We All...

"We found Randall, he was a walker," Daryl said.

"Did you find the walker that bit him?" Hershel asked.

"That's the weird part," Glenn replied, "He wasn't bit."

"His neck was broke," Daryl told them.

"Will you please go out there and find Shane and Rick and future out what the hell is going on?" Lori begged and Daryl nodded.

"You got it." He exchanged looks with Carol before heading back outside, Glenn and Andrea behind him.

All three stopped short at what they saw. A herd, bigger than any they'd seen before, heading straight for the house.

"Oh my god," Glenn said before running into the house. He returned a few moments later with Hershel and Patricia.

"Patricia, get the lights," Hershel whispered and she ran inside to do so.

"Can't we just go inside? Wait for them to pass?" Glenn asked.

"Not unless there's a tunnel in the basement I don't know about," Daryl said. "Herd that size'll knock the house down."

"We got guns, ammunition," Hershel said.

"So we stand and fight?" Andrea asked incredulously.

"It's my farm. I'll die here," Hershel replied.

"Tonight's as good as any," Daryl shrugged, walking over to the door. He saw Carol standing just inside and motioned for her to come closer.

"What're we going to do?" she asked immediately.

"Hershel wants ta fight," Daryl told her, " Can ya-"

"I'll look after Christian," she promised him and he nodded.

"I'll come back for ya if things go south," he said and this time it was Carol who nodded.

"You better," she said and then, feeling bold and reckless with the herd coming down on top of them, she leaned in and kissed him.

"Carl's gone!"

They broke apart as Lori ran down the stairs.

"What?" Carol asked.

"He was upstairs and now he's gone!"

"What about Sophia and Christian?"

"What are you doing?" Sophia asked as Carl slid the window open.

"I'm going to help look for Randall," Carl told her.

"We're supposed to stay up here," Christian said.

"I'm going to help my dad and Shane look for Randall," Carl said insistently, "You coming?"

"No way!" Sophia shook her head. "We'd be in so much troble."

Carl rolled his eyes and sighed before looking at Christian.

"Are you coming?" Carl asked.

"No he's not!" Sophia said immediately.

"I thought you weren't a baby?" Carl teased him, "Or is Sophia your mommy now?"

"I'm not a baby," Christian said vehemently.

"Then you're going to come help look for Randall?" Carl asked expectantly.

"Christian, no!" Sophia said.

Christian looked back and forth between the pair, torn on what to do.

2019 UPDATE:

Anybody still there? Maybe? Sorta?

It's been a while, hasn't it? Literal years.

Obviously this is not a new chapter, but this is a little update on what is to come.

I'm currently in the process of going through and editing all my stories, starting with my one-shot series, then my one-shots, then my longer series.

I will be fixing spelling and grammar issues, as well as editing the stories to make them flow better. This might mean changing the wording of some things or even adding or removing some things.

The stories will keep the same plot, but I wrote a lot of these when I was really young and my writing style and ability has changed a lot since then. I'm not going to be changing a lot of things (at least not in my one-shots, series fics are another matter), but I want to make them the best they can be.

My goal is to have all the editing done (with the exception of a couple multi-chapter fics) done by the end of this year. Meaning I would be able to start posting new chapters come the new year.

The only ones that might take longer to edit are my Supernatural Multi-Chapter story and my Walking-Dead multi-chapters stories. This is because, honestly, I'm not thrilled with the direction either of them went.

I might add chapters, remove certain things, make chapters longer, who knows. I'm gonna see what happens when I get there.

I love writing and I love fanfiction and if there's still anyone out there who was reading my fics, I apologize for abandoning them.

I wish I could explain why I haven't updated in so long, but in the time it took me to do that I could probably write 10 new chapters.

So instead I'll let you know I'll be back in the new year with new chapters and new content, and in the meantime, I'll be reposting each chapter on my fics all polished and shiny.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me and I look forward to what is to come!
