Carl P.O.V

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

"ALEX!"I screamed as I crawled over towards him, but I froze once I saw that his eyes were closed with his arms spread out to the side.

I watched as dad and Shane quicky ran to us. Dad bent down next to Alex started to shake him while Shane walked past us and aimed his shotgun towards the woods. Dad placed his hand over a blood stain on Alex's shirt that got bigger and bigger I looked up at dad to see his mouth moving but no sound was coming out after of couple of seconds all sound came back.

"CARL!" Dad screamed at me still keeping his hands on Alex's chest as the blood begun to cover his whole shirt.

"Dad is...is he?" I said trying to speak but couldn't due a throb that was forming in my throat as I spoke.

Before dad could response a rustling sound came from the woods from where Shane had his shotgun aimed. I turned around to check if it was a walker, person, or another deer. A heavy-set man wearing a camouflage outfit with a hat and black boots walked out with a rifle in one hand.

"Oh shit" The man said dropping the rifle while he quickly throwing his hands up looking at Shane, who had the shotgun aimed at his head. It was him he shot Alex I thought as soon as I seen the rifle.

"Shane!" Dad sudden screamed, which caused me to flinch a little, snapping his fingers and pointing towards his belt then Shane took off his belt and tossed it towards dad.

"SHIT I....I" the heavy-set man started to speak "There is farm not far from here just east there is someone who can help, I can take you there." When he finished talking, I was looking at my dad's gun then back at him narrowing my eyes. I should shoot him right between the eyes for Alex.

When Dad picked up Alex, who had Shane's belt wrapped around where he was shot, one of his daggers fell from his arm sleeve. I got up from the ground and picked up the dagger then followed behind my dad with Shane behind me.

"Hey, you move shithead!" Shane's voice boomed loudly behind me and dad. "Come on get us there!" I turned my head to look at the pair behind us just then dad stopped running and turned around slightly.

"HOW FAR!?HOW FAR!?" Dad sudden screamed at the man who didn't response fast enough. Come on you pig hurry up and answer.

"Another half mile that way, Hershel" the heavy-set man said breathless while bending over to catch his breath and pointed ahead as dad begun to pick up the pace with me behind him "Talk to Hershel, He'll help your boy" his voice started to trail as we ran further and further away.

My body ached as we ran for what felt like hours. Once we reached the edge of a high grassed field, in the distance the farm could be seen so I tried to run faster to get to there before dad but as soon I went to go my whole body felt like it was fire, then it got hard for me to breath, so I just slowed down and ran beside my dad frequently glancing at Alex I can't stop we are almost there hang on Alex you're going to be okay I promise I thought as we continue to run through the field. Once we got closer to the house an old man with 3 women and a young dude carrying a bat behind them had just burst through the door and stood on the porch which caused me to run closer to my dad.

"Was he bit?" The old man asked looking at dad and Alex as we slowed down in front of them.

"Shot" I stated breathless and quickly trying to hold back tears that threatened to fall.
