Chapter 19 Terminus part 1

"Hi." I wispered as I approached Carl.

"You saved me- I mean us." His voice cracked, "they would of killed us." He finished.

That look of pure terror in his face and the way he struggled in the mans grasp flashed into my mind.

"I'm glad I stayed back a little." I nodded.

He nodddd and I sat next to him. I relaxed my shoulders and we just stay there.

I had realized that I had fallen asleep on Carl's shoulder, and woke up leaning against the sky blue truck.

"We're heading out!" Rick announced, cupping his hands over his mouth to make it louder.

I stood up and looked around. Carl was on watch, Daryl looked like he just came back from hunting I also noticed he had a black eye from last night, and Rick was starting the truck. Where was Michonne?

Just then the truck door swung open.
"Well good morning everyone." Michonne laughed.
We all laughed together.

"It's afternoon Carl smiled."

I slung my crossbow on my shoulder and jumped in the back with Michonne and Carl.

We started to drive and we got caught in a walker herd. There were to many of them.

Daryl opened the sunroof and shot from up there, when there were less we all hoped out. We killed the rest with our supplies while Daryl retrieved his arrows.

"We better just stay on foot." Daryl mumbled as he turned looking around in the woods near the side of the road.

We started to walk. Carl handed me a water bottle with one last sip inside. I shook my head and told him to drink it.

It was a long day and we hadn't run into any houses.

We herd rustling in the woods. Then a little white dog came running out. I noticed Daryl's eyes tested up.

DARYL POV:
That's the dog I found at the front door when I was with Beth.

He was shaggy and white and was missing an eye.

I held up some of the possum I had found earlier today. He came running over, tail wagging like crazy. Munched the whole damn thing up.

"Good boy, you must have been hungry." I smiled petting his little head.

"We should name him." Amber had asked me.

"Sure, any ideas?" I asked everyone.
"Fang?" Carl suggested.
"Oh! Bullet!" Amber laughed.
"What about ammo?" Carl suggested again.
"Razor?" Amber raised and eyebrow.
"Cheese. Crazy cheese." Michonne laughed.

Everyone gave her a confused look then we all laughed.

"I'm joking." Michonne smiled.

"How about psycho? Or crack head? Or road kill!" Amber smiled again.

"Hmmm. I like roadkill." I said looking at the poor dog.

So that's when we figured it out. We decided to name him roadkill and set off again.

We kept walking until we made it to a rail road. Roadkill ran up to a medium sized sign and started to bark.

We all ran over.

"Terminus." Amber read.

"Sanctuary for all, community for all, those who arrive survive." I reading.

We followed the map to some brick building. There was fencing all around just like the prison. There was a large gate too.

We decided not to go right in, but to check the place out from far distance where no one could see us.

We left roadkill by the fence. I gave him another piece of meat to chew on.

We would come back, that's what we told him. We tied him to a fence. Not to short so he could wander off a bit. We kept him in a good spot so no walkers could find him.

We climbed the fence and looked around.

AMBER POV:
We left roadkill, we would be back later anyway. We hopped over the fence, my mind wandered as I looked around the nice little place. It seened safe here. Like we could stay here.

Then someone touched me. I gasped as the man took one of my knives, not looking in by boot.

He took my crossbow with him. He looked at us and nodded.
"You don't look like people who would kill. Except for you two but I think I can trust you." He told us pointing at Daryl and I.

He gave us back our weapons and told us to wonder off and have a look around.

Carl and I were looking around, curious indeed. We turned a corner and noticed Rick had a gun to a mans head, ready to fire.

Carl pointed and whispered.
"Hey Amber, dad has Glenn's watch."

"Your right." I whispered back.

"He must be around here then. Dead or alive we should be able to find him." Carl starred at me, then at Rick, then back at me.

I nodded.

I decided to act fast. I grabbed my crossbow from my shoulder and aimed it for the mans foot.

"What are you doing!" Carl whispered.

"Killing." I responded as I shot my crossbow.

The arrow shot the man in the foot and everything broke loose.

I started to run until a arm wrapped around me, a gun put to my head. I had noticed Carl was the same. Right to the head.

My ears were ringing.

Daryl and Rick were shouting to let us go, there gun and crossbow up. Daryl brought aimed his crossbow fast and shot the man holding Carl right in the head.

Carl tried to run until another man came and threw him to the ground and started beating him.

Rick was about to shoot until Daryl stopped him.

"There watching. They will shoot if you do." Daryl whispered holding out his hand.

Behind us we heard foot steps on the gravel. Michonne was being brought over and was standing next to Daryl and Rick.

The other man pushed Carl up and over to the others. They did the same to me.
