Beth POV

It's been four hours since we found out that the prisoner had escaped, and we had three search parties about to go out and look for him. There was Rick and Shane, Glenn and Daryl, and Maggie, Carl and Me. Rick and Shane were taking the east side of the farm, while Daryl and Glenn were taking the South and West side, so that left Me, Carl and Maggie with North.

Daddy pulled me aside as we were about to set off

"Be careful Bethy, I don't want you to get hurt again okay, stay with Maggie and Carl, they'll protect you."

"I know they will Daddy, I'll be safe, I promise you."

"Good, I love you Bethy, I'll see you when you get back."

"Okay Daddy, love you to." I said cheerfully smiling

We set off at about four in the afternoon, and by five we had gotten nothing.

"For God sake, we have been out here for at least an hour, and we haven't found anything, not even a footprint." I exclaimed angrily

"It's a shame that Daryl can't be in three places at once, he'd probably find something in a matter of seconds that would take us days." Carl said

"Beth, stop moaning, you volunteered to come out here, and anyways, it's good to go on long walks." Maggie told me

"Yeah, yeah. I know, it's just annoying that we can't find this guy." I explained

"I know, but it's going to take a lot of patience to find this prick. It won't just happen immediately."

"So, did you to play in these forests when you were young?" Carl asked

Maggie smiled saying,

"Yeah, all the time, it was Me, Beth and our late brother Shawn. We had some great times in these woods didn't we Bethy."

I smiled also thinking about the times we spent here, wether it was Shawn and Maggie tripping over the same log, or all of us swinging on a tyre Shawn made for us, or when all three of us went swimming in the lake nearby our house with Mum and Dad. These forests truly held some of our greatest memories as a family, and I knew, that no matter what hardships were laying ahead for me, that I would never forget them.

"Yeah, this forest truly is special to all of us. It holds all our childhood memories." I answered

Then I started to wonder,

"What did you do for fun as a child Carl?" I asked

Carl scratched his head,

"I grew up in a normal suburban neighbourhood, nothing exciting ever really happened to be honest. Well, apart from this one time me and my friend Jake went on our bikes and spent the whole day biking around the whole town, eight hours we spent on that journey. When we got back my mum was crying with my Dad there to comfort her, she thought that I had gone missing or something, she had Dad and Shane looking all over for me and Jake. Never found us though, we were riding through small alleyways and over massive farmers fields. I miss those days, and I miss Jake to, don't even though if he's alive or not." Carl finished

Wow I thought, I never though he'd spend a whole day biking around his whole town, it's sounds like an amazing day out, besides his mum thinking he was kidnapped or missing. It reminds me of how much I loved going on bike rides with Maggie, Dad, Mum and Shawn. We used to cycle to school and back everyday, then ride around the forest before it got dark.

"Honestly, it sounds like a pretty decent day-"

Before she could finish, we all heard crunching twigs and leaves coming from behind a few trees.

"You two stay here, I'll check it out." Maggie whispered.

Before I could argue back and tell her no, she stealthily ran off to find out what made the noises.

Suddenly, two walkers came at me and Carl, we had just enough time to draw our weapons when the Walkers were upon us, Carl disposed of his one quickly and efficiently, meanwhile I missed the head of my one and Carl had to pull it off me while stabbing it in the head. I had lost my balance and was mid-falling over when Carl caught me. He caught me at a funny angle so we fell over anyways, or more precisely, he fell on top of me.

We spent about ten seconds looking into each other's eyes, before-

We kissed!

We both moved our heads together and Kissed!

We made out for about twenty seconds before we heard footsteps.

We stopped kissing just as Maggie came from behind a big oak tree. She stopped and looked at us both, with Me on the group and Carl on top of me.

"Well, what have I missed." She said smirking.

"Nothing!" We both replied in unison.

Carl climbed off me and I can't lie, I was kind of disappointed. I wanted a bit more time for just me and him to continue, but at least he now knows what I thought of him, and I think I know what he thinks of me.

I notice Carl smiling at me, before turning his head towards Maggie and asking her what she saw.

"Just a few walkers, nothing more, nothing less. Anyways we should start heading back now, it's getting late." She stated

And she was right, it was now about half-five, and it's about an hour walk back to the farm.

"Okay then, let's head back." I said

It took about an hour and a half to get back to the farm, as we ran into a group of five Walkers, which we all disposed of relatively quickly.

We were walking along the farms fence when we saw Rick and Shane running, running from a group of vehicles!!!

The End Of Chapter 18

So, how's everyone doing, it's been a while hasn't it. Apologies for taking so long with this chapter, the next one won't take anywhere near as long to publish. Let me know what you thought of this chapter in the review section.

Also, what does everyone think of the new title name for the story, do you want me to keep it, or change it back to Carl and Beth: Love? I changed it because I think that this story title will make more sense on one of the sequels I will do to this story. Wait, what?!? Err nothing, see you guys for chapter 19

Until then, Goodbye people
