"I'll go help look for her." I voulenteered with the guys. "how do we know you're not going to kill us?" Glenn,the asain man asked,nervously glacing at my glock 18. I scoffed. "If I wanted to don't you think I would have tried when Officer Friendly fucking tied me up?" I retored angrily. Glenn rolled his eyes. "Let her go." Shane offered. "She knows how 12 year olds think." I nodded.
"I told her to come back to the group." Rick said,looking under a cluster of roots by a stream. I bit my lip. "Is it possible she got freaked out and didn't follow your directions?" I asked,shifting my weight onto my left side. Rick shrugged. "I dunno. There's tracks leading off in the direction." "Hey shortstack." Daryl said. "Move off to the side you're muckin' up the trail."
Glenn rolled his eyes and stepped off to the side. "Well lets keep looking." Rick said,getting out of the water.
we continued looking until the sun began to descend over the trees. "Did you find her did you!?" Carol wept as we came back. Rick shook his head,causing Carol's tears to become heavier. "You'll find her tomorrow." I offered,giving Carol a smile. Carol cried into Lori's shoulder. I took this discraction as a time to leave. I crept twoards my backpack and walked off away from the disdraught group. "Where you think you're going?" Someone asked angrily. I turned to see Daryl,his hand hooked on the collar of my shirt. "I'm leavin' " I replied flatly. Daryl shook his head and drug me back. "You're gonna help us find her. You're part of this shit too." I scoffed. "How the hell am I part of this? She's Carol's kid." Daryl gave me an angry look. "It's settled. Go to sleep." with that he shoved me in the RV with Carol.
I pulled out a bed in the RV. I laid my bow and backpack down,listening to Carol cry as the night wore on. I flopped on my right side. My internal clock told me it was somewhere around midnight. Yet no sleep had come. I finally got up and slowly walked over to where Carol was. "A-Are you okay?" I asked. Carol shook her head. "S-She's just a girl." I nodded. "She'll be okay. Shes got a lot of people looking for her." Carol just nodded again and continued to cry.
Carol finally stopped crying after a while. And when she did I finally fell asleep.
Sun shone through the windows of the RV early that morning. "Rise and shine." andrea said,throwing my pack at me. "We're going to look for Sophia and you're coming. "
We traveled through the woods together. I had an arrow notched in my bow for protection. The leaves crunched under my boots loudly,birds chirping happily above me in the trees. Shane,Rick,and Carl had gone off on their own. Leaving the rest of us on our own. There was no way Sophia had gone this far on her own.
"The crow flies my ass." Andrea muttered,going off the trail. I chuckled when she suddenly began to scream. We whipped around as a walker followed a crawling Andrea. Then a flash of brown took out the walker. A girl sat atop a large chestnut brown horse,a now bloddy baseball bat clenched in her fist. "You Lori?" she asked in a thick southern accent. "Y-Yeah?" "Rick sent me. Carl's been shot he's at our farm." Lori gasped and grabbed the girl's hand,jumping onto the horse. "Woah woah woah!" Daryl protested. "You can't go with this girl,we don't know her!" "Keep going North then cross the river and you'll be at the farm we'll see you later." The girl said in a rush,galloping off on the horse with Lori.
"Did you find her?" Carol asked. "Wheres Lori?" "She got on this horse with some chick and went off like that!" Glenn said,snapping his fingers. "She told us to go to the farm. Carl's been shot." I piped up. "Alright then." Dale said. "We should go. T-Dog's not doing so hot and maybe they can help him" I shoved my gun in my pants and shouldered my backpack.
