Chapter 23
Later on that day I walked over to Anthony and Brandon. They had refused to kill the walkers until I had started to shoot. They looked at me.
"Hey Prue." Anthony said.
"Hello….I was wondering if I might speak with Brandon and yourself." I said.
They nodded and I sat down across from them.
"Why is it that you did not shoot until I started?" I asked.
They looked at each other. Brandon looked back at me.
"You honestly do not remember us?" He asked.
I looked at them both long and hard. I knew they were familiar but I could not tell from where I had seen them. I shook my head and Anthony laughed.
"I told him you wouldn't. You were only in the orphanage for a month. Then you were adopted. We never saw you again." Anthony said.
My eyes widened as memories of the orphanage came flooding back. Anthony and Brandon were the first people I met and even talked to. I remember we would play together. I ran and hugged both of them.
"I thought I would never see you two again!" I said.
"You're telling me. I almost didn't recognize you when you first came swinging your sword like a badass!" Brandon said.
"The Prue I remember had short hair and she was very fragile. It took 4 days for you to talk to us." Anthony said.
I laughed as I pulled away. They smiled at me and Andrea came over.
"Andrea! I know these two! We met years ago! When I was in the orphanage, they were my first friends." I said.
She smiled and looked at them.
"Well it really is a small world. So you two were adopted?" She asked.
"No. There was a daycare attached to the orphanage and Anthony and I would sneak over to see Prue." Brandon explained.
She nodded and I saw a strange look in Brandon's eyes. I held back a smile and looked at Anthony.
"Wait! What about Chris? Didn't he make it? Nothing was ever able to separate you three." I said.
"He was with us. We were separated on the way here. We still haven't been able to find him. That's where we go everyday. We lost him about a day before you found us." Anthony said.
"Well then we have to keep looking!" I said.
Chris was another boy I had met. He was quiet around people he did not know. He was the first one of the three I spoke to. They nodded and I ran to find Daryl.
"Daryl!"
He turned and I flew into his arms.
"What's going on?" He asked.
I looked up and smiled at him.
"Anthony and Brandon…I know them. When I was in the orphanage they were my very first friends." I said.
He smirked and shook his head.
"Imagine that. Some wacked up shit there." He said.
I laughed and then fell silent. He was not going to like me going off to look for Chris.
"Daryl listen…there was a third. He was the first I ever spoke to. His name is Chris. He was separated from Brandon and Anthony on the way here. He has not been lost long."
"Whatddya asking?" He asked.
I took a deep breath.
"I want to go and look for him."
"Hell no! Not without me yer not! Ye think I want something happening to ya out there!?" He said.
I frowned.
"Daryl he is my friend. I cannot just sit idly by and do nothing." I said.
"Yes ya can! Let yer friends find him." He said.
I backed away from him. I looked away and then just turned and walked away.
"Prue wait!"
I ignored him and grabbed my weapons. I was going to find him! I would not stop until I had.
So I am going to be extending their stay at the farm. Enjoy =D
