R.I.P 2 My Youth || C.G

•Chapter Four•

I walked down the stairs of the Grimes household and out the frontdoor with Coral following. It's a very short walk, probably five minutes. I get my key from my jeans pocket going up to the door to unlock it. I walk in, "Leah!" I yell out into the house.

It's quiet for a moment before I hear heavy footsteps. Leah. Judging by her clothes she just woke up. What's wrong with her? Its like ten o'clock.

"Seriously?" I say walking past her and up the stairs. "Yes." She answered back. "Why are you here?" By then we were in our room.

"I'm getting my katana."

"Oh no, what's happening?"

"Nothing's happening yet. But I have the bad feeling. And it's worse than when my parents died. Right now it's like a nine of ten." I answer.

"Just be alert today." I say.

"Okay. Where do I go if something the bad thing happens?"

"Find me or Carl. Always find one of us. Or stay in the OCHS."

"Okay. I'll go change right now then."

I went over to the closet opening the door with the passcode. My birthday; even in the end of the world I use my birthday. It's November First, 1998. I walk into the closet and go to the back. It's not big but it's big enough to fit at least four people.

I find my katana in the left corner. I put the sash over my right shoulder and under my left arm. I grab a few books and put them in my rucksack along with some hair ties and clips.

"Let's go to the lake?" I ask Carl walking out of the closet seeing as he was laying on my bed.

"Sure. We can stay there all day if you like. Judith is with Carol today." He said a small smile on his lips.

"Okay, great!" I walk out of the room back down the steps putting my rucksack on. I walk out the door going down a different street to the lake. I finally arrive; taking off my rucksack and katana laying them down in front of me. I sat down: knees to my chest looking out at the water.

Carl came and sat right next to me: closer to the water though. We sat there in silence for probably a half hour. I laid down looking up at the sky. I started naming the clouds. "Dragon.."

"Turtle..."

"What are you doing?"

"Naming what the clouds are shaped as." I stated clearly.

"Two people holding hands." He took my hand in his. I started blushing like mad.

"An airplane."

I look over to see him laying down next to me looking up also. "A bunny."

The moans and groans of the walkers sounded like they were getting louder so we got up to walk around. "There must be a lot out there if you can hear them from here." Carl said. "Yeah. Its scary. Plus the fact I know someone I care for deeply is going to get hurt."

We were almost to the 'construction cite' when we heard creaking. It was coming from the watch tower. Me and Carl looked at each other then to Rick and back to the tower. We watched it collapse. I took my katana out of its sheath and held it up in front of me. I was ready to kill as many walkers as physically possible.
