Chapter 47 | Squeeze
Episode 10x9(Squeeze)
"I'm sorry for putting you in that position the other day, you don't owe me."-Magna
--------------------------------------
-We all look around with our flashlights to see if there's another way out of here.
-"Uh hey guys." Jerry says and points up to where we fell from with his flashlight.
-We look at Alpha staring down at us.
-Carol screams at her out of frustration.
-------------------------------
-Magna tries climbing up from where we fell but it's no use and she falls down.
-"I almost had it." Magna says.
-"Nah it's too high you'll risk breaking your neck. We need to find a better way." Daryl says.
-Daryl looks around with his flashlight and notices something.
-"You got something." I ask, hoping that we can get out of this cave as fast as possible.
-"Groundwaters deep in here it's coming from outside." Daryl says.
-"I don't see a way across." Carol says.
-"Whoa go back, go back." Aaron says.
-Carol moves her flashlight revealing some rocks in between the walkers.
-"We could use those to jump across." Aaron says.
-"Wait for real?" Kelly says.
-"One wrong slip on those rocks and it's over." I say, fucking whisperers putting us in this situation.
-"You ready? Let's go." Daryl says to all of us then jumps on the first rock. Carol follows after and so does Magna.
-I jump on the first rock after Magna gets off of it. It's times like these that I really am glad I did Track and field for 2 years while in school. Jumping the hurdles was something I was actually good at.
-Kelly jumps on the rocks but trips causing her to fall down. She manages to get the walkers to let go of her. We all make it across safely. A walker grabs Kelly's ankle and Jerry cuts the walker's arm off.
-"Hey. Hand me that thing." Daryl says about the walker arm.
-"Knock yourself out dude." Jerry says and hands Daryl the walker's arm.
-Daryl lights the arm on fire using the arm as a torch.
-"I need you to stay here and keep everyone together." Daryl says to Connie.
-"How are we doing on food." Aaron says.
-"Not great." Jerry says.
-"Food? How long you think we're gonna be here." Kelly says worried.
-"Hey, no worries. Walkers got here somehow. We'll get out." Jerry says.
-"I think we know exactly how they got here." Aaron says.
-"This is where Alphas herd. It's not at the national forest like you were told. So who you were talking to was lying." I say to Aaron.
-"We don't know that she was lying." Aaron says.
-"It seems like it. We have to assume we're not alone." I say.
-Connie asks if Carols ok.
-"I'm fine, just a little winded." Carol says.
-"She's claustrophobic." Daryl says about Carol.
-"Why didn't you think of that before you got us all trapped down here." Magna says.
-"Hey, it's not the time for this." Aaron says.
-"Why not? Seems like we have plenty of it." Magna says.
-"Magna how about you don't start this now." I say.
-She ignores me. "What the hell were you thinking huh? Running off like that by yourself." Magna says to Carol.
-"Hey we don't have time for this shit. We got in this mess together. We can get out of it together. Now follow me. I think I found a way out." Daryl says.
--------------------------------------
-We spend a while looking for a way out and eventually we decide to take a break for a bit. I however am only worrying about what Maya and Alden must be thinking right now. I don't know how long we've been in this cave but I know it's been more than a day since I left with the others to look for this herd, and where did that get us stuck in a cave.
-"Hey can I get matches." Magna says to Daryl.
-"You should try to take it easy for a minute." Daryl says to her.
-"I can't. I need to do something." Magna says.
-Daryl hands her the matches.
-"Thanks." She says.
-"I'm coming with you." I say to Magna and get up from the cave ground .
-"I'm sorry for putting you in that position the other day, you don't owe me." Magna says while we are looking around with matches.
-"Don't worry about it, I just still wanna know why. Do you really not trust us?" I ask.
-"I trust you. It's just with everything going on I just wanted a back up if things went bad at the hilltop." Magna says.
-"I get it." I say. And then hear the noise of people running.
-"Do you hear that?" I say and then whisperers come out of the darkness attacking us.
-"Skins!" Magna yells to alert the others.
-One of the whispers pin me against the rocks but I use all of my hatred to get them off of me. He falls to the ground and before he can get up I start stabbing him. Each stab for time every person that they have killed. Joanna, Addy, Rodney, Henry, Tammy, Tara, Frankie, DJ, Ozzy, Alek and Siddiq. I keep on stabbing the man well past the point he is dead.
-"Hey he's dead you got him." Aaron says and puts his hand on my shoulder to get me to stop.
-"Let's go." Daryl says. And we all get out of this part in the cave.
-We all accidently go separate ways, good thing it leads to the same spot.
-"If we don't follow each other we're going to get split up in the dark." Kelly says, interpreting what Connie signed.
-"She's right we stick together." Carol says.
-"At least we know there's a way out." Jerry says.
-"Yeah. But where?" Magna says.
-"I think they went this way." Jerry says.
-"You see where they went." Daryl asks.
-"Not exactly but I know a road sign when I see one." Jerry says and a light gets pointed to an arrow carved into the rock.
-"Hey. Come on." Daryl says and we all follow him.
-"This is it." Daryl says, finding a path.
-We crawl through this really tight part in the cave.
-"Hey you okay back there?" Aaron asks Jerry.
-"Yeah I'm just a 6'2 dude who had trouble fitting in airplane bathrooms. Why wouldn't I be okay?" Jerry says sarcastically.
-"Fair enough." Aaron says.
-"Alright I'm out, follow my voice." Daryl says.
-Magna gets through.
-"Come on." Daryl says and I hand Daryl my bow so I can crawl out easier and he helps pull me up a bit.
-Kelly is right behind me and gets out as well.
-"Carol! Carol!" Daryl says when she isn't responding.
-"I'm here." She says, sounding scared.
-"You hurt?" Daryl asks.
-"I'm okay." Carol says.
-"Can you see my light?" Daryl says to her.
-"Yes." She says back, still sounding scared.
-"Just follow my light." Daryl says again.
-"I can't." Carol says.
-"You can do it Carol." I say.
-"We're gonna get through this together. Come on. Come on." Daryl says to her.
-Carol crawls out of the tight section of the cave.
-"Go, go, go." Jerry yells from still being in the crawl space in the cave and then we hear the sounds of walkers.
-"Jerry come on." Aaron says.
-Me and Daryl help pull up Connie and Aaron as fast as possible.
-"Jerry. You're almost there!" Aaron yells down to him.
-"Guys I'm stuck." Jerry says.
-"Here take my hand." Daryl says and reaches down for him.
-"Ahh. My feet! They got my feet! They're biting my feet!" Jerry says.
-"Take your gear off." I say hoping that he can fit through with it off.
-Aaron and Daryl pull him up and we check his feet to see if he got bit.
-"You're okay they didn't bite through." Kelly says.
-I spot some light peaking through the cave. I get relief hoping that it's an easy exit for us.
-"Hey look." I say to the others and walk up closer to the light.
-"Wait!" Daryl says and catches me before I walk off the cliff I didn't notice.
-Daryl drops the walker torch down below revealing a long drop along with hundreds of walkers down below.
-I could've just died from being a dumb ass and not paying attention. I need to make sure to keep my head on straight.
-----------------------
-We get into a section of the cave that used to be a mineshaft.
-"Why are we looking at it?" Magna says.
-"We have to be very careful if we take out the wrong piece this whole thing is gonna collapse." Kelly says, interpreting what Connie signs.
-"Alright find something to dig with." Daryl says.
-We all start clearing stuff away to get out.
-"Hey check this out. Somebody left this crate of dynamite." Kelly says walking over with a stick of it.
-"Yeah that's really cool. Maybe somebody left it there because it's obviously insanely dangerous. That things sweatier than I am. I need you to put it back very carefully." Jerry says.
-Kelly puts the dynamite back as gently as possible.
-"Hey, why don't you take a rest." Aaron says to Magna.
-"I can rest when we get home." Magna says.
-"You in a hurry?" Aaron says.
-"I just don't wanna hang out here any longer than I have to. Do you?" Magna says.
-"No but you barely rested. You haven't eaten anything. You never stop." Aaron says to her.
-"I didn't leave things good with Yumiko." Magna says.
-"I'm sorry." Aaron says.
-"Me too." Magna says.
---------------------------------
-We manage to make a hole to the outside.
-"Come on go." Daryl says.
-Kelly tries to see if she can fit through.
-"Just a little more." She tells us.
-"Hey where's Carol?" Daryl says.
-"Damn it." He says and runs after her when he notices the crate of dynamite is exposed again.
-And explosion goes off a few minutes later and this causes the beam holding up the mineshaft to fall in.
-"Come on move." Aaron says while holding the beam up so we can get out.
-Magna and Connie go to help Daryl and Carol.
-"Hey where are you going?" Aaron yells to them.
-Kelly gets out first.
-"We got freaks." She yells down to us.
-"Ava go!" Aaron says.
-I get up as fast as I can to help Kelly fight the whisperers.
-I stab one of them in the head. And one is coming at us from the trees and I shoot them with my bow.
-"Come on!" Aaron yells to the remaining people in the cave. Daryl gets up from the hole.
-"Give me your hand I'll pull you up." Daryl says and he pulls Carol out of the cave.
-"Get outta here!" Magna yells from inside the cave still.
-"Jerry give me your hand!" Aaron yells.
-Jerry gets out of the cave just in time before another huge explosion goes off causing the rock to fall down over the hole.
-"No!" Kelly cries out because Connie and Magna were still in there.
-Me and Jerry try to comfort Kelly.
-Daryl throws around rocks hoping he can refind the hole we came out of.
-"Daryl. Daryl it will take us a week to clear this." Aaron says.
-"Then help me!" Daryl says.
-"No! We can't! This blast is going to call walkers and whisperers from a hundred miles from here. We don't want our backs pressed against this mountain when they come. We can't save them if we're dead." Kelly says.
-"Come on." Aaron says and helps Daryl off the rock pile.
-"Go ahead and say it to me. I deserve it. Just say it to me. You were right about everything. Just say it." Carol says while crying.
-Daryl tries to walk away from her but she grabs him.
-"No please. You cared about her and now she's gone because of me. Please just say it! Please say it." Carol says pleading.
-"Go home tell the others we found the horde." Daryl says.
-"Where are you going?" I ask.
-"They got out before us. There's gotta be another way in." Daryl says and walks away.
-We follow his instructions and start on our way back home.
