CHAPTER 37: WITH SHANE N RICK IN THE WOODS
"I'll go with you guys", I tell Rick and Shane. I don't trust Shane alone with Rick. I've seen him around Rick's wife and I don't like it one bit.
Shane clearly doesn't want me to go with them. I can see it in the clenching of his fists and his narrow gaze.
Forget him, I'm still going.
In the woods Glenn and Daryl split off from our group.
Shane takes us to a clearing. Something's not right about this. I can taste it in the air.
He turns around and shoots me.
I fall over backward thinking Oh god, I'm dead! I'm so dead! I black out and when I wake up I don't feel any pain. Am I dead? No, I'm not. I can see the sky above me. I can feel the grass beneath me. Shoving down the panic in my throat I try to find the pain.
There is none. He missed!
It's almost shocking because Shane is such a good shot.
I can hear sign of a struggle then a cry of pain. I shoot up.
Shane has a knife sticking out from the front of his chest.
He looks at Rick in pain and falls over dead.
My hands shake as I get up and walk over to Rick and place my hand on his shoulder.
After what must have been ten minutes I hear a small gasp behind me.
Carl!
He stares at Rick in horror as Rick tries to explain walking slowly forward. Carl pulls out his gun. Would he really shoot his dad? I don't understand until I feel it.
There's a Walker behind me! He's chewing on my neck. I scream and flail out. Carl shoots Shane.
Shane the Walker.
I fall down and whimper my hand against my neck.
Blurs of Carl and Rick stand over me. I don't hear them talking.
I don't hear anything.
Then I see the gun pointing to my forehead.
