(TWD) To Good For Me [On Hold]

Chapter 4. Close Call

We were walking for some time but no sign of Sophia. It was warm outside I pushed a strand of hair out of my face and behind my ear and wiped the sweat off my forehead.

"How much farther?" Andrea asked

" Not much. Maybe 100 yards as the crow flies." Daryl responds

"Too bad we're not crows." I rolled my eyes I didn't like her very much and I knew I wasn't the only one.

Not twenty seconds later there was growling and screaming on our left.

"Andrea?" My mom yelled

"No! No! No! No!" We hear her yell as we ran over.

Suddenly a girl with a horse comes out of nowhere and hits the walker in the head with a wooden baseball bat.

We look at her when she stops. She looks at the walker for a couple of seconds before looking around at us.

"Lori Grimes? Katherine Grimes?" She asks

"I'm Lori." My mom says.

" I am Katherine" I speak up confused.

"Rick sent me. You got to come now." She says quickly.

"What?" My mom asks.

"What's going on"

"There's been an accident. Carl's been shot." Wait, what? "He's still alive but you gotta come now."

"Rick needs you! Just come!" I look at my mom and she looks at me. Our faces are full of panic.

"Just go mom I'll come as soon as I can," I tell her.
She hugs me and kisses me on the forehead.

"We don't know this girl. You can't get on that horse." Daryl says but we ignore him right now.

"Rick said you had others on the highway, that big traffic snarl?" She asks me

I nod wiping some tears away.

"Backtrack to Fairburn road. Two miles down is our farm. You'll see the mailbox. Name's Greene."

She urges her horse and rides off.

The walker from before wasn't dead and got up.

"Shut up," Daryl says annoyed as he shoots a bolt in its head

"Carl got shot. Ooh no, my little brother got shot."

--------------------------------

"Shot? What do you mean shot?" Says Dale as we explain what happened.

"I don't know, Dale. I wasn't there. " I say as I start to tear up again."

"All I know is this chick rode out of nowhere," says Glenn. "like Zorro on a horse and took her mom"

"You let her?"Dale asks

"Climbed down out of my asshole, man." I throw a glare at him.

"Dad sent her. She knew mom's name and my brother's" I snap at him.
