We woke up to the sound of people yelling. “Well I guess that means they’ve just told Daryl that Merle’s handcuffed to a roof.” I said sitting up and wiping the sleep from my eyes. “That or the camp is being attacked by zombies.... either way we should probably go see what all the fuss is.” Anna said already getting dressed. We soon followed the noise to find to find the group, including Daryl by the RV just as T-dog was explaining how he’s chained the door to the roof. I raised an eye brow to Anna as we listened and whispered “Geeks? Really? That’s what these guys call them? I kind of feel insulted” Anna stifled a laugh with her hands. As I was watching I noticed that Daryl looked upset... like about to cry upset and my heart ached for him, I couldn’t even imagine what it must feel like for him....it had seemed like they only really had each other left, it would be like me finding out that it was Anna on that roof. I waited till Daryl had started preparing for the run to bring Merle back before I went over to him. “Hey...I’m sure he’ll be fine.” I said softly reaching to touch him on the arm but deciding better of it. “He’s a tough guy so one night on a roof won’t kill him... look me and Anna are here if you need anything...”I continued. He opened his mouth but before he could say anything I added “not that you will but the offers there anyways.” I finished giving him a small smile and then left him to it. Me and Anna went back to our tent determined that today was the day we where gonna attempt to do clothes washing by hand, because we knew that if we didn’t we were just gonna spend the day worrying. It had been Carol who’d told us we could join some of the other girls down by the lake.
We headed down to the lake once we’d gathered our things. Amy and Carol were already getting started when we arrived. “So I have 2 buckets and a mountain of dirty clothes.” I said dumping the stuff on the ground. “Carol gave a small smile and said “well your gonna need these....” she said handing me and Anna a wash board and scrubbing brush. I looked at the wash board like it was some alien device while I said “I didn’t even know you could still find these...” Anna and Amy laughed. Pretty soon we got the hang of it and once the rest of the girls on wash duty joined us we were pros. It was actually quite nice to be helping out with others, the sun was beaming and the conversation was light hearted but I was getting thirsty “hey... I’m gonna go and get a drink anyone else want one?” I asked rising they shuck their heads some mumbling no thanks. “I’ll come with... I could do with stretching my legs a bit.” Anna said joining me. “Kay then back in a min...” I said as we left. As we were heading back up to the camp we saw Laurie coming in the opposite direction “hey girls, have you seen Carl, I asked Dale and he said he was down here.” She said somewhere between panicked and annoyed. “Yer he’s just over there with Shane.” I said pointing in their direction. “Thanks.” Laurie said as she carried on in the direction I’d pointed.
Once we’d got our drinks we headed back, as we were coming down to the lake we heard shouting... oh shit I thought running down the makeshift path as fast as I could with Anna close behind. We arrived to find Shane sitting on top of Ed punching the shit out of him. We ran to the girls to find out what had happened. Anna pulled Carol to her “don’t look... look at me ok?” she said holding Carol’s chin. “Your alright it’s just a small cut.” She said cleaning Carol’s lip with the edge of her top. “But Ed....” Carol whimpered. “I know...” Anna said letting go of her so she could run to Ed who was now lying on the ground bloody and barely conscious. “Looks like the rumours were right...” Anna said low so only I could hear and trying to keep a grip on her temper. “Yep...” I nodded gritting my teeth. “But Shane may have just made it worse... Coz you know who’s gonna pay for that.” I continued. “I know” said Anna a hint of sadness tainting her anger now. “Well looks like we’ll need to have a talk with Carol.... show her she’s not alone... you know the usual....” I said feeling a deep buried anger and sorrow bubble up. “But there’s nothing we can do about it for now... we might as well help her by finishing off all this washing.” I said rolling my sleeves up and sitting back down beside the lake.
Once we’d finished doing the rest of the washing our arms were aching....”Jesus... we’re gonna have muscles like pop-eye if we carry on doing that!” I complained rubbing my sore muscles when we reached the tent. “Tell me about it... I don’t know about you but I need a nap after all that.” Anna said in agreement dropping face first on to her bed. “Oh woman, sometimes I think you’re a genius...” I said dropping to my own bed. “Only sometimes?” she joked. We fell asleep almost instantly and woke up when it was dark to the sounds of screaming. “Oh fuck.” I said jumping off the bed and grabbing my Bowie knife and my Smith and Wesson 38 with silencer and a few rounds of ammo to go with it. “Come on! “ I called to Anna who had grabbed the machete that she kept by her bed along with the AR-15 rifle with silencer from her bag. We headed for the RV Anna covering our right and behind, me covering the front and left picking off zombies as we went as fast and as carefully as we could. We arrived at the RV just in time to see Rick, Daryl, T-Dog and Glenn show up like they were the bloody cavalry. “Everyone alright?” I asked and then spotted Andrea crying over Amy’s body. “Oh god...” I let the words tumble from my lips and covered my mouth with my hand.
Sometime after we all headed back to our tents, more in a state of shock than anything else. I knew that Anna was just as shaken up as me so I held her in my arms and she held me as we sat by our fire. Amy’s death had stuck home with us, she’d been a sweet girl and didn’t deserve what had happened to her, plus it could have easily have been Anna or me in her place. The adrenalin was still pumping through our veins, so we knew we weren’t going to get much sleep tonight and from the way Daryl was still up sitting in his usual place on the opposite side of the fire to us, I guessed we weren’t the only ones. We kept our weapons close to hand that night. “Where’s Merle?” Anna asked in barely more than a whisper. “I don’t know. We couldn’t find him.” Daryl said with barely any emotion but the way he rubbed his hand across his eyes gave him away. “Fuck...” I said softly “I’m so sorry, Hun.” “Well he aint dead if that’s what you’re sayin’.” He snapped his temper flaring up again. “No that’s not...” I started still remaining calm I’d realised that this was just his way of dealing with things. “You know what, hell with ya’ll! I’m outta here.” He finished storming off into the night. Me and Anna sat there, most of the time in silence until the sun started to come up, bringing with it a new day.
