"Go! Go! Go!" I ran, well, Rick practically dragged me to the RV. "Get down." I got down to the ground and cover my head. I hear honking and yelling.

"Dale! Get down! Get down!" I cry as I feel the ground shake and a heat wave hits us. when the heat wave passes and the ground stops shaking I get up off the ground. Letting out a relieved sigh when I see Andrea and Dale making their way to the RV.

"Is everyone ok?" We all nod. I place a hand on my stomach and I sigh.

"Are we leaving the car?" I look at Rick, who was driving the RV now. He shakes his head.

"Shane is driving it, his jeep was running on fumes." Ok, at least I can get my things.

"Ok." I sit down at the table, taking my bow and quiver off my back. I set it against the window and unstrap my knives from my thigh.

I watch as we pull away from the burning CDC. Carol and Sofia were riding with T-dog in his van, I'm pretty sure that Shane was alone, and Daryl had his truck. We drove for about an hour before Rick sighed, bringing the RV to a stop.

"Why'd we stop." Dale questions, looking out the windshield. It looks like we stopped in an abandoned neighborhood.

"We're using too much gas!" He shook his head, we all piled out of the RV.

"We gotta get rid of some vehicles." He puts his hands on his hips.

"I'm keeping the bike," Daryl says. I look over at him, to see him already looking at me. I look to the ground.

"I have nothing in the van." t-dog shook his head.

"We can siphon gas from the van and the truck, then I'll take Carl, Lori, and Rory with me in the car. then Shane, carol, Sofia, and t-dog can go in the RV." we all agreed. as they siphoned gas from the vehicles, I went and got my things from the RV.

I sat in the backseat, waiting to go. about twenty minutes after we could leave. I reach behind me, setting my bag with the others.

"I remember when you got those." Rick looks at me through my review mirror. "You had just finished your first level, and Darla got them for you as a congratulatory gift. Your face, it lit up when you opened them. You were so excited to show us what you learned. Then you shot Shane in the foot." The way he said it was really funny, so I busted out laughing.

"I didn't mean to!" I giggle. "Now that I think about it, maybe mom should have waited to give those to me. Maybe 5 wasn't the best age for me to be yielding dangerous weapons." Me and Ricks dad, he died when I was 8, and then 2 years later my mom died. I've been with Rick ever since, but it felt like I was living with him from the beginning.

"You shot Shane in the foot!?" Carl asks, Lori was in the passenger seat laughing at the memory.

"Yeah, I was little. I didn't pull back enough for it to go all the way through, but the tip stuck," I explain to him. I watch as his face turns red from laughter.

the drive was filled with talking and laughter, then we started to slow down. I look in front of us, seeing that there was a pile-up of cars and the RV was smoking.

"We're gonna be here for a while," I say to no one in particular.

"Yup!" Rick says popping the 'p'. He parks the car and shuts it off. I get out with Lori and walk beside her.

"This feels wrong." she rubs her arm, looking around at all the abandoned cars. "It's like a graveyard."

"Just be thankful that you weren't here when it happened." Dale points around and we all agree.

"Though, this is sad. This is an opportunity. Look around, see what we can find." rick says. we all nod before getting to work.

"This is cute!" Lori hands up a little yellow onesie. One that another baby had to of worn. One that probably didn't make it.

"It is really cute," I smile at her before taking it from her hands. I grip the cloth in my hand before rummaging for more.

I gasp as a hand is put over my mouth. I go to elbow the man but I see who it is. He puts a finger over his mouth and crouches down, me going with him.

"Get under the car, be quiet." I nod and watch as Daryl runs away. I do as I'm told and shuffle my way out from under. I hold my breath and clench my eyes close, listening to the moans and groans of the walkers coming by.

I use all my strength to keep focus on them. I watched as they thinned out before there were none. I stayed under the car after I saw the last one.

I quickly dragged myself from under the car, hearing Sofia's screams. I watch as she goes down the hill, two walkers following.

"Rick!" I groan as Rick biffs it and rolls down the hill.

Do not laugh. This is not a laughing matter aurora.

I sigh and make my way to Lori and carol, who was crying. "My baby." She squeaks out. "My baby." She looks at me. I sigh and rub my forehead before pulling her into a hug.

"We'll find her, I promise," I tell her, I pat her back a little before walking away. I walk around, trying to find Carl.

I saw him sitting with Dale. I nervously play with the bracelet on my wrist. "Is Sofia gonna be ok?" I bit my lip. How was I supposed to answer this, I didn't wanna lie to him but I didn't wanna tell the truth.

"I'm sure she'll be ok bud." Dale speaks up. I look at him and mouth a 'thank you to him. He nods in response.

"Let's go look around." I pat his shoulder, telling him to follow me.

"Is mom pregnant?"

"What?"

"Well because I saw you guys looking through some baby clothes earlier. So I wanted to know if she was pregnant." I sigh, looking down. I seem to sigh a lot, holy fuck.

"No, mom's not the pregnant one."

"Then who?" I didn't say anything, Carl was a smart boy. He should figure it out soon enough.

"You!?" His eyes widened, and a smile creeps up on his face.

"Is it you!? Please tell me it's you!"

"Yes, Carl it's me." I laugh a little as he comes forward and hugs me. "Does mom and dad know?" I nod.

"You gotta keep it a secret though, not everyone knows," I tell him and he nods.

"Come on, I wanna see if we can find any cool." Carl pulls me along to each car.

I feel like this isn't a good story😕
