Till I Die (TWD/Carl Grimes)

Chapter 17: A Shot. A Scar

Five days since I left the group. I saw Daryl well I was up in a tree, he saw me and we talked. About how the group is taking it. How Carl was. Me and Daryl walked around and found a prison. "Bring the group here" I smiled. "Maxie come back" he said. "Can't." Daryl sighed and kissed my forehead making me smile. "Then stay close. I'll check on you everyday." Daryl said in a parental tone. "Yeah I know" he left and a felt a slight smile creep on my face well I watched from a tall pine tree has the group took down walkers. Daryl turned and saw me and I gave a light wave. After a few more days of that I made the pine tree my camp. The branches were close together so I could lay on them and the prickles of the pins tree were all on the end or I cut them off. And I had perfect view of the prison. I couldn't bring myself to leave the group completely so I thought being a ghost like this I could keep an eye on everything. I'm a ninja! I smiled at my childless.

After a few days I watched Carl run away from Rick and slummed to the ground. I walker came at him and I panicked. I raise my crossbow and took perfect aim and took down the walker. Everyone seemed shocked and scared if that. Shit. Stupid idea! Rick was there! He could of helped Carl.
I flopped on my stomach which really hurt because of the bark of the tree.

Everyone panicked and looked around. I peeked up and saw Daryl come out of the forest after hunting I'm guessing. I licked my lips well looking at the squirrels tied to his belt. Yes it sounds gross but I haven't eaten in two days and squirrel is something Daryl made me like.
Daryl, by the looks of it, was telling them it was his arrow. I smiled, I'm glad I made him trust me not to give me away.

~ that night ~

The air was getting cold and it could very well snow over night, I shifted the branches above my head to make a safe little roof to keep the snow off me if it does snow. I put of a pair on leggings and still slid on my sweats to keep warm and also but on a long sleeve shirt, a T-shirt and also my sweat shirt hoodie and Daryl's vest. I looked like a fat person I bet. I could barely move my body with all the layers.

~ Dream ~

"You need the group" Autumn, my older sister by Five years, spoke.
"No. I'm doing fine on my own"
"You need them and they need you" she raised her voice a bit.
"I'm fine on my own! You wouldn't know that because you left me with an abusive rapist!" I snapped. She gasped and came closer so I could see her. Her dirty blonde hair was curly and long, she had a blue tank top on and blue jeans and colourful DC high tops on.
She walked over and held my face well I cried a bit. "Where are you?" I sobbed. "Better place right now. You need to be in that prison with them. With your love and best friend and even that redneck and quiet lady", meaning Carl, Soph, Daryl and Carol.

~ end of dream ~

I woke up with shivers going down my spine. My hair had light snow on it and my body felt sore and stiff, mostly my should though. Which was weird, then I remembered. I was shot by Shane. I looked at my sweater and noticed I must have ripped open my stitches.
