Down we go | Maggie Greene

11. Outside

Daryl and I were out for quite some time since I told him and the others what happened we both decided that we would look for Sofia now because we were already out here it was silent and Daryl looked at me, but I didn't look back I just looked at the map and then into the forest

„What happened?" now I was looking at Daryl, his eyes fixed on me

I sighed and put the map back into my back and got off the horse

„Shane asked me how long I would stay at the farm and I told him it's None of his Business, and that made him angry... I guess? He Said that I would do things to Maggie because of the way I talk to her than he grabbed me and didn't let me Go, so I punched him and left" I Looked at Daryl I expected some distrust in his eyes, but his face was calm well I never saw him calm before so I should say he had is normal expression

"It doesn't sound so unbelievable to me as you think" I looked at him and raised an eyebrow, „what do you mean?" I asked, and he sighed "let's just say that Shane is not the lovely guy for people who are not Lorie" I had to laughed and as I wanted to say I heard something crack I looked around my gun in hand Daryl did the same

It was silent for some time, and we looked confused at each other

„You think it was a walker?" I asked but Daryl shook his head „I don't think so we would properly hear it by now" I didn't say anything else and looked around me again until Daryl pointed at a path „let's follow it maybe we will find something" I nodded, and we took the horse and Daryl's bike and went off we didn't talk while we were walking cause there wasn't really anything to talk about we after what felt like forever we came to a halt, and we looked at a big with house „and I thought the greens warm was in the middle of nowhere" Daryl just nodded, and we decided to go closer to the house weapons in hand „we have gone be careful" Daryl said as w stood in front of the door „really? I thought we were just about to knock and look if one of those things made tea for us" I raised both of my eyebrows, but Daryl rolled his eyes and kicked in the door I pulled my gun up so did he.

We entered the house and walked slowly in looking around to make sure it was safe „you go right I go left" I whispered to Daryl and he nodded.

I looked into the room, but it was empty, so was Daryl's

I looked into another room, but it was empty as well suddenly there was a noise coming near the room I was in Daryl turned around and went in the room on the other side this one was as we're all the others empty, but Daryl stopped looking into the trash can and pulled something out I looked around the room and saw an open door I pointed it out to Daryl and I went forward gun still in hand I opened the door to find it empty as well I signed in relief but noticed a blanket and pillows on the floor „uhm Daryl I think someone was here not too long ago" Daryl looked now into the closest and then at me „Sofia" we said at the same time.

We got out the house and start looking outside „Sofia!" I called „Sofia, are you there?" Daryl called as well but sadly no answer we walked around the house looking for Sofia, but we didn't find anything I was looking at the map to find out where we are, but then I noticed Daryl kneeling before some flowers I was confused but didn't ask what he was doing.

After a while we decided to go back and tell the others what we found the next day because it was already getting late.

When we got back, Daryl said that he was going to visit carol I stopped and turned around „Hey Daryl" he stopped as well and looked at me.

„Thank you for listening and believing me" he looked at me and gave a thumbs up I smiled at him and looked after him as he was leaving it was now completely dark outside I sat at the porch looking at the stars I sighed and rubbed my head „This can't get any worse" I said to myself I grabbed my bag and pulled out and old pack of cigarettes I looked at them before pulling on out and lighting it on with my lighter that I had in my pocket I took a deep breath and I felt the smoke filling my lungs after a few more breaths I heard footsteps, but I didn't bother to turn around

„Didn't think you were one of the smokers" I looked up to see Hershel and I looked between him and my cigarette „oh my gosh I'm so sorry I can turn out the cig" Hershel shook his had and sat down beside me „it's okay I don't mind, but please don't let the filter lie around here okay?" he gave me a gentle smile and I smiled back.

"Okay" it was silent, the only thing you could here was the wind in the grass „how's the boy doing?" I asked when I remembered why Maggie and I went to the pharmacy in the first place „thanks to You and Maggie a lot better, he will be stable soon."

„That's great" I said and then there was silent again.

I hated it

„So I heard you punched Shane in the face?" I groaned. I hoped that I didn't need to talk about this soon but here I was „how do you know?" he laughed „I didn't he came to me and asked for a patch and the only person I could think would punch him are you and Daryl the others are either to blind or too afraid to punch him" now I was the one laughing „I didn't want to, but he said some stuff that made me angry, and he wouldn't let me be, so I punched him and I know you don't want that I'm sorry" Hershel looked at me and sighed „yeah you're right I don't want that, but you seem like a good person and my Family likes you so you probably had a good reason for it, so I let it slide but I don't want you punching more people understood?" I smiled and saluted at him „yes sir" "good" with that he stood up and said „good night Ivy" I waved at him „good night Hershel" and he left I just sat there I wasn't tried and didn't know what to do, so I just looked at the stars and enjoyed the night

Hey there so I was gone for a long, long time, and I am very sorry about that I had school and work going on, and it was very important for me to finish that first, but I am back and ready to write more from now on
