My Rule

Chapter 10

I woke up and looked to see it was almost time to go. I shook Carl awake. "Carl, hey, wake up, we have to get ready." He opened his heavenly eyes and nodded turning over sitting up.

I walked into the bathroom and put on a black t shirt with my puffy vest, and a pair of blue jeans. I put my hair in a ponytail and slipped on my combat boots.

We ate breakfast and walked outside packing up. We were going to hit one more store and then go home. I walked outside and felt the bitter air touch my skin. It was freezing out. I grabbed my headband and put it over my ears and loaded up the rest of the cars. Me, Abraham, Michonne, and Carl were all going in the truck, and Daryl, Tia, and Glenn were going in the car.

We drove to a Wal-Mart and saw other people there. They had guns and everything. We parked our cars and walked out. I loaded my gun and Daryl and Abraham went to go negotiate say we were just passing through.

"How long will it be until they kill us?" I asked clicking my gun. Carl smiled then made a thinking look and said, "Not long. We'll be on our toes for it though." We walked over and heard some arguing going on. "Stay close to me." Carl said. I nodded and we stood behind Daryl and Abraham.

"Look man, all we want is to get in here, take some food, and get out. You'll never hear from us again." Daryl stated. The Man thought for a bit, and then smartly said, "Why should I let you and your group come and take our only chances of surviving?"

Michonne stepped forward saying, "We have a group we need to keep alive. We just need a few tools. Please." The Man kept thinking and started laughing, "That's not good enough for me."

I felt my girl hormones kick in. I stepped forward and said, "Forgive me for being rude, but we have 11 adults, 2 teenagers including me, and a 8 month old baby that we need to take care of. And you are here taking over a store that has tons of food and supplies that you could never possibly run out of for the next 5 months, that other people may need, and yet you are greedy enough to keep it all to yourself saying, 'fuck other people, let me survive', while they have to bust their asses getting out here, risking their fucking lives to survive for another season I this God damn shitty ass world. Not to mention that there are fucking zombies everywhere out here that increase our chances of imminent death! And then what do you think? Is that good enough for you?"

The Man looked like he was about to cry. I was inches away from his face and his face was red as a beet and tears brimmed his eyes. "Go in," he choked, "Go in and take what you need."

I kicked open the door and walked in turning around and saying to everyone who had their mouths wide open, "Well come on! I want to go home today!" I walked in and faked pushed my head at the guard and walked over to the clothing section.

I grabbed clothes and Tia came over to me and bumped me slightly. "That was awesome!" She squealed. I smiled and continued to grab everything. "I never rcould've done what you just did. You almost made that guy cry! You should become our new negotiator!" I smiled and continued shopping.

In about 20 mins, we all met back up and walked out. I walked out and fake pushed my head at the guy and he flinched. I shook my head and shook his hand. "Thanks for doing business with me." He nodded and I turned away and I jumped in the trunk and we drove off.

I laid my head back and felt the cool wind in my hair. Carl nudged my foot with his and I looked at him raising my eyebrows asking what.

"That was pretty cool you know," He said smiling, "I mean that guy was about to cry!" I started laughing and with him and Michonne and Abraham chuckled in the front. "I'm glad I entertain you guys." I said shaking my head chuckling.

"That's not all you make me do." Carl mumbled. I looked at him and he slowly looked up at me with his eyes that now looked green in the sunlight. They matched mine, that's all I knew. I smiled and looked down toying with my gun. I hated My Rule. I absolutely hated My Rule. But I promised myself and my mom that when she died.

When we got back I jumped out and then Carl and Tia told everyone what I said and did. Rick looked at me and raised his eyebrows impressed. "I have taught you well over the last few weeks haven't I?" I laughed and said yea.

I cleaned up and took a nice long hot shower. I put on warm and new pajamas and walked into my cell already seeing Carl in bed. I climbed up halfway and shook him saying goodnight. He mumbled, "Night." He seemed a little upset, but I didn't ask him. He would be better in the morning, wouldn't he?
