This Is How We End It

Chapter Twenty Nine

Beckah rushed to her sister's corpses. They were bloodied, and scratched, and filled with bites from walkers.

"S-Sarah.. Han-Hannah.." Beckah managed to say through her cries, as tears had streamed down her face. She sat in the middle of the two, caressing their bloodied cheeks, as they were lifeless.

Beth, who'd been crying in Jimmy's side, ran to the walkers corpses. She saw down to one, right over the head, as everyone watched. She caressed the walker's face, as she whispered to the corpse. 

"Mom..." She muttered before the corpse rose, grabbing her hair as it groaned.

Shane quickly ran to her, pulling Beth away but the walker had a strong grip on her. Andrea picked up a pickaxe that leaned against the barn, and swung it into the walker's head. Beckah's and Beth's cries could be heard throughout the scene. Shane let go of Beth, looking up at Andrea. Beckah fondled with her gun a bit, making sure it had enough bullets. She then slowly stood up, walking away a bit, aiming the gun toward the two bodies, and shooting both of their heads. She then dropped the gun, letting out a small whimper before running back to the tents. Mikaela, Brittany and Taylor all watched. Beth had ran back to Jimmy, as he comforted her. Maggie clung to Hershel, causing him to rise. 

The group had figured that Hershel's family must've been in the barn. They must've turned, and he put them in there.

"What the hell were there walkers doing in there?" Shane said, as he turned to Hershel. 

Hershel was in shock, for sure. Maggie had to answer for him.

"They were friends and family. He thought there was a cure." She explained.

Shane looked down, then back up to Hershel. Nick looked at Hershel, walking to him.

"Crazy ass old man, you fucking killed--" Nick began before he was interrupted.

Rick walked over to Nick. "Nick! That's enough."

"Dad, two people are dead because of him." Nick said, almost in a growl. "He's fucking insane."

"Nick's right. Why would he just--" Adam said, nodding before Hershel cleared his throat.

"OFF MY FARM!" Hershel shouted at the group, looking at all of them. "You sick bastards killed my family!"

"Killed your family? You really are a crazy old bastard--" Shane started before Rick cut him off.

"Shane!" Rick shouted at him, cutting him off ultimately.

Lori watched the scene, as she held Mikaela close to her. Nick's finger was clenched on the trigger, just in case Hershel did try anything. 

"Off my farm. I mean it. All of you. I want you gone by tonight. I don't care if you don't have a place to stay, I want you gone." Hershel said before turning around, walking back toward the house with Maggie, Beth, Patricia, and Jimmy.

In Woodbury, sunset had fallen on the town and there was still no sight of Ellen. She was gone. In Lizzie and Mika's home, their family had made dinner. Canned corn wtih canned peas, along with peaches. Lizzie and Mika's father set the dishes down on the table as he called his daughters to the table.

"Lizzie, Mika, Savannah!" He shouted, calling them out. "Dinner."

Like clockwork, the three came out on time, sitting at the table. Savannah sighed, sitting down in her chair, taking the spoon to get corn.

"We found Ellen today, dad." Lizzie said with a smile. "Well, her footprints."

Savannah rolled her eyes. "I don't think you're gonna find her, squirt."
