Hi! Sorry for long update those exams where about the death of me. I passed French and English thought yay! But not so much for math (haha) Anyway I am really unsure about this short chapter. In fact I am really unsure about this fanfiction but I am going to carry it on.
Chapter 21:Stopwatch
"Slow down before you get us all killed!" Maggie shouted at Rick from the back. After weeks of being away from the rest of the group it has mentally killed Rick for not knowing where his son is. A couple of weeks ago they found Carl's sheriff hat in the woods which we guessed was not a good sign – that was when Carol started to lose hope. Maybe they would never find each other; maybe Carol would cry and worry about not knowing what happened to the others. All she wanted to do was feel Daryl arms around her.
"I don't want to be killed by a car crash at the end of the world" Glenn mumbled. Rick looked away from the road for a second to Glenn; he then looked back to the road and gasped. Rick slams on the breaks but it is to no avail. A tree has fell into the road from the storm they had a couple of weeks ago. Rick steers into the gap but the back of the car gets hit and turns. Carol feels the impact and darkness as the car flips, the air is surrounded by metal crushing. Once the movement has stopped Carol opens her eyes feeling disoriented and the smell of blood. Carol turns her head to see Rick and Glenn unconscious and feels the over whelm of panic take over.
"Oh my god" Maggie cries taking off her seat belt and looking out the smashed window, that's when Carol looks out her side realising their car is stuck upside-down.
"There some walkers coming" Michonne shouts from somewhere. Carol touches her head and feels blood, her eyes started to close and that's when she hears a very faint human whistle before she surrounds darkness.
Tiffany walks fast through the woods over thinking about what she said to Daryl before she left to get some of her anger taken out on a walker.
Why'd ya go and say that for!
She walked until she hit the middle of the road and sat down the looking down the road's big slope. She pulled out her knife and inspected her reflection on the steel until she remembered her stopwatch. She pulled the round stopwatch out her pocket and smiled while getting up. She got into a running position and started the stopwatch and ran down the road. She ran and for the first time her legs left stiff and numb. Once she hit her spot at the bottom of the hill seconds later she stopped the stopwatch and read her time.
"Fuck" She said in-between breaths and started to jog back to the starting point. Her runs where getting slower by the week and this worried her. She got back into her position after resetting the stopwatch. She looked over her shoulder before running and seen four walkers trying to get into something or get something she couldn't see. She smiled and whistled with her fingers and got there attention right away. She waited until they where inches away from her and started the stop watch. She ran feeling faster this time – feeling like her life depended on it. Her legs seemed to work this time and she felt like she was slipping back into her comfort zone. She looked behind to find the walkers yards away and knew straight away she would have beaten her time. That's when she remembered her stopwatch. She stopped it but carried on running otherwise she would be dinner for the walkers. She looked at her good time and smirked so much that it hurt. That's when she knitted her eyebrows and her brain suddenly clicked. What where those walkers trying to get? Normally Tiffany would have checked it out but she was so focused on her time that she didn't think. She took off her jacket and wrapped it around her sniper gun that only had two rounds left – to keep the noise down. She sidestepped while jogging and shot down the first walkers – she reloaded and shot the other two in one bullet. She threw the jacket to the ground and ran back up to where she started. She kept coming until she came to line of sight of a car upside down. She knitted her eyebrows realising that this was recent by the way the smoke was escaping into the air. She walked around the car inspecting the fresh blood trail. She followed the blood down the road until it suddenly stopped. She looked behind her again trying to picture this scene in her head but she couldn't work it out. She checked the car once more to find a few supplies to scavenge. She started to run with the heavy bags on her shoulders into the woods back to go and find the others. She needed to tell Daryl, he is a good tracker he would have known what had happened. She ran threw the woods that would have normally of take ten minutes but she counted to two minutes. She got into sight of the house and ran in. She stopped after closing the door at the air in the house feeling eerie.
"Daryl?" She shouted popping her head into the living room to find it empty. "Alright, don't give me this shit" She continued searching the house but they weren't there. She walked outside and she only knew one thing.
They where gone.
