Daryl, Merle and Rick went in search of Shane. They looked around the farm and couldn't find him anywhere. When they arrived back at camp Lori told them his bag and some guns had gone missing.
"Are you going to search the woods?" Carol asked.
Rick just shrugged sadly. "How's Megan?" He asked Hershel who had just stepped onto the porch.
"She's okay. She's awake, no long term damage from what i can tell, she might have a headache for a few days and feel dizzy but otherwise she's okay." He explained.
"And the baby?" Daryl asked.
"Hard to tell but I believe the baby is just fine too." He said with a smile and a nod allowing Daryl to let out a sigh of relief.
"Right, enough of this lets go kick this Pigs ass." Merle said ready to go once again.
"Why do you even care?" Daryl suddenly snapped.
Merle shrugged. "Even I know you don't hit a women. Especially not a pregnant one. Plus I've never liked that cop."
Daryl just shook his head. "Let's check the woods then. See if we can pick up any tracks."
Rick, Merle and Daryl headed off into the woods leaving the group behind.
"What do you think they will so when they find him?" Carol asked no one in-particular.
"Kill him." Was Loris shakes reply.
It was getting dark and the three men still hadn't arrived back. Dale had taken a walk towards the tree line to see of he could spot them coming.
As he approached the tree line he heard twigs snapping and assumed it was Rick, Daryl and Merle returning. He couldn't have been more wrong when a walker lunged at him. He tried to hold it back but he was trapped.
He screamed loudly as the walker tore his stomachs apart.
He heard footsteps hitting the grass at a fast pace. Andrea was beside him pushing the walker off. A shot rang out as someone killed the walker.
"He's suffering." Andrea cried.
Dale hadn't realised that Rick, Daryl and Merle had appeared until Rick was pointing the gun towards his head. His eyes were wide as he waited for it all to be over. Instead Daryl took Ricks place and then it was over.
"WALKERS GET IN THE HOUSE!" They heard Maggie shout from the porch breaking the silence a few minutes later.
The group at Dales body looked around to see movement near the far tree line. Walkers and lots of them.
The group ran towards the house. Andrea was shouting about not wanting to leave Dales body but was dragged away by Rick screaming and crying.
Guns were handed out as the group began shooting the approaching walkers.
"We have to get out of here. Where's Megan?" Rick shouted.
"Inside." Maggie replied over the gun fire.
Rick ran inside to where Megan was. She was out of it and not even waking to the sounds of shouting and gun fire.
He scooped her up in his arms and carried her outside.
"Lori, Carl in the truck now." He shouted.
They did as he said and watched over Megan while Rick told the others what to do.
Everything was a mess, walkers were everywhere people where screaming and Hershel was refusing to leave.
When Rick finally got Hershel to the truck one car had already left. He wasn't sure who was in it but he knew his remaining family were safe and for now that's all that mattered.
"Where do we go? What do we do?" Lori asked panicked as she held into Carl.
"Highway. We will meet them at the highway." Rick said as he drove off in the truck.
"What about Sophia?" Carl asked in a small voice.
Rick didn't answer. He didn't see Sophia or Carol through all the walkers. He saw Patricia and Jimmy being taken down and Beth being pulled away by Maggie but that was it. He didn't see Merle, Glenn, Daryl, T or Otis either.
Rick stopped the truck at the exact place Sophia and Carl had taken off when morning came around. No one was there. He didn't want to think the worst, maybe they didn't think to come to the highway, maybe they were driving around looking for the others.
Megan had woken during the night. She got out of the car groggily and was being partially held up by Hershel.
"Did you find Shane?" Lori finally asked. It was a question she had been dying to ask since they came beck.
Rick glared at her.
"Shane? Why where's Shane?" Megan asked but was completely ignored. She had only been told that she had slept through a herd of walkers attacking the farm and that they were unsure how the rest of the group were.
"Really? Is that what you care about right now?" He snapped. He checked to make sure Carl was still asleep in the car before saying anything else. "Your boyfriend almost killed my sister, my pregnant sister. I couldn't care if he was dead right now! He was my best friend and he betrayed me by sleeping with you and then he goes and attacks Megan leaving her for dead!" Rick snapped.
"Rick-" Lori started but was cut of by Rick again.
"No, don't bother. I'm sorry your child won't have it's father, I will be there for that child but I will not be around you while you are still pining over that man."
Lori was stunned silent and didn't reply. Instead a car engine broke the silence.
They recognised the car and when it got closer they saw who was inside.
The doors opened and Maggie and Beth ran to Hershel hugging him tightly.
Glenn approached Rick smiling. "I knew you'd be here."
Carol appeared out of the back too looking around for Sophia.
"Is Sophia not with you?" Carol asked with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Carol. I didn't see her. If I had I would have brought her with me." Rick replied sadly.
She let out a chocked sob and Lori hugged her as she cried for her missing child again.
A few minutes later the familiar roar of Daryl bike approached them.
Merle was on the back with Daryl on the front. Even over the roar of the engine everyone could here them bickering.
"You don't touch my bike again!" Merle snapped as he stepped of the bike.
"You can't even ride the damn thing!" Daryl snapped back but Merle ignored him and approached the group.
"Missed me darlings?" Merle asked grinning.
"Is Sophia with you?" Carol asked desperately.
Merle grinned. "No she's with them." He said pointing to the other car that had followed them. "Couldn't got her on the bike so we got the big guy and the ni- T Dog to follow us here. Daryl said this would be the first place you would go." He said referring the the car that Otis and T got out off.
"Mama!" Sophia shouted as she ran to Carol.
Carl had gotten out of the truck rubbing his eyes. He smiled brightly when he saw everyone and went to greet Sophia.
"Who we missing?" Daryl asked.
"Patricia and Jimmy are gone." Beth sniffed wiping the tears that were streaming down her face again.
"Andrea hasn't arrived either." Megan pointed out.
"You look like shit." Daryl blurted out honestly as he approached her.
"I know." She sighed.
"You alright though?" He asked.
She nodded. "I guess, got a headache and I'm really hungry!" She whined.
He chuckled and took off to retrieved his Rucksack from the bike. He came back grinning as he held up a packet of cookies. Similar to the ones she had brought with her to his tent.
She grinned and snatched them from her. "Thank you." She smiled.
"Taste like crap anyway." He said.
Eventually the group were on the road again after checking out a map and rummaging through cars for supplies and collecting gas.
Merle had forced Daryl to ride in a truck with Megan, T , Sophia and Carol so he could have his precious bike back even though he wasn't riding it. He had just attached it to the back of a truck he had found on the highway.
Daryl was determined to find his own bike. He hated being squashed against the door of the car with Megan practically laying on his lap.
"Are you stroking her hair?" T chuckled looking back at Daryl and Megan.
Daryl looked down, he was indeed stroking Megan's hair he hadn't even realised he had been doing it. He snapped his hand away quickly.
"No!" He snapped even though he knew he had seen it.
Sophia giggled. "You've gone bright red."
"Shut up kid." He muttered embarrassed.
"It's okay Daryl. We won't tell anyone that you're a big softie." Carol grinned from the drivers seat.
He growled. "I'm driving next time or at least get me a bike."
T, Carol and Sophia just giggled.

Another update because I'm not going to be able to update for a few days. Sorry, I have work and obviously that comes first.
This chapter is probably really crap because I kind of rushed it so again I apologise. I'll try to make the next chapter better.
Just to clear things up Otis is alive as is Shane. He will appear again later and he will get his ass kicked!
All guest reviews will be moderated!
I've recently had some extremely rude ones saying that my story was shit!
If you don't like it then why on earth are you reading it?!
My writing style and love for diverting away from the show will not change no matter how many vulgar commented I receive.
You are wasting your own time and being a coward about it too by using the guest feature.
I do not mind honesty, not one bit and as you can see from my story I don't mind cuss words but when 90% of a review is full of that language I refuse to post it.
Stop wasting your time and find something better to do.
These reviewes were not given to help improve my story, they were given to try and make me delete the story like they have done in the past well guess what I'm not doing it. You lost, goodbye.
Thank you!
