For You // R.G.

Chapter 19

Max's POV

"I don't know, I just woke up in the bed. Tucked in and everything." I explain to Sena as we went to the well to get water.

"Maybe it was Rick." She said bluntly. I looked at her, confused why she wont let the whole "Rick having a crush on me" go.

"I already told you, he hates me."

"Hi, Dale." I say as we approached the well. He smiled and said hi back. Sena was getting some water and about to drink it when I heard something coming from the well. I stopped her from taking a sip. All three of us exchanged looks and walked up to the well, where we saw a big, fat, ugly walker splashing around.

"I wouldn't drink that if I were you." Dale said to Sena. She dropped the ladle of well water.

..

"How are we going to get it out of there?" Andrea asked.

"We could shoot it then haul it out with some ropes." T suggested.

"If it just swimming in the water infects it, imagine what blowing its brains out would do." Andrea said

"She's right, there has to be a better way." Glenn said

As if everyone had been told by god, we all looked at Glenn. He instantly knew what we were planning.

"Oh, no- guys, come on." He pleaded

..

"This is a really, really bad idea." Glenn said as we lowered him down. We had an army of ropes tied to him and one he had was to tie around the walker.

"It's going to be okay, Glenn." I try to calm him down. His breathing was echoing against the stone walls of the well.

"Okay, just a little more.." Glenn said uneasily. Everything was okay in the moment. We all were pulling the rope, making sure he didn't fall completely in. Then there was a loud busting noise from behind us and we all were shoved forward. The post we had tied the rope to must have broke. Glenn then started to yell

"GUYS, GET ME OUT!" He started to panic. we were all panicking, trying to collect the extra slack and pull him out. he then came out crawling. He ran away from the well, laying down on the ground, trying to catch his breath.

"I guess we make a new plan.." Dale said. Glenn then got up, he went to dale and handed him a rope.

"Says you." He walked away. We all approached the well, seeing that our plan was successful; Glenn tied the rope around the walker.

"Do we just pull?" Shane asked

As they started to pull, I looked at Sena, unsure of the plan. The walker's flesh looked a little too worn to hold his insides. I was about to say something when they pulled the walker to the outside. I started to regain some hope but then it was stuck

"Pull harder!" Someone yelled. I then saw his abdomen start to stretch,

"Wait, guys-" it was too late, the bottom half of the walker fell in the well, contaminating everything. its guts and blood spilled out, everyone groaned in disgust. The walker was still alive, he started to growl and claw towards us when T went up to it and hit it with a shovel. It was dead. He threw the shovel to the ground and walked towards us

"Yeah, shooting it is a bad idea." He walked away.

...

I was eating with Sena and Jamie on the porch when I saw Glenn and Lori having a deep conversation on the other side of the yard. I saw Lori hand Glenn a note, she looked around, suspiciously.
