We Are One (Walking Dead Fanfic)

Please #4

Carl

..............

"Dad, we need Michonne, now, she has been gone a long time" I looked at my dad who was staring ahead "I know Carl but mabey she hit the jackpot or-", " or she got bitten, or eaten, or shot". "Dad we are on our own out here, we are all separated, and last time we all got separated someone didn't make it back, did they?" His eyes shot at me. He knew who I was talking about.

"We don't talk about about her" I hate the way he does that, she always comes into our conversation, when she ran into the woods that night, when the barn went up in flames, when the walkers took over. When my best friend died. Sophia turned into a walker, who says my best friend didn't turn into one as well. Into a flesh eating monster.

We are all monsters in our own way, I kill people, we all kill people. We all kill walkers, but someone didn't. She didn't, she refused. She refused to get the fact that she had to kill people to survive. She wouldn't even touch a fly. Even the friendship bracelet she gave me, I still have it, because when she gave it to me she told me that if we ever got separated, just look at the bracelet.

So every night, I stair down at my wrist, at the breeds that have our initials imprinted on them. She made them when I was in a coma after getting shot. I look at them, wondering if she is out there. Is she alive, Is she safe, Is she scared, Is she alone, Is she dead, Is she a walker. I shivered at the thought. I can't even think about it. She could be walking somewhere, have ripped open and..... No, stop. She isn't dead, she is strong. She might not kill anything but she is good at hiding, I thought her how to light fires and how to climb trees.

I remember my dad gave her a gun, she liked having it but she refused to shoot it. I remember my mom didn't let me even hold a gun but she finally gave in. The only reason why I think she is dead is because you need to kill, you are either the butcher or the cattle.

"We need to stay on the road, keep heading north, we will reach terminus, if our group see that sign, that is the first place they will go" I pictured the sign in my head.

'Sanctuary for all
Community for all
Those who arrive
Survive'

....................

That's the sign, right infront of us. "1 more mile" I whispered to myself, a grin spread across my face. My dad wrapped his arm around my shoulders "we will make it Carl" I looked up at him 'yeah, we are going to make it'.

We began to walk again, faster and faster, we need to get there, Michonne will go there when she comes back, because that's the place we where planning to go for weeks.

"Dad, you you think everyone else will be there?" I asked, hoping for a positive awnser "yeah Carl, hop-" he was disturbed by Michonne walking out of the trees. We aimed our guns but lowered them again.

"Good you're back" I ran up and hugged her, she hugged back, "I got you water" she pulled the plastic bottle out of her bag and handed it to me "thanks I'm parched" I opened the lid and drank the remaining clear fluid. So refreshing.

"I walked past terminus" my dads attention grew "did you see anything?" He asked and she shuck her head, "no, but we still need to take precautions, mabey bury the weapons in the forest so if worst comes to worst we still have defence" I nodded "I'm in" I said closing the empty bottle "OK".

Michonne placed her sword in the bag, I placed one of my guns in and kept the other in my jeans. "Ok, we all go in, ask questions, see if it is good for us, ask them about Glenn, Maggie and Daryl, see if they came yet OK?" We both nodded. Please tell me everything will go well.
