The next morning during breakfast I sat between Daryl and Sophia while casually eating my breakfast before I noticed a very nervous Glenn stand to address the group. He turned to face the house where Maggie was standing and shaking her head at I before turning back to the group. "There are walkers in the barn," I froze before following everyone as they rushed to the barn. Shane walked to the door and peaked inside. He walked back and telling by the loud moaning coming from the barn there were definitely a lot of walkers inside. "We can't stay here anymore!" Shane yelled
"We can't just leave either we have food here, water and safety,"
"You call this safe!" Andrea said interrupting Lori. Shane seemed to go ballistic "we either have to leave or we clear this barn out!"
"We can't do that this is not our land," Rick stated giving Shane a firm look. "Then we should head to Fort Benning like I said-"
"We can't do that Rick told him
"Then we have no other alternative-"
"And who died and made you king," I snapped causing him to glare at me before getting up in my face
"Listen here kid-"
"Get the hell away from her!" Daryl yelled shoving him away. Shane shoved him back causing them both to get into some sort of brawl. Everyone rushed to separate them. "Hershel thinks those people are sick," Dale said causing everyone to look at him. Shane looked at him "they aren't sick there dead!" Shane yelled
"But he doesn't know that," Dale said. We all stood there arguing until Rick quieted us all down "look I'll go talk with him see if I can reason with him but until then I want everyone to stay away from the barn," he said. Everyone argued for a little bit before we all went our separate ways. I felt someone grab my arm and looked to see it was Daryl "you okay kid?" he asked. I nodded "yeah this isn't the first time he's done something like that," I said motioning to my red cheek. His eyes narrowed on the mark "I'm gonna kill him," he snarled about to walk off probably to find Shane and beat his ass but as amusing as that would be I knew Daryl had better things to do "don't waste your time on that douche," he still looked a bit angry "alright but if he does it again come get me an I'll stomp his ass," he said before walking off. I walked over to Carl and Sophia "so you too still want to know how to kill walkers?" I asked causing them to grin. I lead them to the back of the house and set up a small target before turning to them "Sophia do you still have that knife I gave you?" I asked. She nodded before lifting her shirt and grabbing it "right here,"
"Good because you're going to need it," Carl seemed to almost pout
"What about me I don't have a knife," I smiled at him before holding out my knife to him
"Here you can use mine for now," I said. He hesitantly grabbed the knife. I turned to face the target "alright now I want you to try and throw the knife at the target pretend it's a walkers head if it helps but try and hit the centre," I told them before going through my bag "first one to hit the bullseye gets this," I said holding up a Twinkie. They both gazed hungrily at the delicious Twinkie before narrowing their eyes at each other competitively. They both threw the knife and they both missed causing them to pout. They tried a couple more times before growing frustrated "ugh this isn't working!" Sophia cried falling to the ground. I smiled at them "because you're doing it wrong," I said "you see aiming a knife to throw is a whole lot different than shooting a target try using one of your hands to guide your aim for now," I told them. They did exactly that and hit the bullseye. They both cheered as I split it in half before handing each half to them and walked over to grab the knives. I felt someone tap my shoulder "here," Carl said shyly handing me half of his piece of the Twinkie. I smiled and thanked him causing him to walk off blushing leaving me very confused. I was about to ask a smirking Sophia what that was about before I heard commotion up at the house "What the hell you think you're doing!" I heard Shane yell. Sophia and I shared a look before running off in the direction of the yelling. When we arrived we Shane shooting a female walker in the chest while yelling at Hershel "end this Shane!" Rick yelled holding another walker on a pole. Shane nodded "Your right lets end this right now," he muttered shooting it in the head. Hershel fell to his knees as Shane ran to the barn doors. My eyes widened in horror. He was trying to open the doors and let the walkers through. I was about to rush forward and stop him but felt Carol grab my shoulder gently and shake her head. I turned back and saw that Shane had successfully opened the doors pulling his gun as walkers pooled out of the barn. I handed Sophia her knife and we held them up ready to defend ourselves if any of the walkers got past the adults who were shooting them. I walked over to the walker Rick was holding and stabbed it in the head relieving him of it. I listened to the Greens family cry as we basically murdered there family for the second time. When they were all dead Shane looked down seeming to realize what he's done until we heard groaning. We immediately got ready to attack it sounded like it was only one walker and would be a piece of cake to deal with. I felt my eyes widen as I recognised the crooked glasses and baggy old T shirt. "Please no," I whimpered walking towards the walker causing everyone to lower their weapons "what's wrong Adrian who is that?" I barely heard Rick ask. "It's her older brother Nick," Sophia said giving me a sad look. No that couldn't be possible my brother my brother….. "NICK! NO! NO PLEASE NOT HIM!" I sobbed running towards him until I felt someone grab me. I collapsed in their arms and sobbed violently at the sight of my brother. My dead brother. I looked up through my teary eyes and noticed it was Daryl holding me and attempting to shoosh me but I could barely here him over my loud sobbing and screaming for my brother. "I loved him so much!" I sobbed into Daryl's arms "how can he be dead?"
"Adrian I'm so sorry," I heard Sophia whisper from beside me. I sobbed harder when I noticed Rick put the gun to his head. Daryl covered my eyes as a loud gun shot went off. Everyone gave me sympathetic looks even Shane but I could barely breathe. It felt like I was breathing out of a thin tube. I knew I was having an asthma attack and I honestly welcomed it because I knew then I would be with my big brother again. "What the hell's wrong with her!" I faintly heard Daryl yell
"its her asthma,"
"Quickly get her inhaler," voices so many voices but I could barely hear them. Was I dying? I felt something plastic between my lips and I could suddenly breathe again but I still couldn't feel anything. It was like I had gone completely numb. I felt my legs be lifted off the ground and I noticed Daryl was carrying me to the rv but I didn't care. Because my brother was dead all this time.
