All Nightmare Long

Chapter 409

Author's Note: So I completly forgot that Heath is in the infirmary when Rick brings in Carl, so I have to get him and Beth, over to the infirmary. I'm over joyed that the death of random hair cut woman death is upcoming. Now I have to plan for trash ladies demise. Jewel will kill her. I don't care how it happens on the show, even if it doesn't, she will die. Review please.

Beth's POV:

Beth looked out the window and glanced toward the direction of the infirmary. "They are thinning out from in front of the house," she stated.

"What are you thinking?" Noel questioned.

"I am going to make a try to it to the infirmary," Beth said as she went into the kitchen to find another knife or ax.

"The last time you tried to go, Ronnie got bit," Heath said.

"You're right she did," Beth said. "But she risked her life because she wanted to get to her patients. We don't know if Denise is over there or not. Your friend Scott is there, injured. If the walkers' get into the infirmary, Scott and the others aren't going to have a chance. I can't wait here and hope they are alright, or that someone is over there to help them. I need to do this for Ronnie. I couldn't live with myself if something happened and no one was there to fight for them," she pointed out.

"We don't know if Denise is there or not," Noel said.

"Exactly, we don't. I'm not taking that chance," Beth said. "I'm not going to sit here and hope for the best, or hope someone else will do it. I can't do that, not anymore. I'm not asking you to go with me, someone has to stay with Jenny," Beth said.

"Noel's injured, I'm not, I'll go," Heath volunteered.

"I'm not asking you too," Beth said.

"No, I'm volunteering. I'm not going to let you go out there alone. My mother and Aunt would have my hide if they heard that I let you go out there alone. And yes, they scare me more then the dead at times," Heath said.

"They are quite fierce," Noel agreed.

"I'm going to go talk to Jenny, I'll be right back," Beth said as she went upstairs. "Jenny?" she asked as she went inside in the room. She bent down and pulled the blanket up seeing Jenny under the bed. "Hi."

"Hi," Jenny answered. "I'm being quiet."

Beth smiled. "I see that and I'm very proud of you and so will Morgan when I tell him. I'm going to have to try to make it to the infirmary and I need you to be good for Noel. You know he's hurt, so I want you to be a big girl and help him, OK?"

"OK," Jenny readily agreed.

"I want you to go down and help him bring some canned food up here. It'll be quick, and both of you can stay up here, safe," Beth said.

"OK," Jenny said as she came from under the bed. "Beth, do you have to go outside?" the little girl questioned.

Beth took a breath as she took her hand to go downstairs. "I don't have to go outside, but then the people in the infirmary are left unprotected, and that isn't fair. I'll be careful and you'll see me again, and I expect you to give me a big old hug when I do,"Beth told her.

"OK," Jenny said with a grin.

"Take care of her," Beth told Noel.

Noel nodded. "I will. Both of you be careful," he told them.

"We will," Heath said. "Let's do this," he said as he looked at Beth who gave a nod. He quickly opened and closed the door as both of them ran out. Beth and Heath both killed walkers' as they ran to the infirmary. The door quickly opened.

"Come on," Aaron said as both of them ran in. He closed the door.

"Where's Ronnie?" Spencer questioned.

"She's gone, a walker got her," Beth said sadly.

"We took the patients upstairs, just in case," Aaron said.

Beth nodded. "Good," she said.

Rick's Group POV:

Walkers were growling around as it started to get dark, Rick and the group walking.

"The monsters will come and you won't be able to run away when they come for you, what's out there. And they will tear you apart and eat you up all while you're still alive," Carol's voice said in Sam's head. Sam saw the walkers' getting close and froze, pulling back, still holding Jessie's hand, causing the whole group to freeze.

Jewel looked at Jessie as she held her hand. "We need to keep moving," she told her. Jewel knew that this was going to happen, she should have insisted that he went with Gabriele and Mika. She took a breath as she looked past Jessie to Rick, seeing the fear in his eyes.

"Sam, Sam come on, sweet heart. Sam. Sam come on," Jessie encouraged.

"Come on Sam," Rick encouraged.

"Sam, we need to keep walking," Jewel spoke calmly.

Ron whispered at him. "Sam, you can do this. Just look at mom."

"Sam, honey just look at me. Sam honey," Jessie said as he started to cry. "I need you to come with me," she told him.

"I want to," Sam said.

"I need you to be strong," Jessie said.

"Sam, we need to go. You wanted to come, you said you could do this. I didn't think you could. YOu need to prove me wrong, because you are stronger then you think. Come on Sam," Jewel encouraged.

"Sam," Ron said.

Jewel's eyes got big as she saw Walkers' approaching Sam. "We need to go," she told Sam as she started to move forward to grab him but wasn't fast enough before the walkers' got to Sam, starting to bite him.

"MOM!" Sam said as he screamed.

"Sam!" Jessie screamed as she started crying.

Jewel looked at Rick and took a breath. "Jessie, we got to go. I'm so sorry," she whispered.

Rick looked at Jessie. "Jessie, Jessie, come with us, come on we have to go," he encouraged.

"They're coming closer," Jewel said. "Come on Jessie, we need to go. You still have another son, he needs you," Jewel said.

"No," Jessie said as she sobbed.

"Dad," Carl said as he noticed the walkers'. "Come with us, we have to go," he told her.

Jewel instinctively took a step back with Jessie still holding her hand as walkers' started to attack the other woman. Jewel tried to pull her hand away, but somehow Jessie tightened her grip. "Let go," she hissed.

"Dad," Carl said as he tried to help Jewel.

Rick took out his hatchet and immediately chopped Jessie's hand without hesitating. The action caused Jewel to fall, and accidentally knocking Carl over, him losing his gun.

Jewel stood up, helping Carl up. "You OK?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm OK mom," Carl assured her.

Ron grabbed the gun off the ground. "You," he hissed.

"Ron put down the gun," Jewel hissed.

Michonne stabbed him from behind as he fired the gun.

Carl turned with his eyes blown out. "Mom? Dad?" he questioned as he collapsed.

"Carl! No!" Rick said as he ran to pick up Carl. Michonne and Jewel both ran out in front of him, killing walkers'.

Mitch's POV:

The Wolf looked through the opening of the gates. "They're moving toward the gun fire, that shout. I suppose someone thought they could put up a fight," he said.

"We did put up a fight, that's why you're friends are dead," Denise said.

"You'll be joining them soon," Mitch said.

The Wolf laughed. "We'll see. Yeah, we should've waited and watched a little longer. That was selfish. But maybe if I wasn't so selfish, I wouldn't have got that IV. We're gonna find a gap and go up that guard tower and over the wall. You don't need to be afraid," the man told them.

"I'm not scared," Mitch said.

"Go to Hell," Denise said.

"You need to know, it's safer out there than it is in here," the Wolf said.

Mitch gave a laugh. "Yeah, that's a big fat lie. You couldn't make it in a place like this, with decent people. That's why you wouldn't think it was safe. You're no better then them, at least with the walkers' they are trying to eat us because of instinct. You're just evil," he told the man.

"Does that mouth ever get you into trouble?" The wolf asked.

"You gonna shoot me?" Mitch asked.

"No," the Wolf responded.

"Then I guess it doesn't matter," Mitch responded.

"Start moving," the wolf told them. "Start moving," he repeated putting the gun to Denise's head causing Mitch to go up the steps. "Now straight up that guard post and do not stop. Go," he told them. The man ran toward the tower to kill a walker.

A walker came toward Denise. "Shit," she said. Mitch kicked the walker off of her as the Wolf came over to help, getting his arm bit.

Mitch looked at him. "Give me your knife. You can't fight off the walkers' with only one arm," he said.

"We aren't going to hurt you. Let's go. Come with us, now. You get me to the infirmary, I save you life. "I'll save your life," Denise assured him.

"We'll save your life, you just have to trust us," Mitch said.

The wolf looked at them before handing his knife to Mitch and went in front of them.
