I walked closer to the man "come on John, you don't need the gal let her go" he grips Sophia harder by the neck that she coughs through the wails of terror. He laughs "oh yeah and you make a run for me? Yeah not in a million a-hole" Shane has the shotgun lowered not risking the possibility of what would happen if he gunned for it "let the fucking girl go" he screams. John covers her ear with his free hand laughing "we should wash your mouth out with soap, come on Luke who are you kidding, come with me" I look at him honestly confused.

He says again "really you dont think your better off sticking with me? We'll be a two man recking crew, I can set aside what we went through in school I really can, what do ya say?" He looks at me with a fake smile. I look at Shane and shrug "sure why not im game" Shane looks at me in distress and shock, but I give him a look that said 'get ready to attack'. He smiles "good choice let them have the gal I just was using her as a bargain tool" he throwed Sophia on the ground and Shane tended to her. I walk with John and see Daryl in the bushed, I nod, he shoots an arrow at Johns shoulder and he screams falling back on his ass.

I jump on him and punch him before he can fight back, he curses up a storm until he is able to kick me back to a nearby tree. He screams a war cry and kicks me in the stomach more and Daryl trys to intervene throwing him off me I pick myself up "no I got him, give that to me at least" he looks at me not sure where I was going with this but understood. He pushes me back to the tree banging my head on the trunk repeatedly and I grab the arrow in his shoulder and push it further in and then ripped it out hoping it hit a vein.

I scream kicking him in the crotch, he crys a deep cry and suddenly a few walkers apear behind the tree line, Darly takes care of the first few and yells "come on we can stand here forever!" I punch John in the jaw and and tell Darly to go and take Sophia back to the rest of the people, he looks at me worried but then runs to Shane who was about to come help. I tackle John to the ground and punch him over and over "you know what John?" I yell between blows "I wanted to do this way before the dead came back" he laughs spitting blood in my eyes pushing me off him "same here string bean, but I got to say you got one hell of a punch" I smirk ducking out of the way of a punch.

Walkers start go pounce on us and we fight them back, me using the arrow I pulled (now knowing I should have been using it from the start after I pulled it out) and John with his bare fists. I take the time he is stuck bashing a woman's head into a rock, to jab at him his head but he turns trying to block the arrow and it stabs his head but it hits his hand going directly through, he screams and pushes me up pulling the arrow out of his hand and stumbles backward into a stick that stabbed him in the side of the stomach. I'm cringe immediately. He screams coughing up blood and I deal with the rest of the walkers with my machete I picked back up. He looks at me with wide eyes "please dont leave me like this!" He crys.

I walk back in forth looking at him crying like a child, I honestly debate weather to leave him or not to help him, but I nod "help you well isn't that a nice new development, I could help you but then you would turn on me" he pleads and says he wouldn't "im not to sure but heres a the thing, the group I came upon aren't to fond to child kidnappers and they wouldnt pass the medical supplies to help you" he trys to pray to god to help him and I stare at him for a moment and then drive the blade into his skull.

The worst part was I wasn't bothered from killing him, I seemed relieved in a way, like a stress was lifted from my shoulders. I grab the weapon he had and checked the ammo "nothin" it was completely empty and that made me laugh even more. I was more prepped for this world then the damn muscle packing jock, that was definitely something I wouldn't forget,  he in the past world order was the superior but now I stood over him.

I walked back to the rest of the guys at the road and they all looked at me and thanked me for braving the full force of who took Sophia, especially Carol who hugged me crying "thanks for that Luke" I nod and Rick walks over to me, who took charge of the group "where are you off to Luke?" He asks and I just shrug "wasnt going anywhere special just wander around" I clean my blade with a wash cloth and he talks "well were heading to the CDC to get some answers would you like to join?" I shrug looking at everyone going around the RV doing diffrent things and I smile "sure why the hell not" I shake his hand.
