Dead girl walking

Chapter 3

T, Rick(who was mr.sheriff) ,Daryl and Glenn all got in the pick up truck. They were off to rescue Merle who was still in the city and to pick a bag of guns Rick had dropped when he had arrived in the city.

I decided to stay behind to get to know some if the women. They were down in the creek washing clothes. When I got to were they were Lori tossed me a bundle of clothes and told me to start scrubbing.

"So Angel, tell us a bit about yourself" Lori said.

"There's not much to tell" I told her my southern accent thick.

"Everyone has a story you don't have to go into detail just the main parts" Amy stated.

"I'm from the south. My mom died of cancer when I was young and I lived with my dad" I murmured quietly almost in audible but they heard me anyway.

"Not much of a talker are ya?" Lori asked. I just shrugged and got back to washing the clothes.

"Hun how about you go up and take that jumper off you must be roasting. I can finish up here." Carol said behind me. I got such a fright I jumped right off the ground.

"Sorry to startle you Hun

"It's grand" I muttered.

I went up to go and get some water when Carol's husband Ed grabbed my arm making me flinch when I remembered how my dad used to grab me like that.

"scared?" he taunted.

I stood there terrified until I heard Andrea screaming at Ed to let me go when I felt a searing pain on my cheekbone when I felt my face my hand came back covered in blood . I sat there shaking while the rest of the group were all screaming at each other and Ed.

~Flashback~

"ANGEL GET YOUR ASS IN HERE RIGHT NOW" my dad screamed from the kitchen.

I quietly walked in knowing he was probably drunk. I was also probably going to get beaten for not doing something I should have.

"Come here sweetheart " my dad cooed. I was really confused at first until in saw the two police officers standing in the middle of the room.

"Young lady it's a pleasure to meet you." the first officer who was Shane said to me sticking out his hand for me to shake which I declined I didn't like touching other people.

"Your coming with us for questioning about your fathers care on you but chances are you will still be taken from your father" he continued.

~End Flashback~

"You ok Angel" I saw Carols face close to mine and scooted back she was too close for comfort.

"Sorry" she said

"It's ok" I mumbled

I looked over my shoulder to see Ed lying unconscious on the ground his face severely disfigured and bloody.

"Shane" was all carol said.

Later that evening Carol cooked some of the squirrel daryl had caught in the forest. We sat talking and the only disturbance was of Amy getting up to go to the bathroom. A few moments later she called out the door.

"We're out of toilet paper"

"Use some leaves" Andrea jokingly called back.

Suddenly an ear splitting scream made us jump up and see Amy getting eaten by a zombie.

"It's a herd but its small enough" Shane yelled.

I used my bow to take out a few of the walkers before using my hunting knife to stab a few more. I was suddenly overpowered by a walker and I was struggling on the ground with it when an arrow shot straight through the walkers head. Looking up I saw Daryl and I sent a nod his way which he returned.

When the last of the zombies had been killed off we looked around to survey the damage Andrea was sitting with a dead Amy and Carol was crying next to a lifeless Ed. There was a lot of walkers on the ground and we would have to get rid of the bodies. Me and Daryl started straight away in making sure they were dead while everyone stood around staring in shock.

"Get a move on we can't do all the work" Daryl growled getting impatient. This caused everyone to start the process of checking the walkers.
