Light. The first thing I had seen when I woke up was bright lights. The windows were open allowing the sweet fall scent ventilate throughout the house. I did a couple twist and turns trying to go back to sleep, but it was to late for that. Looking out into the direction of the door I had notice someone had been sitting in the arm chair next to me. Maggie.

Why was Maggie watching me sleep? Where was Glenn?

"Good Morning sunshine." Maggie said walking towards me. Maggie had already been dressed in her outfit for the day, telling me I had been asleep for sometime. She had concern written all over her face; nothing was adding up.

"Maggie, where is Glenn."

"He and Rick went to go retrieve Herschel." I was filled with disappointment, which Maggie clearly read.

"I know, trust me, I didn't want him to go either, but Glenn is brave and strong. He will be back by supper."

I started to sniffle at this news. Maggie then wrapped her arms around me and embraced me in a hug.

"Now come on I made breakfast." Even though it took a whole day.

Before I even knew it; Glenn was back. Though chaos had erupted with Lori leaving, it wasn't that bad without Glenn. Maggie carried me in her arms and ran towards Glenn, not Herschel. I then left Maggie's arms and latched my arms around Glenn's neck.

"Hey bud, sorry I left without telling you." He said. I analyzed Glenn's face to check if any sympathy was there, and there was.

"It's alright, Maggie kept me company."

Glenn then was hugged by Maggie, but quickly denied it. Glenn clearly seemed distressed by his body language.

"What's wrong Glenn." I asked.

"Err... Nothing." He seemed like he was going to say something, but couldn't say the words. We walked inside to the house being trailed by Maggie

"Why don't you go upstairs and go find something to do." He said as he put me down.

This was easy for me. As a six year old boy my mind was filled with curiosity. I walked up the stairs and found myself accompanied by Carl.

"Guess what?" He said with excitement. I found a place to set my back against and sat down.

"What?" I asked

"I'm going to be big brother!"

"Woah. That's so cool. Is it going to be a boy or girl." I asked not knowing that was yet to be determined.

"Uh... We don't know yet."

"Let's go do something." He said.

"Well I can't, Glenn said I could only leave with him after what happened." I said with saddened look.

"Well that sucks, maybe I'll get you something I find from outside."

"Yeah, that'd would be cool!"

Well, see you around John."

"See ya Carl." I pondered for a while over the fact I was completely oblivious to what was happening down stairs. I could only hear bits and pieces.

"And I froze..."

"It's because what you said..." Wait, did Maggie say something mean?

"A bullet hit the wall behind me..."

"I hid to stay alive..." These words started to make me cry. I sprawled out across the floor and started to quietly cry with a sniffle here and there.

"I only thought of myself..." The words stopped there. The conversation had ended with what sounded like Glenn leaving. I wanted to go after him, but I let him have his space. I quickly grabbed a hold of myself and stopped crying. I sat against the wall for about the next half hour. Then Herschel came in assuming he came to check on Beth. Who was followed by Maggie, who wouldn't look at me. Maggie was in there for bit, she left after she started crying and yelling at her dad. Eventually Herschel would leave to God knows where and I would see the return of Maggie only this time she came by and got to my height. She started stroking my hair while giving me a sympathetic smile. When she walked into Beth's room all I could hear was cries and yells.

Then Andrea walked in to solve the problem. I seen Andrea exit allowing Beth to be alone. A few minutes had passed, and I heard something break.

"Beth are you alright?"

No response.

"Maggie! What's Beth doing." I heard lighting footsteps walk up the stairs in fear.

"Oh my God."Maggie ran into Beth's room and walked up to the Bathroom door. I got up to see what was happening.

"Beth!" Maggie then knocked a couple times.

"Beth!"

Lori then walked in.

"Is everything alright?" She asked

"Beth is in there, John heard something break."

Lori then joined in effort to save Beth.

"Where is the key." Lori asked.

"I don't know." Maggie responded.

"John start looking for the key." Lori yelled. I looked under the bed, through the drawers, and BINGO! The key was inside a box in the closet.

"I found a key." I yelled giving the key to Lori.

"That might be it." Maggie said in relief.

Lori put the key in the hole and turned it unlocking the door. Turning the knob availed a crying Beth.

"I'm sorry." She said while crying. The sight made me feel sick. Never had I ever seen such a mess on a human being. I never got to see such a horrible thing before till now. I felt my body go white. I felt like all circulation in my body had ceased. I walked down stairs and laid on the couch due to the sick feeling inside me.

I was woken up by the gentle feeling of one's hand on my shoulder. I slowly open my eyes to reveal Maggie.

"You need to get up hun'. We're going to have a meeting in here."

"But I don't feel good, I just want to sleep." I confuted.

"Alright, I let you sleep in my bed."

I was picked up and carried up the stairs into Maggie's room for the time being. She gently placed me in her bed in the most comfortable way possible.

"I'll wake you when we're done."

By then I had already been asleep. It wasn't until night when I was woken up. I realized I hadn't been woken up by anyone, but by screeching screams. This made me hop out of bed and head to where they came from. I had to make sure everyone was okay. It was a bit hard to find where everyone was, but I found them eventually. I seen everyone gathering around something, but I couldn't quite make out what it was. I inched a closer to find it was Dale. Dale had his whole stomach area bitten. I found the scene disturbing. Glenn had found me and tried to shield me, but I resisted.

"No, I can't I have to watch, I have to sometime."

Rick couldn't do the job, so Daryl stepped in and offered to do it. The sight was painful, but it was over now. Thankfully. The cause of all this was said to have been caused by that new stranger. But how could he do such a thing?
