⚠️ None- Unless you have a phobia of worms ⚠️

(Naomie's POV)

"Dale I'm heading out!" Mrs Lori called from the ground. I was sitting with Pop ontop the Rv, coloring in one of my coloring books. "Sweetheart, I want you to stay where Dale can see you, okay?" she asked Carl making me sit up quickly.

Whenever Mrs Lori leaves, Carl is aloud to play because he doesn't have chores. That's why I like these parts of the day, when both Officer Shane and Lori aren't around.

"Yes, mom." he responded. I smiled down at him quickly standing up.

"Don't wonder to far. Stay within shouting distance, and if you see anything, holler I'll come running." Pop yelled to her. I chuckled at him. Pop run? Since when. "What?"

"When do you run?" I asked him.

"I can always start." he teased patting my arm. Carl climbed the ladder looking at me for permission to go play.

"Pop?"

"Go, ahead sweetie... stay where I can keep an eye on ya." he reminded me. I nodded quickly running down to Carl.

"Love you."

Carl's 11, so he's one year old then me. Carol's daughter Sophie is 12, but I don't talk to her as much. Mostly cause her dad isn't very nice.

I don't know much about Carl, other then his dad died before the outbreak. Also Officer Shane is his dads partner, even if he acts more like Carl's father. I don't know... it's not my business.

"Wanna go look for worms, while my mom and Shane are gone?" He asked, walking to a patch of mud.

There isn't much to do in camp. Especially since we have to stay around everyone because of the geeks. Currently there a small group of our camp out in the city. There looking for supplies.

Glenn- Young Korean Boy. He's funny and calls me Homie instead of Omie. Said it rhymes.

Jacquie- Older darker skinned woman. If I'm not with Pop I'm normally next to her. She reminds me of my Mom- Mom. Kind and calm.

T-Dog- another younger man, in his 20 a little older the. Glenn I assume. Dark skinned no hair. He's funny though and tells the best jokes right next to Glenn's.

Merle- I don't think anyone at this camp really likes him. Other than his brother that I've talked to once. Merle's very rude. He doesn't care what he says and says what's on his mind. Sometimes it's needed but most of the time it isn't. He picks on T-Dog a lot which I hate. Kinda reminds me of my blood father, defiantly not a complement.

Daryl- he's not with the group, but he's Merles brother. Normally stays to himself and doesn't bother anyone. He seems nice from what I've seen but he defiantly says what is on his mind as well. Officer Shane said it was a Dixon thing. I'm not a Dixon and I'm taught to speak my mind.

Morales- he sticks to his family. His wife and two kids who are currently at the camp. They keep to themselves unless we need extra help, that when Morales will step in.

Andrea- Andrea, a middle aged woman... maybe 30. She blonde and has pretty blue eyes. That doesn't change the fact she's got the attitude of a lion. I mean there's nothing wrong with it, until you yell at me for being in my Rv. I don't need permission from her. Her younger sister Amy who is here, is nice though. She braids my hair for me. Currently there in two braids, from when she did them yesterday.

Pop and I picked up the two sisters up on the way to Atlanta. So far their the closet, Pop is to anyone else other than me. I can tell he already cares a lot for them. Pops always been that way with people... well, at least before Mom- Mom passed away. Then things changed.

Anyway, like I was saying. These not a lot for a 10 year old girl to do, around here. Besides pick worms and color. Especially since Officer Shane and Mrs Lori.. mostly Mrs Lori are very protective over Carl.

"Omie! Look how big this one is." Carl said a very big smile on his face. He pulled out a long worm from the ground, it wiggling around in his fingers.

"That's an earth worm. There bigger than normal ones." I explained holding out a plastic container for him to put the creature inside.

"My mom would puke if she saw it." he laughed dropping it inside. I quickly closed it continuing out search for more worms.
