MaddieMarie1212: No! I know it would never happen and I regretted every second of writing it! But there was a reason for it...

Tears and sadness. That's all that followed the massacre that Shane brought upon the farm.

Daryl tried to pull Carol to her feet, but she just pushed him off her and ran to the RV.

The youngest Green girl, Beth stumbled over to cradle her step mother's head in her lap only to find out that she wasn't completely dead yet. She screamed as her mother's decaying hands reached up to pull her step daughter close to take a bite.

Lily ran forward and wrapped an arm around the girl's waist. Several others surrounded her. Some went for Beth while the others went for the walker.

A hand grabbed the scruff of her shirt and threw her out of the way. Shane.

'What the hell have I done to piss you off so greatly? Why does he keep doing this?' she thought pulling her knife from her pocket and jumped back into the fray.

The knife collided hitting its target.

The walker fell with a thud.

As Lily cleaned her knife in the grass, Shane took off after the Greenes but not before casting her a nasty look.

"We've been out. We've been combing these woods looking for her. And she was in there all along?" Shane approached the Greene's as they were walking back to the house to cope with what they had just seen. "You knew!"

"Leave us alone," Maggie shouted to him.

"Hey, Shane, just stop, man," Rick said grabbing his shoulder.

"Get your hands off me. You knew and you kept it from us."

"I didn't know."

"That's bullshit."

"We didn't know," Maggie snapped.

"Why was she there?"

"Your-Otis put those people in the barn. Maybe he found her and put her in there before he was killed."

"You expect me to believe that? What do I look like? An idiot?"

"You brought this hell upon the farm Shane! You have no right to be asking questions!" Lily shouted at him. Shane spun to face her and fire burned in his eyes but Rick stopped him before he could do anything.

"I don't care what you believe!" Hershel shouted.

"Everybody just calm down!" Rick tried being piece maker.

"Get him off my land!"

"Let me tell you somethin'."

"Hey. Don't you touch him!" Maggie slapped Shane and he just backed off. "Haven't you done enough?"

"I mean it-off my land."

Rick saw the anger in Lily's eyes over Shane's actions and threw an arm up even though she wasn't going to do anything.

"What are you doin'?" Rick asked the now silent Shane. "Hey, what are you doin'?"

"Daryl and Lily almost died lookin' for her. Any one of us could have. I'm gonna tell ya, Rick- That son of a bitch, he knew."

"He did not know. He's not like that. He opened his home to us."

"Put us all in danger. Man, he kept a barnful of walkers."

"So you just start an insurrection, hand out guns and massacre his family?"

"His family's dead, Rick."

"Well, he doesn't believe that. He thinks you just murdered him in cold blood."

"No, man, I don't care what he thinks."

"I was handling it, brother."

'Brother? I knew they had to be close I just didn't know how close. I'm done with this.' She walked away from the conversation to hear the final note from Shane. "You're just as delusional as that guy."

She walked away from the house and saw Andrea walking back to the barn with a blanket in her hands. She was wiping tears from her eyes when she saw Lily.

When she saw Lily looking at her and had to double check to make sure there wasn't someone behind her. "You-you wanna help?" She asked through tears.

"Yeah," Lily responded with a knot in her throat. Sophia was dead. She was officially gone. Two people had almost died for her.

"This sucks."

"No shit." Lily wiped a tear of her own. "At least we know."

"Yeah. Hey, look I'm sorry for shooting you-"

"Don't. I'm still alive. That's all that matters."

There she was. So small compared to the others, but dead just like them. Just as decomposed.

Andrea and Lily spread the blanket over Sophia's small body.

"What did you do to make Daryl hit you? He's never hit anyone before. Especially not a woman." It was obvious she was trying to change the subject.

"Look, I pushed his buttons! Why is this such a big deal? We got in a fight and I pissed him off!"

"How?"

The knot caught in her throat. "Because I told him Sophia was dead...ok? I told him to stop looking for her because we'd almost died on the job and that pissed him off. I really got under his skin and paid the price."

"Sorry I asked."

"No, no. I needed to get it out. If I didn't, I'd have probably punched him again...Can you just give me the scythe from the barn so I can finish off these walkers to prepare them for the pit? I need to be kept busy."

"We should bury them," T-Dog said walking up.

"We need a service," Andrea said. "Carol would want that."

"Yeah, we all want that."

"Let's um-Let's dig a grave for Sophia, Annett and Shawn over by those trees." Lori added joining the slowly growing group. "And we'll need a truck to move the bodies."

"I'll get the keys," Jimmy offered.

"No, no," Shane stopped him. "I got the truck."

"And the others? That's a lot of digging. Especially you." He looked at Lily. "You are still recovering and I know Hershel would say you don't need to be working."

"Yes, I will keep that in mind but I can do some work. I'm not gonna just sit around and watch you work," Lily told him honestly and he knew there was nothing he could say to convince her otherwise.

"We bury the ones we love and burn the rest," Andrea informed Jimmy.

"Let's get to work."
