The New World 2

By late morning the rest of the group arrived at the Greene farm. Sabrina was introduced to the Greene family, she found out that Carl did indeed got shot but was getting better. T-Dog got fixed up and Ana was on her best behavior. Sabrina found out that Patricia's husband Otis and Shane helped save Carl but Otis didn't make it back. Hershel and the group held a funeral service for Otis.

"Blessed be God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to Him for the gift of our brother Otis, for his span of years, for his abundance of character; Otis, who gave his life to save a child's, now more than ever, our most precious asset. We thank You, God, for the peace he enjoys in Your embrace. He died as he lived, in grace. Shane, will you speak for Otis?"

"I'm not good at it. I'm sorry." Shane answered and put his head down.

Since when is he not good at giving speeches?

"You were the last one with him. You shared his final moments. Please. I need to hear. I need to know his death had meaning." Patricia begged while crying.

Sabrina could tell Shane was hiding something but she didn't know what.

"We were about done. Almost out of ammo. We were down to pistols by then. I was limping, it was bad, ankle all swollen up. 'We've got to save the boy.' See, that's what he said. He gave me his backpack. He shoved me ahead. 'run,' he said. He said, 'I'll take the rear. I'll cover you.' And when I looked back..." Shane stopped and everybody got the picture.

Sabrina looked at Daryl when she felt him elbow her slightly and he was shaking his head about what Shane just said. She looked back to Shane to see him going to the rock pile. "If not for Otis, I'd never made it out alive and that goes for Carl too. It was Otis. He saved us both. If any death ever had meaning, it was his."

Once the funeral was over Sabrina put Ana down and Ana went to hang out with Dale.

"Ya know wha' he said is bullshit right?"

"Do you really think he would kill someone out of cold blood?"

"With the way he was actin' I wouldn't put it passed 'im. Ya've known 'im longer than me."

"All I know is something's changed and I don't like it. Hell he even shaved his head and he told me that he never liked his head that way, so why do it now?"

"Beats me."

Rick whistled for Daryl to come over to the station wagon to look at a map. "If yer to uncomfortable with Shane 'round, ya can set up yer tent by mine."

"Thanks Daryl, I might just do that."

"A'right...shorty." He said smirking and walking off.

Sabrina went to where the group was setting up camp to check on T-Dog. "How are feeling T-Dog?"

"A lot better after I got stitched up."

"That's good."

"Mom?" Ana asked going over to them.

"Yes baby?"

"Do you think we could put up a swing?"

"Um...We would have to ask Hershel first before doing anything like that."

"Ok. You know Shane's been acting weird."

"I noticed that earlier. Do you know what happened Ana?"

"No. Can we not stay near Shane's tent?"

"I've got that covered. We're staying near Daryl."

"Ok." She said then headed to the house.

"Where are you going?"

"To get some water."

"Alright. Just knock first."

"Alright mom."

Sabrina started setting up the tent when Glenn came to her. "Do you need anything from the run?"

"Um... do you think you could pick up some feminine products."

"Ok. What kind?"

Sabrina gave Glenn a look and he started blushing once he realized what she meant. "Ok. Um...anything else?"

"No, I think we're good. Thank you Glenn."

"Not a problem."

Before Glenn could walk away T-Dog came running up to them. "We've got a problem." He said trying to catch his breath.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"Well...there's a walker in the well."

"What?" Glenn asked.

Sabrina and Glenn started following T-Dog to the well with the others closely behind. When they made it there she looked down into the well and saw a very smiley, chubby walker down it.

"How long do you think he's been down there?" Glenn asked.

"Long enough to grow gills." Andrea answered.

"We can't leave him in there. God knows what it's doing to the water." Lori said.

"We gotta get it out." Shane said.

"How are we going to get him out?" Sabrina asked raising an eyebrow.

"Put a bullet through it's head."

"T-Dog, that will contaminate the water more." She said dryly.

"Then I'll go get a rope."

"Whoa, whoa, guys. No." Maggie said.

"Why not? It's a good plan."

"It's a stupid plan."

"Then how do you suggest we get it out Andrea?" Sabrina asked getting irritated.

"I don't know."

"Blowing its brains out will contaminate the water. So that means we have to pull it out alive." Shane declared.

"How do we do that?" Glenn asked.

"Maggie, do you have any kind of meat that we could use?" Dale asked.

Maggie looked at all of them then gave in. "I'll see what I can find." She said then took off.

Ana passed Maggie and went to her mother. "Ana baby I need you to go back to the house for a few minutes."

"Why what's-"

Ana then heard the growl coming from the well. "How are you guys getting that thing out?"

"Ana just do what your momma said and go." Shane snapped.

Sabrina glared at Shane then looked at Ana sweetly. "Ana sweetie, why don't you go hang out with Carl. I'll be there shortly. Ok?"

Ana left without another word. Sabrina went over to Shane and shoved him as hard as she could towards the well. "Who the hell gave you permission to talk to my daughter that way? Nobody."

"She-"

"I had it under control Shane. I don't know what's gotten into you but you better change real fast. If you ever speak to my daughter like that again I will beat the living shit out of you then shoot you like a walker do you understand me?"

"I'm sorry Rina."

"Don't call me that! My name isn't Rina, darlin', sweetie, babe, baby, nothing like that. It's Sabrina."

Sabrina then left the well and went to the house. She went to check on Carl and saw that Ana and Carl were talking. "I hope I'm not interrupting."

"You're not." Carl said smiling.

"Alright. How are you feeling Carl?"

"Fine. In no time I'll be up searching for Sophia again."

Sabrina chuckled at that. "Well make sure you eat and get plenty of rest. You need to get your strength back up if you want to search for her."

"I will."

"You know, I'm like my dad now."

She looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

"We both got shot and survived."

"I guess you're right. Do you want some more water before I leave?"

"No thanks, I'm good."

"Alright. I'll check on you later Carl."

Sabrina left the house and sat by the tents under the cool shade. While the others put their tents up. Andrea, Shane and Carol went to the highway to check to see if Sophia was there waiting. The sun started to go down slowly and Sabrina started making dinner for the group with a little help from Shane. While Carol and Andrea doing the laundry. Lori was with Carl, and Ana was in the RV reading. Glenn and Maggie came back and she knew what happened between them, it was written all over Glenn's face. Lori went to Glenn quickly and he handed her something and Lori hid it in her pants.

Don't tell me she's...

Glenn then came up to Sabrina and handed her want she requested. "Thank you Glenn."

He gave a small smile and walked away.

"What'd Glenn give ya?" Sabrina turned around and came face to face with Daryl.

"Girl stuff."

"Great." He said sarcastically.

"Why do you have a flower?"

"It's not just a flower, it's a Cherokee Rose." She looked at him surprised.

Daryl knows the names of flowers? He sure doesn't look like that type of guy.

"Ok. Who's it for?"

"Carol."

Something in Sabrina hurt and she didn't know why. "Oh. Well she's in the RV."

Daryl walked to the RV leaving Sabrina confused, surprised and in pain. A couple of minutes later Daryl came out of the RV and went into his tent.

"You ok Trixie?" Lori asked.

"Yeah. Can you make everyone's plate? I'm going to get the group to come eat."

"Alright."

Sabrina made her way around gathering the group and she made it to the last person, Daryl.

"Daryl, dinner's ready."

"A'right. And?"

"And I think it's time for you to eat. You've been out there all day searching."

Nothing.

"Please."

Sabrina heard him grunt and the creak of the cot. Daryl came out a few minutes later and the group sat quietly and ate. When they were done Ana went to hang out with Carl before bedtime while Ana, Carol and Lori cleaned the dishes. When the dishes were done Ana came back out of the house and into the tent where her mother was.

"Ready for bed baby?"

"Yeah." She said yawning and rubbing her eyes.

Ana crawled into her cot so Sabrina could tuck her in. "Goodnight Ana. I love you." She said as she kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Love you too." She said then turned to face the tent wall.

Sabrina sighed heavily and layed in her cot. She could hear some movement in Daryl's tent then he finally got silent. She turned away from the tent wall and turned in Ana's direction before falling to sleep.By late morning the rest of the group arrived at the Greene farm. Sabrina was introduced to the Greene family, she found out that Carl did indeed got shot but was getting better. T-Dog got fixed up and Ana was on her best behavior.
