To many mistakes

ch. 18

At dusk, Daryl got back and we all grouped up in the living room to discuss the situation.

Daryl leaned against the wall and I complemated on staying or not. Daryl told me to though. I have told him about Rick and what we've done. Everything.

He said he already knew though. I asked if it was obvious and he said probably only to him, no ones really searching for drama. Which I mentally debate about.

"So how do we do this?" Glenn asked the first question eagerly. "Just take a vote?"

"Why even bother, why are we here? We know the outcome." I mumble. Daryl pulls my arm so I stand by him.

Basically he's telling me to bid my time.

"Does it have to be anonymous?" Andrea asked.

"How about majority rules?" Lori asked.

I scoff.

"We know what the majority of you guys want." I say bitterly. Dale nods in agreement.

I glare at Rick.

He glanced at me then looked down in thought.

"Well why don't we see where everybody stands first then we can talk through the options."

I rolled my eyes and bit my tongue.

I was finding it so hard to hold in what I wanted to say but I did it.

"Well, where I sit theres only one way to move forward." Shane claimed as he looked around at everyone.

"Killing him right?" I stepped up. I couldn't hold back. This time Dale joined

"I mean, why even bother taking a vote, its crystal clear where the winds blowin'." He shrieked.

"Well if people believe we should spare him, I wan't to know." Rick said looking at me.

In a way, I know this is just him trying to get me to see that at least he said to take a vote, but my commands are still in place.

"Well, I can tell you it's a small group, maybe just me, Glenn, and Kelsey." Dale cried.

"Look I- I think you're pretty much right about everything all the time, but this-" Glenn proclaimed nervously.

"They got you scared!" Dale screamed.

"He's not one of us!" Glenn yelled back. "And we've, we've lost to many people already."

"Stop being a scared little pussy Gleen Rhee." I spit.

Daryl put a hand on my shoulder but this time I shoved it off.

Glenn glared at me, embarrassed by my words.

"How about you? Do you agree with this?" Dale asked Maggie.

She was clearly uncomfortable and for a moment I was scared for a second that she was going to side with the opposing team.

"Cant we just keep him as a prisoner?"

"Just anotha' mouth to feed." Daryl spoke up.

Okay....

"It may be a lean winter." Hershel spoke.

"I cant believe your for this! You're a religious man!" I exclaimed.

"We could ration better?" Lori suggested. The only time I liked to hear her voice.

"Well he could be an asset, give him a chance to prove himself!" Dale pleaded.
