burning love

Chapter 2- New people

We started walking through the woods an hour ago and it's starting to get dark. I walked behind everybody else, Carl would occasionally slow down to ask me questions and some of them I would answer while others were to sensitive to talk. Then it would become an awkward silence and he would speed up to walk beside his mom. Carl started to complain when it was pitch black out side, he would complain that he was tired or hungry and scared. Ed started to get impatient with Carl. I learned that when dad gets mad just to stay away. "Would you please shut that damn boy up woman!!!!!" Daddy screamed at Lori. Lori must have thought she was somebody cause she walked right up to dad and got his face and screamed. " WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM MAN HUH. YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. MY BOY IS HUNGRY AND TIRED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR DEAL IS, YOU YELL AT YOUR WIFE AND KIDS AS IF THEY ARE THE MOST UN WANTED PEOPLE EVER. A WHILE BACK AGO YOU SAT AND ATE IN FRONT OF THEM. YOU GIVE THEM THIS DISGUSTED------" Lori was cut off with my dad's hand silencing her as he smacked her. She looked up at him shocked and scared at his actions. Shane turned around with a look of rage in his eyes and charged at daddy punching him in the face and yelling at him. " Don't you ever put your hands on Lori Carl or anybody else in this group ever again do you understand me or next time I will punch more then once." He stopped only, because my mother was crying with her hand over mouth, knowing that later she have suffer the beating for not sopping Shane. Sofia clutched to Carl scared and Lori was crying while Shane held her in his chest, my mother was on her knees trying to examine his bruise as much as possible in the dark. I stood their sunned that somebody stood up to dad. I tried once when I was 15 I finally thought I was big enough, only to be hit in the back of the head and woke up to being shoved in the chest, that my dad said was the punishing chest. I could hear my mom pleading to let me out that I would pass out again from lack of oxygen. That conversation ended to my dad beating my mom and sending her up to the room to deal with her later. The sound of a pitter patter from an old RV intercepted my thoughts.  looked up to see the headlights of an RV in front of me out stepped an old man that looked to be in his fifties. He looked around at the scene, we all gathered our selves and walked up to him. " um hi". He started awkwardly, " My names Dale that is Andrea, Amy, T-dog, Jim, and Glenn." He stated pointing to each of them. "This is Lori, Carl, Bella, Ed, Carol, Sofia and i'm Shane." Shane stated to Dale. " so, where you all headed too." Dale asked. "We are headed up to and old camp place up in the mountains, its right off of DD and you can see the whole city of Atlanta up there." "Well so are we why don't you guys tag along, its probably safer and warmer in the RV. Their is plenty of room. I insist." Dale practically begged. We all loaded in the RV and drove the short ways there.

A/N:
Just so there is no confusion Bella's dad is Ed carols husband and Sofia's dad. Bella calls him dad daddy or Ed, but mostly dad.
