Childish (OC x OC) (TWD)

chapter three

Rose's pov

Waking up today felt different. I don't know if it was because Archie was still in cot next to me or if it was because I slept like a baby. I turn my head to look at Archie, to see that he hadn't moved all night. I slowly shift myself to face him, His head now laying on my chest and his hands on my back . I move the hair from his face as I lay my hand on his cheek, rubbing my thumb in circles. Slowly he opens his eye to look at me.

"its quite rude to stare." he states as he moves to get up. I chuckle and move to let him get off the bed. "I'm going to my tent to change and brush, i'll see you later?" he ask me as he scratches the back of his head.

"yea, I'll come get you when I'm ready to do your hair. I promise." I say as I push my hair behind my ears. He nods his head and walks out of the tent, as he stretches his long legs to their full height.

I zip up my tent and change into a clean outfit. I walk out of my tent, to see everybody doing their own think. I start making my way toward Glenn and Rick as they stand and watched Jim, Shane, Dale and Archie take a part his car.

"Look at 'em. Vultures." he complains. "yeah, go on, strip it clean." He says with annoyance. I pat his back.

"its ok. the cars to loud anyway." I say trying to make him feel better. Archie laughs at me

"I don't think thats going to make him feel better, sweetheart." He jokes. I roll my eyes and turn away from the men stripping the car.

"Generators need every drop of fuel they can get. Got no power without it. Sorry Glenn." Dale explains as he pats Glenns shoulder and walks back to the RV

"Thought i'd get to drive it, a few more days." he whispers to me and Rick,

"Maybe we'll get to steal another one someday." Rick whispers back, trying to make Glenn feel better about the situation and pats his back. I give Glenn a small side hug and walk over to my sister.

"what you doing" I ask trying to annoy her.

"waiting to daryl to get back from his hunt." She says. Her eyes never leaving the gun shes cleaning. I sit next to her and lay my head on her shoulder.

we sit in silence for what felt like forever, but I don't mind. I always love wasting time doing nothing with my sister. Spending time with my sister was always an escape from the all the yelling my parents would do before the divorce and stan. My mother would always send us to the store just so we didn't have to hear or see what would go down.  It was her way of keeping us safe from stan and out of the drama she had with our dad. I'll always be thankful for my mom doing her best to keep us safe. Even if it meant she got hurt.

Suddenly that sounds of carls screaming can be hear from a far. In a panic I get up and run towards the screaming with my knife in hand.

"DAD!" I hear carl scream, causing me to run faster. Thank god I ran track In High School. I could Vaguely hear Lori and others from camp chasing behind me, calling out for the two kids in the woods. When i see the kids and a woman from camp emerge from the trees, I run pasted them and down the path they came from, with Shane and Rick following behind me.

I gasp when I come to see a walker eating a deer. Stupidly everybody circled around the walker instead of killing it from the get go. I stand back and let the 'men' Handle the situation. I shake my head as I watch them hit the walker in all the wrong places.

" And these are the men you girls rely on to keep the camp safe." I whisper to the girls who are standing behind some bushes. All out of breath they back up from the body just staring at it.

"It's the first one we've had up here. They never come this far up the mountain." Dale exclaimed.

"well, they're most likely running out of food in the city." Archie states from behind me. I turn to smile at him, only to see he was already looking at me.
