Walkers || Carl Grimes

42

I held in my breath as the savior got closer and closer to us.

Carl squeezed my hand and backed up more against the tree.

He stops right next to us but still doesn't seem to see us.

I let go of Carl hand and take a quiet but deep breath.

Carl grabs my hand again but I shake it away.

He gives me a questioning look and I nod, telling him it's okay.

I turn back around step foreword.

When the savior turned around, before he could say anything I punched him square in the face.

Hard.

He fell to the ground and the saviors turned around.

"What the fuck?!" One of them yelled.

Carl grabbed my hand and yelled "run!" Before taking off with me.

We sprinted through the woods.

Carl gasps and turns a sharp turn, catching me by surprise.

He runs the other way and stops quickly.

"Get in" he points to a tree, well, half a tree.

"Carl-"

"Trust me, Enid and I were here to avoid walkers." He pushed me in and slid in after me.

Our bodies press against each other as we take deep breaths.

The footsteps fade away and we look at each other.

He sighs in relief and leans his head back on the tree.

I look at him, "that was close.." I whispered.

He looks down at me again and nods.

There's a quiet silence and Carl switches his gaze to my lips.

He bites his lip and grabs me by my waist, pulling me closer.

"Carl-" he cuts me off by placing his lips on mine gently.

I close my eyes slowly and kiss him back.

When we pull away he steps out of the crack in the tree and pulls me out with him.

"Let's go.." He mutters and we walk back to Alexandria.
