Walsh on a farm

27 That's The Night When The Lights Went Out In Georgia

AN: TW death and Randall is creepy towards the kids, he doesn't say explicit but it's creepy and manipulative to the kids.

In the morning I meet Sophia and Carl at the campfire. Today she has a large bow in her hair. It's a gaudy thing pink rhinestone cover the thing, glitter is everywhere on it. The thing is large the loops can be seen on either side of her head from the front ant the tails touches the back of her shoulders.

"Morning Jay how ya sleep?" she asks I sigh blowing a raspberry as an answer "you?" i ask. She shrugs " same" carl nods "Ditto." He looks around "early this morning dad Shane and Daryl moved the guy to the shed Hershel doesn't want him in the house anymore." I nod at carl statement " Where are you going with this?" I ask. Sophia crosses her arms "you want to see him. but why?"

He places his hands on his belt like his father does. "We should get into the shed." I blink "why?" He rolls his eyes like his thinking is obvious " to talk to him of course. Ain't ya curious who he is why he attacked them?" I shake my head I really don't care I already have the answer he attacked them because he is bad and he is bad because he attacked them it's as simple as that.

"Come on rabbit you got to be curious. We can get our chores done first if you scared of getting in trouble." Dandelion elbows me.

I scowl "I'm not scared." Carl smirks "then why don't you come with us? If your not a scarey-cat."

My nose scrunch's up I know he is baiting me but I'm no scarey-cat "Fine I'll go I ain't scared of nobody and nobody!"

We can't go now of course first breakfast Glenn did a run a not long ago and the traps might have caught more game.

I can see dad tending to the fire he waves us over. As we approach I feel that he knows what we planned. He had to be a mind reader.

"Champ come sit here y'all need to eat." Dad ruffles my hair handing me a can over half full with beans with chunks of a meat in it. He hands Carl and Sophia theirs also. "I fed Lady this morning. Don't share with her."

He ruffles my hair kissing my forehead "stay safe ok?"

I nod "ok dad."

He leaves walking off towards the barn.

We eat in silence the plan looming over us.

Lady licks the toes of my shoe I smile "ha you can't get my toes!"

She stops looks at me for a second. Then immediately noses up my pants leg and licks the skin there. I jump at her wet tongue, laughing.

I've finished my breakfast and we get to chores.

"Come on girl you'll be good help with chores." Lady would have followed me if I spoke to her or not but I like to pretend she understands me.

Lady was not good help but we got the chores done. The sun was low in the sky by the time we were done.

"Ok so the plan is to sneak though the window during our reading time." Carl says drawing the shed in the dirt. There is some boxes stacked up near the back window we will climb up to the window and slip in.

The stranger is thin he stares at us and smiles. But his eyes are strange I don't like this person he is weird. He opens his mouth "hey kids you must be pretty smart to get in here. Those are nice hats scarf and bow your wearing." carl smiles and nods Sophia scowls and I grab my scarf pulling it so it covers my face. " you should be proud of your self most kids couldn't get in here on their own. You must be really mature." he continues with out any of us speaking mature is always something I want to be dad tells me I have to act mature and I am? Pride fills my chest. But something still feels wrong I don't think this is what dad would be proud of me for. I run my fingers though my hair. "I bet your parents still treat y'all like kids huh? you know my group is better. If you untie me I can let you join up wouldn't that be fun."
