Sorry for the wait. And i should tell y'all that this is all set in season two. The group had already been looking for Sophia for a few days and so yea. Enjoy!
:)
" Carol and I will go back to the highway. Shane come with. Maybe Sophia wandered back to the highway." Andrea said to Rick who was staring at the map.
" I want to go." Carl's voice said over the group.
" No." Lori stood up.
" Mom look I'm fine. I'm walking around. I want to help Sophia. She is my friend." Carl made his case. Carl had recently been shot by a farmer and when he needed help another farmer agreed to let the group stay until they found Carol's little girl who had been chased by walkers into the bush. Shane let out a huff of breath.
" I'll keep him close this time." Shane said. Rick looked up at him.
" Alright you go out in the morning. Daryl should be back by then to give us some sort of lead." Rick spoke remembering Daryl was also out there looking for Sophia. Rick and Shane were very aware of Daryl and what he had done to their friend but they figured Jenna was long gone by now and their old lives didn't matter as much anymore. The only thing that made Rick think of Daryl in a good way was the fact he was looking so hard for that little girl. She was only 12 and innocent and when Rick first met her he swore she looked just like Beth did the last time he saw her. He always wondered about Jenna and Beth. Shane and had told him he found the house ripped apart and blood everywhere. And Lori swears she saw Jenna ripped apart in the hospital. She assumed they were dead. Shane and Lori lied.
Shane never looked for Jenna. He wanted to but he had to get Lori and Carl out of the city's area first. He had always meant to go back but he never had the chance. He did feel bad about lying to Rick about them but it was safe to assume they were dead.
" Maybe Andrea you should stay here. You want to protect the group right? Take watch. I can deal with Carol and Carl on the highway." Shane said to Andrea.
" Yeah sure. Just don't be a dick." She said before walking away. People had a good reason to think this. Shane usually only cared about the safety and survival of Carl and Lori. But he didn't want others to think he was heartless.
" Daryl had been gone for most of the day. Should we be worried?" Carol asked Rick.
" I doubt he needs us to be worried about him. He seems to be just fine going out alone." Rick said and Carol smiled. Her and Daryl had created a small and odd friendship. He was the only one other than Rick who hadn't given up on her little girl. The odd were very much against her but there was a chance. Daryl had gone out for the three days and looked all day and night. He had even taken an arrow to the side in the process. She was grateful but didn't want to lose the only friend she may have left. She had noticed how distant he was, and how he never shared anything about himself. She thought maybe something happened to him and it made him hate everything.
The sun was in the middle of the of the sky when they had reached the highway. It was deserted. The cars were all old and rusted by now. All basically empty. A few bodies still littered the road but it was quiet.
" Well what now?" Macy asked.
" We look around for supplies and then move on." Jenna said.
" Jenna look." Beth walked away toward a car.
" Sophia stay here. We will come everyday." The white message was written with a few supplies on the hood of a car.
" I guess someone lost someone." Macy said.
" welcome to the club." Jenna rolled her eyes.
" That means there are others!" Beth said. Jenna looked down at her 11-year-old sister. She had seen so much horror in her life. She was beginning to think that Beth was forgetting what happiness or joy was.
" maybe." Jenna agreed. " Come on we should move on." Jenna said walking away from the car and the four of them walked into the woods. Jenna swore she could hear horses whine in the distance. The small group came to a clearing. She saw a well where two men where pumping water. They were talking and the bigger African one was laughing until he saw her.
She instantly drew her weapon. She held in close and kept the rest of the group back. Tony had her back. They walked closer as the two men walked closer with gun at the ready as well. That's when she forced Beth behind her. Never know who you can trust now a days.
" You bit?" The African one asked.
" No." Jenna spoke up as they got closer. " What are you two doing out in the open?" She asked.
" Well we needed water." the older one smiled. " I'm Dale. And you are?" He asked.
Jenna looked the man up and down as he lowered his rifle. The African didn't move. She wondered is she should trust them. The older man, Dale seemed nice but she knew how people could lie.
" I'm Tony." Tony said. " That's my girl Macy and this is Jenna and Beth." Tony said and Jenna gave him an angry look. Why would he tell this stranger their names?
" Beth? We have a young girl named Beth as well." Dale smiled at the small little girl. " You folks must be starving or tired?" He asked.
" yes sir." Beth took a step forward.
" Well come with us. We have plenty of food and water." He said. Beth looked back at her and she nodded. Jenna didn't want to go with these men but the other had already decided what they were doing.
The African one walked close to Jenna. They didn't trust each other. Dale took Tony , Macy and Beth leading the small group. When they neared the camp site Jenna was surprised this place hadn't been over run yet. There were tents out in the open and a farm-house. A small group of country folk stood at the door of the house as the group watched as Dale got closer.
" Dale what is this?" A blonde got closer.
" People." He called back to her.
" Carl!" Jenna flinched at the name and the scream that came from Beth's mouth as she ran from the older man.
"BETH!" She heard a child's voice call back. She was confused.
As she got closer she saw him. Little Carl gripping her sister. She stopped as the group watched her face go white. " Carl?" She said.
He looked up at he with big tears in his eyes. " JENNA!" He yelled running to her. She knelt down and when he hit her she squeezed him so close. " Oh my boy. You okay." She said and she could feel the tears in her eyes.
Carl pulled away with a big smile. He grabbed her hand and took off running. She was tired and could barely keep up with the excited kid. " Carl slow down." She tried to say.
" MOM! DAD!" the boy screamed and instantly three people walked out of the door.
" Carl what is it…" Lori's voice made Jenna cringe. She had a secret hatred for that women now. She was sure Lori would have died. " Oh my god." Lori said and before she knew it Jenna was being hugged tightly by Lori.
" We thought you were dead." She let go then hugging Beth. Jenna rolled her eyes. Then she felt her heart sink a bit when she saw the two men walking down the stairs toward her with the most scared, happy, and shocked faces ever. She just stared at the men.
" Rick?" She whispered quietly. " Shane?" She whispered too.
