I lied back on the couch as He laid his head on my lap while I played with his messy brown hair.I can't imagine how mature he's going to look with longer hair.

We talked for what seemed like forever, only to be startled by Shane's yelling.
" Is that Shane"? I asked him, and he got up, pulling me up as well. We quickly rushed outside and to the porch.

Shane handed daryl a shotgun which he gladly took. " Can't keep pretending like this place is safe, it isn't"!

"Where's dale"? Andrea asked, sounding pretty pissed off. " Don't worry bout him, he's on his way".
" You, Glenn, you gonna protect your own"? Shane said forcefully handing Glenn a shot gun as well.

It's like Carl could read my mind. He held onto my hand. I felt a sense of savior from him. "Can you shoot?" Shane asked my sister
" Can you stop?! " Maggie demanded.

" Shane, stop please. Just put the guns away or my daddy will make you and your group leave". I asked him nicely, but his face wouldn't budge not would he.
" Yeah, Shane. I don't want to leave". Carl added

"What the hell is going on"? Lori said, walking down my porch steps and standing in front of Carl and I.
" Tell you what, you want to protect the people you care about including Ella. You're gone need take this". Shane said to Carl, handing him a pistol.

" Hershel said no guns on his property, dammit" Lori sternly said to him, pushing Carl and I back behind her more.

" Oh shit". T-Dog said, taking our focus off the conversation.

We looked at what he was " Oh shitting " to.

Jimmy, Rick and my daddy came out of the woods with two walkers hooked onto a pole around their necks.
" What the hell"? Shane said, taking off their direction.
" Rick, man what the hell you doing with them damn things?!" Shane screamed at him.
" You just back off, Shane". Rick said back to him.

I squeezed onto Carl's hand tighter, even as we did run to the barn. We didn't want to let go, and we didn't have to.

" Why do your people have guns, Rick?! " My dad said while struggling with that disgusting thing

" You see what he's holding onto?!" Shane blurted, He was extremely pissed off " Shane, just calm down. We'll talk about it! " Rick told Shane as if it was normal.

" Talk about what dammit?! Huh?! These things ain't people Hershel! They aren't sick! Your own daughter don't even agree with you! ".My dad looked at me with confusion and betrayal in his eyes at me, I started tearing up.

Carl pulled me into a hug, I didn't want to watch any of this anymore. I just didn't.

" These things right here, they're the things that killed Amy. " Shane shouted Andrea's direction.

I guess Amy was Andrea's relative.

" They killed Otis. They're gonna kill all of us. " Shane yelled at my dad.

" Hey, Hershel, man, let me ask you something. Can a living breathing person, could they walk away from this? "Shane added and pulled his gun out firing it on the walker. Everybody else was quiet as a mouse, But Shane and Rick" STOP SHANE! " Rick demanded.

" That's three rounds in the chest. Could someone who's alive, can they just take that? Why is it still coming? " Shane calmly said, shooting it once more..
" That's its heart, its lungs. Why is it still coming? " Shane questioned.
" Shane, enough! " Rick screamed at Shane."Yeah, you're right, man. That is enough. " Shane shoots it through the skull.

" Shane! Stop! " I yelled at him, not even receiving eye contact from that monster.

Watching the woman walker fall to the floor, had me a little woozy. I couldn't continue to watch Shane slaughter the " walkers " I once knew before the world fell.

I fell over into Carl's arms, as he say down slowly with me. Even though I was still completely conscious.

" Ella"! He screamed my name, drawing lori's attention to us. She drop down next to us and pulled us both into her arms.

" DONE! Risking our lives for a little girl that's gone! Living next to a barn filled with walkers! ENOUGH!"

Shane ran to the Barn trying to open it. " Hershel take the stick! HERSHEL ! " Rick yelled at my dad.

But I could see sadness, confusion, and fear all together in his eyes, A look I'd never seen on my daddy's face.

" Shane stop! "

" why're you doing this?! "

" Shane!!! "

I could hear people yelling at Shane, but I didn't want to see what was happening. Carl's grip around my got tighter and tighter as the noise got more intense. Hopefully I'd pass out and wouldn't have to see what was next.

Then, Shane broke the lock on the barn and I couldn't help but look.

I looked over at my daddy once more.. Tears, Real tears flooded his eyes.
Maggie tried to comfort him, But it clearly just was not working
because her eyes were doing the same.

It's like it was slow motion as the barn doors opened, the walkers that had once been people. People that I knew, Family friends, Neighbors, and Relatives, Walked out. These weren't people, And it was clearly and utterly obvious.

Shane stood in front of the barn with Andrea, T-Dog, Daryl, And Glenn..
All stood with their guns at hand taking down the walkers.

I then saw my mother, the walker that used to be my mother. A bullet went through her skull, I finally let out an agonizing yell.

With out thinking I got up from Carl's grip and proceeded to run to her as if she were still human.
I felt Carl's hand wrap around my waist and pull me down to the ground holding me back.. " No no no no no!! " I screamed trying to get out of Carl's newly adjusted grip on my waist.
" Please " I whined falling over completely on my back, tears streaming out of my eyes like a waterfall.

After what seemed like eternity, the gun shots stopped.

Small growls were all we could hear in that next moment. Everybody's eyes including mine now were glued onto the barn doors, waiting for the growling walker to come out so they could just get it over with.

Then a small girl with short brown hair, revealed herself.

" Sophia, Sophia"! Carol came running down the pathway, but was stop by Daryl.

Everybody's eye now seemed to be wanting to let go a couple of tears.
That was the little girl they'd been looking for since they had gotten here.

She's been in the barn the whole time.
The one thing that couldn't help but run wild in my mind, was the fact that Carl probably thinks I knew about Sophia being in the barn. When in reality, I didn't have a clue about her in there.

All I know is that I don't want Carl to hate me.

Carol's whimpering was all I could hear, I still cried into Carl's shirt. He'd held onto me tighter and tighter as my grip did the same. I couldn't watch, I couldn't. A simple shot was all that I heard. I finally turned around to see the Sophia fall to the floor.

" Momma, Momma! " I screamed yanking my way out of Carl's grip.
I sprinted to my mother's dead body and cried looking at her.

" Momma " I said one last time.

Movement of her head then growling from her was all I saw. She grabbed onto me and I Yelled for my life Glenn, Andrea, Carl, and Daryl all ran to my rescue. She'd made her way onto me trying to bite at me.

I saw nothing in her eyes as she stood on me, Just cold cruel death. She wasn't my mom.. What was I doing? ..

She was then pulled off of me and shot in her forehead.

Carl dragged me away and held onto me as I cried even harder into his shoulder.. " Carl.. " I said crying and crying.. " Shh.. Shh.. i'm here.. I'm not going anywhere .. " He whispered into my ear through my tangled wavy hair... " I couldn't see his eyes.. Only could hear his voice.. I couldn't tell if he was sincere.. At This point I didn't care.. I just needed somebody to hold.. And that's what I had..
