When I got up, I had slept for about a hour, I went out of my tent of help make lunch.
Carol was already making lunch, probably for her dick-head husband. I saw she had a bad bruise me her arm, I went over to help her. "Hey Carol, need some help?" I asked her. She looked up at me and smiled. "That would be wonderful" She replied. I started helping her make lunch for everyone, it was mostly silent as we worked.
Once we finished, we put everything on plates and headed toward some picnic tables we had set up. We put the plates down and Carol took one in for her husband, who was in their tent sleeping. "Thank you, Andy, for making us lunch" Shane said to me. I smiled at him, "Your welcome" I said. Everyone started eating.
Once we finished I got up to go in a walk, when Shane came over to me. "Hey Andy. You going for a walk?" He asked me. "Yeah" I responded, "Would you like to join me?" I asked him. He just nodded his head and we started walking, no where in particular.
"That lunch you and Carol made was good" He said, trying to make a conversation. "Thanks" I replied. "So tell me about yourself" He said to me. "Well what do ya wanna know?" I asked him. "Well, where ya from? Why'd ya leave?" He asked me. "South Carolina. I left because it got overrun by walkers, nothing left for me there" I said to him. "Oh, I'm sorry" He said as he grabbed my hand. I smiled to myself, Shane wasn't bad, though I thought there was something off about him. I liked Daryl too I guess, but I'm not sure f I was looking for anyone while the world was in shit.
We walked the rest of the way in silence, after about 20 minutes we turned around, heading back to the camp. Only making small talk, but still holding hands.
Once we got back, it was getting dark so Shane went to go start a fire. We decided if the rest of the group wasn't back by tomorrow night, we would go out and look for then
Once Shane got a fire going, I sat by him and put my head on his shoulder. I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep at that point. We all just sat there talking about really nothing, Shane was talking about how Jim was going insane, digging holes all day in the 100 degree weather, while I was napping.
I think there was a reason for it, no one just goes around digging holes, but there really was no reason. About 10 minutes of just sitting there, looking at the fire we heard a scream.
It was Andrea's sister, Amy. She was bit. Then a whole pack of walkers came in the camp, attacking people, biting people. "Andy stay by me!" Shae yelled to me. I took my hunting knife out and started stabbing the hell out of the walkers.
One came from behind me and collapsed on me, I couldn't get away, but it didn't bite me yet. Then a arrow went threw its head and it stopped trying to bit me, I got up and saw Daryl there, he gave me a smile then went to go kill more walkers. I got up and most of the walkers were dead or good now. Carol's husband and Amy and some other I didn't know were bit and dead.
I went back to my tent without saying anything to anyone. I hope we can find a cure, this world is sick.
"Knock Knock" I heard a gruff voice say, then Daryl entered my tent. "Hey" I said to him. "Ya okay shorty?" He asked me. "I'm good, thanks for helping me" I said to him. "No problem" He said. "So how was Atlanta? Find Merel?" I asked him. He looked sad, but answered, "No, we found his hand on the roof, we got surrounded and Glenn went out to get a bag that had guns in it and he got kidnapped but we got him back and when we went to get the vehicle, it was gone, and Merle took it" Daryl answered. "Wow, and everyone made it back?" I asked. "Yeah, well get some sleep shorty, I'll see ya in the morning" He said then walked out of my tent.
I went to my bed and tried to fall asleep. Though it was hard, I just layed there for a while when I heard someone come in. I grabbed my knife, just in case it was a stray walker from the nights earlier events. But it was Daryl. "Hey sorry to bother you, but you seemed pretty scared, just wanted to know if ya wanted to come to my tent tonight? I have a extra cot" He said to me. "Yeah, that would be great, thanks Daryl" I replied to him. He smiled and held out his hand. I took it and he led his way to his tent. I got in and the cot was made and ready for me. I slipped into it and said "Good night Daryl, thank you for this." "Good night shorty" He said to me.
I fell asleep quickly after that.
