The Apocalypse Love

What happened?

I woke up to an empty bed and the sound of ear shattering screams. What's going on? What's happening? I got out of my bed with a knife in one hand and, a gun in the other one. I opened the door and made my way towards the stairs. I saw a pool of blood. Where's Carl is he okay.

" Carl! Carl! WHERE ARE YOU?" I screamed running down the stairs almost tripping on the last step because I am that coordinated. I turn into the hall way and see a trail of blood. It leads into the kitchen I turn the corner and see Carl sitting in a chair with a cloth on his foot.

" Carl? What happened?" I said rushing to his side.

" Claire sorry did I wake you I'm fine I cut myself in the bathroom and came down here to clean up." He said cleaning his foot.

" Let me see." I said pulling his hand away to reveal a cut about 2 inches long on the bottom of his foot it looks deep.

" It's fine Babe really I-" He started but I interrupted.

" No Carl's it's not. Why didn't you wake me up? It's looks really deep. When I saw the blood I thought something bad happened I thought the worst, I thought you were dead." I said hugging him, I feel the tears starting to come on.

" Babe it's okay I'm fine, I'm sorry I didn't wake you. I thought you needed the rest." He said rubbing my back. I pulled away and grabbed the first aid kit from under the sink. I let a tear slip out.

" Claire don't cry." He said getting up and wobbling over to me. He pulled me into another hug. We stood there for a minute, but it felt so much longer. I didn't want to leave Carl's arms I always feel so safe in them. I pull away and he wipes my tears.

" Don't ever do that again you scared me to death." I said playfully hitting his chest.

" I promise I won't." He said moving some hair away from my face.

" Now sit on the counter so I can fix you up." I said and helped him onto the counter. He stuck his foot out and let me clean it. Wincing at the pain every once in a while.

" Sorry." I said putting the bandage on his foot.

" It's fine... Thank you." He said pecking my lips.

" No problem... I can't have you bleed to death on me now." I said laughing.

Our laughing was interrupted by screams. Carl and I quickly grab our weapons and head out the door, Carl running  a little slower than usual. We turned a corner and are greeted by 20 walkers. Carl grabs me and pulls me behind a fence.

" Stay beside me the whole time." He said and I nodded.

" Come on let's go." I said running back to the herd.

The walkers came towards us. Carl and I shooting them all in the head. We were now down to two walkers and out of ammo. I grabbed my knife and stabbed one in the head. Just as it fell to the ground the other one grabbed on to me. It scared me enough to cause me to trip over some of the other body's lying around. I screamed.

"  Carl hel-" before I could finish my sentence Carl came up grabbed the walker off of me and stopped on its face until you couldn't tell what it was. Carl quickly picked me up and hugged me as tight as he could. I started to cry and he did to.

" Thanks Carl." I said with my head resting on his shoulder.

" I love you, don't ever die on me." He said between sniffs.

" I love you to and I'm not ever planning on leaving you." I said and kissed him. I wonder how they got in?
