I Am Here (TWD)

Part 21 (s3)

1, 2, 3, Rick counted on his fingers as he pushed the doors open. I take the walker on the side, swinging the machete into its cranium, it crunches as I pulled it back out. I fling the blood off, I moved into the hallway, keeping my back against the wall and my blade down. I kicked open the closet, but it was empty, just some towels and rags. I grabbed one and patted my dirty face with it. I turned back around only to bump into something, I kicked and someone groans. I looked up to see Adym, he gives me an evil look, I shrugged and moved past him. Up the stairs, I peeked over the railing to see Daryl and T dog coming. I'll let them take this floor, I'm too tired, T pats my shoulder as I walked past them.

I sit on my knees, going through a bag I found with some weird stuff in it. But at least I found some floss, it's been so long since I brushed my teeth. Carl comes in beside me with two cans of dog food and I feel like I almost drooled. I looked at Beth questioning Carl, she gives the same look. My stomach growls loudly and eveyone looks at me, I lifted up my shirt and I can actually see my ribs. I've been giving all my rations to Lori or Carl, they are more important. They have the most tragic looks on there faces, I put my shirt down, sighing. I can't believe we came this low to salivate over wet dog food, Rick comes over picking up the can he just opened, he reads it and tosses it against the wall making me jump.

"Psst." T motioned that Walkers were close, I swing my bag over my shoulders, all of us pile out the back door. Driving away, once again, we cam never rest anywhere for too long these days. We stop again in the middle of the road, pulling out the map, we discuss our options.

"We have no where left to go." T says.

"When this herd meets up with this one, we'll be cut off." Maggie says running her finger down the map.

I climbed onto the hood of the car to see if I could see any buildings or landmarks around us, as they continued to talk about where to go next, I felt a slight breeze, it felt nice but I stank.

"You see anything yet?" Asked Daryl.

"No, not really. We have been going in circles this whole time." I squatted down.

"Yeah, I know. I know." Rick says. "At Newnan we'll push west. Haven't been through there yet. We can't keep going house to house. We need to find a place to hole up a few weeks."

I looked back at Lori in the car, yeah, she's about to pop and we need someplace comfortable, cool and pleasant before the baby arrives.

"All right. Is it cool if we get to the creek before we head out? Won't take long." T asked. "We got to fill up on water. We can boil it later."

"Knock yourself out." He says. I motion for Daryl to catch me as I jumped off the car and he almost drops me.

"Why you so heavy and light at the same time?" He asked sarcastically going over to his motorcycle, I followed.

"You going hunting?" I asked as he picked up is crossbow.

"Yeah." He says. "You can search for some berries or something too."

I nodded as I went back to the car and grabbed a plastic bag, I hung it out of ny pocket.

"Hey, while the others wash their panties, lets go hunt." Daryl tells Rick. "That owl didn't exactly hit the spot."

"You didn't share neither." I say walking past him. He muttered as he followed me, following Rick.

A few minutes into the woods, I didn't see any berries and it made me mad. I'm so hungry, I'll eat Daryl if I have to. I hopped onto the railroad tracks covered in pine needles, it made me a but nauseous.

"You Alright?" Daryl says.

I shook my head. "I'm good."

We walked down the tracks, there was an opening to a prison yard, the walkers roamed about in the fences....fences.
