I Am Here (TWD)

Part 13

I'm just learning everybody's secrets. Patricia had been feeding something in the barn with chickens and i don't think its a dinosaur, this is some shit that will not be had, I'm tired of all this secret shit. I continued to stab the tree with my knife, Glenn comes up to me with a basket but he seems off.

"Peach?" He asked.

I shrugged and grabbed one. "Something tells me you didn't get laid last night."

He stopped. "What?"

"That's right Glenn, I know everything. Everyone's secrets." I whispered.

"You know?" He whispered back.

I nodded, I don't actually know, but he's gullible enough to believe it.

"What should I do?" He asked pulling be behind the tree. "Maggie told me not to say anything."

"Hm, does it benefit her? Or is our safety on the line?" I asked.

"Safety is a concern." He says worriedly. "What should I do about the bar-"

I covered his mouth. "Shh."

Someone walks past us, but they don't notice us.

"If it's a safety issue, you need to tell everyone and I DO mean everyone." I tell him.

He nodded as I took my hands off his mouth. He might lose his booty call, but its us before them in any circumstance. Now that I know that there is something in the barn that's dangerous, I need to check it out. Glenn leaves me and I take a bite out of my peach, the juice drips down my chin, wow, this is the best thing I ever had. I placed my finger tips around the blade of my knife and throw it at the target I made in the tree. I really need some throwing knifes, I've always wanted to be in the circus and do knife throwing, I love knives.

Shane comes up to Lori and Rick to tell them about the gun Carl had tucked away in his waistband, that little thief. I  spin around and throw my knife at the target again.

"How the hell did this happen?" Lori asked clearly upset.

"Well, it's my fault. I let him into the rv. He said you wanted a walkie, you sent him for one." Dale says.

"So, on top of everything else he lied." Lori says.

"Ooh, Carl you bout to get a spanking." I taunt him as he narrowed his eyes.

"Reiya!" Lori raised her voice at me.

"Killjoy." I tossed the knife behind me and hit the tree.

"He wants to learn how to shoot. He asked me to teach him." Shane offers. "Now it's none of my business, but I'm happy to do it. It's your call."

"Well, I'm not comfortable with it." Lori says.

I was 12 when I learned to shoot, Carl's almost that age so, I don't see a problem with it. At one point or another he's gonna have to learn, this world is ever changing and more people are going to die, he needs to be able to defend himself.

"Oh, don't make me out to be the unreasonable one here, Rick?" Lori shoulder have to make these decisions by herself.

"I know. I have my concerns too, but-"

"There's no but, he was just shot!" She fired back, she's right. "He's just back in his feet and he wants a gun?"

"Better than him being afraid of em'." He's right too. "There are guns in the camp for a reason. He should learn to handle them safely."

I really shouldn't be listening to their conversations, I turned back around and continued my knife throwing.

"Rei, you coming?" Asked Shane.
