Look for the light. || Carl grimes

Chapter 10:found you.

I woke up my head throbbing making me just want to cry it felt like i was getting eaten by the walkers by now or like i got shot in the head i looked around the room where's Carl ? Where's Salem? I thought to myself scared before I heard the door creak open I looked over staring at it revealing a tall figure and a hat "how'd you sleep?" He asked me "good." I replied tiredly before taking some medicine I stood up slowly my vision not going blurry this time Carl walked over "you want help?." He asked worried that I'd fall "no no I'm fine" I replied with a faint smile he gave me one back as I started walking I called out for Salem she rushed over hopping into a heel "good girl" I said to her patting her side as she kept focus on me as I walked slowly thru the house and soon outside the house in some baggy leggings and a baggy shirt.

"Can I go out ?" I asked Rick as he was the one who said how long I'd be in bed rest for possibly but he was wrong "as long as you bring Salem i think you'll be fine.." he said still worried for my well being even tho we didn't know eachother to well I was his sons best friend "okay I'll be back"I said smiling taking a gun a pistol more like and I headed out

30 mins went by and I sat by a tree playing fetch with Salem as my mind wandered thru thoughts as it went to one of my thoughts where I had made my first enemy his name was Andrew Andrew seemed like a sweet guy more civilized had a community kinda like Alexandria the place was nice walls everywhere places to sleep food water everything that Alexandria has before it all went to shit I had a friend named Lexi Lexi was a sweet girl but also very stubborn she would refuse orders from Andrew or anyone in charge of her sooner or later Andrew started to torture her I found out sooner or later he did it to others who would refuse orders or disobey him one day i walked into his room him asking me to find something I heard Lexi yelling in the other room "hello ? Hello ? Syd is that you ??" She yelled out or atleast tried to I slowly walked over to the room opening the door revealing her bruises cuts blood everywhere her tied to a chair I felt horrible..

Andrew came in and started to speak "Sydney you find it?-" he asked then realized I found out about Lexi "what the fuck is wrong with you Andrew.." I asked terrified tears rolling out of my eyes at that point of time "don't ever open the room again and don't tell anyone" he said grabbing my wrist making me go out of his room as I walked out I tried to tell others I had heard him talking about attacking another group basically explaining ricks group or the Alexandria group more likely I was maybe 13 maybe even 15 who knows I can't remember my age sooner or later he found out I tried to tell people he got mad kept his cool tho until the day I decided I needed to tell that group he was planning to attack chases after me trying to kill me never succeeded I got away in time luckily I hoped and prayed he never found me again

Well thank god for lucky thoughts i said to myself as I opened my eyes admiring the beauty of the trees the leaves the autumn weather I closed my eyes the wind Blowing in my face as I rested my head on the tree my peacefulness was interrupted by the sudden sound of Salem barking I grabbed salems collaring sitting down as a man rounded the corner

"Found you." He spoke towering over me as I sat there scared almost in shock .

exciting little chapter 🫣😱
