Chapter 8

Sam could feel her heart pounding against her chest, everything was in slow motion. Women and children were running around, their screams muffled by the sound of gun fire; everything had turned chaotic in a matter of minutes. And that's when she felt it; Dave was standing behind Sam with the tip of his gun to the back of her head. Sams froze, unable to move as she saw in her peripheral vision Daryl running towards her, shooting down Walkers and Dave's men with his cross bow trying to get to her. Sam slightly turned around at Dave's command, looking him straight in the eyes as he said something which she didn't quite hear then without a second hesitation he pulled the trigger.

A few hours earlier...

"I underestimated the redneck"
Dave said under his breath as his men rallied against the opening door of the warehouse, their guns aimed and ready to fire as soon as Dave gave the word.
The door burst open revealing Randal with his arms tied in front of him with Rick, Shane, Glen, T Dog and of course Daryl with their weapons also drawn. The two groups of men stood off, waiting for the other to strike first when Dave called for his men to stand down, moving into plan view.
"What do we have here? Randal, we were wonderin' where you got too" He said, making out they had been worried about the kids where abouts. Rick then cleared his throat, his gun still aimed in front of him
"We have one of yours, and now give ours back" He said scanning the room and his eyes fell on Sam as she stood behind Dave and next to her sister who was still being held by Tony.
Shane did a double take, looking back at Rick "These guys ain't interested in a trade; they'll kill us as soon as our backs turned..."
Dave grinned; raising his eyebrow looking amused "I think you have the wrong idea mate" He said turning with his arm out reached for Sam to join him.
"Sam is capable of leaving us if she wanted..." The tone in his voice said something different and they all knew it as Sam rested next to Dave "Now if you want to leave, your more than welcome"
He said cunningly at Sam, she knew that wasn't the case. Randal fell to the floor with a thud as Daryl let go of him, moving towards Sam as she left Dave's side to go to them. Both groups of men tightened their grip on their weapons, re positioning for the kill when Dave shook his head at his own, watching Sam meet Daryl.

"I'm staying here" Sam spoke loudly and clear so all could hear, even the women and children who were now shuffled together at the back of the warehouse.
Daryl lowered his cross bow immediately as he heard those words leave her mouth "What are ya on bout? You ain't stayin' here!" he hissed under his breath "I know what they do to women, your comin' back with us!"
Sam met his eye and he knew there was something else she wanted to say, needed to say...
"He has my sister" Sam replied in a soft tone, Daryl leaning in closer so he could make it out properly "I know what they do and that's why I have to stay here. I can't leave her again"
Daryl let this sink in; Sam thought her sister was dead, but she was in fact alive and being kept here. He said nothing as they peered into each other's eyes and heard Dave speak "Looks as though you guys came here for no reason."
Shane spoke up "Seems we did" he shared a harsh look at Sam who kept her eyes on Daryl "Well then..." Rick intertwined but Dave interrupted "Not so fast... he said moving forward and grabbed Sam back from Daryl
"You guys know where we are now... we can't... "he paused for a moment then a smile crept up on his face "just left you leave" The men had their guns aimed, they were surrounded and gave in, knowing they had no other choice.

After being frisked for weapons, they were thrown into a cell for the time being. Sam left her sister's side as Dave dragged his men away from the cell to discuss what they were going to do. Daryl watched Sam approach them looking back and forth between the sisters, he'd guessed Lisa had been younger but in fact by the looks of it she was a few years older than Sam – splitting image expect for the fact that Lisa's hair was brunette and Sam was blonde but both was long and wavy. Lisa was also pregnant, only a few months along, and it made Daryl sick in the stomach – he knew what these men did.
Sam could see the hurt in Daryl's eyes as she stood in front of him, fidgeting with her hands, she felt utterly helpless in this moment and couldn't stop thinking about what she was sacrificing to save her sister... her blood... she knew she had to stay here... she had to...

Sam felt the stares of hatred radiating from Shane who was watching them in the corner, while Rick and T Dog were trying to muster up a plan while Glenn scoped out the warehouse.
"How can ya stay here?" Daryl said in a hushed tone finally which broke the silence between them. Sam looked down at the ground as she placed her hands onto the metal bars separating her from the boys who had come to rescue her.
"I told you before, my sister is alive and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe" Sam paused looking up into Daryl's eyes
"You of all people should know why I'm doing this. What if you were in my position with Merle" "Don't bring him into this!" Daryl scoffed trying not to raise his voice.
Sam took in the faces of the men looking back at her then turned to where her sister was in the distance
"I can't leave her again Daryl..." she said moving her hand over his which was pressed up against the bar also "But you have to leave. They will kill you".
Daryl felt Sam slide something into his hand before she turned away as Dave called for her. He then appeared next to Sam, putting his hand around her waist and pulled her in closer which made Daryl cringe.
"You guys have a good night, I know I will" He said grabbing Sam's wrist and taking her up into his room. Once they were out of sight, Daryl looked down into his hand and his eyes lit up – it was key.

Sam sat down on the side of the bed and kept her eyes to the floor as Dave took off his shirt. He cupped her chin, pulling her face upwards so he was looking into her eyes
"I always knew we were meant to be, and this just proves it - we found our way back to each other" He said leaning himself down onto her body and began to kiss her while his hand moved up her thigh.

While Dave slept next to Sam she peered up at the ceiling above her reliving the moments that had just passed. She so desperately wanted to scream out for help, for anyone to save her but no one would have come. Sam sat herself up throwing on the white lacy dress she had been given to wear and crept quietly out of the room. It must have been just before dawn because the sun had only just began to rise and pretty much everyone was fast asleep, except for 2 or 3 men who were on watch around the warehouse.

Lisa leapt up from her sleep, instinctively going throwing her arms out to protect the two children who still slept next to her "It's me" Sam whispered as she sat down next to her older sister.
Lisa ran her hand over Claire's head and she wiggled in her sleep while Tom kept an arm around his baby sister's body. Sam watched the way her older sister cared for the two orphans, making her smile.
"Who would've known you to be the mothering type" Sam said jokingly, making Lisa giggle also. Lisa had been the older, mischievous sister who was always more worried about all her men problems, while Sam had been the more responsible sister who babysat the neighbours kids and had her children's names picked out from an early age. The sisters stopped reminiscing as Lisa stroked her stomach and the smile left her face as she continued to watch the brother and sister sleeping.
"We found them in a grocery store by themselves hiding in the junk food section..." Lisa started to explain but then stopped thinking about what she was about to say
"This is no life for a child... any child..." Lisa's eyes met Sams giving her a pleading look and Sam knew what Lisa was going to say.
"I'm not leaving you here..." Lisa interrupted "You've obviously found yourself a good group..." Lisa glanced over at the cell which was unusually quiet and then back to Sam "... And a good man".
Sam's nose crinkled with confusion and she shook her head "No... I was wrong about Shane..."
Lisa half laughed amused by her little sister's blindness
"No... the one with the cross bow" Lisa corrected her and Sam just sat in silence "I saw the way he was looking at you when you spoke to him, he obviously cares about you... cares so much that he risked his own life and the others to come and save you..."

Sam's voice was cut off from yelling which came from the cells and she stood up automatically – the cell door was open and she smiled to herself. Women and children began waking up around them as the noise became louder and louder and soon enough Dave was awake, telling his men to shoot their prisoners.
Panic set in as guns yet again began firing and then there were more noises coming from outside the warehouse – grunting and snarling – the noise had attracted Walkers.
Sam sprung into action, taking the little girls hand as Tom the older brother helped Lisa to her feet.
"We gotta get out of here!" Sam heard Glenn yelling over the top of everything to the other guys. There was a loud noise, which brought everyone's attention to the front door of the warehouse where Walkers came running through, latching onto whomever they could. Lisa told Tom to take his sisters hand, while Sam stood in shock as everything around her fell apart. Lisa pushed her sister in the back, making her snap out of it
"Head for the door, it's the only way out!"

Some of Dave's men were falling back, grabbing children and women who were falling behind and ran for the back exit while Rick and the others continued fighting. Glenn called out for Sam, waving his arms in the air and the four of them began running. Lisa clutched at her stomach, making her fall behind and Sam stopped
"Save the kids!" Lisa yelled so Sam obeyed, running with the kids to Glenn where Daryl was now standing with his cross bow in his hand shooting at any walker or other man that came at them.
"Good you're ere, now let's get the others n go!" Daryl said taking Sam by the arm who retracted, instead she put the little girl Claire into Daryl's free arm and he looked bewildered.
"What are ya doin?" he asked looking from the terrified young child to Sam as she backed off, running back to her sister. Glenn shrugged quickly before taking out a Walker with his knife as he came up behind him and pushed Tom against him, with his knife up to protect them.
"What is she doing?!" Glenn yelled anxiously, waiting for the others to join them. Daryl looked off into the distance where Sam had run off into and saw her sister.
Daryl gently put the girl down with Glenn and ordered him to get the kids and whoever else out, he'd go get Sam.

"What's happening?! Are you alright?!" Sam took her sisters arm, trying to get her to move "The baby, it was kicking..." she answered with no emotion and that's when Sam felt it. The tip of a gun pointed at the back of her head and a voice she would never like to hear again spoke. Sam let go of her sister, slowly turning around to see Dave.
"I told ya what would happen... "
Sam's mind was racing; she saw Daryl running towards her but her eyes were locked on the gun in her face... "If they tried to take ya away from me..."
Dave pulled back the trigger, still aimed at Sam while Lisa stood next to her, helpless and screaming. Sam closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the fatal shot...

BANG

Sam opened her eyes at Dave, his gun was aimed next to her, smoke coming from it.

"NOOOOOO!"

Lisa lay on the ground in a pool of blood, with a gunshot to her head. Sam felt arms around her torso as her legs gave way, about to collapse to the ground. Daryl was pulling Sam away from Lisa's lifeless body, her cries echoing against the gunfire and screams which were still playing out around them.
Dave smirked to himself lowering his weapon as Daryl glanced up at him; his priority right now was to get Sam out of there alive.
"Let her go, she's gone"
Sam heard Daryl yell at her but she ignored it, her grief too much for her as he got her to her feet, dragging behind him as he ran for the door. Sam took once last look at her sisters body before a flock of Walker ascended on to it, and then she saw Dave running towards the back exit with his men. He turned around and their eyes met once again, and Sam swore it wouldn't be the last time; he would pay for what he'd done.

Glenn was beeping the car horn at Daryl and Sam as they ran towards the car, hopping into the back seat.
"GO, GO, GO!" Daryl yelled once he slammed the passenger door shut. Rick sat next to Glenn while Daryl saw T-Dog and Shane in the other vehicle besides them, driving out of the now Walker red zone. The two little kids were nuzzled together petrified on the other side of Sam while she sat in a state of silence.

Once they made it back to the farm, Shane and T – Dog were the first to get out of their cars and the rest of the group had ran over to them from the farm house and their camp site. Daryl held Sam as she got out of the car as if she would break any minute, but before he could respond Shane was in their face

"Did ya tell them were our camp was..." He waited for an answer but Sam said nothing. Shane looked down at the ground with his hands on his hips "we risked all our lives to save yours... and if ya told them where we're at..." Shane paused gritting his teeth, looking from Rick and Glenn to Carol, Lori and Andrea then back to Sam" Then you just started a war".

Next time...

Shane thinks Sam has brought War upon his group
and begins to plan for an attack.

and

Sam cuts herself off from the group,
will Daryl be able to save her from herself?
