Daryl's reaction to Merle's predicament was well expected but I was surprised when he tried to attack my dad but luckily Shane stopped him. Then Dad , trying to be the hero said that he and a few others would go with Daryl to get Merle . I Instantly argued saying that we just got him back and he promised he wouldn't leave but he reassured me that it would be fine and he has to do this because it's the right thing to do and we need those guns he left behind .

Everyone was saying goodbye to those who were going " be careful and you better be back , or I'm going to find you and kill you again" I say to my dad as threateningly as I could . He and Carl laughs "come 'ere" he pulls me and Carl into a tight hug , I don't want to let him go but I know I have too. He then goes over to my mom giving her a hug but she seems hesitant. Weird .

I go over to the rest saying bye to T-dog and Daryl wishing them luck before I go to Glen who has been forced to go for his navigation skills . " El I'm going to be fine trust me , I might even get a new car since they mercilessly destroyed my other one " he says with annoyance. I let out a giggle at his scrunched up face " fine but if you do I get to drive it as much as I want " he smiles at me before saying " deal" he shakes my hand before pulling me in for a hug . I instantly wrap my arms around him before I panic remembering Tommy and let go suddenly stepping back . I Look around as I see tom but he is busy speaking to Shane, thank god . I turn back to Glen who followed my eye line and has a questioning look on his face but doesn't say anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a while since the others left and we are all by the water , I am with the other girls doing the laundry as I look over to Shane , Tommy and Carl . They are trying to catch frogs but failing miserably despite that Carl still has a bright smile on his face as him and Shane keep laughing at Tommy's awful attempts. It's nice that we have such a good uncle like Shane he has always been there for us even if me and him butt heads sometimes I will always be thankful for him.

" Can someone explain to me why all the women have wound up doing all the Hattie McDaniel work ? " Jacqui says to us . " the world ended , didn't you get the memo" Amy replied I nod in agreement " well it's seems they have resorted back to olden day times where women did the household work and the men go and do the "real" work" I say in annoyance. Everyone agrees with me as Carol replies " You know for your age Elodie , your pretty wise" I laugh at the idea of me being wise " I've just been spending too much time with Dale " I say and we all laugh.

To pass time from this boring task we start talking about what we miss . Carol goes first " I do miss my Maytag" , Andrea goes next "I miss my Benz, my Sat nav" Then Jacqui " I miss my coffee maker with dual drip filter and built-in grinder , honey" I let out a huff as I imagine the pleasure of drinking some of that coffee right now. Amy goes next " My computer and texting" I nod in agreement " yeah I miss being in contact with my friends in Virginia" I say. Then Andrea says " I miss my vibrator" we all gasp and start laughing before Carol replies " me too" and we all laugh even harder. Before we our rudely interrupted by Carol's husband Ed I think is name is.

" what's so funny" he grumbles out with a cigarette hanging out his mouth , ugh I really don't like this guys he gives me bad vibes. " just swapping war stories" Andrea replies to him. There is an awkward silence as Ed walks around observing us I let out a laugh as a coping mechanism . I can't stand the silence, he stops behind me I can smell his disgusting cig breath from here . I turn around looking him in the eye " problem , Ed" I ask him politely as he seems like the type of person who could snap very easily " None that concerns you , you guys ought to focus on your work . This ain't no comedy club" he replies , i huff in disbelief at this so called "man" who has done nothing but sit on his ass since he has been here but I don't say anything else as I don't want to start anything however Andrea on the other hand get's up staring at him " Alright Ed , here if you don't like how your laundry is done your welcome to do it yourself " she says with attitude as she throws his wet clothes at him , he instantly throws it back aggressively.

I jump back in surprise as Ed replies" Ain't my job , missy" . Carol tries to stop Andrea but she doesn't listen "what is your job, Ed ?, sitting on your ass smoking cigarettes?" I mean she isn't wrong but I can already tell this isn't going to end well so I create distance between me and Ed. " Well , it sure as hell ain't listening to some uppity smart-mouthed Bitch" He calls over to Carol telling her that they should go but Andrea isn't finished "I don't think she needs to go anywhere with you , Ed" . He dismisses Andrea and calls over to Carol again , Andrea tries to talk to Carol but Ed interrupts her " Hey don't think I won't knock you on your ass ,just cause your some college-educated Bitch" Andrea let's out an exasperated gasp. As I put my hand on her shoulder whispering in her ear " let's leave it now me , you and Amy can go" but she doesn't listen.

Ed speaks to Carol again "come on now , or your going to regret it later" . What does he mean by that , oh god he doesn't does he ..but before I could finish my thoughts Jacqui speaks " so she can show up with fresh bruises , yeah I've seen them". Omg he is worse than I thought, poor Carol she doesn't deserve this she is a lovely lady. He starts arguing again back and forth then he grabs Carols arm harshly dragging her away but we try stop him . Then we hear a loud slap as his hand comes into Carols cheek I gasp as a fight breaks out. Then Ed is dragged away by Shane as he punches his face repeatedly.

Carols cries are heard as we try comfort her but Shane doesn't stop, we all shout at him but the punches continue. Ed deserves this but it isn't fair on Carol . " Uncle Shane , He's had enough" I shout finally and he stops , still holding onto Ed as he says " you put your hands on your wife , your little girl or anyone else in this camp. One more time , I will not stop next time, You hear me !
