
"Nope… you know I'm liking this way too much" she answered with a smirk. A few more minutes went by before Carol called her down. Becca waved goodbye to Amy and looked around once more.
A few hours later, Becca paced the RV again, waiting for something to happen. She only wanted a little bit of entertainment.
She stopped in her tracks when she heard the crackle from the radio below her. She looked at her dad, who had also noticed it and was making his way to it.
"Hello? Hello. Can anybody hear my voice." The garbled voice came through. Amy ran to the radio, dropping the branches that she was carrying.
"Hey, hello?" she said in the receiver.
"Can you hear my voice?"
"Yes, I can hear you, you're coming through. Over"
"Anybody who hears, please respond" Amy looked at Dale. "Broadcasting on emergency channel. Will be approaching Atlanta on Highway 85. If anybody reads, please respond." By this time, many from the camp were surrounding the radio, including Becca who had come down from the RV.
"We're just outside the city" Amy said before the static came through again. "Dammit! Hello? Hello?" She turned to Dale. "He couldn't hear me… I couldn't warn him."
"Try to reach him again." Dale said to Amy before turning to Shane. "Come on son, you know best how to work this thing" Shane took the receiver from Amy.
"Hello, hello. Is the person calling still on the air?" Shane said as Amy stood up and went next to Becca.
"This is Officer Shane Walsh, broadcasting to person unknown, please respond" A few seconds went by before he said "He's gone".
"There are others… it's not just us" Lori said.
"I figured there would… this is why we left the CB on?" He replied.
"A lot of good it's been doing. I've been saying for a week that we should put signs on 85 and warn people away from the city."
"Folks got no idea what they're getting into" Amy said.
"Well… we haven't had time" Shane said, getting up. Becca noticed he was getting pissed.
"I think we need to make time" Lori said after a few seconds.
"Huh…" Shane rubbed his stubble "That's a luxury we can't afford. We are surviving here."
Becca looked at her father as he spoke up "Well who the hell do you propose we send"
"I'll go." Becca and Lori said. "Just give me a vehicle" Lori continued.
"Nobody goes anywhere alone, and you know that Lori. Becca, you're on watch" Lori muttered a "Yes sir" and went towards the tents. Carl followed his mom.
"Hey, hey, hey… go and see Becca. Ok bud?" Shane said before turning around to follow Lori. Becca reached out to Carl and put a hand on his shoulder as they both watched Shane follow Lori in the tent.
"Hey… didn't you want to show me something earlier?" Becca asked Carl. He brightened up and he took her hand to show her what he had found earlier.
Let me know what you think!
