The Dead are Walking
chapter 11: A win for the walkers
Hey peeps. Thanks for the reviews and the support and thanks for the people who read it, but don't review it. I'm so happy the Walking Dead is back on, how about Sunday's episode. WOW is all I can say. I didn't expect that ending. Can't wait till Sunday, I'm sure you can't.
Cold. I felt cold, like I just had water dumped on me. My eyes shot open and I began wiping my face and spiting out water. I guess I did have water dumped on me.
"What...the..hell," I said trying to breath. "What is wrong with you."
"No, what's wrong with you," said Shane. "Amy, here found you passed out. You wouldn't wake up."
"So you throw water at my face." My face stung and it was cold. I don't like that combination.
"I tried slapping you awake, but it didn't work," said Amy.
"Gee, thanks. Ow, my head hurts." I looked around and saw I was still in the tent. "Great, now you got my bed wet."
"It'll manage," said Shane sitting down and pressing his hand against my head. "You're not burning up. Have you been eating, sleeping, drinking water."
"Ummm, kind of."
"Blair. It's different now, in case you haven't noticed. You need to drink plenty of water and get enough to eat. Stop with the junk food already."
"Okay, okay, mom." I gave in because I didn't want to have a lecture. I get enough of that everyday. "Now come on. Dinner is ready."
"Oh, so now it's dinner. Usually its "time to eat." I got up and stumbled a little. "Who cooked the fish? If you did, Amy, then i'd think you're trying to kill us all." She gave a little giggle.
"No, and i'm not that bad of cook. Morales cook it."
"Well I hope he doesn't cook it like Andrea. Last time she cooked up a fish, it was staring at me while I was trying to it it."
"It actually looks pretty good." Amy and I walked ahead of Shane to the fire pit and took a seat. It was getting dark and it didn't look like Rick and company were back yet.
"Still not back, huh?" Amy shook her head sadly.
"But i'm sure they're on their way." Everyone was coming to sit. It was kind of nice. Reminding me of one big family. Even though it had only been a couple of weeks I became close to some of the people here. Shane came and sat next to me to make sure I was alright.
"Shane, really i'm okay. I feel fine. You don't have to baby me."
"I might have to if you're gonna be falling out." I rolled my eyes.
"This is the first time."
"If something happens to ya, then your brother will have my head."
"So you're only making sure i'm alright so you don't get into trouble with Rick? You don't want to make sure i'm okay because you want to?" He gave a long sigh. "Oh you know i'm just messing with you," I said hitting him in the arm. "Lighten up."
"Aw, you two are so cute together," said Amy. "Did you ever think about dating?" I looked at Shane to see if he heard Amy. It didn't look like he did, which was good. I gave a nervous laugh.
"Oh, no. N..never thought about it. Why'd you ask." She shrugged. Dinner went on smoothly. Everyone was laughing and eating and I didn't want anyone, or anything, to ruin it. Amy got up after Dale gave us a little story about a watch.
"Where are you going," asked Andrea.
"I have to pee. Jeez, you try to be discreet around here." I shook my head and laughed as did everyone. We went back to our own conversations with other people.
"You know I heard what Amy said earlier." I raised my eyebrows.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Shane." He was about to say something before I heard Amy come out of the RV and complained about no toilet paper. I looked over to her. As soon as I did my eyes got wide.
"Amy, look out," I shouted, but it was too late. A walker grabbed her and bit into her arm. She let out a scream. More came and we were all up on our feet. The one time I don't have my gun on me is when all the action starts to happen. Shane started popping off rounds. Everyone was scrambling like rats. I ran towards over to my tent to get my gun.
"Blair, come back," I heard Lori yell.
"Just take care of Carl," I shouted back. I ran over to my tent knocking over a walker in the process. I wasn't just gonna go hide and sit in a corner. I knew how to shoot and was going to make as many people as I could. I picked up my gun and grabbed my bag full of ammo. I took the safety off my gun and ran out the tent.
As soon as I did run out, one of the people, Claire, was getting chewed on. I popped a bullet in the walkers head and and also Claire. I felt bad for shooting someone who was a walker. But she would become and I just needed to put her out of her misery.
"Sorry, Claire," I whispered. I heard Andrea scream. She was by the RV with Amy lying on the ground. There were three walkers heading their way.
"Andrea, Amy!" I ran over to them and shot every walker coming their way.
"I don't know what to do," Andrea kept saying over and over. I didn't know what to do either, but keep on shooting.
"I'll be right back," I said running over to two walkers that were tackling a girl that never talked two. I killed all three of them. I felt someone take me down and relised it was one of them. It was clawing at me. It stunk so bad that it made me struggle even more to get it or her off of me. I was able to grab my gun and shot it in the head. It went limp and I threw it off of me.
As soon as I got up another one at me with its dirty hands. I punched it before pushing a bullet in its head. I looked around me to see bodies and bodies littering the ground and the walkers taking ripping into them. I felt sick to my stomach and my legs felt like they were going to give out.
But I couldn't let them. I wan't about to be on the dinner menu. Besides. I had to protect the people who were still alive.
"Blair," shouted Shane. "Get over here now."
"In a second," I shouted back right before I popped a few more rounds into the heads of the mindless corpses.
"No, now! Right now!" All of a sudden I start hearing more shots. Then I see Rick, Glenn, T-dog, and Daryl come out of no where. I never been so happy in my life. I reloaded my gun and started shooting more of the dead bastards. Finally they were all dead. Well, dead again. I walker over to the RV.
"Blair," said Rick engulfing me in a hug. "There you are. I..I didn't see you. I was about to panic."
"Well i'm here now. I'm not going any where. I'm just glad you're back." I gave him another hug. "You two okay," I asked Lori and Carl. They both nodded. Rick picked up Carl and and Lori put her arms around him. I went over to Shane.
"Are you okay,"I asked.
"Yeah, i'm fine. Just, when I tell you to come here, just come. Don't try and be a hero."
"Okay, tough guy." I heard sobs and looked over to Andrea and Amy. I felt tears come to my eyes. It was a sad site to see. Even trough this, I still hadn't lost anyone I truly cared about, but Andrea on the other hand just lost Amy. I didn't even know what to think. Should I be thankful or not. Now it would seem selfish to be thankful at the moment.
I looked away from Andrea and saw Daryl take an arrow out of one of the walker's head. He looked up at me and I gave him a small smile. He didn't do anything but look back down and walked away. I was glad he had came back. I wanted to go over there and give him a hug, but I know it would just be awkward. I let out a sigh and went back to watching Andrea cry over Amy's body.
