Walsh on a farm

11 I can't believe you done this

Approaching the camp I can see that dad is waiting for us he is not happy. "Son I told you to come right back! Where have you been." I run fingers though my hair "dad I had to see Carl I'm worried about him." Dad rubs his head then places a hand on my hair running his fingers through it. "You promised not do anything I wouldn't." Dad put his hands on his hips he takes a deep breath and out "I can't believe you've done this."

Uncle Rick smiles "I can he's just like your father's son. I expect it to happen. Do I need to remind you of the time I got chickenpox?" Dad sighs rubbing the back of his head "your right, But Jacob why did you drag Sophia into this?"

Before I can answer Sophia speaks "Rabbit didn't drag me into it we both wanted to see Carl. He's my friend too." She is determined when she speaks she doesn't call dad sir or mr Walsh. Dad blinks "Rabbit? whatever later alright but you need to tell your mother what you did. She's in her tent."

Sophia nods turning to me "good night" I nod back "good night dandelion."

Dad leads me back to the tent he put a hand on my shoulder. "I'm on first watch ok? You'll be able to sleep in here alone right?" I nod "yes dad but I won't be alone Lady is with me."

He kneels down placing one hand on my cheek and the other in my hair. I love when he does this it makes me feel safe leaning into his hand I place a hand on his arm. "Dad I'm worried Hershel wants us gone. Uncle Rick says he'll find a safe place for everyone but you said -" Dad pulls me into a hug "don't worry I'm gonna get it all worked out."

Running his fingers through my hair Dad kisses me on the head "just try to get some sleep champ, I will take care of everything that's what what Dads do ok?" I nod into dad's chest hugging him tighter "ok dad."

I feel him nod "ok champ get to bed...and try to sleep in your normal clothes it's a good habit in this world. You can take your shoes off but leave your socks on for now " Nodding again I lay down with Lady next to me. Dad runs his fingers though my hair again "good night champ." Yawning I close my eyes "good night Dad." Dad fingers leave my face after a few minutes I can hear him leave zipping up the tent as He leaves.

It's weird how my clothes can be comfortable all day but when I try sleep the jeans feel tight and rough. The socks feel weird. My waistline of my jeans feel really itchy. I snuggle into the pillow trying to sleep. Lady licks me I pet her stroking her fur. Focusing on my breathing I start relaxing.

Sophia and I are in the cabin Lady is there too she is barking at the window looking out the wall disappears standing there is Carl Dad and uncle Rick. Carl runs up to me. He is saying words but I don't understand it's all muffled. Carl grabs my shoulders he shouting shaking me but I still don't understand. I try to open my mouth but my lips won't part. Using my hand I pull them apart but still no sound will come out. Dad screams I look up he's shooting at the walkers he screams at me I can't understand what he's saying Carl drags me torch the cabin the path has stretched out where it's very long.

Carl and I run to the door stumbling on the steps. We slam into the door it shatters like glass. I fall onto the floor. Looking up I see Sophia she is struggling with a walker. My legs won't move they feel like jello Sophia screams but it sounds distorted. Carl pulls me up then goes after the walker he starts hitting it with a stick. Grabbing my knife but in my hand the blade falls limp like a spaghetti noodle. Needing to act I try to use the handle to hit the walker. It doesn't work the walkers turns me it's face is strange it's was a woman I know this person the face is all blurry but I know her. All of the sudden it finally dawns on me.

It's my egg donor

Gasping I sit up the tent is lit up by the pre dawn light. Lady is on high alert she sniffs around ears up looking around. Remembering the clothes I change into my now clean clothes. Dad must have put them in the tent this morning. I grab my my shoes quickly sipping them on. Petting Lady she calms down " shh it's ok girl it was just a nightmare." She licks my cheek making laugh a little despite the nightmare still bugging me.
