"What tha fuck is goin' on?" Shane mumbled to himself more than me. I frowned and saw smoke coming from the RV. Shane, and I both got out. I walked over to the RV hearing Shane's shouts when I really wasn't listening to any of it.
"Hey.." a female voice said awkwardly. I looked around and saw Andrea. She gave me a ghost smile, and I nodded at her.
"Hey." I mumbled. I didn't know where she was going with this, We hadn't talked since Amy's death.
"Listen, I know you're aggravated at me.. I've been really out of it since losing my baby sister.." she ran a hand thru her blonde hair then used her black hair tie to pull it back up.. I raised my eyebrow.. "It's just that I said I'd protect her, and I failed her..." She swatted her hands away with tears in her eyes. "I know you know I've been suicidal lately.." she said guilty and looked away. "But.. I thought about what you said that awful day..." she paused staring out into space. I closed my eyes, and remembered that day.. This felt like a movie, I wished it was though instead of dead people walking around. I nodded. "I gave it long thought, and realized you were right... and, Amy would be upset if I gave up.. So, I'm gonna keep fighting for her..., and this group..." she gave a small sad smile and wiped her eyes.
"I'm glad. I've missed you, Andrea." I pulled her in a hug.
"This ain't no tea-party.." Shane scoffed. He certainly didn't like Andrea or her attitude back at the CDC. "Everyone try and rummage through the cars. Find gas, find supplies, anything we need.." He put emphasis on "need" with a scowl. I swear, this man was bipolar. One minute he was nice, than he was mad, than he was "lonely". God, I didn't see why him and Rick were good friends. They were opposite. Opposites attract? He needs to be friends with Daryl. They were so much alike. They hated each other though. I walked thru the aisle of cars, dead bodies and blood in a few made me scrunch my nose up. I was way ahead of everyone else. It was me, T-Dog back here. I saw Daryl running up, and a few back behind him I saw what looked like hundreds of walkers. A herd? I tried to find somewhere to hide. I opened the door and mentally praised the people who owned this car. I grabbed my knife off of my belt, incase this went wrong. I looked up to see an easy escape, just in case. A window wide open. I prayed they wouldn't notice me and, everyone would be alright. They just kept moving.. One stayed longer than the others, while the others scurried off.. It stayed there looking dumb and.. well, hungry. I quietly slid out of the car and jammed my knife in it's neck. I looked around to make sure there was no more and pulled my knife out, along with closing the car door. I started running back towards the RV. When I heard a little scream, I looked in the direction and saw a mother's worst fear. Little Sophia running into the woods with two walkers after her. I ran after her with no thought. Rick right behind me.
"SOPHIA!" I heard Rick's screams behind me. I saw her there pushing the walker away and screaming. I stabbed both walkers quickly.. and continued chasing the girl. I lost Rick, which was fine with because I was a master at tracking. I looked at the ground and saw there was tracks over here tracks... I cursed under my breathe. I regained my breathe, and thought "Well, maybe Rick found her.". I started sprinting back to the highway, I heard their voices along with Carol's cries.
"I didn't find her. Izzy's still out there.. I looked for both of em'. Not a sign of either.." Rick muttered. I froze. He didn't find her.
"Oh my god. Maybe, Izzy found her." Carol said sobs still obvious in her voice. I froze again. Crap.
"I trust Izzy out there, she's great at defending with that bow and knife o' hers." Shane retorted. I smirked. Of course, I was you fool.
"And she can track.. She'll bring her back Carol. It's gonna be fine." I heard Lori soothe Carol.Well, I beg your pardon. I stepped out of the forest, with all eyes on me.. I jumped over the ledge and everyone crowded me.
"Oh my god. Where's my baby?" Carol shakily said. I looked away. "I-Is she d-dead?" Carol sobbed even more, and walked away with Lori trying to calm her down. Rick and Shane looked to me for details on what happened.
"After I lost you.. What happened?" Rick asked looking me up and down. I sighed.
"I followed her tracks, I killed the two walkers chasing her.. I kept shouting for her to turn around, that it was me.. But, she kept running. Her tracks were overrun with another pair.." I said cupping the back of my neck. Rick grabbed the bridge of his nose and sighed.
"Wait, wait, wait. I thought ya said you killed the biters chasin' er?" Shane asked me, obviously not believing my story.
"That was the confusing part.. Another walker must've saw her, and chased her too. It was right on her tracks." I explained. "Right on her money.." I mumbled to myself.
"My baby's g-gone.." Carol sobbed.. I looked away, and sighed defeatedly. All that could be heard in my mind as I stood there was Sophia's screams and mother's cries.
AN: Oh No Sophia! D; I'm so busy with school but, I continue to update because I love ya'll.
