Good chapter! :) sucks for Hurley, Charlie and Shannon; at least Amy survived for now. I can't wait for next chapter. (:
Yeah will miss Hurley but we all know he was lucky to survive for as long as he did. I also made sure to show that Charlie was hurt by that loss and Shannon would have died eventually if not there so I figured why not save Amy for now.

Whoa what a chapter man sad to see Hurley go like that but like you said he was not built for this new world same with Shannon as well a big part of me thought Boone would live a little longer and hook up with Amy. Eko saved Claire as well as I thought she was going to die for a moment but sweet at least Ed is dead which is good, next the CDC.
And the Vatos couldn't handle Sawyer it seems yeah I can see why lol, I bet they all still hate him or at least not trust him, I mean this is Sawyer.
I remembered from the show that Boone had an obsession with Shannon, so why she was attacked instead of making sure he was safe I figured that he would only be concerned with her causing his own demise. Glad I also got you for a second there with Claire, and as for Ed. He was the only one I was happy to write.

well damn that was five deaths this chapter I say 5 as we know Jim will not make it that is for sure but the thing is who will be the next to go in the story well after Jim that is I think I remember that one chick who stayed to die at the CDC after that man it's season 2.
We all knew what was coming with Jim so that definitely won't surprise you this chapter. As for deaths, the only person to die after Jim in season one was Jacqui but you never know what could happen before season two of Lost and Dead. Hope you're enjoying the story.

Well damn I so didn't see this coming then I wonder what they will do next after this as they lost some good friends yet more is too come that is for sure.
Yeah it's going to be a very somber chapter so prepare for that, everyone is either angry or sad as of now and we all know that five deaths is only the start, soon this original group will be nearly gone.
Enjoy, Oh And I just wanted to give you an exact list of what lost Characters are in the camp as of now. Eko, Ana, Claire, Charlie, Rose, Bernard, Locke, Sawyer, Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sun, and Jin. Needless to say they have pretty high numbers right now.
Rick crouched down looking a ways away from the camp. Dawn was just breaking after the night of terror they all had just survived and he clutched the radio in his hand. While staring at the Atlanta skyline he began to talk into the radio, "Morgan, I don't know if you can hear me. If you're even there at all but maybe you are so listen. I found my family, if you can believe it." Rick let go of the receiver and waited for a moment yet only heard static, "My wife, my son, their alive. I wanted you to know that, there's something else you need to know. The city….It's lost. It's not what we thought it's-It belongs to the dead now. Were camped outside the city a few miles, last night we were attacked. We lost people. Watch yourself, Morgan. Take care of your boy. I'll try again tomorrow at dawn." Rick finished and stood back up.
Back at camp Amy said on the ground hugging her knees looking at Shannon. She had been there for hours and Andrea was starting to get concerned. She walked over to her sister and knelt down, "Amy, are you alright?" Amy didn't respond, her eyes just stayed locked on Shannon.
Andrea let out a breath and reached into her back pocket and took out the necklace from Atlanta, "Here I got this for you, for your birthday." Andrea said with a smile.
Amy turned her head and stared at her hand, "You got this for my birthday." Amy said coldly, "Look around Andrea!" Amy said jumping to her feet, "People are dead! I don't need this fucking shit!" Amy shouted as she grabbed the necklace and threw it across the camp. Andrea stared at her in shock, "It's time to grow the fuck up." Amy grumbled out and sat back down on the ground.
Everyone hearing the commotion stared in shock as Andrea slowly stepped away wiping away a tear. After a moment they all heard Daryl slam his pickaxe back into another head of the dead. This, while horrible to hear to hear got everyone back into gear, or rather back to clean up. Daryl took some deep breaths and wiped his brow while T-Dog and Locke grabbed the body and dragged it to the fire that already head bodies burning.
Daryl passed Sawyer only to hear him grumble out, "I've heard of shit jobs but this has got to take the cake."
"Tell me about it." Daryl said in agreement as Sawyer jammed a metal rod into one of the dead's head.
Rick finally returned and walked over to the small camp fire where Ana, Eko, Lori, Dale and Shane sat. "I thought I heard some yelling, what was going on?" Rick asked,
"It was Amy, she finally said something. Unfortunately for Andrea it wasn't anything good." Shane replied,
"What do you mean?" Rick replied,
"Andrea tried to give her that necklace from Atlanta but Amy snapped and started shouting at her. Add that to the fact she just stares at Shannon and Boone's bodies. I don't think she's doing well." Ana answered as they all looked at her,
"Should we talk to her?" Rick asked,
"Don't know if we should. Hell she blew up at her sister, I doubt any of us are going to get through to her." Lori said sincerely, "We should just leave her alone for now."
Meanwhile, Daryl and Sawyer both walked towards Hurley's body. "Wake up Jimbo! We got work to do." Sawyer called out to Jim who was staring off into the sky. They both grabbed Hugo's legs and began to drag him, "Christ! Snuffy is pretty heavy!" Sawyer said as his face turned red from exertion,
"Yeah, no shit." Daryl groaned back, "We just gotta get him to the fire."
Just behind them Glenn and Charlie stood watching. "What did you say?" Charlie said walking forward with Glenn right next to him,
"What?" Daryl replied,
"You aren't burning him." Charlie said sternly,
"Our people go in that row over there." Glenn said pointing over to Ed and Boone, "We don't burn them!" Glenn said almost crying, "We bury them." Glenn said after taking a short breath.
Daryl and Sawyer looked at eachother and scoffed, "Exactly who is going to get us the forklift to get him there?" Sawyer asked,
Charlie took a step forward, "Enough, don't you say another thing about him. Just do it." Sawyer and Charlie stared at each other for a second angrily until Morales walked over and grabbed Hugo's arms, "Come on guys lets get him over there." Sawyer finally looked away and helped pull Hugo over to the other's.
"Reap what you sow!" Daryl called out angrily as he dropped Hugo's leg as they reached the other's,
"You know what? Shut up man!" Morales shot back,
"You all left my brother for dead! You had this coming!" Daryl shouted out and stormed off. Daryl passed Jim who was walking to another body along that Jack just knelt by.
As Jim approached Jack peered up at him. He looked down then immediately back up as he saw fresh blood on Jim's shirt. "Jim, are you bleeding?"
"I, I just got some on me from the bodies." Jim said quickly and reached down for the walker,
"Jim that blood is fresh." Jack replied then he leaned in towards Jim and whispered, "Did you get bit?"
"No. I just got scratched during the attack." Jim said avoiding eye contact,
"You got bit." Jack said accusingly to him,
"Please, don't tell anybody." Jim pleaded,
"Jim's bit!" Jack said jumping to his feet. Everyone dropped what they were doing and began to circle Jim who began to breath quickly and look around fearfully.
"I'm okay, I'm okay." Jim said to the group as he back away,
"Show it to us!" Daryl called out and took a step forward,
"Everyone calm down, just take it easy!" Jack said putting his hand up,
"Show it to us Jim!" Sawyer added walking to him,
Jim looked down next to him and saw a shovel. He picked it up ready to defend himself. T-Dog quickly ran up behind him and grabbed his arms causing him to drop it. Daryl ran forward and lifted his shirt revealing the bit on his stomach. Everyone could clearly see the blood pouring from the teeth marks and Jack could clearly see that it was infected. "I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay." Jim repeated nearly crying to the others as T-Dog let go of him and everyone stared at him in shock.
Minutes later the group was gathered around while Jim sat by the RV waiting, "I say we just put a pick in his head and end it." Daryl said firmly,
"Is that what you'd want if it was you?" Jack replied,
"Yeah, and I'd thank you while you did it." Daryl said,
"I hate to say it but maybe Daryl's right." Dale said sadly,
"Jim's not a rabid dog Dale." Rick said agitated,
"I'm not suggesting-" Dale began to say only for Rick to overpower him,
"He is a sick sick man. We start down that road where do we draw the line?" Rick finished,
"We don't know for sure it will kill him, we don't know anything for sure." Kate said,
"She's right, he could be fine. We have no way of knowing." Jack said in agreement,
"Line's pretty clear, zero tolerance for walkers, of those to be." Sawyer said angrily,
"Maybe we can get him help, Rick remember what Morgan said." Ana said,
"Right the CDC, they maybe have a cure or something that can help him. They were suppose to be figuring this thing out." Rick said with a nod,
"Rick I heard that too. Heard a lot of things before the world went to hell." Shane said dismissively,
"What if the CDC is still up and running?" Rick replied,
"Man that is a stretch right there." Shane said shaking his head,
"Why? What Rick and Ana are saying makes sense." Rose said,
"She's right wouldn't it make sense for any government that's left to go there and protect it." Bernard added in,
Daryl and Sawyer both looked at each other as Rick continued, "Yes they would protect it at all cost. They'd have food, shelter, protection."
"Okay, Rick, you want those things, all right? I do too, okay? Now if they exist they're at the army base, Fort Benning." Shane interjected,
"That's a hundred miles in the opposite direction." Lori said,
"That is right. But it's away from the hot zone. Now if that place was operational, it'll be heavily armed, we'd be safe there." Shane said,
Daryl and Sawyer both peered back towards Jim, then back at each other. They let out a small nod and eased back. Eko noticed this and slowly moved towards them, "The military was overrun, we all know that. The best choice we have is the CDC." Rick replied back,
"Yeah you go out for aspirin but someone has to have some balls to deal with this problem!" Daryl shouted out and charged at Jim with the pickaxe. Sawyer pulled out his gun and ran over as well. Rick ran over and quickly put his revolver to Daryl's head. Sawyer upon seeing this raised his gun but Eko grabbed his arm twisting it. Sawyer dropped his gun yelling out in pain. Eko grabbed Sawyer and chucked him to away from the gun and picked it up himself.
"Alright enough!" Shane shouted out,
"We do not kill the living." Rick said as Daryl turned to him,
"Funny coming from a guy pointing a gun to my head." Daryl said as he dropped his pickaxe. Just as Rick began to lower his revolver they heard Sawyer let out an angry yell and jump up running at Eko. Rick raised his gun but Eko didn't even seem to react to Sawyer. Just as Sawyer got to Eko, Eko's hand shot out and grabbed Sawyer by the throat, he swung him around and pinned him against the RV,
"Enough, it's over." Eko calmly said, "Do not attack me again." Eko said coldly then let go of Sawyer who slowly slid to the ground clutching his neck and coughing.
Jack walked over and took hold of Jim's arm, "Come with me."
"Where are you taking me." Jim asked clearly scared,
"Somewhere safe." Jack replied and lead him into the RV. As everyone dispersed Dale looked over at Amy and slowly walked over to her. He knelt down and said, "Did I ever tell you how I lost my wife?"
Amy looked over at him and said, "Cancer wasn't it?"
"Yeah." Dale said with a small nod, "I remember when I heard the news I couldn't accept it. I dragged her around to all the doctors and all the test. But when it was all said and done, she was ready. She had accepted it and I couldn't." Dale said with a bit of sadness lingering in his voice, "So after she was gone, I blamed myself."
"Why?" Amy asked,
"I couldn't accept that I was alone and that she was gone. I kept thinking that I could have done more but I couldn't." Dale replied, "It took you and Andrea to finally get me to wake up, to accept that I did all I could."
Amy let out a small nod. Her bottom lip began to tremble, "I made her walk out Dale. Shannon was safe inside but I sent her out and she got killed."
"Amy no, that's not your fault. You couldn't have known." Dale said as he put his hand on her shoulder, "You didn't kill Shannon."
"Then Andrea, she. She gives me a fucking necklace. She acts like five people didn't just die." Amy said bitterly,
"Amy she's your sister. She cares for you, she wanted to celebrate your birthday." Dale said,
Amy looked over at Dale and said, "I don't know Dale, I just-can I just be alone right now."
Dale looked at her for a moment then said, "Alright, just give a holler if you need me."
Thirty Minutes Later…
The group working together finished burning the walkers and also made sure the four members of camp were put down. Carol personally made sure Ed was not going to reanimate by smashing his head with a pickaxe multiple times, even making Daryl slightly frightened.
After they loaded up the bodies into T-Dog's truck and began to drive them up to Jim's pre dug graves where Ana, Rick and Shane already were. Rick and Ana finished digging the last hole Jim never finished and finally Rick said, "Say it. Just go on." Ana looked up and saw Rick staring at Shane, "Come on you have something to say."
Shane rubbed his head and licked his lips. "Look I just think that if you'd stay here, looked after your own. Maybe our loses wouldn't be so bad."
"Well I think if we didn't get the guns they'd be worse." Rick replied,
"Guy's come on. Are we really going to do this?" Ana asked leaning against her shovel, "Why don't you both swallow what happened instead of feeling guilty about it." Both Rick and Shane looked over at her for a second then turned around as they saw the group walking up the hill.
Eko along with Locke began to lower the bodies into the holes while everyone looked on. Ana and Sawyer began to pour the dirt over the bodies. "Does, does anyone want to say anything?" Lori asked looking at the group,
There was a bit of a silence then Charlie said, "Hurley, Hurley was a good man. I-He once told me that he was worth 156 million dollars." Charlie said with a bit of a smirk, "He said that it was the worst thing to happen to him when he won that money." Charlie said as he wiped a tear from his eye, "I know that I will never meet another person quite like Hurley again." Charlie finished and hung his head, Claire walked over and put her arm around him.
Lori let out a nod, she wiped away a tear as well and said, "Anyone else?"
"I didn't know Boone well." John said, "In fact I'm sure that he only knew me as the hunting guy. But I did know that he wanted to provide for this group and his sister. And that, that tells us who he was, someone we should all strive to be."
Everyone nodded then hung their heads in a moment of silence for the fallen. As the group walked away Eko knelt down in front of the graves and began to pray. Rick stopped and watched him for a moment then walked over to him. He silently waited for him to finish and heard him say, "Lord grant us this mercy, we beseech thee. Amen."
Eko got to his feet and looked at Rick, "You're a priest aren't you?" Eko stared at him for a moment yet said nothing, "The stick, it has scripture carved into it. I was talking to the others and they said that you stopped talking after the first attack. Why did you do that?"
Eko looked at him then said, "Everyone was afraid, including me. We fought the dead and once it was over everyone continued as if it didn't happen. No one mourned the dead, so I did." Eko replied and walked past Rick back towards camp.
Alright another chapter down, I hope you all liked this very mellow chapter other than the small Eko Vs Sawyer fight. Next chapter the group gets a move on and a bit more sadness to come. Anyway leave a review and tell me what you thought as this was more of my own writing then just following what the show characters said.
