Light Turning Dark✖️Carl Grimes

[12] Good 'ol times

Kaylee's pov

"how much longer do we have to walk?" Carl asked, for like the millionth time.

"Not too much longer Carl" Lori replied. I stages my feet as we continued to walk. We were soon stopped when a constant sound of a bell went off.

"Someone's got to be ringing it" Shane said.

"Maybe they're ringing it" I suggested.

"We gotta go stop whoever it is. They're attracting walkers" Rick informed us. We all took off running in the direction of the sound. We soon came across a church. Shane, Rick and Daryl went up to it and opened the door. I stood behind them but watched as three walkers stood up from the isles. They quickly took them down and I noticed Glenn walk around to the side of the church.

Me and everyone else followed.

"It's on a timer" he told us, ripping it off the wall of the church, making the ringing stop. I sighed and sat down on the step.

"I wanna come too" I said to Rick, Shane and Carl, "if he's coming so am I"

"I think you'll be better off here" Shane said.

"I want to look for them too, I can help. I'm. It useless" I informed them. Glenn came up behind me.

"I believe that she can help, she's strong and willing to go out and help. Can't you just let her go?" He placed his hands on my shoulders, I looked up at him and smiled.

"Fine," Rick sighed, "let's go"

"Be careful though" Glenn said to me before we walked away. I turned to him and nodded "I will"

We walked off into the woods and everyone else started heading back to the highway.

"Just stick by us.... I don't want to be the one to tell your parents that you're gone or dead" Rick said to me, making me look at him.

"You wouldn't have to, they're gone" I told them, looking down at my feet as we continued to walk.

"What do you mean? I thought you said you never saw them get killed" Carl asked.

"I saw their car on the highway... They left without me and Quinn, they left us to die" I said, anger growing in my voice.

"I-I'm sorry about that" Rick said.

"It's fine, nothing big" I sighed. We continued to walk, getting deeper into the woods.

We stopped when we heard a rustle in the leaves. We walked around some trees and noticed a deer.

"Carl, look" I whispered. He looked in the direction of the deer and his eyes lit up, just like mine. We slowly inched towards it, and it didn't even notice us.

We got so close that we could touch it. There was a faint noise that I could barley hear but the Deers head shot up and looked around slightly. That's when it happened. The unexpected happened.

Bang

A gun shot went off, going right through the deer and into Carl. I watched as his limp body fell to the forests ground. I stood in sick of what just happened.

"CARL?!" Rick ran over and picked Carl up into his arms. A man came out of the bushes and my jaw dropped.

"YOU DID THIS" Shane yelled at him.

"THIS IS-"

"Otis?" I questioned. That's when everything clicked in, I knew where we were and I knew that Hershel, a doctor, could help Carl.

"You know this man?" Shane asked, anger, hatred and worry in his voice.

"This way, Hershel, he'll help Carl" without hesitation Rick followed me. Shane made sure that Otis was following us.

"This way" I said again. Now we were at the edge of the field, running closer to the house. Shane and Otis were falling behind but me and Rick were running as fast as we could to Hershel's house.

When we got not too far away Hershel, Patricia, Maggie, Beth and Jimmy all ran out.

"Was he bit?" Hershel asked.

"Shot, by your man" Rick answered.

"Otis?" Patricia questioned.

"Come on inside" Hershel said quickly. We followed him into his Josie and into another room.

"Set him down there" Hershel said. Maggie pushed pass me and turned to me after she did.

"Kaylee?" She said before Hershel got her attention to help Carl again. Hershel, Maggie, Beth, they were all like our second family. Out grandpa was friends with Hershel and he would always bring us here to see Maggie and Beth.

Maggie and I were really close. Closer than you would expect us to be.

*flashback*
(Third person pov)

10 year old Beth, 16 year old Maggie and 6 year old Quinn and Kaylee were running around the yard of the big beautiful country house.

"You can't catch me" little Quinn yells as Beth chases her around the yard.

"How about you play with your sister" Maggie says to Kaylee, who was sitting next to Maggie, Maggie just wanted some alone time so she could talk to her boyfriend.

"But I wanna play with you" Kaylee explains with her big smile. Maggie groaned and looked up to Quinn and Beth who were laughing as they ran around.

"Fine, you're it" with that Maggie got up and ran around the yard with little Kaylee chasing after her. These were some of the happier times for these 4. Kaylee and Maggie always knew that they were close, but this day they got even closer.

*flashback over*

"Please save him" Rick said, snapping me back to attention. I backed away as they began to do work on Carl. Although I knew Hershel was great at this, I still worried.

"Kaylee?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around slowly and was met with someone that I honestly never thought I would see again.

"Luca?!" I engulfed him in a hug and he hugged back. He rested his chin on my head and I silently cried.

"I have something to show you" he said.
