Life or Love (Very Old)

Amanda and Aj

(Carls POV)
*the group keeps on running until the reach a tourist site*

I stop running and look at the tourist site.

It has a bottom part, which looks like it could be secure considering the only way through it looks like the big garage type door.

Then there were stairs winding up to a top part, it had a deck, and attached to it was another part of the building that was probably locked up.

"Let's head up there, to the deck" I suggested.

Nobody said a word, they all started running up the stairs to the deck.

I was the last one to reach the top.

Aj was awake now in my arms, staring at me.

"He's one weird baby" I thought in my head.

Lucinda set Clementine down on the deck very carefully, then started to search the place.

"Try to get that gate open" I suggested to her, I was going to do it myself but I had Aj and a bag of supplies in my arms.

She started to pull the gate open, and surprisingly it popped right open.

"Yas" Amanda said and ran inside.

I slowly walked in and looked around, nothing important in here but there was some blankets.

I kneeled down beside the blankets in the corner, I set Aj down beside me, then I started to make a bed with the blankets.

"There" I said and looked at my work.

I quickly set Aj inside the bed, and then Amanda came over and out Judith in there too.

Lucinda took one of the bags and opened it, there were blankets, first aid kits, water, and other medical stuff.

Lucinda took out some sheets and put them on the ground and laid clem on top of them, I ran over to help.

Amanda was watching us, but I seen a tear roll down her eye and she turned around to put all the other bags in another corner of the room.

I leaned over clem and looked at her face.

"Is she awake?" I asked.

"Or at least breathing?!" I said worriedly.

"Just relax, I used to be a doctor pre-apocalypse, I'll fix her up in no time" Lucinda said in a worried tone but with confidence at the same time.

"Go out and get some fresh air"

"Fine, ok" I said In a kind of whisper as I walked out onto the deck.

I crisscrossed my arms and set them on the railing.

Amanda came out with Aj in her arms.

"She'll be okay, my moms good at her job" she said.

"How old are you again?" I asked her.

"6 in a half" she answered proudly.

I looked at her and looked at Aj.

"Im surprised she can hold Aj, he's getting kinda heavy" I said in my head.

I heard moaning, so I quickly turned around to look at Clementine, and Lucinda was looking at me.

"That's not her" she said.

I turned to the stairs and there were some walkers coming up.

"shit!" I yelled and ran inside the room to grab an axe.

I ran back out and started to chop the stairs were the met the deck.

"It won't work!" Amanda yelled.

"It will, these stairs are old and ready to break, plus there wood" I yelled back.

One of the walkers were 3 feet away from me, so I started to chop for my life.

Amanda came over to my side, "hurry up!" She said.

"I'm working on it!" I said full of stress.

Just as a walker almost grabbed me, I ducked and the stairs broke and fell.

I stepped back, I looked around my and didn't see Amanda.

"Amanda?" I called out.

"Help, help me!!!" She yelled.

I bent over the deck and seen Amanda with Aj in her arms still, wood covering her so she couldn't get up. "Help!!" She started to yell again.

Walkers started coming around from everywhere, and they were all going for her.

"Try to get up!" I yelled as I pulled out my gun and started to shoot the nearby walkers.

"Help me!" She yelled again but then it fainted away with her screams.

The walkers got her and Aj.

I dropped my gun on the deck, and just sat there with my feet hanging over the edge.

I put my hands over my face.

"I could have helped them" I mumbled through my hands.

Lucinda came out with blood covering her hands.

"I fixed her up as best as I could" she said wiping her hands on her pants while looking at her feet.

Then she raised her head and looked around, "where's Amanda?" She asked with a worried tone.

"I couldn't help them, it would've been suicide for sure" I said.

Lucinda dropped to the floor, "my baby" she said as she started crying"

"Aj" I whispered.

"What's Clementine going to do when I tell her" I thought.

I was still looking down at my feet that were hanging over the edge.

I heard Lucinda get up.

"It's all your fault boy" she said and I heard the gunshot.

I quickly got up and turned around.

Lucinda's body laying lifelessly on the ground with the gun in her hands.
