The Beginning Book 1

Chapter 11: A Group

"I lost the key." Said T-Dog. We all just looked at him. My dad told him that is would be okay. For the rest of the ride it was quiet until we got to the top of the hill.

"Hey come meet the rest of us." Said Morales. I moved up to the passenger side and dad got really sad. "Dad were going to find them. I know we will."
"I know. Don't worry about me sweetheart." He said to me smiling.
"Hey helicopter boy and girl! Get out here!" Shouted Morales.

My dad and I got out and I said, "Okay first of all don't call me helicopter girl and secondly..." Before I could say the second thing I saw Shane and I thought I was seeing things.

That's when I heard Carl shouting dad and Jess. When he hugged my dad and I, I knew I wasn't imaging this. Then we went over to my mom and hugged her.

I looked over to my right and said, "Well, well, well if it isn't one of my best friends Emily." She looked over at me and ran over, and hugged me as hard as she could. She also pushed me back so that I hit a tree. I was thinking damn she got stronger since I last saw her.

"Ow!"
"Sorry Jess. I was just really excited to see you."
"I understand that but you didn't have to slam me into a tree. Now can you please let go of me!"
"Oh yeah sure." Emily said letting go of me instantly.

I walked back over to the truck to get my things.
"Hey Jess do you want me to take those this to Shane's tent?" Asked Emily.
"Sure, but why Shane's tent?"
"I don't know. I just thought you would want to sleep in his tent."
"Okay." I just smiled at her and she walked away.

"Wow Jess I feel so loved." I looked over at who said that and it was Shane.
"Why?"
"Because I didn't get a hug from you. I mean I have just been waiting for you to come and find me." When he said that he gave me one of his famous smiles.

I walked over and gave him a hug. I couldn't say no to giving Shane a hug. I mean he gave me one of his famous smiles.

Later that night

Emily and I were next to each other with are heads on a log (by the camp fire) falling asleep. I then heard Shane say, "Hey Jess, Emily I think there are bugs on that log, and I bet there are crawling all over your hair."

Emily and I shot up and started messing with our hair. "Emily I think there's a spider on my neck."
"Let me see. Oh my god."
"What?"
"There is a huge spider on you."
"Then get off of me!" I yelled. That was one of the most traumatic experiences in my life. It was so bad I felt like I was going to cry.

That's when I heard Shane start to laugh. "You asshole! Why did you do that to us?" I said.
"Because I love you two so much." Said Shane still laughing.
"Okay that's bullshit and you know it." I said to Shane.

Emily and I got up to go to sleep. Before I did I gave my mom, dad, and Carl a kiss on the cheek. We walked to the tent where I was staying and she went off to a separate tent.

In the middle of the night

I heard someone or something come into the tent. So I grab my knife and shot up to defend my self. "Jess calm down its just me."
"Shane you scared the crap out of me."
"I sorry. Also I'm sorry to wake you. I know how cranky you can get."
"I know how cranky I can get to." I said laying back down.

Shane laid down next to me. So I turned so I was laying on my left side facing him. "I glad I made it here so I can see you and Emily again."
"Mainly me right?"
"Yeah Shane mainly you." I said smiling at him.

"Hey Jess. I'm really glad your here."
"Of course you are. It's me."
"No it's just that I've missed having you around."
"Well I missed having you around to Shane."
"I glad to hear that cause I have something to give you."

"Okay."
"Hold out your hands and close your eyes." I did as I was told and I felt the thing Shane put in my hands. "Can open my eyes know?"
"Yeah."

I opened my eyes and there was a necklace. It was one of those shark tooth necklaces. "Shane I love it." I said as I gave him a hug.
"I knew you would." The next thing I remember is falling asleep next to Shane.

Even later that night

I woke up to the sound of branches breaking outside of the tent. So I grabbed my bow and opened the tent just enough so I could peek my head outside. I looked all over; but all I could see was darkness except for the dim light coming from the fire.

I opened the tent the rest of the way and walked outside towards the fire. I saw Dale on top of the RV looking for any walkers. "Hey Dale." I whispered.

"Jess is that you?" He asked
"Yeah. Could I come up there?"
"Sure." I made my way up the ladder to the top of the RV. Once I got up to the top I sat down next to Dale. "You like the view Jess?" Dale asked me as we looked at the city with the star covered sky.

"Yeah it's so pretty." I said smiling looking up at the stars then back at the city.
"So why did you come up here? Is there something on your mind?" Asked Dale.
"I heard something outside of the tent; but now that you mention it I do have something on my mind."
"What is it?"

"I think I might like someone." I said quickly not really thinking about what I had just said.
"As a friend or more than a friend?" Dale questioned me looking a little confused.
"More than a friend." I confessed looking down at the ground.
"Jess don't be so sad about this. You are a teenager so you should be having these feelings. So who is the lucky guy?" I whispered who it was into Dales ear. He just just stared at me with a blank expression.

"What is it bad to like him?"
"No, your a teenage girl it's okay to like him. I am just shocked."
"Well it's getting late and I need to get some sleep. So I am going to go back to the tent."
"Okay. Good night Jess."
"Good night Dale." I whispered as I went down the ladder.

I opened the tent to see Shane taking up the whole space. "Shane move over." I whispered to him. He just moaned and turned onto his side. "Thank you." I laid down next to him and he turned over, and pulled me into a hug like I was a stuff animal. I just thought 'this is going to be a really long night'.

Next Day

When I got up Shane was already up. So I decided to get dressed. I put on a tang top, shorts, and my converse. When I got out of the tent Shane said, "Looks like sleepyhead decided to finale wake up."
"Hahaha you are so funny. I'm going to go out and find some squirrels."

After I said that Carl came up to me and asked, "Can I come with you?"
"If mom is okay with it." I watched him go over there and ask her.

She gave me the okay sign so Carl and I went off into the woods. I told him to stay behind me at all time unless I told him to. Every time I got a squirrel I let Carl go get it for me.

We were almost done when we saw a walker. The squirrel I shot was inches away from it and Carl screamed like a little girl. The men got there just in time to see me getting to squirrel. I felt like a ninja being so quiet.

When I got the squirrel I got up and Shane handed me a bat. We started beating the thing but I was thinking 'beating it won't help'.

Then Dale cut off it head I was thinking 'its still alive'. That's when we heard the movement in the bushes. I got my bow ready just incase it was a walker.

It was a man I didn't really recognized him until he started talking. I knew who he was but I didn't want to say it out loud. It was Daryl Dixon.

Thank you for reading chapter 11 in my walking dead book.

We finally ran into Shane, Jess's friend, mom, brother, and finally Daryl.
