Peter's Story/Issue 8

{As the walkers start to get nearer T-Dog he collapses, Jacqui then witnesses that happening, she is about to move when Daryl signals for her to stay where she is, he then gets out from underneath the car, he then sets his crossbow on the bonnet of the truck while getting his knife out, he stabs the walker that was near T-Dog through the brain, he then signals T-Dog to be quiet as he puts the walker over him. Daryl then gets another walker from inside one of the other vehicles; he lies on the ground and puts the walker over him just in time as more walkers come. Inside the RV the walker is at the door of the bathroom, he then starts to get inside as Andrea screams. Underneath the RV Peter and Amy hear her screams but Peter stops Amy from leaving as two more walkers that weren’t as close as the others were nearing them, Dale then notices Andrea screaming and then looks at his screwdriver, he then breaks open the vent shaft and drops the screwdriver down to Andrea, at this time Andrea forces the door open and continuously stabs the walker in the eye, while this is happening Amy is relieved as the screams have stopped. Around where Rick is no more walkers are coming, so Sophia starts to move out from under the car}''' '''

Sophia: Ahhhhhh! *she runs out from the car and goes into the forest*

{Rick goes out from under the car and runs after Sophia. Meanwhile Dale, Peter, Amy and Andrea all hear the screams, Amy goes inside the RV to see Andrea but she comes straight back out again with her, they then run towards the others, elsewhere Daryl removes the walker that was on top of him and also removes T-Dog’s walker as well}

Dale: *running down to the others* what happened?

Carol: My baby, those walkers went after my baby

{All of the group are in shock}

Daryl: Over here, help! *Peter and Shane go over to see T-Dog lying on the floor with a massive cut on his arm; they get him up and bring him to the RV

Shane: What happened?

Daryl: he just was walking around, with blood all over his arm, so I had to cover him up.

Peter: Well we’ll need to cover that wound up *he goes over to it*, that could have an infection on it.

{Half an hour has passed}

Carol: Where are they, they should be back by now!

Peter: Carol, don’t worry, Sophia will be just fine, Rick can’t shoot the two walkers, he’d attract the others

{Suddenly Rick comes back}

Rick: *out of breath* so-Sophia, where is she?

{Carol then starts to cry; slowly falling to the ground, Andrea then catches her}.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{The Scene cuts to Daryl, Glenn, Shane and Rick out in the forest where Rick last left Sophia}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: She was right there, I told her to stay there until I got back, if I didn’t get back soon then I told her to head back to the highway, and to keep the sun on her left shoulder

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: well she did do that; her tracks are going the way that you told her, come ‘on

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They get out of the river and start to follow the tracks}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: why are you stopping?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: I’m looking to see what way she went

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: you sayin’ she went off course?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: yep

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: why would she so that?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: maybe somethin’ spooked her

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: like a walker?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: No, I don’t see any other tracks

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: this is pointless all of us being out here, Shane you take Glenn back to the highway, Daryl and I’ll keep going, it’s important that you keep the group busy, and let them know what’s happening

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: okay, I’ve got a few jobs that could be done, keep them occupied until you come back

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: good.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Shane and Glenn go back to the highway while Rick and Daryl follow the tracks}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Back at the Highway

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Carol sees Shane and Glenn return}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: you didn’t find her?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Carol Rick and Daryl are following her tracks, but we need to keep looking for supplies and other things, like cloths <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: okay, you heard Shane let’s get looking for supplies

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Lori, Amy and Carl go looking where they originally where until the herd came past, while Peter, Shane and Dale try and move some of the cars out of the way, Carol then walks over to them}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: what are we doing here? Why aren’t we all out there looking for my daughter?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: well we need to move these vehicles outta the way, which means that when the RV’s up and running we can move on

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: we-we aren’t leavin’ here until Sophia’s back here

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: *dropping five, small bottles of water on the ground* we won’t be, don’t worry

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: we don’t want to be here when another mass of walkers shows up again

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: Yeah, what was that?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea:   it was like a herd

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Yeah, a herd, that sounds a bit right*he smiles at Andrea, Peter looks at him in disgust* Come ‘on people, still a lot of work to be done

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: hey Shane *Shane walks over to Peter* would you give Glenn and I some help moving these barrels of water over to the RV please.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: sure bud

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{So Peter, Glenn and Shane go and move the barrels of water over to the RV while Dale stays on watch}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{An hour passes and Rick and Daryl get back}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Nothing, we looked everywhere *Peter points to the blood on Daryl’s shirt*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: Yeah we bumped into a walker *Carol falls to the ground*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: Wa-walker *Lori goes over to her*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: Yeah, he didn’t hurt Sophia

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: How can you be so sure?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: We cut the little bugger up

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Lovely

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: We’ll look for her in the morning

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: What about now?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: No, we’d just get lost in the process

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They all walk off, Peter goes on watch and the rest go into the RV}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">''Next Morning ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They’ve all gathered around the Cherokee, Dale, Jacqui, T-Dog and Amy are staying with the RV}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Okay, so everyone has to carry a weapon around with them

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: we need guns, not some knives

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Ain’t we been over this before? Rick, Peter, Dale and I are the only ones carrying a gun with us, we don’t want you ‘all to be popping rounds off every time you hear a noise

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: He’s right, we stay together, keep insight of each other, if you hear something tell Shane, Daryl, Peter or I *they all walk off* Dale, could you watch over Carl while we’re away please?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carl: I want to come with you, Sophia was my friend

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: Well I think that he’s safe in your care

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Okay, but you stay close to mom at all times

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carl: Okay *Dale gives him a wink and smiles at him and he whispers to him* thanks

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Okay guys lets go *they walk off*'' <'p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">In the forest

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: We’ll find her Carol, don’t you be worrying

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: I just hope she’s okay, out there, all on her own. I’m just hoping and praying that she’s safe

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: Shh *they all stop, Rick signals for them to keep down*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Daryl walks over to the tent that he saw, Rick signals Carol to come over}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Okay Carol, I want you to call out Sophia’s name, she’ll recognise it more than any of ours

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: *nods* Sophia, Sophia, you in their baby, it-it’s mommy here, we’ve come to get you *there’s no reply* Sophia *Daryl walks over to the tent, slowly opening it* Daryl?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: *walking out of the tent* Looks like this guy did what Jenner did...opted out

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Suddenly a church bell is heard, they all run towards the noise, they see the church}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: *Running* Rick, this can’t be the church, there’s no steeple

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Rick and the others keep on running to the doors, when they get there they see three walkers, Daryl, Shane and Rick take them out, they hear the bells again, but only to find that it was on a timer}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: *After disabling the timer* on a timer

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: I think I’m going to go inside again

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{They all go inside, Shane, Lori remain outside}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: It was a mistake, a mistake Shane, to told me that my husband was dead for Christ’s sake

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: No, it wasn’t a mistake, what we had...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: what we had was nothing, I love Rick, my husband is back, and you think that we can just forgive and forget?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Lori...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: And what about the CDC, what was that

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: I love you Lori and Carl, more than Rick can ever do

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: You tried to rape me

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">(They hear a noise near them like someone was watching]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: *Whispers* Oh my God *he runs outside and is sick*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Buddy you all right? *he places his hand on Peter*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: *Shouts* Get off me

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: You ‘all right?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Oh I’m fine. It’s you that’s not right

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: What’s that meant to me?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Oh I heard, I heard everything

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: What’d you mean?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Like you don’t know, and I’m not the only one that knows *he walks back into the church*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: *Rubs his head and walks into the church* Okay people let’s head back to the highway *they all walk outside*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: Shane, you come here for a second *Shane and Rick then walk away from the group*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Anyone need a drink? *nobody replies*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Shane and Rick come back over to them}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Shane: Okay, Rick and I are going to keep looking for a while, you lot all get back to the highway

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: You’re splitting us up?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: You sure that’s a good idea?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: We’ll meet back at the highway, if not before that

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{So they split up, Carl after agreeing with his parents goes with Rick and Shane, while the rest head back to the highway}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">''Back at the highway. Inside the RV ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{T-Dog is lying on one of the beds while Jacqui gets a bandage on him while the other two are scavenging through the cars}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: just hold still for a second this might hurt *she puts the bandage on him*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog *whines* ah, Jesus that’s sore

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: I’m sorry sweetie

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: I couldn’t get under one of those god dam cars

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: Don’t worry; we’ll get this patched up soon.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: We shouldn’t even be here, *Jacqui looks up at him* look at us Jac; we’re the only coloured people in the group.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: Theodore Douglas, what on earth are you talking about?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: Let’s go you and me, let’s go, and head off in one of these cars,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: *stands up, feels his forehead to feel that he’s burning up*, Theodore, you’re foreheads like a fire

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: everything okay?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: no, T-Dog, he’s in a bad way, we need to find him some painkillers, or somethin’ at least

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: I’ve been looking for them, but nothing...we’ll have to look harder, that’s the only way *he smiles*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: what’s the task now?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: any sort of medication, preferably painkillers

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Amy: okay

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">''In the forest ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: So, we’re just going to head back the way we came?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: no, we’ll head this way, but we’ll still get there in a quicker time

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: why didn’t we keep going?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: It will get darker soon, by the time we get back to the highway the sun will be going down

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: We can’t leave her out here again

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: We’ll pick up the trail again in the morning Carol

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: Why the hell did he not keep her safe, eh?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: all Right you ‘all just shut up, now Carol, Rick did what he had to do, okay, he made a chose, hell I didn’t see anyone else running after her, not even you Carol, now, I’m sorry that your little girl is out there, but you need to stop whining and stop blaming Rick, I see the hatred in your eye every time you look at him, and that’s going to stop right now, you hear me?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: Yes, I-I’m sorry, I’m really thankful that your helping me find her, I’m just hoping and praying that she doesn’t end up as a walker

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: So are we, for what it’s worth

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: I tell you what it’s worth, not a God dam thing *they look at a Daryl in confusion* because we’re gonna locate this little girl, and she’s gonna be just fine, Jesus, am I the sane one around here?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Elsewhere in the forest Shane, Rick and Carl come across a Buck, Shane goes to shoot it but Ricks looks at him, then at Carl who is fascinated by it, he then starts to walk towards it, he looks round, Rick then nods at him to continue, so he does, as he gets nearer to the Buck it turns round and stares at Carl, suddenly a gunshot is fired at the Buck, the bullet goes through it and goes into Carl’s side, forcing him to the ground.}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
