Carl Grimes

Chapter 2 - Best Friends?

Cassidy's POV

"Who are you?!" a voice yelled. It was the sheriff. Soon the muscular guy had a gun pressed to the side of head.
"First of all, get the gun away from my head" he hesitantly put the gun down. "And I'm Cassidy. I see you have a situation here. Well before I came into these woods I passed a house that look completely untouched. There just still might be some medicine in the bathroom cabinets."

"You better not be joking with me. I'm not afraid to kill you!" the sheriff said aggressively through gritted teeth.

"I'm not a lying! I swear, you just get on the main road, cross a field, and BAM your their. It's a farm, I think."

Before he could say anything else the hunter thankfully spoke up. "Wait. That's my house! We have a fence so those things can't get through so easily, and we have lots of supplies! We have a doctor too! He'll help your son!"

"What are we doing just standing here, he's loosing blood! Let's go! NOW!" yelled the sheriff. He picked up his dying son, and they all started to run. As for me, I picked up my belongings and started walking back where I came from. That was until someone yelled my name. It was that darn sheriff.

"Cassidy! Where are you going?"
"Um. Back to my camp?"
"No come with us. You sort of helped us. But hurry! My sons kinda dying."

I let a small smile grow across my face. Then before I knew it, I was running into a new life. Hopefully this farm will help my depression, maybe I'll make new friends. I can't wait.

When we got at the farm it was complete chaos. But that hunter wasn't wrong. I guess there was a doctor there after all. He took the sheriffs son into a bedroom and is getting him fixed up. I guess there can be hope, even in this crappy world. Well even though the boy is doing good the doctor can't preform the major surgery until the hunter and the muscular guy ( man I really need to learn everyone's names ) get back from a run. I guess the doctor needed special equipment for the surgery.

The sheriff and I were in the living room. I was sitting on the couch, while he was across the room sitting in a chair. He just sat there, with his face buried in the palms of his hands. He has been in the same spot for the past 30 ,minutes just crying and crying. I was done with the sad vibes so I had to talk to him.

"Don't worry sir, he's gonna be okay."
"Thank you Cassidy. Oh and my name is Rick, Rick Grimes."
"Well hello Rick, Rick Grimes." We chuckled for a few moments but he spoke up.
"So Cassidy. I don't know much about you, all I know is your name."
"Well, I'm 10 years old. I lived in the country part of Atlanta before this mess. When it all started I instantly lost my mom, one of those walker things got her, but I have to keep strong so I'm over it. I did travel from house to house with my brothers, Jayden and Ryan, and my dad. But we got split up. A herd got too close and we went our separate ways. Since then I've been on my own, sleeping in the trees."

Rick just sat there in awe.
"You must be one strong girl Cassidy. I haven't even been through that much."
"Well you can't be a wimp in this world. You have to toughen up no matter how young you are."
"Well Cassidy, I'm very impressed..."
He just stared off into to space for a while, must be thinking pretty hard. Maybe he'll ask me to join him. Then I won't be a loner anymore! Rick opened his mouth to say something, but just then a truck pulled up. That muscular guy got out and limped to the front porch, but where's the hunter? Something wasn't right with this guy, he seems a little too suspicious.

"Shane! Where's Otis?" Said Rick in a stern voice. ( ah that's their names. )
"Walkers caught up on us, he sacrificed himself for me. But on the bright side I got the supplies."

Yeah this didn't seem right. I may be 10 but that's doesn't mean I'm stupid.

Later on Rick's son, Carl, turned out to be perfectly fine. Otis's wife, Patricia, on the other hand was not. She's spent the past day crying her eyes out. Don't even get me started on Shane. He shaved his head, and there a small bald spot to, I bet he thought nobody would see it. I guess his little plan is partially working because I think I'm the only one who has noticed. Maybe I'm just over thinking it. Maybe Shane was telling the truth about Otis and he's an innocent guy. I'm still going to keep my eye on him.

I thankfully learned the rest of everyone's names. There is Rick, Shane, Carl, Patricia, Maggie, Beth, Hershel, Jimmy, Lori, Carol, T-Dog, Glenn, Dale, Andrea, and this guy that's always standing off in the distance. I can never get a good look at him, but he seems pretty creepy. Anyways, there's also Sophia, but she's missing. She's Carol's daughter. Carol says she's my age, hopefully we can be friends!

1 week later...

Carl is up on his feet now. Gosh he's so cute... Snap out of it Cassidy. Your 10 years old, plus the apocalypse is no place for love. I guess we could be friends, maybe even best friends! Carl was walking across the front yard now. Okay here's my chance.

"Hi Carl! We haven't officially met yet! I'm Cassidy!"
"Oh, um, hi." then with that he walked away.

Ugh, why are boys so complicated? So much for having a best friend...
