Chapter 6:
"Skyler!" Someone shouts. I look up and see Rick with his gun still pointed at the man who is now dead on the ground. It was Carl he kneels near me with extreme concern on his face.
"You're bleeding!" He says.
"Yea he cut me." I say holding my arm.
"No your head!" Carl grabs a towel and holds it to my forehead where I was originally struck.
The cut on my arm isn't deep it's not bleeding too heavily, so I clean it and wrap a bandage on it. The cut above my eyebrow stops bleeding and I leave it be.
We close off my room and I move into Enid's room, which she is less the thrilled about. But the feeling is mutual. I sit on a cot on the floor. Today has been... interesting.
"Next time you sneak out to go see Carl you shouldn't leave your window open." Enid sneers.
"I could have died and that's all you focus on?" I say reapplying my ice pack to my forehead.
Enid rolls her eyes and returns to her book.
Carl opens the door,
"Skyler you got a moment?" He asks poking his head in the room.
"Yeah." I say getting up.
He pulls me into his room.
"I don't trust Enid around you anymore."
"Me neither." I agree.
"Are you sure you can handle her?" He asks
"Yeah." I lie
"Well my dad game me an extra handgun for you in case you get stuck or attacked. But hide it from Enid so she doesn't steal it."
"Thanks Carl good thinking." I take the gun and turn it over in my hand.
"Oh here you're gonna need this." He hands me an empty holster for said gun.
I smile and hug him before I put it on. I pull my shirt over it and you can barley tell I am wearing it. I exit Carl's room and slip back into Enid and my room before anyone sees me.
Enid isn't in the room anymore so I enjoy some quite time with my thoughts. I get up to see what's going on with everyone else. I see Carl and Enid talking quietly in Carl's room, I can't hear what they're saying I look through the crack of the door. Suddenly Enid kisses Carl! I cover my mouth with my hand to hide a gasp. And back up against a wall
"What?" Ron asks as he passes me in the hall. He sees Carl and Enid break apart and he looks more angry then upset.
He turns to me
"Did you know about this?" He fumes
"N-no." I stutter.
I go back to my room not sure what to think. I need some fresh air. I open the door and lean out. I breath in and out... But I hear lots of noises... I hear crunchy of leaves and moaning. I squint my eyes and begin to see the outlines of people walking together in a big group? No...no those aren't people!
(Sorry for the irregular posts I'll try to make a more regular schedule soon)
