Peter's Story/Issue 10

{Peter is on the top of the RV keeping watch, there he looks down towards his gun, he loads it up and takes the safety off, he looks towards the cars and then sees Sophia running away from the two walkers into the forest, screaming and crying for her mum, then he sees a girl screaming as a walker gets her, he looks up to see Amy and then Shane killing Lori...he comes back to the present time and then wipes the tears coming from his eyes.}

''Inside the School ''

{Shane smashes the glass door so that he and Otis can get inside the school, as soon as he does that the walkers break in chasing them}

Otis: no what?

Shane: we keep running

Otis: I think that there is a fire exit in the gym

{Shane and Otis continue to run away from the walkers that are close on their tail, Shane then sees the gym’s doors, he bursts through, they see five walkers, Shane then shoots all five of them, they see the fire exit which is all locked up, Shane fires a shoot at the padlock which then gets unlocked Otis opens the door as Shane reloads his shotgun}

Otis: take a left at the bottom of the stairs

{They get to the bottom of the stairs but see walkers coming towards them, they then head to the right}

Shane: where will this take us?

Otis: this way’s a dead end

Shane: shit!

''Back on the Highway ''

{Peter is still on watch and everyone else is inside the RV. Inside Amy is sleeping in the bed next to Carol, who is weeping in the bed, Daryl is lying on the floor and Andrea is fixing her gun }

Dale: *walking up the ladders* D’you mind if I join ya?

Peter: N-no, not at all, I ain’t much company at the moment; I can’t stop worrying about Carl

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: He’ll be okay, he’s a strong guy

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: He sure is *He looks blankly and then gives a smirk* When Rick was in hospital Carl was yelling at the doctors “Take my blood” and he wasn’t gonna give up, he just kept on shouting, they had to...they had to put him on medication to calm him down, but you should’ve seen him, then there Shane, the bastard he is...

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: Oh, sorry *he looks embarrassed*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: Peter *Peter looks at Dale* why did you call Shane a bastard, is it because of him and Lori?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: How’d you...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: I figured it out eventually, with all of the looks that they were giving each other

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: He tried to... to rape her

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: What? *suddenly they hear the door of the RV opening and Daryl and Andrea come out*

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: We’re gonna shine a little light out in the woods, maybe find something

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: You want me to come with you?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Daryl: No, you stay here, help Dale with lookout.

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;">{They walk off into the Forest. Soon Carol goes out}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;">Peter: Carol, are you okay?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: Is it a’right if I wait up with you two until they get back?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: sure, the more the merrier

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: *giving Carol his gun* you hold on to that for a minute?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Carol: I wouldn’t even know how to use it

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: where you going?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: oh, I’m going to take a walk

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Dale: don’t worry, I’m not goin’ far

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: maybe you should take it just in case

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Peter: I’ll give you a shout if I see anything

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Dale then walks off towards the vehicles leaving Carol and Peter on watch}

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Hershel: I’m going to need you to make a decision soon if Otis and your man don’t get back soon

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Hershel: weather to operate or not

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: I thought you said that the chances are low of him surviving

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Hershel: yes, but if we don’t do something soon then he won’t survive

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: well give him more blood

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Hershel: Rick if I take any more blood from you then you could go into a coma or worse...die

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: I don’t care, you give him more blood

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Hershel: Patricia, take more blood from Rick

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Outside the Farmhouse Glenn, T-Dog and Jacqui arrive in Shane’s SUV; they walk up to the porch}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Jacqui: Do we knock?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: I think we’ve passed all that

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Maggie: can I help you?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: yes, hello, again *Maggie looks confused* we meet briefly before

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Maggie: I know, did you close the gate?

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: look we’ve come here to see if we can help in any way

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Maggie: what happened?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">T-Dog: *looks at his arm* It’s not a bite, if that’s what you’re thinking, but I cut it real bad

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Maggie: come on inside, I’ll get your arm fixed up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{T-Dog, Maggie and Patricia all go into the kitchen while Glenn goes into see Carl}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Rick: *upon seeing Glenn* Hey

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: Hey, how’s he doing?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Lori: he woke up for second, but had a seizer, but we’re just waiting on Shane and the guy who shot him to return with some medical equipment so Hershel can operate on him

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Glenn: well if there’s anything I can do for you, you know where I am

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Hershel: Rick I want you and your wife to grab the end of the bed sheets and lift him onto the metal table, on three...1-2

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{suddenly they are interrupted by an engine, then a car horn noise is heard as Otis’s truck pulls up, everyone runs outside to see Shane and Otis getting out of the truck}

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Andrea: Dale, please stop worrying about me, I’m fine. Honestly

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">{Dale then nods at her and gives her his gun as he walks inside the RV, closing the door behind him. Andrea then walks up the ladders of the RV and sits down on the foldout chair.}
