Three Dixon's

Chapter 12:

Hailey

When I wake up I notice everyone is still asleep so I quietly get away from everyone and pull out my camera.

*snap*

I smile when the picture comes out. I wave it in the air and put it in my bag. Then everyone starts waking up and I just sit down and fidget with my crossbow.

"Goodmorning" says Beth
"Hey" I say drinking water
"Beautiful day?" She says
"Its always nice to see everyone alive" I say
"It always is" says Beth sitting next to me
"What does that do?" Asks Beth pulling the trigger on my crossbow
"Don't touch that!" But she already pulled it and it's shooting at Carl
"GET UP NOW CARL" I yell
He immediately jolts up and the bow hits where he was.
I sigh in relief and can't help but laugh
"That's not funny" says Carl
"It's Beth's Fault" I say
"It was an accident" says Beth
"I accept the apology" says Carl
I shake my head and walk over to carl, grabbing my arrow and walking back to my crossbow.

"You" I say pointing to Beth "do not touch this crossbow again"
She pouts and says "fine"
I nod and notice that Zachary wasn't around.

"Where's Zachary?" I ask
Everyone's eyes fall to the ground
"He was bitten" mumbles Lori
"What!??" I say
"He decided to turn so we left him back in the highway" says Rick
I shake my head and fall to the ground.

Not Zachary

I hit the ground with my fists.

"Um..we're going to clear out a cell block so we'll see you guys later" says Daryl patting my back
"Who's going?" I ask
"Rick, Maggie, glenn, Hershel, T-dog and me" says Daryl
I nod and watch as they walk towards the gates and open it.

I sigh heavily and lay on the ground staring at the sky.

"Oh Zach I miss you" I say
"It'll be okay. He's in a better place says Beth sitting down next to me.

"Hey killer" I say jokingly, sitting up
"It was one time!" Says Beth
"No it was this morning!" I say laughing again
Beth smacks my arm playfully
"Whatever" says Beth
I laugh harder despite the fact that my brother went into the infested area.

"Why are you laughing?" Asks Carl
"The fact that Beth shot an arrow at you" I say coughing
"That was not funny" says Carl with a pout
"No it wasn't funny" I say getting up and putting my hand on my shoulder. He smiles.
I stop myself before I yell out "it was hilarious"
Carl frowns and crosses his arms but I wrap my arms around his neck and Eskimo kiss him.

He blushes slightly and I kiss his lips softly.

"Lips off my son" says Lori pulling us apart. She chuckles when she sees Carl's red face.
"Wow sweetie, look at you" says Lori
"Mom!" Carl whines
"Okay okay I'll go over there but no kissing" says Lori
I nod but kiss Carl when Lori turns around.

He laughs and kisses me back deeply
I smile but see everyone struggling to kill an armoured walker.

I let go of Carl and run towards the gate.

"Pull the helmet back and stab" I yell.
Maggie hears me and does it.
"Alright Hails!" Yells Daryl, stabbing the armored walker.
I smile and open the gate after all the walkers are killed.
"Good job" says Carl wrapping his arm around me
"Yea great job" says Lori
I shrug and walk into the cell block.
"Not in bad shape after so long" I say walking into my old cell.
"I can see little man kept it coozy" I add walking inside and putting my stuff on the top bunk
"Little man?" Says Carl
"Oh he was a big guy but he was a teddy bear. I don't even remember why he was in here" I say
"Oh" is all Carl says as he throws his stuff on the top bunk and j look at him confusingly.
"Now that we are in a cell together you are not leaving my side in bed" says Carl
I roll my eyes and notice that Beth is right next door.

"Neighbors!" I say jokingly
"More like best friends!! Especially because we have so much in common!" Says Beth happily
I laugh and look at my brother who's laying his stuff at the top of the stairs.

"You never really liked cells" I say to him
"Yea you know me." He says looking away slightly
"Okay what's wrong?" I ask walking up the stairs
"Me, Glenn, Rick, T-dog and Hershel are going to go clear out more" daryl says
"Just be careful" I say hugging him
"Always try to" Daryl says as he grabs his bow and walks out.

"Be careful guys" I yell as I walk down the stairs
"Always try to" says Rick handing the keys to Carl
I nod and watch as Carl locks the cell door when they walk out.
