I wake up in my tent and I roll over on my back and I look at the top of the tent, I lay there for a few minutes trying to get my self in the frame of mind to get up.

I sit up and grab my water bottle and drink some water before grabbing my clothes and putting them on.

I put on my shorts and I grab a tank top and pull on my boots and I chuck my hair up in a high pony tail and I put the gun in the back of my shorts and I exit the tent and instantly feel the sun heat up my skin, it felt nice but I knew later it would be even warmer and be way to hot.

Me and Daryl and Merle had been with this camp now for about 3 weeks I guess. if I'm honest I lost track of the days, it could be longer than 3weeks. I walk out and look around and see that there was people missing from our camp.

Amy walks over to me and greets me
"Morning Shannon, Daryl told me to tell you that his going on a hunt and he will be back when his back."

"Oh okay. where's everyone else" I asked

"Gone on the run to the city." She said letting me know.

"What? Without me. Glenn was meant to wake me up" I told her.

"Sorry they left early, merle went instead" Amy explained.

"okay thanks" I sigh feeling left out.

"I've gotta go, I'm going to hunt for mushrooms" Amy walks off with a smile carrying her bowl.

A little later on I'm sitting talking to lori about what we had before the turn. I told her that I lived with my sister on a quite estate not far from Atlanta and that it was just us as my dad died, i explained that my mom well she was a crappy mom. she gave a shit more about men than her husband and family.
I remember she was a good mom till I was about four then it was like someone flicked a switch she changed over night, was always out and then one day never come home, her idea of being a mom was the odd letter and not turning up to arranged visits.

Anyway, lori told me about her husband that he got shot, and was in a coma a month before the turn, and that he had died, Shane was a close family friend and kept her and Carl safe.

Amy returns with her bucket of mushrooms and hands them to lori,
"How do we know if we can eat them" she asked her.

"Only one way to know for sure" lori mumbles looking closely at them.

"Ask shane I guess" I said looking to her.

Lori looks up and smiles "your right" she chuckles.
She grabs her bucket and gets up "dale I'm heading out, won't be too long, Dale Shannon can you keep an eye on Carl for me"

"Sure" I smile looking down at the ground rolling my eyes fed up with her disappearing and leaving me and Dale looking after her kid.

"sure, if you see anything, holler I will come running" Dale said looking down off the top of the RV.

I'm sitting there with a stick picking at it feeling bored and not being able to go anywhere due to Carl watch as I called it.
Dale then calls out to me "Shannon sweetheart loris been a while, can you go have a look around in the direction she went please. I would ask Shane but I'm not sure where he is"

"Yeah sure thing" I said standing up grabbing my knife of the floor "Carl keep in dales sight okay" Carl nods at me with a smile and I head off the way lori took off

I walk in a slow pace looking around as I go through the forest looking at the tracks on the floor.
The one good thing being with Daryl and merle them four days was that I picked up bits on tracking thanks to Daryl teaching me a bit as we went.

It was then I saw it, shane and Lori on the floor and not dead, Shane was between Lori's legs and they was a little to close for comfort.
Lori notices me and pats shane on the back getting his attention.
"Look I'm going, carry on" I said turning on my heels "dale was worried that's all" I calltover my shoulder.
And with that I go back to the camp quicker than I left.

"You find her" Dale yells to me when i arrived back at camp.

"Yeah there coming" I called out grinning with the unintended pun I used.

"They?" Dale asked me.

"Oh yeah I found shane too" I informed Dale opening the water getting a strange look from Dale.

I was there at camp and the others still wasn't back and Amy was worried about her sister Andrea.
We had a call through on the radio from the others they had said they was stuck in the department store but that's all we could make out due to the radio kept breaking up and then there was silence.
I stand there listening to the thunder in the distance getting funny looks off Lori when a noise of the thunder wasn't all we could here anymore, a car alarm echoed and it was getting louder and louder which meant it was getting closer and closer.

"Talk to me Dale" Shane said rushing over to the Rv looking up at the old gray haired man.
Dale was looking through the binoculars "hard to tell but stolen car is my guess" he calls down to Shane.
"Is it them" Amy yells up to him.

A red sporty car pulls up with the alarm blaring,
"Turn it off" I yelled covering my ears.

"Holy crap turn that thing off" Dale yells at Glenn who just got out the car.
"I dunno how" he yelled back.
"My sister, Andrea?" Amy yells running to Glenn.
"Pop the hood please" Shane yells at Glenn banging his hand on the bonnet of the car in anger.
Glenn stands there not knowing what to do first deal with the car or Amy.

I walk over and pop the hood for Shane.
"Andrea she's  fine so is everyone, well merle not to much" Glenn said.

"What? Why merle" I asked concerned.
"He got left behind" Glenn said turning to me
I look at him and nod knowing Daryl was going to be pissed when he gets back.

"Are you crazy driving this wailing bastard up here" shane snaps at Glenn.

"I think we are okay" dale said looking around
"You call being stupid okay" Shane said looking to Dale.

"Well the noise was echoing all over the it be hard to pin point the source" Dale explained.
Shane looks at Dale with a disapproving look
"I'm not arguing I'm just saying, It wouldn't hurt you to think things through a little more carefully next time, would it?" Dale said pointing to Glenn.

"Sorry." Glenn said to everyone "but got a cool car though" Glenn said with a massive smile.

Then a van pulls up and out the back of the truck Andrea runs over and Amy greets her with a hug. it was nice that they still had each other. it made me miss my sister even more.

"Well how did you get out" I asked Glenn.

"New guy, he got us out" Glenn said with a smile.

"New guy?" I questioned him.

"Yeah his a cop like you" morales said looking over to Shane. "Hey helicopter boy come meet everyone" he yells to the new guy.

Out from behind the van walked out a guy in a sheriffs uniform and he looks at us all
Till he lands eyes on two particular people in the group.
With a flash if lighting Carl speeds past me screaming "dad" he jumps into the sheriffs arms with lori not far behind.

I look at Shane standing there with a shocked expression on his face.
I stand there and wonder what he was thinking I see lori look at him over her husbands shoulder and then turns to me with guilt in her eyes.
