Oh hi there.
Well, here we are at chapter three. I want to sincerely thank you all for your kind reviews, they make this story so much easier to write. It makes me smile that so many people are liking this, especially since it's a work in progress and I don't have all the small things figured out yet.
Anyway, that's all I had to say.
I don't own anything. Enjoy!
Chapter Three
"You know, if you hadn't insisted on going to your parent's-"
"I get it Robert, okay! I'm an idiot for checking on my mother and father!"
Robert sighed and said nothing.
They had been stuck in traffic for hours. Robert was blaming her, she was blaming the mass amounts of people trying to flood the city. Carrie sighed quietly in the silence and rested her cheek on her fist. A tear escaped her eye, and she quickly wiped it away. This had been going on since they left her parent's home. She hated fighting with Robert, and she just lost her parents.
A plane flew above them, and a building near the street across from them exploded. Carrie flinched, and the realization of what they were doing hit her like a bag full of bricks.
"Rob..." Robert looked at her.
"They're bombing the streets..."
Robert's eyes widened and he looked at the street that was now aflame.
"Dammit!" he yelled, getting out of the car. Carrie followed him. Without a word, he grabbed their bags, shoving hers in her hands.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"We have to go, before they decide to bomb us, too," he explained, draping the thick strap of her bag on her left shoulder, letting it hang on her right side.
"Where are we going to go, Rob?" she asked as he dragged her along the lines of cars.
"I don't know, Carrie, we just have to go!"
They continued to dodge through lines of cars, until they ran into a woman with long, dark hair and angular face. She looked them over before telling them to follow her, and they did, though hesitantly.
Turns out, the woman hadn't meant them any harm. In fact, she lead them outside the city, where a small group was already gathered.
Carrie looked around at the small, scared group. She didn't know what was going to happen now.
She just hoped they would be safe, and not end up like her parents.
Short chapter, I know. I might have some interaction with Daryl in the next few chapters because... it's Daryl... and this is a Daryl/OC story... kinda makes sense, don't you think?
So stay tuned for that. Next chapter might be in his point of view and there will be a time jump. I think I'll start bringing the episodes into the story now since I've pretty much got the introduction done. I'm not sure.
Why don't you click on that little review button and tell me what you think? Yeah, you know you want to. Please?
Anyway.
Have a good day, guys. Thanks for reading.
