After the group had spent some time at the church, we split up to cover more ground. Rick, Shane and Carl went the opposite direction to the highway, whilst Lori, Andrea, Daryl, Glenn, Carol, and I went back towards the highway. "I will see you later okay?" Carl said quietly and softly into my ear. I smiled at him and we set off with our groups.
We had been walking s while, so we decided to take a break and have a seat on some logs we found. Lori seemed annoyed, maybe it's because she let carl go with Shane. They have something going on, some friction, something they both need to get off of their chest but it's not my business anyways...
"So we get sent out here with just knifes and pointy sticks hoping we will survive with that?! I see that you have a gun" Andrea exclaimed looking towards Lori. Rick gave her a gun before we all split up, just in case of anything really bad...
That was the moment that Lori flipped out on Andrea.
"Here, take it! Lori said holding the gun out in her hand. "I'm sick of the looks your giving me. " Andrea sighed, rolled her eyes and snatched the gun out of Lori's hand.
She ruffled through her bag, and threw me some water. She turned to Carol. "Honey, I can't imagine what your going through, If i could, I would do anything to stop it... But you have got to stop blaming Rick" she continued " it is in your face every time you look at him. When Sophia ran he didn't hesitate to run after her, not even for a second! I don't now if any of us would have gone after her the way that he did. Or make the hard decisions that he had to make, or if anyone could have done it any differently!" Carol stared at the floor as if she was ashamed of feeling the hate she had felt towards Rick.
"Anyone?" Lori continued to say. Everyone just looked away or at the floor trying to avoid eye contact. "Y'all look at him and blame him, but he isn't perfect, you think you can do this without him go right a head nobody is stopping you." She finally finished her speech and had a big gulp of her water. After a moment Andrea handed the gun back to her, "we should keep moving" Andrea killed the awkward silence, we all grabbed our bags and carried on heading back towards the highway.
After walking in yet another silence, Lori suddenly turned around "Did I just hear a gunshot?!" She said worryingly , we all turned to where she was facing.
"Maybe they shot down a walker?" I asked.
"No, if Rick or Shane saw a walker they would have taken it down quietly. Not with a gunshot, why a gunshot?" Lori carried on looking into the distance trying to listen for anything else. Daryl put his hand on my shoulder, "c'mon kid, let's get back to the highway" we started to walk, and the others followed shortly after.
Me and Andrea were talking, just having a normal conversation. I told her about my dad, about my life before all of... This.
Andrea thought she heard something not long after we stopped chatting, she walked to the side around a bush and some trees to check out what the noise was, next thing we heard was a huge.. SCREAM!
"Andrea!!!! Where are you?! " Daryl looked for her, we all did. She screamed again. "ANDREA!!!!" I shouted. I heard a thud, she had tripped and fallen to the floor, a walker was after her! I saw her in front of us, a few meters away. We all started running toward her, Daryl was ready to fire his cross bow, until some mysterious girl rode in on a horse holding a base ball bat. With the bat, she smashed the head of the walker and stopped on the horse in front of us.
"Which one of you is Lori?!" She said in her sweet farm girl accent. I could tell she was in a rush. Oh no, what had happened?...
Lori slightly nodded and pointed to herself. "You need to come with me right now! Carl has been shot, come on Rick is with him! He needs you there, you need to come now!" With out a hesitation she gave her bag to Carol and got on the back of the horse.
"Wait, you don't even know this person Lori?! How could you trust her?" Glenn said in utter confusion.
"She knows my sons, and my husbands name, and that's all I need to know." Lori explained.
The farm girl continued to talk. " Come and find our farm, it's a few miles east, name Greene." She grabbed the reins on the horse and then sprinted away.
This want going through me properly, she just said .... Carl had been shot... We were happy just a few moments ago... Why did it have to go bad, again!!
