Day 6
Glenn
Last night, Rick made it pretty clear that his word was law, he didn't want to be questioned, he wanted to be obeyed. He made all the decisions, our group was no longer a democracy. To make matters worse we also no longer had a safe place to stay, and to top it all off Lori and I were pregnant. So Maggie, Daryl, T-Dog and I were out scrounging up some supplies and gas. While Rick and the others were back at the camp getting cleaned up at a small pond where the waterfall was.
There were several things we'd left back at the farm, like: clothes, bags, tents, sleeping pallets, mine and Lori's prenatal vitamins, our medication stash, and most importantly water and food. Daryl and T-Dog were checking out the convince store right next to the gas station of a small town that we'd driven past yesterday before the van ran out. We'd taken the VW bug, because it could fit all four of us, though Daryl did put up a little bit of a fight with me coming. He thought I'd be safer at camp, but I knew that they'd need my skills as a scavenger.
Maggie and I were in the only department store in the town, there were a few walkers that weren't that hard to take care of. Then we grabbed some shopping bags and started stuffing whatever we could find that we needed into them.
Things had changed, but that was okay, because Daryl told me late last night as we laid there trying to get some sleep that he forgave me, he would give Maggie a chance to prove herself but he would never forgive her for going against my wishes and kissing me when I was in a vulnerable position after Daryl got shot by Andrea. I understood this, so did Maggie and she accepted what she was being given.
I was on one of the maternity aisles knowing both Lori and I would need them eventually, but they were women's clothes and I really didn't want to wear women's clothing. Unfortunately I needed something because my jeans were already starting to feel a little tight on me. "Hey Glenn, you wanna get some baby clothes, for when you and Lori have your babies?" Maggie asked as she walked up behind me.
I looked at her. "That sounds good." I agreed. "What do you think Lori would like?" I asked about the maternity clothes for Maggie helped me grab some shirts and pants, that were cheery, because appeartly an expectant mother must before cheerful. Frankly some of the clothes looked a little over the top, between flowers and ruffles. Once we'd gotten enough, Maggie headed to the baby aisle to grab clothes for boys and girls.
I did find some regular looking jeans and white t-shirts for pregnant women that wasn't too bad and would fit me when I got bigger, I just didn't have a choice so I grabbed a few of each.
"Maggie." T-Dog called from the front entrance a few minutes later
"Glenn." Daryl called as well.
"Over here." Maggie and I both called out, we moved into the open so they could see us. Daryl turned to T-Dog and told him to head out to the car. T-Dog nodded and left, then Daryl walked over to us, he wrapped his arm around me and kissed me, I gladly kissed back.
He pulled away after a minute. "We need to get going, walkers are headed right for us, another herd." Daryl informed us, he moved to our pile of bags and grabbed several, Maggie and I each grabbed the rest, came to ten full shopping bags of stuff. We followed him out and loaded it all into the trunk next to the gas cans Daryl and T-Dog had gotten filled, then we just got into the car when we saw and heard the walkers coming. Daryl pushed on the gas pedal as he drove us back to camp.
Rick
While Daryl, T-Dog, Glenn and Maggie went to scavenge up supplies and gas I was getting the rest of the group organized, there was some stuff in the van that we cleared out to make space, and Carol made a comment about wanting to shoot better, so I made a plan to teach her. I'd have her shooting like a pro in no time. After getting the van situated the others started to clean up at the small pond with the waterfall from the dam at the lake we were next to.
I moved to one of the walls to keep watch, I felt the wind blowing as fall was approaching and that got my mind thinking on winter and I knew that we wouldn't be safe out in the open, we needed to get things organized and prepared for the colder weather that was coming in.
Hershel had just gotten back, and Beth was the last one as she headed to the pond. Hershel started up another fire, while Carol, Carl and Lori were sitting around it, or against the walls. I sat down on the a blanket I'd placed for the watchman, the riffle on my lap as I watched the perimeter waiting for the scavenger party to return.
It was about half an hour later when I heard the engine, I turned and saw the car coming back down the street from a town we'd saw a few hours before the van could go no further. It was a good sign to see them coming back I had started to get worried. Daryl parked and got out. "Okay, we got a full car and several cans of gas." T-Dog called to us. The rest got to their feet and headed to the car to unload the back, Beth finished and arrived. "Daryl, Glenn y'all can get cleaned up now." Beth informed them as she moved to check through the bags like the rest so that everyone has what they needed.
"No, I know what you two will do, Maggie you first, then T-Dog, Daryl I need your help with the engine, Glenn get the supplies situated with the rest of the women." I instructed knowing that Daryl and Glenn were going to take the longest, I didn't blame them right now things were quiet and peaceful, so they deserved to have the time with no one else waiting behind them, a look in Daryl's eyes told me he understood. Glenn didn't complain as they moved to obey, so that was a step in the direction I wanted them to go.
Andrea
"Then Michael of course pulls this stupid prank on the senior, he switched the answer keys he'd stolen with a fake and the senior flunked. Naturally Michael ends up gloating and the senior over hears, and that was all it took, the senior lost it. I can't even remember his name, but Michael, him, I'll never forget." I paused in my story as Michonne moved to check my legs which had been going numb, they were bruised and sore from the running and falling I'd done yesterday.
"Continue." Michonne said as she rubbed her hands together then moved to massage the tense muscles to ease the pain and quicken the healing time. Groaned at first but then moaned as it helped.
"So senior over heard and he walks up to Michael as he continues to brag outside the Quaid and hits him, in front of everyone. He continued to hit him, until security pulled him off, Micheal's face was a mess, the girls were screaming and all I could think was that if I did anything I could get expelled and never become a lawyer. So I didn't do anything, and what I regret most about that moment, was that I hated the plaid skirt I'd picked to wear that morning, ironic really. Considering that now I miss that stupid plaid skirt." I finished as tears ran down my cheeks.
Instead of giving me comfort, she finished the message, stood up and mentioned something about hunting before leaving. I wasn't alone though, I had the ghouls to protect me from the walkers. But the silence gave me time to think, that's why I talked, so I didn't have to think about the people I missed, the friends who left me, who I may never see again.
Daryl
Once everything was taken care, the clothes, food and first-aid supplies had been split up, the van now had gas and the engine was checked, everything was good to go. Maggie and T-Dog finished cleaning up, so it was our turn. We went to the small pond that the waterfall drains into, it has a cannel so it ends up back in the lake, it was the perfect place for me and Glenn to finally reconnect after everything that had happened on the farm.
I walked up behind Glenn and wrapped my arms around his waist, he leaned back against me, I kissed his neck, and then slowly pulled the hem of his shirt taking it off over his head. He turned around and pressed his hands to my chest, then spread them under my leather jacket as it slid off.
We had the time, Rick had told us that we would leave first thing in the morning, allowing us to go slow and really enjoy this time instead of rushing through it. Glenn removed my shirt, I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close, I kissed him. Glenn moaned as he opened up for my tongue to explore, our eyes closing as I kissed him long and deep. His arms wrapped around my waist his hands splaying against my back as I tasted him, there were spices, meats and just something that was all Glenn.
I pulled away after a moment as Glenn's hands moved from my back to my arms, I looked at him as he started to back up into the small pond we were using to clean off. We stopped moving as we looked at the intention in each other's eyes, we quickly removed the rest of our clothing before getting into the cold water. It wasn't going to be cold for long as we started kissing again.
I roamed my hands down Glenn's chest, his nipples were real sensitive due to the pregnancy so I avoided them as Glenn moved to the side and laid back on the grass. I put my hands under his knees and moved them to wrap around my waist. Glenn smiled as he knew what was going to happen and he was already getting hard just from the idea, I had to admit so was I.
I used the water as lube to open him up, it had been a while so I wanted to take it nice and slow, this wasn't just a fuck, this, here, what Glenn and I were about to do was usually called making love. I didn't like calling sex that, but in this case with Glenn I'd make an exception.
Glenn moaned as he gripped the grass while my fingers were inside his ass as I loosened and stretched him open to accept my dick with as little pain as possible. Glenn tightened his legs around my waist as I lined myself up, I looked into Glenn's eyes and saw nothing but trust and love. I knew with that one look that he truly did not want to be with Maggie, that he didn't just make that choice because he was pregnant with my kid.
No, he made that decision because he does, love me, I knew this, I could see it and feel from him. I just wasn't ready to say it, I may have felt it in my heart but to confess it, out in the open was something I didn't think I'd ever be able to do. Glenn knew this and he had accepted it.
I eased my way inside, Glenn arched his back in ecstasy as he stifled a moan not wanting the others to hear, they knew what we were doing, they'd have to be idiots not to. I was panting as I fully sheathed myself inside Glenn. Glenn moved and wrapped his hands around my neck and looked me in the eyes as he kissed me again and whispered those three words, the ones I couldn't bring myself to utter.
"I love you." He whispered against my lips, and sealed that declaration against them, I returned the kiss, then pulled almost all the way out before thrusting back in. Glenn moaned, which I swallowed in the kiss, so we wouldn't be heard, not by walkers or our group.
I hadn't put a condom on, Glenn was pregnant and we didn't have any so I had decided that at that moment it didn't really matter that I started to fuck him bareback. Soon I was grunting and moaning as I rutted inside him and he moaned and thrashed and held on as we were both losing our selves to the pleasure of each other's body.
It had been so long since we'd been joined like this and ten minutes later we were both crying out as we came, we were sweaty and entangled around each other halfway in, halfway out of the water, panting and catching our breath. We didn't speak as we calmed, I pulled out, then Glenn unwrapped his legs around my waist and stood up next to me. He cupped his hand in the water and brought it up to wash away the sweat, blood, grime and cum off of me.
I followed Glenn's lead and we continued to wash each other until we were as clean as we'd get without soap, neither T-Dog or I got to that aisle before I heard the herd heading our way and we had to leave. Shampoo, soap and shaving cream were things we'd have to find later. In the meantime we'd all have to deal with it.
We got out and started changing when something caught my senses. "Glenn, move, now." I told him in a hushed whisper, I finished slipping on my boots and he grabbed his shirt while his jeans were still undone. He heard the urgency in my voice as I grabbed my shirt and jacket and we both ran for the group while pulling our shirts on.
"Rick!" Glenn called as we got closer, everyone looked at us as they were about to set to make dinner from some of the can goods we'd been able to find. Rick stood up and looked at us as we arrived, T-Dog was back on the wall, Carl was in Lori's arms while she sat next to Carol and Maggie, Hershel and Beth next to them as Hershel was just putting fresh fire wood on the pit
"What is, what's wrong?" Rick asked as we stopped.
"Rick, walkers are headed this way." I paused as I heard more coming from the other direction. "From both directions." I finished.
"Shit, pack up we're leaving." Rick ordered, everyone stood and immediately grabbed the clothes they had been sorting and were going to change into and packed it all in the vehicles. Carol got in the VW with Hershel's family, while Glenn took a seat in the van with Rick's family and T-Dog. I got back on my bike and Rick lead us away just as the walkers came out of the woods, I took the rear for the moment, things seemed good, but it was going to become a struggle this winter as things went from good to worse too bad to worse again, things I knew would never be perfect, but I would make the most of everyday with Glenn.
Day 19
Carol
We weren't blind, we could see that something had changed between Rick and Lori, he didn't talk to her unless he had to, he barely slept in the same tent, and he never looked at her without distain in his eyes. We don't know what had happened, though that night, a couple of weeks after we lost the farm we finally got answers.
The guys were putting up the tents except for Daryl who was out hunting for our dinner, the girls and I were building a camp fire and checking the canned goods we'd gotten at our last stop to see what we could cook. I was standing next to Lori as she had decided to wash some of the clothes. "Lori, what's going on between you and Rick?" I asked softly, I was one of the few in the group who'd been clueless about Lori's relationship with Shane.
"It's a long story." Lori said, it seemed she really didn't want to talk about it, I was willing to let it go but Rick had been nearby unnoticed and decided that we all deserved to know, since others had been talking about it and a few rumors had gotten started.
Once Daryl got back and dinner was cooked we were sitting around the fire trying to stay warm when Rick stood as he spoke up. "So questions have been going around and rumors are spreading, I'm going to set things straight. The affair between Lori and Shane happened when she believed I was dead, the fact that she couldn't decide who she loved more, is what caused the problems with Shane." Rick sounded bitter and we couldn't really blame him, he had to kill his best friend who tried to murder him because Lori confessed she didn't know who the father was.
"Isn't that right Lori, you don't know who the father of the baby is, well I'm going to set that straight, the baby's mine. Now that you all know the questions and rumors can stop." Rick finished, then sat back down to continue eating the piece of rabbit he'd received. Daryl and Glenn kept quite as they ate, T-Dog, Maggie and Beth didn't say anything, neither did I or Hershel, we all continued to eat.
The rest of what had happened came out over the next couple of days, Lori's confused feelings, mixed signals and then confessing her emotions to the unstable man that Shane had become, who then acted on his feelings and tried to kill her husband and father of her children. But the real question was, had she wished that it was Shane that had lived. With all that said we stopped asking questions believing we had the whole story of what had happened in that field, we were wrong, because Rick never once mentioned Carl, or how he truly defeated Shane that night.
Day 27
Andrea
Michonne took a knife out of her boot and held it by the blade, then very quickly tossed it in the direction of a rodent we spotted, for the last several weeks she had been teaching me to survive, hunt, track, and to hide in plain sight. She threw the knife, it spun then embedded itself in the stomach of the rodent, upon closer inspection it was a raccoon.
Which would be different from rabbits, squirrels, and rats. As Autumn was getting closer animals like deer's and the like were becoming rare, as for the walkers not quite as rare, but as long as we had Michonne's pets they never noticed us.
It felt like life for me, us, had slowed down. There had been a time when I would've been rushing to work, home, work again, dating didn't exist, and then I decided to take one summer off and go on a road trip with my sister who'd decided to take couple of years backpacking before going to college. I had forced myself to slow down to spend three months with Amy, requested by my parents.
We made it to Atlanta and everything changed, my life was over, dating, work, family it was all gone in the blink of an eye. People started to get mutations and come back from the dead, eating each other, the thought of all that had changed and been lost…made me sick.
I had wanted to die, now I was just trying to survive, learning from a woman who barely spoke, she hardly even acknowledged me, never stopped me from talking though. The whole time she skinned the raccoon and set about cooking it, I talked about my parents, my sister, I didn't ask questions at first, I wasn't sure if she'd answer me if I did, so I talked about myself. Things that had gone wrong. It didn't seem to bother her.
She put a stick through the raccoon and put it over the fire as the sun set. "They left you." Michonne finally said, I'd told her all about the walkers on the farm and being left behind.
"Yes, the farm was over run, and everyone was in danger. They must've thought I got caught, I don't blame them, I'm not angry about it." I assured her.
"You are." Michonne told me.
"No I'm not." I said, I was a little be upset and angry about being abandoned by my group, who I thought were my friends.
"You are." It wasn't a question, there was no doubt in her voice, somehow MIchonne just knew I was lying, I wanted to ask how. I didn't, I should've explored this intuition that Michonne seemed to have, it could be a mutation, or just a heightened sixth sense, I didn't question it. I didn't want to know, these mutations had done nothing but cause problems. I was also a little jealous, why didn't I have one. I didn't know then, that I had something so much more important than a mutation.
