Chapter 21

Shane led Rick and Glenn through the field to approach the walker. Rick jogged up alongside Shane looking confused, "Is that Daryl?" Shane's heart leapt into his throat when Rick asked that. "No it can't be Daryl. He wouldn't have died," Shane replied softly. Rick nodded, "Shane that really looks like Daryl." They approached the walker and Shane pointed his gun at its head. The walker glared at him and then said, "You gonna shoot me?" Shane sighed and put the gun away, "Why do you look like you turned into a walker, Daryl?" Daryl smiled slightly, "I had a slight issue with a hill, which led to an arrow issue, an unconscious problem, and then finally a bit of walker trouble to top it off." Rick jumped, "You got bit?" Daryl shook his head, "No, no, I killed the stupid things but you aren't going to look sanitary after doing that." Glenn grinned, "Point there." Shane nodded, "Alright let's head back." The three men turned when a gunshot rang out. "What the hell?" Glenn screamed. Shane spun and saw Daryl lying on the ground groaning. "No! No!" Rick was shouting as he and Shane bent down to lift the unconscious kid up. "Who the hell is shooting at us?" Glenn asked angrily. Shane shook his head, "There's no one around it had to be someone from our….. shit." Rick looked at Shane, "What?" Shane groaned, "Freakin Andrea said she'd cover us. She probably decided she wanted to go all hero on us and shoot the 'walker.'" Glenn started steadily towards the camp, "I'll yell at her." Shane nodded, "From me too please."

They dragged Daryl back to camp as Hershel came running over, "What happened? We heard shooting and then saw you guys." Shane nodded towards Andrea, "She went all hero on us and shot Daryl by accident." Hershel looked at Daryl, "Just scraped his head. As soon as he's awake he'll be fine. Let me just stitch his head real fast." Shane and Rick carried Daryl behind Hershel towards an open part of camp. They laid him down and then Rick went off to continue yelling at Andrea with Glenn. Shane sat down by Daryl and waited for Hershel to stitch the scratch. Hershel came out of his tent and set to work.

It only took him a half hour to seal the cut and by then Daryl was waking up. Hershel left as the kid woke up. "Hey Shane, I'm seeing stuff," the kid said. Shane looked at him questioningly, "What?" Daryl smiled slightly, "I mean I swear I saw someone nail me in the head with a bullet in the head earlier today but I feel fine." Shane shook his head, "You did get shot. In the head. By Andrea." Daryl shrugged, "Whatever. I just hope she apologizes for almost killing me." Shane nodded, "She will." He tossed Daryl a towel, "Get some of that blood off will you?" Daryl shook his head, "Nah I like it." "No. Do it," Shane ordered. Daryl rolled his eyes but wiped the blood off of his face and arms. Shane glanced at him, "What happened to your side?" Daryl shrugged, "I fell." Shane glared at him, "Yes. Because falling cuts through your body." Daryl looked away, "Ok. I was walking with my crossbow and I tripped on a rock or something and then I fell. When I fell I ended up going down a hill and an arrow from my crossbow slipped and hit me in the side." Shane grabbed a bandage for him and wrapped it around his side. Daryl made some sarcastic remark to him about not wanting to get wrapped up and thrown in a tomb like a mummy but Shane ignored him. Daryl finally let him finish his job. "It wasn't that deep of a cut. You could've left it." Shane shook his head, "Nope." Daryl stood up and moved over to his tent where he put his crossbow inside and then went in himself. Shane went over to Glenn who was staring out at the fields, "Where did Andrea go?" Glenn shrugged, "I think she went to the RV."

Shane nodded and jogged over, "Andrea? Hey come out here." The blonde walked out of the RV, "What do you want Shane?" "I don't believe you've apologized to the kid you almost killed earlier," Shane said coldly. Andrea glanced towards Daryl's tent, "I don't think he wants to talk to me." Shane shook his head, "Nope he specifically requested you come talk to him." Daryl came crawling out of his tent a second later and Andrea walked over. Shane followed but kept his distance. "Daryl, I'm really sorry about shooting you. I thought that I could take care of the walker," Andrea said. Daryl shook his head, "Nah, it's alright. I'm ok." Andrea turned to leave but Daryl wasn't done. "But hey, shoot me again? Best pray I'm dead," the kid said softly. Andrea turned to say something, thought better of it, and hurried off. Shane walked up, "That wasn't very nice." Daryl shrugged, "So? I don't want to get shot again." Shane nodded, "Yea I know, but threats?" Daryl grinned, "One thing I'm good at." "Yea alright. Then you keep threatening people to get your way and you'll make friends," Shane said sarcastically. Daryl grinned, "Glad we see eye to eye brother." The kid turned away and headed over to talk with Glenn. Shane watched him go, Daryl's last words zipping through his head. 'Glad we see eye to eye brother.' Did Daryl consider really consider him as in an older brother now or was that term just used to display similarity? He didn't know what to think of it. Why was Daryl so confusing? He headed towards Daryl and Glenn who were laughing about something but didn't get too far.

Rick was yelling from the tree, "Lots of walkers! Lots of walkers! Everyone get ready! Oh yea and this time it ISN'T Daryl." A gunshot rang out and Daryl was already racing across camp to grab his crossbow and join. Shane tossed Glenn a shotgun from his truck and then grabbed his own. Daryl had hit the tree and was racing into the field. Rick was following him and Shane saw Maggie run from her tent to join them. Glenn was next to him but he suddenly stopped, "Oh my god!" Shane looked up as Daryl yelled, "Hurry guys!" There must have been about thirty to forty walkers. "This is going to be interesting," Shane said quietly as he and Glenn hit the field. Daryl shot an arrow into a walker's head and ducked as Shane shot a bullet over his head. Rick was blasting his pistols into the walkers' heads as Glenn and Maggie got side angles for shooting. Shane kept shooting as more walkers continued surging forward.

Daryl appeared beside him, "Where the hell do these hordes come from? Do they like talk with each other?" The younger kid shot another walker. Shane shrugged as he blasted a head, "I have no idea. Why don't you ask them?" Daryl shrugged, "Couldn't hurt to try." The kid grinned slightly as he grabbed a walker and slammed a knife into the top of its head. Then he leaned down to the walker's ear and yelled, "My friend wants to know how you guys can form these groups!" Shane rolled his eyes and shot down a few more walkers. Daryl moved towards the middle of the horde and slashed at a few more walkers. Rick was moving to help Glenn and Maggie who had gotten cornered by a few walkers. Shane shot off two more walkers before he heard a noise behind him.

He turned just in time to block a swipe from a walker. The thing was too close so he couldn't get a good shot so he backed up a bit but another one came from a different way. He turned and shot the first one but the new one tackled him to the ground. Shane growled as the thing laid on him, trying to bite him. The walker wasn't a nice normal sized one either. It probably had gone through a few too many boxes of Twinkies in its past life. He desperately pushed against the walker, his gun blocking its jaws from getting to his throat. The walker snapped at him and he had a feeling he wouldn't be getting out of this. He glanced around. Rick was taking down walkers but hadn't noticed Shane. Glenn and Maggie were pinned in a corner but seemed to be ok. Daryl was the closest but he was surrounded with walkers and wouldn't make it in time. Shane made one last desperate push at the walker before the gun got ripped out of his hands. "Oh shit," he muttered as the walker dove down on him.

Cliffhanger? I guess. Yes. Ok. Reviews are welcome! Thanks for reading!
