HI EVERYONE! I'm SO sorry for the lack of updates. I have been sick for a month straight, and after a bunch of tests and blood tests, it turns out I have Lyme disease. :( Please review so I know you're still reading! Here's two new chapters in result of my tardiness.
Carol was crying. Daryl got her up. "Don't look. Don't look!" he hollared at her. But she shoved him away and started running back towards the camper. He looked heartbroken. I left tears softly run down my face. Hershel layed on his knees in disbelief. Maggie comforted him. Beth held onto Jimmy as she cried. But then she pushed him away too and started going towards her mothers dead body.
Rick tried to stop her. "Shhh, wait, wait." he tried comforting. But she walked passed him. She rolled her mother's body over and cried to her. "Mom?" But then the walker woke up. I guess someone didn't hit her brain. She grabbed ahold of Beth. Beth screamed. I gasped. "BETH!"
Shane and Rick grabbed ahold of Beth, and T-dog and Glenn grabbed ahold of the walker as Andrea hit it in the head with a pitchfork. Hershel and Maggie hugged Beth. Maggie grabbed ahold of me and we started walking towards the house. Hershel and mama grabbed Beth and followed, with Jimmy and Glenn behind.
Shane and Rick began to follow. "We've been out scrapin' these woods and she's been in there all long?!'" Shane hollered. Maggie turned around. "Leave us alone!" "You knew!" Shane hollered. Rick tried to stop Shane. "Hey Shane, just stop!" But Shane just smacked him off. "Get your hands off me. You knew, and you kept it from us."
"I didn't know!" Hershel said in distraught. "That's bullshit, I think you all knew! Including you princess!" he said, kicking my boot in so I half tripped but Maggie caught me. She stood me up straight as I tried to swat at him. "We didn't know!" Maggie hollered. "WHY was she there!?" Shane yelled. "Otis, put those people in the barn. Maybe he found her, and put her in there before he was killed!" Hersehl defended.
"Now you expect me to beleive that? What do I look like? I look like an idiot to you?" Shane said. Rick patted his chest. "Shane, Shane…." "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU BELEIVE!" Hershel screamed. "Okay, everybody just calm down, please!" Rick enforced. "GET HIM OFF MY LAND!" Hershel yelled. Shane pushed him. "Lemme tell ya sumthin' man…"
But before he could say another word, Maggie screamed, "aye! Don't touch'm!" and slapped him. "Haven't you done enough?" They started going into the house, but before Hershel did, he said, "I mean it. Off my land." Glenn looked at Shane in disgust and went inside after Maggie. I went inside after hearing Shane and Rick screaming at eachother. I looked outside the window and seen Daryl head into the camper where Carol was. My heart sunk even further.
"I have to ask you…" Glenn said. "Did you guys know she was in there?" Maggie and I both looked at him in disgust. "You know, maybe in some weird way this is for the best. At least we know, and now we can move on." Maggie got hurt. "Move on?"
"It's just like.. It meant so much to everyone. Finding her ya know? And then…" Glenn rambled. "So now you just move on…" Maggie asked. "If we can….I mean… we've lost others. But this is Sophia! The whole group…. This one was different." Glenn said, trying not to lose it. I went over and hugged him. "So what happens now?" Maggie asked.
"We bury her. With your um...Step mom, and step brother." Glenn said sweetly taking a step towards her. "And then?" Maggie croaked. He walked up to her and kissed her forehead. "I don't know." I walked outside on to the porch, giving them some alone time. After awhile, Lori came up to me and told me they were holding services for Hershel's family and Sophia. The only one who didn't attend was Carol. Daryl stood beside me as I stared at the tombstones blankely.
After the service, mama grabbed me from Daryl and took me into the house. Me and Beth started doing dishes to keep ourselves occupied. Glenn and Maggie were talking in the living room. All of sudden Beth went pale and stopped doing the dishes. "Beth?" I mumbled. But she fainted and fell to the floor, breaking dishes. "BETH!" I screamed.
"Oh my God!" Maggie cried, coming to us. Glenn carried her to her bed. She was pale, and cold, and she stared off into space. "Sweetie can you hear me?" Maggie asked her. Lori came in in a rush. Maggie looked to her. "What's wrong with her?" She asked. "She might be in shock, where's Hershel?"
"Can't find him anywhere." Glenn said. I stayed with Beth while Rick, Shane, Glenn and Maggie searched Hershels room. They came back thinking he was at Hatlinns, the town bar. Rick and Glenn decided they were gonna go. I walked outside with Maggie and Glenn. Maggie grabbed ahold of Glenn. "I love you." Glenn took a step back and started walking away. Maggie was disgusted and walked away in tears, and confused. I ran after her.
"Why didn't he say it back?" she asked. I shook my head. "He will, Maggie. He's prolly just shocked." She nodded. We sat in Beth's room with mama and Andrea and Lori and Jimmy. Andrea walked over to me and Lori. "Her heart's racing and she's burning up. We need Hershel, he'll know what to do."
"Would you...Look in on Carl for me?" Lori asked her. "Of course." Andrea said. Lori began to walk away. I followed her. We went to Daryl. "Move into the suburbs?" Lori asked sarcastically. "Listen, Beth's in some kind of catatonic shock. We need Hershel."
"Yea...So what." Daryl asked, unamused. "So, I need you to run into town real quick and bring him and Rick back." She pleaded. He didn't respond. "Daryl." He looked at her. "You bitch about window shoppin'. You want him, go fetch him yourself. I got better things to do." he said crudely.
"What's the matter with you? Why would you be so selfish?" Lori asked. Daryl got up. "Selfish? Listen to me, olive oil! I was out there lookin' for that lil' girl every single day! I took a bullet and an arrow in the process. Don'tchu tell me bout' gettin' my hands dirty! You want those two idiots, have a nice ride! I'm done lookin' for people."
Lori began to walk away. I looked at him in disgust. "What if it were me asking you…?" I asked. He looked at me more softly. "Oh. Now you wan' talk to me." I rolled my eyes and started walkin' away. "Lori wait! Lemme come." I asked. She nodded. "Okay."
We got in to the car and began driving. "Please don't be hurt over Daryl… He's just upset. He… Dedicated a lot of time to Carol...And Sophia." I croaked. She nodded. "I know hunny." She grabbed the map and looked at it. Before I knew it, there was a walker in front of us. I gasped. "LORI LOOK OUT!" She gasped, but that's the last thing I remember.
