Chapter 7: Part 1
Cherry and Daryl were just about to enter into small local grocery store as Daryl swung his arm out in-front of Cherry before she could step inside. "Whoa there girly, just give me a moment." Daryl walked over to the window of the store and knocked upon the glass, "Just wait for it."
Cherry rolled her eyes along with adding to her attitude, a small shake of the head. Daryl looked over at Cherry and pointed to her pocket, "You got yourself a gun?" He asked as Cherry looked down and felt her pockets. "Does it really look like I have a gun with me Daryl… Of course I don't because someone was being a Sir. Rush-A-Lot back at the prison… Where my gun is!" Cherry narrowed her eyes as the two were caught up in a heated glaring contest.
"You want to run your mouth by me again girly?" Daryl growled at her as Cherry walked closer to him. "Yeah I do hillbilly, and the name's Cherry, Darley." Cherry mocked Daryl just as he was about to what seemed like hit or punch Cherry, a walker came slamming its face into the window pane.
"Looks like we got some company inside, girly." Daryl jokingly said as she crossed her arms but followed behind Daryl as the two neared the front entrance.
As they entered the store, it seemed rather empty. Other than the one walker that was at the glass window; the store was vacant. "Alright, you go look for food and I'll get medicine since I actually know what to get." Cherry threw the order at Daryl as he cooperated for once and went down the food isle. The grocery store was nearly empty, dust was pilling everywhere, shelves were knocked down, bags of crumbled; stale chips were everywhere, even money just lying all across the ground. "Hm." Cherry tilted her head while picking up some of the money off the ground. There were all sorts of bills lying around the cash register booths. Picking up the money, Cherry collected probably a total of $58.40. Grabbing two Twenty dollar bills, one Five dollar bill, one One dollar bill, one five cents coin, one ten cents coin and a twenty-five cents coin. "Maybe when Judith is older she'll want to know what money used to be like." Cherry smiled to herself as she tucked the money away in her back pocket, "Now for medicine." Cherry jumped over the cash register booth for quicker access towards the isles but as her feet landed on the ground, Cherry lost her sense of balance and fell onto the ground. "What the?" Cherry looked down at her feet to where she seen a dead walker's corpse. Decaying along with a pressed in stomach in which the guts have spilled out of. "Oh god!" She shouted and rolled onto her back while scurrying away from the lifeless corpse. "What's wrong?!" Cherry heard Daryl shout as she was catching her breathe while lying on the ground. Her muscles completely tense as Daryl came up from behind Cherry and hoisted her up with one arm while aiming at the corpse with his crossbow in his spare hand. "N-Nothing… It was just… I scared myself is all…" Cherry sighed while looking at the ground as Daryl rested her back onto her feet. "Don't screaming unless there's a real emergency!" Daryl shouted at Cherry as she nodded her head, "Sorry…" She replied as Daryl groaned and walked back to the isle he was in. Letting out a heavy sigh; Cherry wrapping her arms around herself in a comforting way as she proceeded to make her way over to the pharmacy section. As Cherry walked down the aisle, she passed by all sorts of things; Stapler's, Paper, Pens, Pencils, Crayon's, Staples, Sticky-notes; everything you could need in an office. Stopping dead in the middle of the isle, Cherry snatched a piece of paper that was scattered all on the floor, then ripping a pen out of a cardboard packet; she laid the paper down onto one of the shelves that was completely empty. She then began to write;
My name is Cherry Ami, I'm fourteen years old and I'm a survivor. You're probably reading this because I've done one of three things.
1) I've been eaten and you have either found my eaten corpse and/or you have killed me after I turned.
2) I lost this note and you are now in possession of my note.
3) I've been kidnapped and someone who had searched my pockets has found this note.
So dealing with the three situations, I will write a message for each of the situations.
1) Thank you for putting me out of my misery, but if I'm dead; you better get out of area because either if I'm with a group (They'll find you) or there are Walkers nearby. (They'll eat you) Run and never look back my friend.
2) You're in possession of my belonging. Cool, but please take care of it. I take pride in my own things and of course I take pride in other people's things; just be kind and keep this with you. Maybe write down your own note to keep with you? Here's a little thought, write down your feelings under this line. Okay?
3) Scumbag, why would you take hostage a little innocent girl?! You should be ashamed. (And should probably let me go… Please and thank you)
Sorry for this note being such a crazy mess. I really haven't written anything in a while. Please, keep your loved ones close and your enemies closer so you can push them into a herd of walkers when need be. Seriously though, in a note I had taken from a man… He talked about keeping one bullet in the chamber at all costs. I've been sticking by his words and I think everyone should. It's insane to think that one second you could be living on-top of the world and in the next, you get your throat chewed out by a walker; it'll just be easier to put yourself out of misery. Good luck my friend.
-Cherry Ami. Survivor.
Sorry this is such a short chapter... I just wanted to make it into a two part since currently... I am so tired beyond belief. Omg. I'm still trying my best to get writing though so don't worry!

I shall be getting back to writing then probably take a nice long nap, in which I will sleep and probably fall off my bed... Haha...
