Chapter 5: Soft Shock
"You are a fantastic cook as always, Snooks!" Katy yelled across the large table when everyone finished dinner. "thanks!" Emma said in a cute tiny way. Katy looked across the table at the guy wearing the dirty ball cap. " I can wash that for you." Katy spoke as she walked over to him and leaned her elbows on the table, resting her head on her hands. Everyone was getting up and handing there plates to Carol and Rick at the sink and went to do there own thing. Katy looked over at Emma who was laying on the couch with her feet propped on Shane's lap. She giggled as Shane slowly pulled off her shoes and let them drop to the floor. She sighed with relief as Shane began to rub her feet. Emma was smiling big. Katy then turned back to Glenn. Glenn looked at her, dazed. Her eyes sparkled with mischief. " uh, sure." she smiled and popped up and grabbed his hand and pulled. "wah?!" he let her pull him to the laundry room. She pushed him in and closed the door with a soft click. Glenn looked at her as she suddenly started to read the back of the detergent box. She was leaning against the door frame, with her leg up on the frame. Her hair fell in her face and she would whip it behind her ears. She wore a long sleeve blue shirt with a v neck and a white laced tank top under it. She had a black spandex mini skirt with grey leggings with light blue circles, and sparkly silver Ugg boots. She was cute. He felt his cheeks grow hot. She giggled and went to the washer and turned the dial. Water rushed into it. She poured the right amount in the cup and dumped it into the stream. Katy walked up to Glenn and stared at him for awhile. Glenn shuffled his feet awkwardly. She tilted her head, looking at him. She smiled and leaned in a pecked him on the cheek. He looked at her wide eyed. Suddenly the door slammed open and it was Emma. Katy wiped her head around to look at her. " Why do you always drop the wall when you don't see any walkers? Damn it Katy there everywhere!" Emma rushed out. Glenn felt frozen and heard people running and yelling mixed with gun shots and moaning and growls of walkers. "oh shit! Lets go!" Katy gasped and ran from the room to the gun drawer. She grabbed two pistols and slung her sword over her shoulder. She rushed outside the open front door to see the stormy sky and walkers coming up to the house in droves. "Emma!" she heard Shane yell and Katy scanned the area quickly for her cousin. She found her. She was bashing in a walker with the end of a AK-47. She saw Shane rush to her and give her help. Katy let out a sigh of relief. But it was short lived for a walker came up behind Katy and grabbed her shoulder. She screamed and then blood splattered her face as it got shot. Rick came up behind her and tilted his head at her, smiled and continued shooting. Katy looked at the scene again. Eight people where shooting these things including Sophia and she was just standing there dumb founded. Glenn stepped in front of her and nudged her out of her trance. "come on Katy! Back me up!" Glenn stepped off the porch and into the sea of walkers. Katy followed him, shooting walkers in the faces and brains. She stowed away her guns in her pockets and unsheathed her sword. She swung it around, decapitating walkers all around her and Glenn. She started to laugh. It seemed to easy for her to swing and hit the mark. She was in softball all her life and her mother trained her hard. She heard Emma scream and her rhythm was dropped. She looked around at where she last saw her and Emma was under a walker. It had taken her down and was now pinning her to the ground. Katy went to go to her but saw Daryl. Yet he wasn't doing anything about it. He had to notice her writhing on the ground not three feet from him. But he just kept shooting walkers. "Shane!" Katy yelled for him and he appeared near her. "Get Emma!" Katy yelled franticly as she swung at another walker. Shane looked for her, spotted her and ran. He shot the walker in the head multiple times and he grabbed it and flung it off her. Emma got up and wrapped her arms around Shane's neck with her eyes wide as moons. He pulled her from him and held her arms, examining her. She seemed fine for he pulled her in a tight hug. Shane shot a walker coming towards them as he held on to Emma with one arm. She let go and grabbed her gun from the ground and started shooting. And as quickly as they had come, they where now all dead, again. Everyone stood around mounds and mounds of dead bodies. Dale was re-loading his rifle and Carol held Sophia. Rick looked at Katy and smiled. Daryl started to walk around and yank his arrows from the walkers. Katy stood there next to Glenn and slowly looked at him. He was staring at her. When there eyes met he reached out for her and she walked over to him and hugged him as he held her tight. Katy began to cry. Glenn then pulled her head into his shoulder tighter. " it's okay. Your safe and sound."
