Hi everybody! Sorry I left you all hanging for so long, I was having a mad case of writer's block, but I finally cured it! Here is the long awaited chapter! I'm got my wisdom teeth pulled a couple days ago, so please leave reviews so I'll have something to smile over! :)
WARNING: GRUESOME INTENSITY AND VIOLENCE!
Chapter Sixty Six: Dias De Los Muertos, Part Two
Before she could announce the big reveal, they were interrupted by a loud crashing sound, followed by strident screams of panic with the ground shaking, causing them both to fall to their knees. The alarm systems piercing through the air with "Bad Moon Rising" by Mourning Ritual. Rick and Delilah barely got a chance to look at each other in bewilderment as complete and utter pandemonium ensued.
"SOS! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"
Madison ran in with Maggie, Glenn, and Sasha behind her. "Delilah, we're under fire!"
The ground continued to shake as Rick and Delilah scrambled to their feet, adrenaline pumping viciously through their veins, overtaken by the rising franticness.
"Who is it?! What happened?!"
"A steam roller completely rolled through the gates and over the prison workers! There's a swarm of walkers coming in behind them, we're taking them out as quickly as we can, but I don't know if we're overpowered or not. We may have to evacuate!"
Delilah shook her head, securing her mandala baton. "NO! That's not an option!"
Rick tried to reason with her. "Delilah-"
"I said no! We worked too hard, this place is our home, and these invaders are not going to win! We're gonna kill them all! GO! GO! GO! WE NEED EVERY AVAILABLE BODY, NOW!"
There wasn't a chance in hell that she would let anybody take over, not after what she had gone through to get Jellbany and make it what it was today.
"Delilah!-"
Except before Rick was able to attempt again, a yellow steam roller burst through the wall of Inventory Range, plowing through the Jelly Belly machines and sending the group to their knees. Dust and debris were flying everywhere, along with numerous supplies and weapons crashing to the ground. Rick saw a man with long, greasy hair and a beard driving it, laughing his head off as he drove through the other wall.
"Fuck! He's headed straight for the solar plant!"
Delilah raised her arm with her boomerang in hand, but Rick threw it down.
"No, it'll never land in time!"
"I've got it!"
Glenn ran off as fast as he could, pistol in hand, getting a few yards ahead of the steamroller. After evening his shot, he fired off, smiling to himself when the bullet went straight through the driver's head. Sprinting forward, Glenn was able to climb up the steamroller, throw the now dead driver out, and remove the keys.
"I stopped the steamroller, killed the driver!" Glenn hollered as he ran back.
"Good, now we gotta kill the rest! Come on!"
They ran out to see people wailing, only for them to be taken down by mini-herds of walkers. Abraham, Rosita, Eugene, Tyreese and Bob were shooting at the incoming walkers while Avery and Michonne chopped them up left and right with their respective machete and katana.
The nearly finished gate was now destroyed and in shambles, the lifeless bodies of their fellow comrades scattered around it while the fire truck, two of the Jelly Belly semis, and the Cadillac hybrid were totaled. There was no time to cry, only to fight. Delilah let out an aggravated growl as she ran forward, spinning round and round until the walkers surrounding her were headless, then threw her boomerang blade, decapitating some more. She looked around, searching for her sister and Billy, but saw Daryl and Carol, calling out to them instead.
"Carol! Easy Rider! Get the flamethrowers, they'll be much faster!"
"Right!" Carol nodded back as she and Daryl ran to Inventory Range.
It was now raining heavily, making it even harder to see as endless shots were fired. Luckily, the fire from the flamewands was powerful enough to take out the walkers, but there was still the worry of being outnumbered. They had to do everything to drown out the sounds of screams from those who they had been too late to save, but an earsplitting sound brought everything to a halt.
"Holy fucking shit!"
Delilah and the others looked up to see an excavator rolling through and stopping, and what happened next was something that one had to see to believe. The excavator crane was raised as high as it could before opening, walkers began rapidly pouring down from it.
"COVER AND DUCK!"
They all broke apart, running every which to avoid the downfall of what was probably a hundred gurgling reanimated corpses, blood and guts splattering everywhere when they hit the ground, furthering the smell of rotten carcasses.
"Help! I can't see a damn thing!" Eugene was covered head to toe, a literal bloodbath, desperately trying to wipe himself off with the rain water while walking around in circles of confusion. Mac managed to break into the excavator, and after a struggle, snapped the driver's neck before tossing him to ground and stomping on his head.
A piercing scream rang through the air as two walkers bit into the flesh of Tyreese's arm.
"Ty!" Michonne ran over, killing the walkers and just barely catching him in her arms.
Rick and Delilah were about to run to them, only to be stopped by another scream. Sasha was laying on the ground, having slipped, wincing in pain as she clutched onto her ankle.
"My ankle! I twisted it! I'm coming, Ty!" She tried to get up, but continued to moan in agony, tears springing to her eyes over the sharpness.
Madison turned back to Rick and Delilah. "I've got it handled! Take care of Tyreese!"
Tyreese was laying on the ground, almost in a daze as dark blood gushed out of his arm.
"We gotta chop it off!"
"Don't worry, I've got it! Hold onto his arm!"
Rick held onto his arm as Michone quickly lowered her katana. Delilah was unable to look as Tyreese' arm was now in Rick's hand, it was enough to make her nauseous.
"He has to be stitched up! Abraham, help!"
As Abraham ran over, another scream stopped them. They all looked over to see Eugene near the front of the gate and on the ground, a group of ten walkers devouring him in every which way, his fingers bleeding as he tried to grasp the ground to prevent from being further pulled in.
"Eugene!" Tara and Rosita tried to run towards him, only for Abraham to take them both under each arm.
"Abraham, let me go, now!" Rosita punched him in the side, frantically trying to squirm out of his hold. Even though Eugene had royally deceived them, a part of Rosita still cared about him. That and he really didn't deserve such a horrific death.
"You go there and you die!" They watched helplessly as Eugene's jaw was ripped off his face whilst he continued screaming, his body nourishing the undead against his will. "He's too late, Rosie. There's too many of these fuckers! We gotta kill 'em all to survive! We will take the world back!"
Setting the girls down, Sargent Bad Ass sprinted forward, shooting once more at the walkers. Tara and Rosita, although shaken up, quickly followed his lead. Nothing was stopping anybody. They had all been fighters since the world ended, and they'd continue to be fighters or die trying.
"Hang on, man! Hang on!" Rick shouted to Tyreese, shaking him, but it was too late. Gripping Michonne's hand with his now one hand, something of a small smile appeared on Tyreese' face, his eyes darkened as they closed one final time, accepting his accidental faith.
Michonne bowed her head, trying her best to conceal her tears, as did Delilah. Even though she and Tyresse had their ups and downs more times than not, Delilah still thought he was a good man, he reminded her of a big teddy bear. She glanced over at Sasha, who had been watching the whole scene with Madison and began wailing at the look on Delilah's face, knowing that her big brother, the last link she had to the world before the turn, was now gone.
"Dad!"
Rick and Delilah looked over to see Carl, Brock, Jason, Beth, and Scott running forward with their weapons in hand, not hesitating to shoot at the walkers. After the farm and prison being overrun, Carl and Beth knew how to handle themselves in this situation.
"Where's your sister?!" Rick shouted after they finished shooting at the oncoming walkers.
"She's safe, she's still in the nursery, so are the twins!"
"What about Billy and Christine?!"
Carl shook his head. "I didn't see them!"
It was then that Delilah realized that Lizzie and Mika were on the other side of Leisure Zone. They didn't have any weapons, she had to find them and get them to safety. Lizzie couldn't be trusted around the walkers, but poor little…
"Mika…" Delilah said under her breath. Rick looked over to see her running off.
"Delilah!"
She turned around, still running. "I'll be right back! I have to get Lizzie and Mika inside!" That was the only thing she cared about, especially since Lizzie wasn't all right in the head.
When Delilah got back to the spot the sisters were having their tea party, she stopped in her tracks, her mouth agape. Lizzie was nowhere to be found, but Mika was laying on the picnic blanket, lifeless.
A gagging sound diverted her attention, recognizing it as Prudence, the elderly woman that watched the kids, who was now turned into a walker. Delilah ran forward and bashed her head in before racing back to Mika. Her neck and parts of her face were speckled with blood, but Delilah couldn't find where she had been stabbed. Not even twenty minutes ago, the little girl had hugged her in glee, and now she was dead. Kind, innocent little Mika. Delilah couldn't control her tears as she fell to her knees over the young girl's body, feeling so helpless and guilty.
"Mika, I'm so sorry, sunflower."
"It's ok, Delilah."
A familiar voice spoke from behind them. Delilah turned around to see it was Lizzie, her sleeve and forearm stained red, as was the knife she was holding, a hopeful look on her face. Rage filled Delilah as she stood up, darkening her eyes at the young girl.
"What did you do?"
Lizzie's smile never faded as she spoke. "I had to show you I was right, and now I can. I didn't hurt her brain, you'll see. I'm not the only one who has something to show you."
Delilah's eyes widened in shock and her heart stopped beating for a second, wanting to be in pure denial, but knowing this was the truth as a man popped out from behind the corner.
"Tyler?!"
He walked with a limp now, his face covered in scars from Rick's beating, but it was definitely Tyler.
"That's right, Lila Loo. I'm back. Then again, thanks to Lizzie here, I never really left." He approached her, putting his hand on Lizzie's shoulder as he shot Delilah a malicious smirk.
Jellbany Entrance, October 1st, 9:30 pm
"Tyler, wait! Don't go!"
Tyler turned around to see Lizzie Samuels chasing after him, a worried expression on her face.
"Lizzie? What are you doing out here?"
"I saw Glenn and Daryl throwing you out. Why are you leaving?"
He shook his head, not wanting to involve her and wanting to forget about this as quickly as possible.
"It's grown up stuff, that's all you need to know. I'm not welcome here anymore."
Tyler had a pretty clear idea where he was going, remembering signs for a sanctuary called Terminus. As he began to walk away again, Lizzie ran up and grabbed his arm.
"Wait! You can trust me. It's about Delilah, isn't it?"
He nodded. "Yes, it is. Her stupid little boyfriend roughed me up for trying to be with her. She was mine first, not his."
The young girl pursed her lips in frustration. "She's playing games. I'll sneak you into my room and nurse you back to health. Once you're feeling better, then we'll come up with a plan to exact revenge." Lizzie shot Tyler an evil smirk, which he returned.
"I have no idea what's going on in that sick little brain of yours, girl, but I have a feeling I'll like it either way." He smiled as Lizzie led him by the hand back into Jellbany.
Lizzie's Room, October 16th, 10:00 pm
Lizzie waited until the coast was clear to tap Tyler out from the space underneath her bed. For the past two weeks, she had been keeping Tyler there, sneaking food in while he slept in the bed during the day and filled him in on everything happening at Jellbany.
"Tyler! You're never going to believe what happened!"
He rolled out from under the bed, fixing his hair. "What is it? Are the guys back with the gate supplies yet."
"Yep, but that's not the only thing. Carol's back, and you won't believe who was with her!"
"Who?"
"Delilah's ex-fiance Billy and her sister Christine!"
Tyler's eyes widened, already having known the whole story behind Billy and Christine. "No friggin way. How?"
She nodded excitedly. "Yes way! I don't know, they found each other somehow, then Daryl brought Carol back and there they were. I met Christine, she's so nice and pretty, I really like her. Maybe we can get her in on our plan?"
He nodded with a smile. "Yeah, maybe."
Fifth Floor Hallway, October 24th, 7:45 pm
"Here, come inside." Delilah tugged Billy by the forearm into her room and shut the door, not even bothering to check for anybody in the hallway watching.
Alas, Tyler had been watching all along. He smirked to himself, knowing what was most likely going to happen and feeling a tad jealous that Billy would be making love to her instead of him, but it wouldn't be like that for long.
Outside of Home Base, October 26th, 12:35 am
"Oh, my God! Don't stop, don't stop, Rick!"
Delilah screamed, only to be silenced by Rick's kiss as he roughly pounded into her. He followed the kiss by biting down on her neck, sure to leave a rather large hickey as Delilah almost screeched. Tyler laughed to himself watching the two of them. Rick and Billy should consider themselves fortunate that they had had one last sexual encounter with Delilah, because after next Friday, she would only be his.
"Rick and Billy have got to be the stupidest motherfuckers on the face of this earth, dead or living, to have fallen for your manipulative tricks, Delilah. You played them well and literally fucked them. It's too bad that now you'll never get to decide who you really want."
Tyler walked forward, smirk still intact as Delilah was walking backwards to flee. Every one of Delilah's instincts was telling her to fight, just like she had to a year ago with that biker gang, but she couldn't. She was paralyzed by shock and terror, terrified that Tyler had been at Jellbany this whole time, hiding and that such a psychopath was still here.
"So you did this? Wh-why? What did everybody else do to you? They don't deserve this!"
He raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Yes, I did, but I didn't do it alone. No, not at all, I've got some very good friends eight miles up the road to thank for this. You made me hurt, so I'm gonna make sure everybody you love and care about suffers. Keep thinking that you and your crew have got this place on lockdown, it ain't gonna happen. I'm here to take what's mine."
Further terror spread throughout her body, and one thought crossed her mind: GET OUT. Delilah raised her mandala baton, only for Tyler to smack it out of her hand and send it to the ground, backing her up against the wall. She kicked him in the shin, causing him to drop to his knees and creating an opening for her to run. Unfortunately, Tyler grabbed hold of her ankle and tripped her to the ground. Delilah struggled to grab the mandala baton or even a rock as Tyler flipped her over, laying his entire body weight on her as she screamed before shoving her against the wall.
"You're never gonna get away, Delilah. I'm about to teach you what happens when you turn me down."
Delilah's screams weren't working, there had to be something else to alert somebody that she needed help, and she knew what had to be done, her secret signal. With apprehension enveloping her, Delilah opened her mouth and screeched as loud as she could.
"Eeeeeeik eeik eeeek!"

Billy stopped swinging his nunchucks when he heard the dolphin's call shrilling in the air. After Delilah left him, he decided to take a walk to clear his head, only to be interrupted by a steam roller barging through. Thankful, he had received his nunchucks back a couple days ago, so he joined in with helping out the others kill the incoming walkers, but the clicking brought everything to a halt. The only person Billy knew that could make a sound like that was Delilah, and after joking about it being her distress signal, he knew she was in danger.
"Delilah."
As he was about to run off to rescue her, everything faded away to pitch black…

"Ewww! Get away!"
Javier repeatedly hit a walker in the head with a double fisted dildo, which surprisingly worked. He had planned to teach a blowjob class this afternoon, but on his way back from getting the sex toys in Inventory Range, somebody invaded Jellbany. Matt always killed the undead freaks, and unfortunately, he was nowhere in sight at the moment, leaving Javier to fend for himself. Looking over to see another freak coming up on him, Javier turned on a vibrator, running forward with a girlish scream as he rammed the vibrator into the walker so hard it was impaled.
"Deep throat that, bitch!"
"Eeeeeeik eeik eeeek!"
Christine had been helping Javier after the steamroller plowed through Inventory Range, grabbing two of the guns that had been scattered on the floor, when she heard Delilah's dolphin call.
Lizzie and Tyler had approached her a week ago about the invasion, saying that they came into contact with a large group a few miles away that were more than willing to help him destroy Jellbany. At the time, she had agreed to it, but after her conversation with Rick and trying to mend ties with Delilah, Christine had gone back on her word. She was overcome with guilt, feeling hopeful that things between her and her younger sister were improving, and this would immediately tear them apart. Christine told Lizzie and Tyler to call things off, but she should have tried harder.
Hearing Delilah's distress signal was enough to make Christine stop everything and try to save her.
"Delilah!"
As she was about to run off to rescue her, everything faded to pitch black…

Still pinning Delilah down despite her frantic struggling, Tyler undid his belt with one hand and punched her in the cheek with the buckle, causing her to scream out for the now throbbing pain. As everything went hazy when he started choking her, she knew that this was how it would all end, there was no way out. Nobody was coming to her rescue, and no matter how much good she had done, karma was literally killing her for what she did to Rick, and the price she had to pay was with her life.
"Yeah, Delilah. Ain't nobody here to save you now. What are you going to do about it?" Tyler cackled, prepared to penetrate her, when he suddenly gasped and froze, his firm grip on Delilah's neck decreased dramatically.
Delilah snapped her eyes shut and immediately opened them to find Rick's head tilted back, his mouth covered in blood as he spit out flesh. Tyler's eyes widened and his face was ghost white as blood sprayed her own face with an open wound from his neck, causing them both to slump to the ground. As he started convulsing uncontrollably from the blood loss and gasping for air, Rick whipped out his Colt Python, shooting Tyler point blank in the crotch and between his eyes, looking down on him with a blood stained snarl.
"She's mine."
Delilah was almost certain that the man before her was "Dark Rick", but it didn't matter, because he had just saved her life. Rick focused his gaze on Delilah, a look of worry on his face.
"Are you alright?"
Although still shaken up, she slowly nodded. "Yeah. He never left, Rick. Lizzie had been hiding him in her room since Glenn and Daryl threw him out. Tyler was behind this whole attack, he joined forces with some group up the road. Lizzie helped him, they tried to get Christine in on it but she apparently backed out and told them to call the whole thing off. Mika is dead, Rick. Lizzie killed her."
Rick's heart sank over the tears in her eyes, knowing how much Delilah cared for the little girl and wishing there was a way to erase this horrific day. Sadly, he always had a feeling that something was off with Lizzie, and he had been right.
"Who were they?" He bent down, helping Delilah to her feet, wrapping an arm around her waist for steadiness as they walked to the front of Jellybany. "I think we've got them all. Carl saw a truck driving off but couldn't blow out the tires in time. There were only three of them."
Delilah shook her head. "I don't know who they were. If there's three, there will be more. There's more, Rick, and they'll most likely be back." Their eyes met, a frightened expression on her face. "I don't think we're safe anymore. We're especially not safe with Lizzie around."
He shook his head. "We never were, Delilah. It was only a matter of time before something happened."
As they got to the front of Jellbany, Delilah took in the post-chaos of the safe haven she thought she created. The ground was scattered with remains of both humans and nombies, tainted with blood, guts, and bones that were barely being washed away by the rain. Smoke continued to billow from the destroyed vehicles as others cried over the loss of loved ones and friends while Rick's group started searching for more clues of the culprit. It certainly looked like the set of a post-apocalyptic blockbuster, and this was the reality they were living in now, rattling every single member to the core.
Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, Delilah happened to glance down, the sight of a stainless steel and blue dial Patek Philippe Nautilus watch in the grass made her whole body go numb with trauma.
