" Beth?" Jenna called out for her sister when the sun came up. Everyone was eating breakfast and Jenna had woken up to people talking and a few laughs. They all looked to her when she called out the girl's name. "Beth?" She called again.
" In the tree." Glenn pointed to the tree near the house. " She has been there all morning. I woke up before the sun came up and she was already climbing." Glenn said. " I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't say anything." Glenn sounded guilty.
" Thanks Glenn. Do me a favor if I don't come back with her go get Rick for me."
" May not be the best time. He and Lori have fought all morning and Shane wasn't helping." Glenna explained before she walked away.
" Arguing about what?" She asked.
" Randal. Rick wants to take him away again." he explained.
" Jesus…" She looked around to find Rick, Shane, Lori, Daryl and Dale all arguing by the truck. " Carl!" Jenna called him over. He came running.
" yeah Jenna?" He asked.
" Hey bud, you see that tree over there." She said pointing to the tree. He nodded. " Well Beth is feeling a little sad and is up there. You think you could get her to come down for me?" She asked.
" Sure." Carl smiled running off toward the tree.
Jenna smiled at the boy and then looked at the group of men. She walked over to find Lori staying back because Rick was talking in a low and serious tone. Daryl was hovered over a map and Dale was trying to reason with him.
" What you gunna take him out and then shoot him? Is that humane." Dale asked.
" We aren't going to kill him." Rick said walking over Daryl.
" No your just gunna risk your lives again." Shane said getting upset. " he will get back to the rest of his group.."
" We killed them" Rick said.
" No we killed a small part of them." Jenna interrupted and Lori shot her a look. Shane and Rick just listened as Daryl tried not to stare at her. " You let that boy go he is just going to find others from his group. You said he told you there were 30 of them." She looked over at Daryl who nodded slightly. " There were 12 at that cabin." She pointed out.
" So we just kill him?" Dale said walking over to her.
" No. Just throw a walker at him and it will be done with." She said and Dale and Lori gasped.
" He is a human being!" Lori said.
" Who's friends kidnapped your kid and tried to kill him along with Beth." Jenna spat back at her.
" You can't do that." Lori and Dale seemed to say. " That isn't humane."
Jenna laughed. " Humane? There is no such thing anymore." Jenna pointed out.
" Still isn't right." Rick spoke up.
" Oh because kidnapping, beating, and attempted rape is right!" Jenna said walking closer. Shane's hand caught her around the waist pulling her away before she hit Rick. She had no idea why she was so angry at Rick but everything he said made her want to hit him.
" You want to take Daryl as your wing man. Go ahead." Shane said.
" Thank you." Rick said walking away.
" you got it." Shane said before Rick walked away.
Shane looked back to Lori who was just staring at him and Jenna. Jenna just looked back at Lori who eventually walked away.
Everyone went out their business for a few hours. Carl and Beth were still in the tree and Jenna was helping Carol with laundry as she noticed Macy and Tony making Maggie and Glenn laugh. Those two had fit in nicely and didn't cause trouble. She then looked around for Shane. She hadn't seen him in a few hours and she was wondering what he was doing.
" hey Jenna?" A female voice made Jenna snap out of her thoughts. She then turned to see Andrea walking over to her. " Have you seen Dale?" She asked.
" Um.. No I saw him take off into the woods a few hours ago but I never saw him come back.. Why he isn't back yet?" I told her then suddenly a painful screams shot through the air.
Everyone stood up and looked around in the dark. The sun had vanished quickly and Jenna didn't even realize that she was running toward the screaming with Andrea. There were three bodies in the darkness. One was on top of the other and one was running at the one on top. Then the running one tackled him to the ground and stabbed him in the head.
" Hold on man." Daryl's voice made Jenna run faster. She got to Dale second and almost passed out at the sight. His stomach was ripped open and he looked like he was in pain.
" Oh God Dale!" Andrea and her dropped to the ground as Andrea grabbed his hand and Jenna tried to stop the bleeding but all she was doing was getting blood all over her.
" Hershel come on we gotta get him back to the house."
" he wont make the trip."
" Then do the operation here."
" Rick.. I'm sorry." Hershel finished the conversation as Jenna took a step back.
" He's suffering." Andrea said in sobs as Rick and Shane looked at each other. Jenna could feel the warm sensation of tears but she held them back as she saw Rick pull his gun.
She expected him to pull the trigger and she watched but Daryl stepped in and took the gun from Rick. They looked at each other with a nod. " Sorry brother." He said as the shot finally rang out making Jenna flinch as everyone looked away but she just watched. Her breathing then got high and she couldn't even look at anyone.
Everyone huddled around the body crying and mourning the loss of Dale. Jenna just stayed back and stared at the man. 'Out of everyone to kill.. Why Dale?' She said to her self. She shook her head then walked away.
I'm sorry! I loved Dale too but he pushed everyone's buttons and was going to die eventually... he will be missed. Anyone else like how cold Jenna got there? Chilling!
