Survivor

Chapter 6 Crossbows

AMBER POV:

"Everyone's dead!" I yelled, "my sister may be alive but who knows in a world like this anymore!" I kept yelling.

I saw a walker in the distance. I ran forwards and angrily stabbed continuesly as blood covered my clothes, face and my hands.
"Amber you have to stop, your scaring people." She muttered the last few words.
"You know what? I've gone through much worse than you did. You have everybody, and I only have Daryl. That's it. I'm not even related to him." I yelled a bit louder than I expected.
"You are scaring Carl." She added

"Carl? Oh yeah. He's never killed a walker has he? I've saved him and warned him to get away from that deer. And he's scared of me?!" my voice slowly got more quiet as I finished talking.
"I want you to stay away from him."
"Maybe you should tell him to stay away from me! He's the one following me everywhere I go! What, you think I'm a bad influence on Carl? Maybe I should just leave, Lori, for anything your the one that's a terrible influence. I saw you and Shane, I watched this group way before I showed myself. I'm not stupid! I've met people like Shane who do bad things to girls! Have you ever thought what I've been through? The torture, the pain, the thought I had of letting it end at some random moment when I lost all my hope thinking I was going to die?" I stuttered as I fell to the ground.

Finally the tears had arrived, after so long. Lori walked over and touched my shoulder. I flinched and ran into the woods. I sat against a tree letting all the tears free.

I had noticed a walker wobbling around in the woods. I tried to get its attention by yelling at it.
"Hey dumb ass! Here's your dinner for tonight. Come get me."

Lori watched in horror as it approached me slowly. She couldn't take it anymore. She ran for me. I sat there as she nelt down and hugged me.

"It's ok Lori. I'll stay away from Carl, you and the others. I'm just a burden to your group. I don't belong here. I'm running away." I told her as she stared into my sharp brown eyes and I stared into her's.

"You can't. Your family!" She replied sternly.
"Wow. Being yelled at by a pregnant woman is not what I expected. I mean. My mom with my sister was way different."
Lori's jaw dropped as she covered her mouth with her hands
"You know?" She asked.
"Of course. I can tell. You and Shane seemed really close before Rick came back." I answered calmly.

I started walking back to camp looking back at Lori. She looked really worried about me knowing. I didn't think she trusted me that much. In my mind I told myself I wouldn't tell Rick about anything. I didn't want to be the kind of person no one can trust.

As I got closer to camp I saw Daryl coming for me. He ran and hugged me tightly. I felt small in his grasp but I was used to it.

I noticed Sophia laying down in the grass.
"hi Sophia!" I greeted
It looked like she was sleeping until I looked down at her wast. There was dark red blood stained her light blue t-shirt.

I lifted up the bottem of her shirt and looked at her waist. I saw the bite. She was dead.

I backed away in horror.
I never should have gotten mad at her. She wouldn't have felt bad. She would have stayed right where she was if she hadn't saw me under the next car over. she was scared. And now... She's gone.

I sat in the RV alone as I cleaned my face up from all the blood that splattered on my face yesterday.

I looked behind me and caught Carl starring at me through the door way.
"You need anything?" I asked him.
"N-no. I came to just s-say hi." He stuttered.
"Sophia's dead." I wispered.
I looked at him again. He nodded slightly. He sat next to me and he put  his arm around my shoulder.
I flinched and tugged away and with that I ran.
