Without further interruptions, let's drop the season finale!
War
Daryl was glad to be polished into the sofa by himself while the quad watched to his left. They were re watching the movie and Daryl was in and out. After a satisfying climax and end to the movie, the group of 5 had called it a night.
Maggie woke up in her bed, cocooned in her blanket. After a girly yawn and stretching, Maggie went down to the bathroom and turned on the shower water. She had acquired the Dove shampoo and conditioner. Coconut. That was the best fresh scent.
Daryl walked up down the hall to stop by Maggie's. "Hey Maggie I'm gonna-.." He heard the shower water and knew she was busy. Daryl went down by the water buckets outside and decided to skip his morning shower. He was clean enough, still smelling like spiced up deodorant and leather.
As Daryl made his way down his camp be heard weird noises that can be classified as moans by the stable. After a small glimpse of blonde hair and Glenn's hat on the floor, Daryl didn't need to step closer. Walking further back towards the wells, Daryl almost puked. "Blah" he stated seeing the two as little kids.
Beth and Glenn had been sitting on the bench outside the door now.
Daryl walked over with his crossbow towards his camp. Beth saw him walk by his tent, "Daryl, hey what're you up to?" Daryl grunted "Nothin'" as he walked into his tent. "What's with him?" Beth looked at Glenn sitting beside we on the bench leaning against the wall by the front door. "He's just being himself, he's not always a loud nice guy" Glenn explained. He placed a small kiss on Beth's cheek and walked down the RV to take watch.
Shane came outside with a small bag filled with pistols. He put them in the RV remembering that his gun training lessons had ended. That everyone proved how to use weapons, basically. Daryl Rick Maggie Andrea T Dale Hershel and Glenn had already mastered it. Lori had fully gotten it down yesterday with Carl and Carol Beth and Patricia had learnt more than enough.
"Reserves weapons and bullets" Shane said to Glenn in the RV. "Yeah, you really did a great job on teaching everyone" Glenn complimented. Shane chuckled and put the last of them away and sat across from Glenn on the table. Shane's hair hadn't changed from when Glenn first saw him, only he shaved his beard a bit. Glenn gulped and had to ask Shane, he wanted to know.
"Shane?" Glenn shakes. Shane was a big strong man, and the last thing Glenn wanted to do was get him mad. "What is it?" Shane stared deep into Glenn's eyes. "Otis, was it you?" Glenn shook a bit more scared Shane was about to break his nose. "I did, I had to or they'd kill both of us. Those jackasses in the woods" Shane promised. Glenn narrowed his eyes at Shane, and started to frown at a misunderstood Shane.
Shane trudged down the woods with Otis by the top of the cliff. "Take a head start, I'm gon' be trackin' that buck to the west and we'll get a track down" Otis said. Shane nodded and walked straight as Otis made a left and walked down training his rifle into blank space. Shane trained his gun on a figure slightly rising a bit to the distance and walked towards it with his Mosseberg. "Stop" A figure called behind him. A man with a Glock 17 training it on Shane stepped from the bushes. The fat man who ordered him to stop was holding a Winchester rifle with a scope.
Shane wasn't ready to give up his dominance, he kept his weapons on the man in front of him. "Nah' you're on my groups' territory so you just go on" Shane snarled. "I got a man in these woods so you best be on your way" Shane warned. "Yeah that fatass wouldn't catch up even if he heard you so drop it" The man called Tony said. "Funny, coming from you" Shane stared the fat man up and down and Dave chuckled soundly. Tony snarled and trained it higher. "Hey calm down, funny joke" Dave said.
"You take that man down then. The one by the shrubs down there. You do it and the thin lady and little boy stay alive with you" Dave requested. "Why? What're you doing this shit for? You can't leave me and my people be?" Shane angered. "We have a system, and orders so we follow up now there's those two options, unless you wanna get shot and then him" Dave said. "He'd taken a live of ours, by accident or not. He was ours" Dave teared. Shane narrowed his eyes at them, "Was it a walker?" He almost knew. "It doesn't matter but this is it. You do it or we do it. And then the rest" Dave finally said. A tearful Shane started to walk down west by the lake to Otis.
Glenn stared at Shane, he was still a bit glossy from his story. "I'm sorry Shane, I didn't know it was like that" Glenn took his hat off in respect. "They don't believe me. Rick thinks I'm a killer and Daryl wants me dead. Not to mention Hershel and the rest of the farm don't want me around after that" Shane added. "Listen Shane, I know you and I know you're telling the truth. So don't worry, it'll all be okay" Glenn promised.
Daryl saw Maggie through the screen of his tent. Her window directly in front of him, he saw her. She had a nice red bra on with white panties sticking her out. God she was sexy. Who knew Daryl would find a fine assed gal' with short hair and beautiful eyes to dig him when choices were so limited. To his surprise, she'd wanted him. Daryl had always had a thing for short haired girls.
Rick walked over to Hershel who was enjoying his coffee and biscuits. He sat down on the dining room table and had coffee prepared for him.
"This is delicious, who made this coffee?" Rick observed the coffee. Hershel laughed, "Was Patricia" He answered. "I didn't know coffee could taste so good!" Rick said in a bewildered tone. Like the taste was peculiar. In a good way. "Im glad you like it Rick" Hershel replied treating Rick like a four year old with his tone. Rick just shut up and drank more.
"Whatcha mean? I ain't movin' in for shit! Ain't got no place I bet" Daryl spat at Maggie by his tent. "Why not? There's the basement and my room" Maggie reminded him. Daryl took that as an invitation, "Yeah I'd rather not" Daryl answered uncomfortable. "Jerk" Maggie responded quickly. "Jerk? I'm bein' me and you like that" Daryl argued. Maggie put her hands on her hips and he loved that. "When you're being you, not a.." Her voice trailed off. Daryl raised an eyebrow at Maggie, "What? Say it" He stood and walked directly I front of her.
"Homo" Maggie said with a deep voice and laughed at a red faced Daryl. "Am I right?" Maggie teased. Daryl started ticking, "Yeah, if I didn't already screw ya' straight!" He countered. Maggie fell at the losing side now. "So you can screw me and fool around with me but you wouldn't stay in my room?" Maggie raised her eyebrows.
"Ugh, if yer gon' argue til' I drop then fine" Daryl threw his hands up. "Yay! Now we can cuddle and-" Maggie was cut off, "Yeah uh none o' that" He cut her off disgusted. She should've known him and how he was. She nodded and ran back in and was glad to get him to stay in for the winter. Daryl sighed and continued his packing. Man Maggie was something.
Shane and Glenn were now getting off watch as the afternoon truly hit. Andrea and Dale decided to take it from there. Shane stepped off the RV carefully holding his Mosseberg and Glenn handed Andrea the M21. Dale already had his rifle with him as they both sat on the folding chairs. Guns on their laps.
"Shane if you're telling the truth then we can clear your name" Glenn said walking down to the front. "I had to take Randall's life because it felt terrible that one of ours was taken. Had to be even" Shane growled. "Don't even sweat it, Beth and T already will believe me and as long as you know you didn't kill them, that's all that matters" Glenn finally said. Shane didn't kill Otis out of hatred, he had to. Or Rick would lose his family and Shane as well as Otis. He took one down instead of losing four including himself. It was a dilemma.
Rick took out the duffle bag of automatic weapons and put it spaciously into the closet. Daryl came in to meet Rick. "Walkers, way too many of em' but they're deep in there. Say about nightfall they'll stop by so we should hide inside" Daryl advised. Rick tensed a bit and straightened up again. "Yeah we'll have Dale and Andrea inform us, twenty minute warning" Rick answered stuffing the guns in the closet. They were stacked.
It was now sundown. The sun was barely up, ready to set. The estimated time for the walkers to hit was 9:30 and they were at 8:00 so if they were correct, they'd have an hour and ten minutes to do their days work. This time it had been T-Dog and Patricia on watch. She had learnt well and had been a fighter as well as the rest of the group.
Daryl had gotten all of his belongings packed up in the house and Rick's weapons were already packed. They were all holding weapons just in case the walkers show up to their party.
It was 8:30 and everyone was in the house gathered in the living room. They had made preparations with food packed up just in case they'd gotten overthrown. This was a big pack of walkers at least five hundred. "We forgot the gas tanks from the RV. For fuel, dammit" Andrea remembered and Dale sighed. "We've got time, it's only eight forty" Daryl reminded. "I'll go get em' a'right" Daryl stood as well as Patricia and Glenn. "Wha' am I too young go on alone?" Daryl looked around and everyone started to giggle and snicker.
"Nah, but why not take recruiters with ya'?" Rick teased at Daryl and he shrugged gesturing for them to come on. Daryl trained his crossbow into thin air as he exited the house looking around with Patricia and Glenn training their Glock 17s' to the woods. The three entered the RV and scavenged for other material after grabbing the fuel. It was pretty much empty, "Don' know why we got this big ass shit wit' us anymore anyhoo' " Daryl said to Patricia. "Just a big souvenir" Patricia tried and Daryl with Glenn chuckled.
The trio exited the RV and walked down towards the farmhouse with forty minutes left to spare. Daryl stepped on the first step when a bullet came right past his face to the person next to him. Glenn coughed and Daryl couldn't turn back but heard Glenn choke and assumed he was a dead duck. "GLENN! Patricia get ba-.." Daryl turned around to see Glenn holding Patricia's now lifeless body dragging her to the side to keep her safe. Tears welled in Glenn's eyes and Daryl was in disbelief. He didn't care of the bullets wheezing towards him. As Rick Shane and Hershel came out loaded Daryl spun out of thought. In a fit of rage, Daryl ran in to grab an
AR-15, the same weapon Rick held. Hershel grabbed an M4A1 and with tearful eyes started to fire at the woods towards the light along with Rick.
Shane and T grabbed GC36 paired. They went through the back by the wells and opened fire to the left flank to pin them. Daryl ran out into battle, he'd noticed Maggie was going to come out with Andrea and Dale to the fight. He wouldn't stop them but he couldn't let Maggie on the front. "Maggie!" He yelled through the screen door. "Yeah Daryl!?" She yelled. "Take your bedroom window, aerial view, GO!" Daryl ordered giving them the advantage. Maggie thought it was smart and ran up to her post with her M16 firing through her window to give them a new incentive.
Dale climbed his RV from the front hood and went prone with his Winchester having a clear shot. Andrea took the porch bench, blind firing at the four men. There were four gunners Daryl could tell from the same pattern they were using, trying to make them believe they had a militia. Daryl was in fury mode, "You four are out manned and out gunned!" Daryl yelled shooting and starting to approach.
"Shit this dude knows and he's coming in, they're comin" Roger harshly whispered to Dave. "Alright move west there's only two people we could move deeper from there" Dave motioned moving down Dave adjusted his silenced scoped AK74u. He fired at T who wouldn't give and Shane rushed to the back stairs, elevating to have a slight edge. "Guess he was right ain't no-" Jeff was cut off when a bullet from Shane's GC36 landed straight his temple. Quick to judge on Shane's shooting, Jeff fell victim to the trigger. "Thought the flank was covered!" Tony yelled between firing at the glass in the kitchen, breaking it and Roger approached closer with his M14. He'd gotten shot down the neck and collarbone by a hiding Maggie already on the second floor.
Roger struggled to move at all, being paralyzed he waited for his death but still breathed at the moment. Horrible. Rick and Daryl moved deeper into the battle where they approached the woods and stealthily paced forward. "A'right, I'm goin' down deeper and you head by the tree? It's the only chance we got to end this shit now" Daryl noticed it getting completely dark. "Was just gonna go with it" Rick answered, nodding at Daryl. Tony was the bigger of the two, Rick easily sensed that when fire was opened on him by Dale and Maggie mainly. Rick had the flank and shot him in the back of the head at least three times.
Daryl had just seen Dave and the group lost visual on the two men. Daryl was deep in from behind got pushed towards the tree dropping his Assault rifle and got one punch to the rib, staggering him. Dave was a built strong leader but Daryl undeniably was the toughest man out there. The anger welled up in Daryl and he swung a hard right hook at Dave's cheekbone, making the satisfying crack Daryl waited for. He stood over Dave and threw another right, this time at the bridge of his nose, which was now gushing blood. "Killed a woman who was more than family to us" Daryl growled roughly punching Dave across the face one more time, hard and mercilessly. He took out his knife and stood grabbing Dave and saw the first pack of walkers approaching. They were closing in. "You shit, you wouldn't-" Dave choked as Daryl stabbed him in the chest then throwing his lifeless body to the walkers.
He'd had to be ruthless to the man who killed a part of the family. Oh there was more than a capable number of walkers to take down the farm. They had to leave but they were scattered. The walkers gathered straight through the well to attack Shane and T who now ran to the front porch. They had Shane's Hyundai Tucson, Hershel's red old Ford SUV. Daryl had his bike in the back of his blue pickup. Then it was 2003 BMW M3 they'd found earlier.
Maggie saw between her own eyes that she'd lost her home. "We gotta go! Gather em! Get the others!" Yells coming from Rick then Shane came around. Maggie remained in the house while Hershel was protecting the house with his life. There was a roundup going on, Shane firing his Mosseberg at the dead by the front house near Carol and Andrea. They drove by to pick them up and it worked. Except Carol was held back and had run out of bullets when there were five walkers coming towards her at the stable. Glenn, with his loaded Glock, shot down three while Andrea shot two with her M1911 from the car.
Daryl was out just below Maggie. "They're gonna overrun it! Everyone's gon' leave you need to jump down I'll catch ya'!" Daryl yelled by the empty side. The front of the house was Hershel Beth Glenn and Carol trying to kill off the walkers. Rick had already run to the barn with Lori and Carl burning the barn and the walkers went down with it. Running to the red Ford, Rick grabbed a hold of Hershel, "I'm sorry Hershel but we've gotta go" Rick apologized. "It's my farm" Hershel cried. "Not anymore" Rick finalized, grabbing Hershel along with him towards the RV which was overrun.
He quickly led Hershel towards the red Ford truck and quickly got in before noticing Carl and Lori out of sight. "Lori! Carl!" Rick cried with Hershel beside him blasting off walkers with a wooden grip shotgun. He saw Lori and Carl separated from him again, this time her swollen belly was added to the picture. He averted his attention to see she was in safe hands with T-Dog and Andrea who had her and Carl between them as the four fired at the dead. Beth had been with Shane and now Carol. Dale was with Glenn and Sophia trying to gain on Carol and Shane.
"Highway!" Rick yelled out to the entire group at the top of his lungs. Everyone around him heard his voice. Except for Daryl busy taking the left side. "Maggie c'mon they're gainin' on us! Ya' gotta trust me, I'll catch ya' but now!" Daryl looked over his shoulder to see walkers coming in.
Maggie leaped from the window into Daryl's arms and he'd caught her with a grunt. He took two steps back holding her and took her hand to his pickup which had his bike.
Maggie ran along with Daryl to set off his motorcycle and leave his blue pick up free for the group. "T! Glenn!" Daryl called and an anonymous number of the group jumped in the pickup and drove off. Daryl and Maggie had followed.
Rick had been at the highway where the shit hit and was with Hershel. Shane pulled up on the scene with the Hyundai Tucson. Rick smiled and laughed when he saw the sound of Daryl's bike as well as his truck. There was the engine of the BMW M3 behind them. Rick walked over to his most loyal true partner, Daryl. Who had Maggie wrapped tightly around him not believing they were with each other. She was just squeezing him tightly to her. Rick and Daryl brought it in. Rick threw a hand out and Daryl took it, a brotherly handshake.
The other three cars had the rest of the group Rick was hoping to see. When Rick saw Lori and Carl step out with Andrea, he let them run to his embrace.
Night had hit and the group was glad to all be together. Rick had been camped out in the middle of the woods with the rest of the group plotting points on a map. They'd acquired it from Randall and his group. "If that was the last of their group then that's where we should head." Daryl realized. Lori was very pregnant and they had Hershel as well as Carl and Sophia to be taken care of.
"That's right, if they were protected and weren't recruiters then they have a stable conditioned area and weapons. If it seems weary, we go through a sweep, just get everything" Rick stated. They weren't in bad condition but they could use supplies.
Rick and the group went down the same garbage alley and snuck right to the front of the first of the two houses. Shane busted down the door and trained his weapon on the first flight of stairs. T-Dog and Dale followed shortly after to find no sign of walkers. Daryl and Rick walked through its side gate to find nothing in the backyard. Walking into the bathroom and opening the first two cabinets, Shane found painkillers,antibiotics, and cigarettes. He and the rest walked outside and took out the items. Daryl and Rick showed right then and there. Shane looked at the pack of cigarettes and tossed it to Daryl who chuckled and placed it in his pocket.
"Good thang' I brought a lighter" he turned around. They found nothing much in the other houses' floors. Rick and Daryl hit the basement to find two duffle bags. They held assault rifles. Eight, in the first one there were 5. An AK47, P90, M4A1 and M27. The other bag held a PDW, M16, and an Uzi. "Useful" Rick said placing them in his own duffle bag. Weapons like these were more than useful in when they could encounter anything outside. Walking outside, Rick threw Shane the keys to start up the Hyundai. Shane did so and with that everyone packed up their things in the car.
What Maggie hoped for came true, there wasn't enough space in Hershel's truck. "Maggie" Daryl called grinning. She smiled widely and pranced to his side then stepping behind, straddling the seat. Maggie wrapped her arms around Daryl's torso giving him a quick squeeze then resting her head on his back. "There a reason why you wanted me?" Maggie whispered. "A friend in need is a friend indeed" Daryl quoted. She could tell he had that beautiful but dreading smirk on his face. Maggie pinched Daryl's chest. He coughed out. "Could use good company" Daryl admitted. "Me too" Maggie whispered again holding him happily.
"Where are we going?"Dale asked Rick beside him. "Nearest exit and down a clear highway. Maybe we'll find a new place away from this" Rick looked into the rear view.
With Daryl at the front of the group, they'd found a route. It was Route 7 and the group had entered driving down a clear path.
That's my way of rapping up season 2 ! I'm not planning on doing the prison stuff. Instead of how they head east to Washington, I was thinking of north but still in the south. We'll see how it plays out. Enjoy!
