Camila was still handcuffed, though she was allowed to walk around now. Shane, watching her every move
"I don't want to alarm anybody, but we may have a bit of a problem" Dale said before he pointed at Jim in the distance who was digging. The whole camp went to Jim and watched as he dug
"Hey, Jim" Shane said but was ignored. "Jim, why don't you hold up, all right? Just give me a second here, please"
"What do you want?" Jim asked annoyed
"We're all just a little concerned, that's all" Shane said
"Dale says you been out here for hours" Morales spoke up
"So?" Jim asked
"So why are you digging?" Shane asked. "Are you heading to China, Jim?"
"What does it matter? I'm not hurting anyone" Jim said
"Yeah, except maybe yourself" Dale spoke up. It was kinda boring. So Camila tuned them all out. It ended with Shane restraining Jim. This camp was a shitshow
Night had fallen and everyone was in a good mood. They were all laughing and talking around the fire. Camila was still in cuffs. She sat beside Jesse as everyone was eating
"When can I get out of these cuffs?" Camila asked
"When I say so" Shane said. Camila rolled her eyes
"That sure is tough, huh?" Jesse asked as he laughed at Camila
"I can still strangle you" She said causing Jesse to shut up. She gave him an innocent smile. Amy left to go pee. Less than a minute later, everyone heard a scream. Everyone's heads shot up and saw a walker gnawing on Amy's arm. There were walkers everywhere. More people began screaming
"Son of a bitch" Camila muttered. Everyone began freaking out
"Jesse! Toss me a weapon!" Camila yelled. Jesse tossed her a bat, before grabbing his wrench. Shane cocked his rifle before firing at the walkers. Camila had her bat ready. She knew it'd be a little uncomfortable in handcuffs, but she didn't have a choice. A walker approached her and she swung the bat, smashing the walker's head. It collapsed. Jesse beat another walker with his wrench. Camila swung at another walker, and took its head clean off
"And that's a home run, ladies and gentlemen!" Camila announced proudly. A walker came from behind but Jesse took it out
"You should pay more attention" Jesse told Camila. A walker was approaching them from Jesse's side
"Nah! Duck!" Camila commanded. Jesse ducked and she hit the walker with the bat, killing it
"Nice one" He said
"Thanks" She responded. As the group continued to fight off, well like 5 people out of the 20 did. Andrea had started screaming because her sister got bit. Camila took out another walker. Blood splattering all over her face and clothes. It was left and right. She kept bashing their skulls in. She was playing a game with herself to see how many she could take out. The sounds of gunshots rang out. The group had been cornered to the RV
"Swing batter batter! Swing!" Camila yelled out she killed another walker. That's when they all heard an array of gunshots. She assumed the group had come back from Atlanta. Then, soon enough they were all dead. Camila was panting. She dropped the blood-covered bat
"I got 26" She said in between breaths
"I got 13.." Jesse said shocked that Camila had gotten so many. Camila dropped to her knees as she tried to catch her breath
"I need to work out more" She said. Glenn saw her and rushed over to her
"A-Are you okay? You've got blood all over you" He said worriedly. She gave him a small smile before
"It's not mine" She said as she tried to wipe the blood off her face. Glenn noticed her cuffs
"You're in handcuffs?" He asked
"Oh, yeah. Apparently I'm on this camp's top 10 most wanted" She said with a grin. He was confused but didn't get a chance to respond as Andrea sobbed for her sister. Amy was dead. Honestly, Camila didn't really care. Amy had slapped Camila, so this was karma
Morning had come around and Andrea hadn't moved from her spot. She was in such shock that her sister was dead. However, Camila had more important issues
"Shane, can you let me be free now?" She asked
"Absolutely not" He said
"Bitch, I helped yall protect this camp last night in handcuffs!" She defended herself
"You're a criminal" Shane said. Camila rolled her eyes
"You wanna know what's criminal? Sleeping with your best friend's wife" She responded. Shane gave her this crazy look before he wrapped his hand around her throat. She couldn't breathe
"Don't you talk about that" He threatened. She kicked him in the nuts, causing him to let go of her. He dropped to the ground as he groaned in pain. She squatted down next to him
"Don't threaten me. If I could get away with murder, what else do you think I can do?" She asked with a smile before walking off. She saw Jesse who was holding an axe
"Use the axe break the cuffs" She told him
"Okay" He said. He went to swing down the axe
"Woah, woah, woah. What's going on, here?" Rick asked causing Jesse to stop
"I'm getting rid of these cuffs" Camila told him
"You might accidentally lose a hand" Rick tried to reason
"I won't miss" Jesse said
"Yeah, he won't miss" Camila said
"Why don't we just take the cuffs off?" Rick asked
"Well, that's an excellent idea, Rick. Please, will you do the honors?" She asked. Rick took out a key and unlocked her cuffs. She had bruises from the cuffs but she felt free
"Thank you" She said
"Damn, Shane put those on tight" Jesse said as he looked at her bruised wrists
"I told you" Camila exclaimed as she rubbed her wrists. Camila looked at Jesse. "Do you think anyone would notice if Shane went missing?"
"Yes, people would notice" Jesse deadpanned
"Damn" Camila muttered. The duo watched as Rick tried to approach Andrea, only to get a gun in his face. Yet, nobody did anything about it as Rick slowly stepped back. Camila scoffed
"Oh! When I threaten a wife beater with a knife, I get put in cuffs! She points a loaded gun at somebody and suddenly it's okay" Camila exclaimed
"She just lost somebody" Lori said
"Girlypop, she just pointed a gun at your hubby.." Camila stated. Lori just shook her head. Daryl couldn't believe his eyes
"Yall can't be serious. Let that girl hamstring us? The dead girl's a time bomb" Daryl explained
"I hate to say it, but he's right. I'm a good shot. I could snipe her, trust" Camila spoke up
"You are not getting a gun" Shane told her trying to get in her face. These two had mad beef
"Why don't you back the hell off?" Jesse asked as he pushed Shane back
"If you won't let her do it. I'll do it. I can hit a turkey between the eyes from this distance" Daryl said
"No. For God's sakes, let her be" Lori said
"Bitch, that is a walker waiting to get up. And when it does happen, your ass can't defend yourself so you're gonna scream for someone to save you and when no one comes. I'll be watching and I'm gonna let your ass get eaten" Camila told Lori. Everyone just kind of stared at her
"What the fuck?" Glenn asked. Camila looked around
"Sorry, pookie. I'm on my period" She told the man before sticking out her tongue
"He's not gonna fall for th-" Jesse was cut off
"Oh, I get it. I know.. you guys get.. hormonal and shit" Glenn said trying to be understanding
"What the fuck?" Jesse asked wondering how Glenn actually fell for that. Daryl scoffed and walked off. Daryl and Morales went to put some guy in the fire but Glenn stopped them
"This is for geeks. Our people to over there" Glenn claimed
"What's the difference? They're all infected" Daryl said
"Sorry, Glenn, but Daryl has a point. I mean, if we don't burn them, we risk cross contamination with plants" Jesse said
"Huh?" Camila looked at him confused
"This is like the black plague. Burn the bodies. Get rid of the sickness" Jesse said
"Yeah!" Camila cheered
"We don't burn them!" Glenn yelled, upset. Everyone just kind of stared at him. "We bury them. Understand?"
Daryl and Morales sighed before dragging the body to the hole
"You reap what you sow" Daryl announced. Morales dropped the body
"You know, shut up man" Morales said pissed off
"Yall left my brother for dead! You had this coming" Daryl said before walking off
"A walker got him. A walker bit Jim!" Jacqui proclaimed to the group causing everyone to look at Jim. The group started to circle Jim, like a pack of hungry wolves, waiting to pounce. Camila had an axe in her hands as Jesse had a wrench. Daryl had a pickaxe
"I'm okay" Jim said nervously
"Show it to us" Daryl told the man. Jim could see he was cornered. He picked up a shovel to defend himself
"Easy Jim" Shane said
"Grab him" Daryl said
"Put it down, Jim" Shane said. T-Dog came from behind and grabbed Jim causing him to drop the shovel. Daryl ran over and lifted up Jim's shirt. Bloody teeth marks were seen on Jim's left side of his abdomen
"I'm okay. I'm okay" Jim repeated. T-Dog let Jim go as everyone backed away. Jim kept repeating he was okay like a madman. Jim was forced to sit down while the group had a discussion
"I say we put a pickaxe in his head" Daryl said
"I agree" Camila said as she raised her hand
"Of course you do.." Shane muttered
"What's that supposed to mean?" Camila asked with a sweet smile
"That you're a psycho bitch" Shane spat out
"I can show you psycho bitch when I take this axe and cut off your fingers and toes one by-" Camila was cut off by Jesse
"We're talking about Jim, guys" Jesse said trying to get everyone back on the topic at hand
"Okay, is that what'd you want if it were you?" Shane asked Daryl referring to his first comment
"Yeah, and I'd thank you while you did it" Daryl said
"Right like, put me out of my fucking misery" Camila said
"I hate to say it- I never thought I would- but maybe Daryl's right" Dale said
"Jim's not a monster, Dale, or some rabid dog" Rick spoke out
"Not yet" Camila said earning some glares
"Look, that wasn't what I was sugge-" Dale was cut off
"He's sick. A sick man. We start down that road, where do we draw a line?" Rick asked
"A sick man that will die. There's no getting around that. He will die. It's not about if, it's about when. Jim is just gonna suffer until he dies. We might as well do the man a solid and put him out of his misery" Camila explained. Rick gave her a glare
"You don't know that!" He said. Camila just kinda stared at him
"Bitch, I don't know if it's because you were in a coma or some shit, but hi. I've been conscious since this shit started. I've seen it happen enough times. That man will die" Camila retorted
"She's right, Rick" Daryl said
"What if there was a chance we could get him help?" Rick asked
"I would be shocked" Jesse said
"Listen, I heard the CDC was working on a cure" Rick said. Camila choked on her spit
"I heard that too. Heard a lot of things before the world went to hell" Shane said
"What if the CDC is still up and running?" Rick asked
"Man, that is a stretch right there" Shane said
"Why?" Rick asked
"It's a lot of what ifs. I think we should head north. Nobody likes the fucking cold, maybe these undead fuckers won't either" Camila said
"No, we should head to Fort Benning. It'll have everything we need" Shane said
"If it hasn't been overrun" Jesse retorted
"It's away from the hot zone. Now listen to me. If that place is operational, it'll be heavily armed. We'd be safe there" Shane said
"The military were on the front lines of this thing. They got overrun. We've all seen that" Rick explained
"Rick's got a point. Look at Atlanta. They fucking bombed Atlanta" Camila said
"The CDC is our best choice and Jim's only chance" Rick said. Daryl looked at Jim before nodded
"You go looking for aspirin, do what you need to do. Someone needs to have some balls to take care of this damn problem!" Daryl yelled as he went to kill Jim, only to get a gun to the head. Daryl froze
"Hey! Hey! Hey! We don't kill the living" Rick said. Camila rolled her eyes as Shane got in between Jim and Daryl. Daryl lowered his weapon as he stared at Rick
"That's funny coming from a man who just put a gun to my head" Daryl said
"We may disagree on some things, not on this. You put it down" Shane told Daryl
"He's a time bomb!" Camila yelled, though nobody seemed to care. She groaned
"They'll get it, one day" Jesse tried to reassure Camila
Everyone was at Amy's funeral. Most people were crying, Camila was most certainly not one of those people. Camila. Camila cleared her throat
"Here lies Amy. The younger sister of Andrea. Amy was a blonde with blue eyes. A beauty who was taken far too early. Amy was in college. Amy was a normal girl, who wasn't built for this world. That's why she's about to be buried six feet under. Amy was a bitch who slapped me and that's why she's dead!" Camila proclaimed leaving everyone shocked. Nobody could even process what had just happened, they were so shocked
"Thank you. That's all" Camlia said before she left the funeral
"I.." Jesse trailed off. Eventually the funeral ended. The group was headed to the CDC, not like Camila had a choice. Where was she gonna go? Morales and his family decided to go their separate way. Camila was in the RV.
"Guys let's play truth or dare. I'll go first. Jesse, truth or dare" Camila said
"Um, truth" Jesse responded
"Is it true that you're a virgin?" Camila asked causing Jesse to deadpan at her. She had a grin on her face
"It is not true" Jesse denied
"Eehh, wrong!" Camila said as she made an x with her arms. Jesse sighed before nodding
"Fine, it's true" Jesse said
"What?! You're a virgin, Jesse? How?!" Glenn asked confused. Jesse was a good looking man. It's not like he couldn't get any
"Well, I'm not really into that kind of thing. I'm asexual" Jesse said
"Asexual? Like the reproduction? You can reproduce asexually?" Glenn asked not comprehending what he was just told. Jesse chuckled and shook his head
"No, I'm not really into sex. I mean, it's not like I wouldn't do it. I'm just not really interested in it" Jesse admitted. Glenn nodded kind of understanding now
"Camila, truth or dare?" Jesse asked
"I'll go with truth" She said
"Are you a dom or a sub?" Jesse asked trying to get back at Camila for her embarrassing question
"Trick question, it's actually both. I love dominating a man, watching him squirm beneath me. But at the same time, I also enjoy being dominated by a man. Getting choked to the point till I can't breath" Camila said truthfully. Jesse face palmed. Glenn had listened to the entire thing
"Bitch, you're supposed to get all uncomfortable. Not fucking answer it like that. You've managed to gross me out" Jesse said as he shivered
"Hey, Glenn.. you got a downstairs situation" Dale told the Korean. Glenn's face look mortified as he snapped his head to the front. Camila and Jesse laughed
The group had finally made it to the CDC. Rotting corpses littered the outside. The smell was disgusting. Jim had ended up being left on the way there. He didn't make it
"Mm tasty" Camila said as the group approached the CDC on foot. The door was closed with metal. Shane banged against it, but no response. There was no one here
"There has to be. The shutters are down" Rick said
"Walkers!" Daryl yelled getting everyone's attention. They took out the walker
"You led us into a graveyard!" Daryl yelled angrily
"He made a call" Shane said
"It was the wrong damn call!" Daryl screamed out. Shane and Daryl were in each other's faces. Camila looked up at the camera
"Hey, lil bro. You should open up this door, or I'll kill myself right in front of you" Camila said before she stuck a gun to her head and cocked it
"What the hell is Camila doing?" Jesse asked
"It looks like she's gonna kill herself" Shane said
"I'll do it!" She yelled. Then suddenly, the door opened
"Voila!" She said proud of herself
