Apocalyptic Love

Chapter Three - Tigerlily

(CARL'S POV)

Im walking through the dark, confused and slightly light headed. Who is this girl, and where is she. Also how did she know my dad's gun
Unless it was hers, however it cant be. When i was 14, my dad found that gun back in Georgia, buried in a walker.

I know i shouldnt care but i do, im worried. What if shes hurt.
She kind of reminds me of Tigerlily, she was a character in Peter Pan

My mom use to read me peter pan when i was little, it was the only book that always sent me on an adventure.
This girl feels like an adventure

Hold on why im i even saying this, i dont know her. I dont wanna know her. She just knocked me out cold with her gun.

If my dad knew, he would kill her.
Im nothing like my dad, however i can kill and i can hunt.
I do love my dad, its just this world has changed him, ever since i shot my mum dead.

     "CARRLLLLL!"

Its her voice, she needs me. I start running. I can hear several gun shots. Im lost.
Okay carl calm down, remember what Michonne said "follow the loud noise"

"BANG"

I found her
I can see her running in the distance through the trees, followed by a herd of walkers.

I start to run, whilst loading my weapon.

shes vanishes into the trees.

Where is she? she cant of gotten that far.
I cant shout her name, because i would alarm alot of angry walkers.

I start walking faster towards the herd, so i could kill them.
I should be alright with the weapon.

I go to shoot
*empty
Great....the bitch took my ammo.

Suddenly a hand pops through the tree, pulling me through the hidden cove inside the tree.

Its emily.
Our bodys are pressed against each other.
Her eyes  meet with mine, she gives me a smile whilst staring right through my eyes.
Carl- "What..are you doi.."
Emily- "Shush"
She puts her hand over my mouth.
Weirdly she smells nice, 6 years ago the apocalyspe began and this girl manages to smell nice and look beautiful.

damm what im i doing, carl your 17
Relax.
She has these green eyes, the cutest. She seems stubborn, i think she can be trusted. Why do i feel like i know her.

She kind of reminds me of daryl, stubborn but fully loaded with weapons.
However shes different.

(EMILYS POV)

Should i take my hand off his mouth? Im standing here shivering, from the cold death air.

He takes my hand off his mouth, and he whispers.

Carl- "Come with me, i have a group, where a family, we will protect you"

Should i? I mean i could probably survive longer with a group, the last thing i ate was half a strawberry. I havent had water either.

Carl- "we have food, water, we have weapons"

Is he inside my mind or something.

Theres something about carl that makes me feel happy inside. Maybe its the fact that hes around my age, meaning that there is someone who would finally understand me. Or maybe its something i dont understand yet.

He has kind of short, dark brown hair and really bright blue eyes, added with alittle green.

Maybe i should stick with him for awhile.

Think about it, should be nice to be with a group.

(CARL POV)

I dont know why i just asked her to join, maybe it was her smile that changed me.

I get the feeling that my heart would sank if she declined because i dont really wanna go back without her.

I would never stop thinking about her
Her tigerlily styled red hair, her big smile, even her green eyes.

Im completely lost in them eyes.

Fucksake Carl, you hardly know the girl, yet your completely besotted with her.

she probably doesnt even feel the same way.

(EMILYS POV)

Kiss him!Kiss him!Kiss him! Emily. Goddamit.
Wait hold on dont.
Say something, cause its about to get awkward.

Emily- "Will you protect me..."

Great thanks, your officially a girl.
Hes probably busy.
Here you are emily, completely locked under a spell.
Your officially bewitched by this young boy.
Your mom would be so proud!

Carl gives me a smile, i think he might of gone red.

Carl- "........I promise"

(CARLS POV)

I think my question might of been answered

Finished ❤️
