I'd like to say I made a mistake on the last chapter. Kris found a 1970 Dodge Challenger not a charger. I'm sorry for this mistake. I was so mad I did that. Anyways Thanks for all the reviews, favorites, and followers. It's pretty exciting how many are interested in Kris. The story not the character..
Her foot tapped against the hood of her car as she watched her sister tell Carl he wasn't going to look for the little girl. She tilted her head to side continuing to study everyone. From the look of everything everyone followed Rick. He was the leader of this small group. She didn't take that as a surprise he was good at these sorts of things.
She had only been there for an hour and knew something was different. Either everyone was sad or too busy to notice anything. She hadn't really gotten the chance to talk to her sister about anything that happened. She wanted to know how Rick had lived and why Shane kept throwing them glares. She shift on her elbows sitting up a little. She bent her knees and leaned against the windshield.
Lori had questioned her about her busted lip, but she had explained nothing happened and she could handle herself. Despite what Lori thinks. She even tried to baby her which caused Kris to stomp off. That was why she was sitting away from everyone at the moment.
"You coming?" She turned her head a little raising an eyebrow at Daryl. He was staring a head at the group as well. She crossed her arms behind her head laying back.
"Where am I suppose to be going?" She asked closing her eyes before letting out a sigh. She had nothing to worry about now. She had her family back and they were okay. They could stay strong and survive together. As long as she was with them she would fight.
"Help search, I thought your sister told you about Sophia." Daryl demanded still not moving from his spot by the challenger. She groaned opening one of her eyes to look at him. He was now looking at her through a glare. She sighed sitting up.
"It ain't my problem. I have to look out for my family. I don't have time to be going looking for some little girl you lost." She demanded sliding down the hood of the car. Once her feet hit the ground she stretched her arms over her head. She headed towards her sister who was still arguing with her nephew. She crossed her arms leaning against the RV. "Just let him go. He'll be with his dad."
"Kris-" Lori sighed but was cut off by Kris herself. She did not want to get another speech from her sister.
"You'll be there too. So what's the problem?" Kris asked raising her eyebrows in question.
"The problem is I don't want my son running around in the woods with those things out there!" Lori demanded standing to her feet. Kris should have known this would turn into an argument. She hated how every conversation they had ended up in an argument.
"I'm not trying to fight with you, Lori. All I'm saying is if he wants to help let him help." Kris sighed running her fingers through her hair. "You and Rick will be out there. If you want I can go to. That way I can keep an eye out for him too. I'm sure nothing will happen to him"
"I said no and it's final" Lori snapped before disappearing into the RV. She slammed the door in Kris's face causing her to narrow her eyes. She raised her hand to pound on the door but stopped when Rick grabbed her shoulder. She looked over her shoulder shrugging off his touch. He was always breaking up the sisters when they were in an argument. Though Kris mostly took Rick's side, she still didn't like he never took hers. She could see the hurt on his face from her shrugging off his touch. The hug earlier as an exception, from now on she was back to the old Kris. No touching Kris.
"She'll get over it. She's right Carl should stay here." Rick suggested causing Kris to groan. She leaned against the RV looking at him. She noticed his new facial hair. She had never seen him actually grow the hair out. Usual he shaved it and had a baby face.
"Then I guess I can go." She mumbled still looking over his face. A smirk pulled at the corner of her lips as she tilted her head. "You trying a new look?" Rick gave her a look before touching his face. He gave her an embarrassed smile rubbing his cheek.
"No I just haven't gotten the chance to shave lately." he told her still rubbing his cheek.
"I like it." She smiled before shaking it off and walking past him towards her car. She sighed running her fingers through her tangled hair. She missed her straightener and makeup. She had natural beauty but she looked to dol herself up. Most men loved her blue eyes that sparkled with a devious look. She could make any guy fall over their feet. Her looks and personality were a gift. Even in high school, she had all the male teachers blushing at her comments. Though it didn't get her better grades she still flirted with most of them.
Most people liked her though. She could easily get any one to like her. She honestly didn't care if somebody liked her or not. She wasn't Lori. She rolled her eyes at the thought of her sister. Slinging the car door opened she leaned in the car on her knees reaching for bag. She pulled it over to her digging through it for her ammo. She really needed reload her gun from earlier. She had used four bullets today.
"Only been here an hour and already causing problems." She looked over her shoulder to see Shane leaning against the side of the hood. She rolled her eyes sitting down in her seat. Having her ass in the air with Shane near grossed her out.
"I didn't do anything. She's the one who got the attitude." Kris snapped pulling her clip from her gun. She pulled some bullets from the small box and replaced the missing ones. "Like you're one to talk I seen the glares, Shane. You ain't fooling anyone." She hissed pushing her clip back into her gun. She looked up to see Shane was now beside her. He grabbed her arm making her look at him.
"You don't know what the hell you are talking about. It be in your best interest if you minded your own business, little girl." Shane snarled before pushing her across the seat. Kris reached for her gun but Shane's hand slammed her arm to the seat. "I won't do that." He yanked her closer to him. She hissed at his grip and glared at the man.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll let the hell go." She growled yanking at his grip. Her and Shane have had a lot fights. But they were screaming matches. He had never put his hands on her. She was a little afraid by this. He had changed. She flinched when he got closer to her but she kept her glare.
"Stay out of my way Kris" He hissed before slinging her back down. She quickly grabbed her gun but he was already gone. She let out a sigh of relief placing the back of her hand on her forehead. She laid on the seat. Okay something is definitely going on. She told herself before sitting up. After putting her pistol back into her shorts she stood out of the car. She slammed the door close making her way to the redneck. He was near the tree working on his arrows. She jogged down the hill grabbing his attention. He let out a quick groan turning back to his arrows.
"Ass" She mumbled crossing her arms over her chest. She looked over her shoulder to see her sister was now out of the RV. And once again Shane was glaring at her sister's husband. She leaned against the tree next to Daryl never talking her eyes from the trio.
"So how long you been with my dear sister?" Kris asked nodding her head towards the woman. She caught the look Lori gave Shane over her shoulder. If she didn't know any better she would say something was going on between the two. She bit her bottom lip looking at the redneck from the corner of her eye.
"A while" He answered without an attitude. She smiled at herself, that's something.
"And our dear friend Shane?" She asked venom dripping from her words on the man's name.
"Same amount. Why you asking?" Daryl asked placing the arrows in the bag. She shrugged pushing away from the tree. She started walking away up the hill towards everyone gathering in front of the RV.
An hour later she found herself following Lori through the trees. They were screaming a girl's name never getting a reply. After another argument with her sister, Kris had finally convinced Lori to allow Carl to go with his dad and Shane. And she kept her promise about going as well to find the little girl.
"You know Kris you could help!" Lori hissed looking at her sister. Kris rolled her eyes before glaring at the back of her sister's head.
"I don't even know the girl. I don't even know what she looks like." Kris demanded receiving a glare from the woman named Carol. Kris ignored it and continued following the band of misfits deeper into the forest. She wished she had went with the others. At least Carl was with them. Her sister still had an attitude towards her. She could tell. But the best part was Shane wasn't with her. She kicked a rock on the ground sending it flying into the bushes.
"Somebody should have stayed with T-Dawg, and Dale." Kris sighed rolling her sleeves up. Lori finally sighed running her fingers through her hair.
"Just go back Kris, we can handle this." Lori told her sister before continuing. Kris nodded her head before heading back towards the RV. It's not that she didn't want to help. She just knew she was useless at trying to find this girl. She didn't even know what the girl looked like. How the hell was she suppose to know? And even if she did somehow find the girl, Kris was a stranger to her. She probably wouldn't come with her. She climbed the hill towards the highway. Hopping over the guard rail she headed towards the RV. Dale looked down at her in question.
"Did y'all find her?" He asked her. She shook her head no before taking a seat beside T-Dawg.
"I wouldn't have been much help anyways. I don't know the little girl and she doesn't know me so I decided to head back." Kris explained staring in the direction everyone left. She sighed leaning her head back against the RV.
"So Lori's your older sister, right?" She didn't have to open her eyes to know it was T-Dawg talking to her. She nodded her head in agreement. "How old are you?"
"Twenty-Two" Kris answered hoping he would drop the subject so she could rest for a moment. But of course he didn't.
"Y'all don't get a long very well. I mean you two have been around each other for an hour and already y'all are fighting." T-Dawg pointed out causing Kris to lightly laugh. She opened her eyes with a grin on her lips.
"We don't always see eye to eye" she chuckled finding it hilarious. She couldn't count how many times people have said that about them. She and Lori hadn't gotten along in over five years. They were just too different. When Lori was at home playing house, Kris was out in bars drinking. When her sister was studying in library, Kris was, well doing other things in the library. They had once gotten along. That was until Kris hit seventeen and started becoming twice as wild. She could remember the exact moment she decided she no longer cared. It was a memory she cursed herself for every night but never regretted. She couldn't bring herself to regret it. It meant to much to her.
"We can see that" Dale lightly laughed climbing down the RV to sit down next to them. He sat down beside Kris looking over in the direction the group left before looking back at her. "So Kris are married as well?"
"Oh lord no." Kris laughed before softly smirking. "I just couldn't imagine being with one man my entire life."
"You don't believe in marriage?" T-Dawg asked her. She shook her head no before answering.
"I do. It's just that I am a free spirit, I don't want to be tied down to anyone. Plus I haven't always been the best at picking men." She shrugged running her fingers through her hair. It was hot sitting right in the sun in the middle of a highway. "I hate Georgia weather" She mumbled fanning herself. At that moment the bushes started moving. She quickly stood to her feet to see the group rushing out with out her sister. She quickly walked over to Daryl. "Where's my sister?" He started explaining everything that happened but before he could finished she took off towards the challenger. She jumped in and started the car before throwing it into reverse and making her way through the traffic.
She couldn't believe this shit. It was all her fault for telling Lori to allow Carl to go. She found the drive way and didn't even use the brake when she turned into the drive. She punched the gas when she straightened back up. The farmhouse came into view. She seen Rick, Lori, and Shane standing on the porch as she closed in. She slammed on the brakes and slung the car into park before jumping out. She could see the tears on everyone's faces.
"Is he okay?" Kris asked running up to the porch. She didn't even reach the top step before Lori slapped her across the face. Kris's face slung to the side. She should have seen that coming. She stepped back down to the ground away from her furious sister.
"Lori!" Rick yelled reaching for Kris. Lori stepped in front of him cutting him off. Kris held her cheek looking at her sister. She deserved that.
"This is her fault! She said nothing would happen and now my baby is laying in a bed with a bullet in him because of you!" She yelled pointing her finger at her baby sister.
"I didn't think he would get shot!" Kris argued removing her hand from her cheek. It might had stung a little but she had been through much worse than a slap. And she could have laughed at the fact Lori slapped instead of using her fist.
"Well he did and it's all your fault!" Lori snapped before turning and walking back into the house. Rick lightly grabbed her chin trying to see her red cheek. She yanked her chin from his grip stepping back.
"It is my fault. I told her to let him go and now he is hurt because of me." Kris whispered wiping the tears from her eyes. The tears for her young nephew laying in the bed. She couldn't imagine what his parents were feeling. If she felt this bad, they must have felt much worse.
"I'm going to go inside and try to calm down Lori." Rick suggested before walking back into the house leaving Kris and Shane alone on the porch.
"She's right you know. It is your damn fault." Shane hissed stepping down the steps towards her. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Mind your own business Shane. This is a family issue and you aren't my family." She hissed standing toe to toe with him. She raised her chin glaring at him with all her fury. He narrowed his eyes before softly brushing the red cheek with his knuckles.
"You know it's pathetic how you are still scared to let him touch you. Is our little Krissy afraid?" Shane asked causing her slap his hand away. She shoved him away from her pointing her finger at him. She hated it when he used that one slip in front of her. He used it like a weapon against her and it sickened her. It happened one time and it was a complete accident, she wished he was deaf the moment it happened.
"That's none of your fucking business, Shane! Leave me the hell alone before I kick your ass!" She growled through clenched teeth. She didn't want that memory playing in her head at a time like this. She pushed away the guilt in her chest as she pushed past Shane. "I'm going to check on my nephew" She hissed jogging up the stairs. She opened the door to see Rick and Lori in the hallway with another man. Shane stepped in behind her his chest flush against her back. She stepped forward not wanting him touching her. Lori and Rick both looked at in them with fear in their eyes. She wasn't going to like this.
