Shoot Or Run

|Lost Hope| Chapter Twenty|

I stood next to Lori as sh handed me some heated up water
I took a sip and walked off with Carl.
Daryl had come back with bloddy fists from punching Randal.
I looked to Carl and nodded. we needed to find out what was going on. We went to Shane "So he's a kid?" He asked him
"No. look just let us handle this" He said and walked to the thing they where keeping him in
I looked to Carl and ran to the back of the small house thing and climbed it going inside and sitting on the stool looking down at Randal "Hey. sorry for shooting your little lady friend" Randal said finally seeing us
"That's a sweet hat." He said seeing the hat on Carl's head
"I'm Randal, what's your guy's names?" He asked us
"Shiriff guy he your dad little guy Red head she your mom little girl? they're good people I can tell. your mom and dad out here too?" He asked us again. I wasn't answering nither was Carl
"Your lucky you still got your family. I lost mine."
Randal kept talking so Carl put the hat on my head and climbed down me following after him
I stood next to Carl if mnot behind him the door opened making me jump "The hell you doing in here?" Shane asked
Shane grabbed us and said "Get your asses out of here"
I ran off to the tree near them but ten feet away from them
when he was next to me he grabbed my hand and walked off with me.
he took me near the barn and stood there rolling empty bullet shells under his feet until Lori walked over
"Baby! You seen your daddy?" She asked
"Up there." He said pointing to the barn
I sighed and walked awat heading to the graves and sat in front of Sophia's before Carl came over and sat next to me
"You know we'll see Sophia again in haven someday." Carol said out of no where
"She's in a better place." She added looking at us
"No she's not. Haven is just another lie. and if you believe it your an Idiot!" Carl spat and ran off
"Carl!" I yelled and ran after him
we walked by some trees
"Carl!" Rick yelled after him "Oh boy." I said and stopped walked
"Come over here" Rick said
Carl did as he was told and grabbed my hand tightly
"Did you talk back to Carol?" Rick asked him I gave Carl a look to tell him to tell Rick the truth
"No" He answered
"She say's you did. You can't talk back to people like that." He said
"I said it's stupid to believe in Haven 'Cause it is." he said
"Well just think about that a minute she just lost her daughter she want's to believe she's still alive in some way"
Rick said I rested my chin on Carl's shoulder listening to them
I looked down slightly and stood up strait and felt Carl fix the hat on my head so It was strait.
Carl lead me to Daryl's little hide out I looked up at a string with dead squirrels and rabbits on it plus the walker ears
Carl reached into the side bag of the motorcycle and took two guns out. he handed me the revolver while he held the pistol
we walked into the woods as I took the hat off and put it on his head
I heard moans fro a walker and looked down to the mud seeing a walker stuck in the mud.
I stood a few feet away and looked at Carl seeing him pick up a rock and throw it at the walker hitting it's shoulder
"Are you crazy!?" I whisper yelled at him he rolled his eyes and whispered "It's stuck its not going to hurt us"
I looked down slightly seeing him do it again.
I picked up a stick and threw it at the walker hitting its neck
He ran to the other side of the water and took his gun out "Carl no."I scolded until the walker came loose "Carl!" I yelled running over trying to help him up we got up and ran off from the walker holding our guns tight in our hands
We got back to the group and saw Ginger and Lori come over "We want you two to stay with Jimmy."
"But we wanna listen" I said
"No not this time" Ginger said and gave us a light push up the stairs
I could hear Dale yelling down stairs not agreeing with the rest of the group
while Carl and Jimmy talked I sneaked down stairs and heard them talking "Is there aanyone else who will stand with me?" Dale asked "I will. We can't kill him.I belive he won't go out there and tell them. I think he really want's to help" I said and walked over to Dale standing next to him
"They're both right. we should try to find another way." Andrea said
"Anybody else?" Rick asked
"Are you all going to watch too? Or are you going to hide your heads in your tents and try to forget we're slaughtering a human being?" I asked Dale walked over to Daryl and rested his hand on his shoulder "This group is broken." He said and walked out of the house
==================
Ginger's POV
===========
We walked Randal to the barn and opened the doors looking around seeing hay all over the place
I blind folded him and looked at rick
"Would you like to stand or kneel?" Rick asked him
"Have final words?" I asked him. I knew Ever-Greene was against it but I was protecting my daughter the best I could
Rick held up his gun and pulled the safety off.
=================
Ever-Greene's POV
==============
I looked into the barn next to Carl "Do it. Do it Rick"
I said coldly glaring at him. I changed my mind We didn't know him. we couldn't trust him
Shane grabbed us and dragged us out of the barn
they took Randal out while Rick and Ginger stayed looking at us
we walked back to camp the four of us
I went to my Tent while Ginger went with Dale earlier
===================
Ginger's POV
=====
I stood next to Dale seeing the cow was torn apart. We turned around seeing two walkers.
they tackled us to the ground and tried to eat us. I felt the one on top of me sink its teeth into my skin and pull away with flesh in it. we screamed for help as loud as me could
The walker on top of Dale tear into his stomach I screamed feeling the walker bite into my neck
Daryl ran over and killed the walkers.
I looked around as the group came over Lori kneeled over me and looked down at me "Where's Ever-Greene?" I asked
============
Ever-Greene's POV
===================
I ran to the group since I was a little slower I couldn't keep up. I looked to the group seeing Dale and Ginger on the ground I looked to Ginger and fell down crawling over to her "Mom." I Whimpered feeling tears stream down my cheeks.
" live by these rules shoot or run understand?" She asked handing me a gun i nodded taking the weapon in my hands "Be safe and never loose hope." she said again I nodded feeling her head move in my lap I felt tears stream down my cheeks again and pulled the trigger so she wouldn't turn. Carl came over and hugged me tightly I cried into his shoulder
All I needed right now was him
Daryl took the gun from Daryl and shot him in the head
I lost hope even though she said not to
