It happened so fast. So quick, I didn't even get to say goodbye to dad. I remember holding onto Carl's hand as mom grabbed all the photos and important things and hurried to get us out. It was scary and insane what was happening... I wanted to do my best and kept Carl from ever seeing any of that.
Everything that happened that day was a blur to me; I don't even remember when we made camp when we met up with people... I just remember when things finally got quiet and felt at ease. I realized that starting today this was my new life. As big sister I knew I had to do my best to keep my mom and little brother safe.
As the days went on I started to settle into our little camp. Carl liked a little girl named Sophie, and a couple other kids in the camp. I was doing my best to learn how to defend and hunt so I could use those skills later on. Shane didn't approve he felt it was his job to protect us, my father would have wanted that... No my father would have wanted me to defend myself, which lucky for me having a father who was a cop paid off.
One guy in our camp was willing to teach me and take me hunting. He was dirty and rough looking but I didn't care he was willing to teach I was willing to learn. His name was Daryl.
"You're doing that all wrong, here let me." Daryl takes the crossbow and shows me what to do. It's strange watching and strange holding but I feel I'll get the hang out of it soon.
"Now try again." I take a deep breath and release; I smile because it made the target.
"Don't get overly excited you still have lots to learn." I nod my head and smile small at Daryl. People may call him an asshole but I feel like he's got a soft side to him.
As we leave the little forest area so much commotion going on. I hear someone yell.
"Sara? Where's Sara?" My heart stops no, that can't be. My voice quietly squeaks out.
"Dad... Daddy?" I run and slam into my dad and just cry.
Little did I know everything was about to change. The world was already over, but things were about to get worse.
