"What the fu-"

Ed sprang to his feet, frantically fumbling for his gun. Diana clumsily grabbed a flashlight from her bag and turned it on, flashing it around to try to find where they were.

"Ed! Diana! Help!" Elizabeth screeched.

Diana threw Ed the flashlight. He caught it in mid stride.

Ed stumbled around the fire and raced to the source of the voice.

"Elizabeth!" He called, panicked. Where the fuck were they"

Suddenly, he burst out of the trees a distance down the road. And he saw what was going on.

Elizabeth was pinned underneath one walker, whilst nearby, a very bloody Tess was fighting off three others with the blood coated handle of her pistol, which Ed immediatly assumed had run out of ammo.

Ed made a break for Elizabeth, pulling his gun out. But something grabbed his ankle out of the blue and pulled him down. His gun was knocked out of his hand and was sent flying across the ground a couple feet away. He couldn't reach it.

A walker had grabbed hold of his leg, and was vigorously trying to put Eds leg into its waiting mouth. Jaws wide and snapping.

But, Ed was pretty pissed off.

he turned, and started kicking the walker with his free foot. He nailed it directly in the face each time, and eventually he heard a crack. The walker stopped struggling. When Ed moved his leg to see what he had done better, you couldn't even tell it was a face. His boot prints were literally imprinted in its skull. Or skin. Fuck, he didn't know. Panting, Ed pulled the hand off his ankle.

Diana arrived shortly behind him, breathing hard. She took one look at the situation, aimed her pistol, and fired three shots. The first two were on their mark, but in the third attempt, the gun clicked. No bullet, no shot. The final walker was killed by Tess herself.

Tess turned to look at her daughter.

She screamed.

"Elizabeth!"

Ed turned to see that they were to late.

As all three pairs of eyes landed on her small form, the walker plunged it's teeth into her shoulder. Tearing a chunk out. Elizabeth screamed in pain. Unable to free herself. Blood spurted from her wound and splattered on her pink shirt. Coating it Crimson. Then, the walker stuck it's hands in her stomach, tearing open a large gash on her left side. Her intestines were visible.

"Elizabeth, No no no Nonononno! Not again! Get the FUCK OFF HER YOU SONUVABITCH!"

As Ed desperately ran to get his gun, still trying to help, Diana was taken aback by what Tess did next.

Racing forward, Tess full on body-slammed the walker off her daughter. The walker made a brief groaning sound, before Tess flipped it over and brought her pistol down to its face. Where she began savagely beating its face in. Blood welled around the growing indent in its forehead, the brain became visible at one point, but it was soon mixed in with the blood, skin, and gore. She continued to beat it even after it had stopped moving. Crying out each and every time a satisfying crushing sound was made.

Diana raced to Elizabeths injured form, whilst Ed attempted to help Tess.

Ed ran up to her side and tried to calm her down. Bear-hugging her so that she couldn't hit it anymore. He pulled her away from it and held her still. She struggled, trying to free herself so she contine beating the monster.

"Tess! Stop! Stop! It's dead!" Ed yelled, over her thrashing. But she didn't stop.

finally, though, after at least a minute of fighting him, she succumbed in went limp in Eds arms. He released her, and she crawled weakly to her dying daughters side. Diana moved aside and gave them some space.

Elizabeth had her hand pressed against her bleeding wound, and she was staring at the sky eyes glazed with pain and seemingly sightless. But she was still breathing. Though her breathes were less frequent and very short.

"M-mommy..." She begged, turning her head to aimlessly are into her mother tear-filled eyes.

Tess shook her head in disbelief.

"it's okay, honey... Were gonna get you out of here. Just ... Please just stay with me." Tess pleaded,

Elizabeth choked on her blood. Coughing some up.

"No..." Elizabeth breathed. Words were difficult.

Tess tried to put her hands underneath Elizabehs shaking frame.

"here, here, I'll pick you up, honey!"

Elizabeth screamed in pain at her touch.

tess looked horrified.

Diana and Ed watched helplessly as the young girl shook in her mother arms.

"N-no... This can't be it... I won't... I can't let you die..." Tess cried.

Elizabeth faintly lifted her good arm, which was covering her stomach, and reached out to touch her mothers face.

"Mommy... I... I see him. I'm going to see him again."

Tess looked confused through her tears.

"...who?"

Elizabeth coughed again, and smiled.

"Adam. He's waiting for me, isn't he? I... I get to see h-him again."

Tess sobbed.

She wiped a tear from Elizabeths eye. Trying not to break down.

"y-yes... You are, my... My s-sweet Lizzy." She whispered.

the light was beginning to fade from Elizabeths blue eyes.

"I'll say... Hi." Elizabeth grinned. "For you. Because... I love you."

Tess opened her mouth to say something, but Elizabeth was already gone.

Tess shook in sadness, holding the limp body off all she had left. What she was living for.

she held her dead daughter.

Diana herself was breaking down in tears. Thinking of Elizabeth, and Clementine.

"I love you to..." Tee whispered.

silence followed.

Diana slowly approached Tess, her arm extended to touch her shoulder.

"Tess..."

diana flinched as she saw Tess reach for her pistol. Tension in her shoulders.

she aimed it at her daughters head, and pulled the trigger.

elizabeth wasn't coming back.

but she didn't put the gun down.

Tess, still shaking, slowly climbed to her feet. Holding the gun tight till her knuckles turned white.

she turned towards Ed and Diana again. Aiming the pistol carelessly close to their proximity.

Ed pulled his wife back behind him.

"Tess... I want you to think about this." Ed said slow, trying to keep her calm.

Tess looked at her hand, which held the gun.

"Think about it? Are you... Fucking with me?" Tess asked, slighty delirious. "You seriously think Im going to shoot you?"

Ed narrowed his eyes.

Tess tapped the gun on her palm.

"...even though we both know you could've saved my daughter."

Ed breathed in.

Tess slowly raised the gun.

"It's all your fault."

Ed didn't have a chance to react. He simply turned to shield his wife, waiting for the worst.

No gunshot was fired.

Ed slowly looked over his shoulder to see Tess put the barrel of the gun to her own head.

"but... I'm not my husband."

"Tess! No!"

"I'm coming, Lizzy and Adam."

BAM!

The gunshot rang out miles around. Tess fell limp to the ground, near her daughter.

"Fuck!"

A very, very horrified and sickened Diana turned and puked.

The two turned away, struggling to recuperate after what they just witnessed.

After a moment, Diana straightened her back and turned to face the two victims. Wiping her mouth.

She saw Ed pulling Tess and Elizabeths bodies to the very edge of the road.

"...Ed..."

Ed pulled Elizabeth over next to Tess's side, before pulling Tess's arm and setting it on Elzabeths hand. He made them face each other, so they would always be together.

He closed their eyelids.

"Ed..."

Ed began walking down the road, away from the scene.

he paused momentarily to look back at Diana, barely making eye contact over his shoulder.

"Let's go." He said.
