Me and Carl are sat doing work after a long day of helping around the farm, we was doing math problems which suck "uhm aunty Lori" I say breaking the silence "yes honey" "h-how do I do this?" I ask quietly, she looks at my page analysing the questions "oh you"- and before she could finish her sentence Andrea comes running towards us all.

"What's wrong?" Rick asks curiously "Randall's missing" Andrea says out of breath, I just look at Daryl in concern and fear "it's okey" he wispers to me. "Missing? How?" Rick goes on "how long she been gone for?".

"It's hard to say" Andrea says in a concern face "the cuffs are still hooked. He must've slipped 'em" Daryl says inspecting the barn "is that possible?" Andrea asks. "It is if you've got nothing to loose".

Minutes go by and Shane comes running out the woods "Rick! Rick!" He yells in a panic "what happened?" Rick answered "he's armed! He's got my gun!" I just looked at him and I could tell he was lying, he ain't telling the whole truth "are you okey?" Rick asks in concern "I'm fine. Little bastard just snuck up on me. He clocked me in the face", as he said that I giggled and everyone looked at me, Daryl nudged me and gave me a stern look telling me to stop.

"All right Hershel, t-dog, get everyone in the house, protect Carl and Ava. Glenn Daryl coke with us." Rick had ordered each person and they did as there told, I started walking up to the house but someone stopped me "Ava stay in the house and stay by Lori I will come back" he says clearly I nod "okey.....promise?" He looks at me for a while them nods and nudges me towards the house.

We have been in the house for a good 30 minutes, Lori had sent me and Carl upstairs in a room safe we have just been playing card games "noo your cheating" Carl says in an annoyed voice "no I'm not I'm just better than you" I tease. Carl then suddenly stands up walking towards the door to leave the room.

"Uhm where are you going?" I ask "to find dad...you coming?" I stray silent for a while "we ain't aloud are we?" Carl shrugs his shoulders "it won't be bad if I'm going to my dad come on" I hesitate for a whole but then I decide to go.

We get down to the field and I can see my dad on the floor and Rick all bloodied up "w-what happened" I say in fear "dad?" Carl says in confusion "Carl....ava..." he says in response, suddenly Shane stands up behind Rick and starts walking towards him but only it isn't dad it's a walker, I put my hand over my mouth trying to keep my tears in.

Carl raises his gun at Shane "son put the fun down" "it ain't what it seems please".

"I can't find Ava or Carl" Lori says in a panic "w-what where is she!? Where is she!" Daryl says in a panic clearly in fear "I'm going after them".

[avas pov]

Bang! Carl shot Shane. I run over to him and kneel and put my hands on his face "dad? Dad please!" I cry "dad you don't get to die you have a daughter!" I yell "wake up you peice of shit! WAKE UP!" I cry harder knowing my dad is dead and I think maybe if had been alive a little longer he would have been a better father. Rick pulls me away into a car and we end up driving off sea from the farm and the burning barn "what about the others?" Carl asks.

—————-$————

It has been minutes and we are sat at the highway waiting for everyone, I was just sat at the end of the car with my head in my knees, then a bike sound was close I knew who it was.....it was Daryl. I jumped off the end of the car and ran to him with tears in my eyes "Daryl!" I yell, he pulls me into a bear hug "oh thank god....you okey?" He says in relief "yeah".

"Where's the rest of us?" Rick asks "we're the only ones who made it so far" I just sit in Daryl's arms wiping tears from my small red cheeks "Shane? Andrea?" I look down at the mention of my dad's name, the thought of him gone still hasn't processed in my mind.

"We gonna head east, stay off the main roads" Rick orders. "The bigger the roads the bigger the herd" daryl states.

We all load up in the cars, I'm sitting with Glenn and Maggie as Daryl is on a bike and he won't let me on it with him, I lay down on Glenn's legs with my legs on Maggie falling asleep Glenn starts ruffling my hair it helps me sleep.
