Ava's P. O. V

"There ya go boy" I say to the horse as I take the reins off him and let him go back into his stable "where the hell have ya been?" I heard the angry voice of my husband from behind me as he stomped towards me "didn't Rick tell ya?" I ask him "what? No that Randall kid got loose him and Shane are out there looking for him" I rise an eyebrow at him "how'd ya know that then?" I bit back at him "Uh I'm just gonna go inside" I heard Maggie say as she quickly walked passed us "so ya took the farmer's daughter?!, jeez hun, she don't know anything bout walkers or how to kill em" he yells at me "hey! Don't yell at me, Maggie was fine I taught her a few things OK, besides I wouldn't let anything happen to her, enough bout me, what did Hunter say? Did he even talk to ya bout what happened with Carl earlier?" I said changing the subject "not here, and I don't know how ya gonna react so let's go to our tent, Hunter is waiting in there for us" "k" I said as he took my hand in his and walked me out towards our tent we were just bout to go inside when we heard Glenn "Daryl! you gotta come with me, to help find Randall your the only one who can track" he said as he stopped by us Daryl let out a frustrated huff "it's OK Dare, go, we will talk bout this later, k" I tell him, he nodded at me "dad? Where are ya going?" Hunter asked as he came out of the tent "it's OK Hunt, I gotta help Rick find" Hunter cut him off "da bad man?" "Yea buddy, I'll be back soon k, but I want you to talk to ya mom" Hunter looked worried when he said that which made me pull my eyebrows together in confusion "o-ok" daryl placed his hand on Hunters shoulder "just tell her what ya told me k" Daryl then stood up gave me a quick kiss "be safe" I tell him "always" he replied before going off with Glenn.

"So Hunter, ya gonna tell me?" I ask my son as we sat down in the tent, he sighed before looking up at me "mom, promise ya won't get mad?" "I can't promise that Hunt, why what did ya do?, just say it, I promise I won't get too mad" Hunter started playing with his fingers so I tool his little hand in mine "me an Carl well we ah" he paused so I encouraged him "you and Carl what?" "Ya gonna get so mad at me though mom" I sighed "Hunter please just tell me I" "that day when Dale died, me and Carl were out in the woods" "was there anyone with ya 2?" Now I was starting to get worried "no, it was just me and Carl, an we found dis walker that was stuck in some mud, and we ah we started biffin rocks at it, it" I couldn't help it I cut him off "are ya being serious right now Hunter Ryan Dixon!" I growled out which made him look down but replied with a low "y-yas mom" I took a deep breath "carry on" "it couldn't get to us though mom, me an Carl were gonna shoot it" "shoot it?! With what?" "I um I took one of dad's gun's that he had in his bike" I shook my head "but for some reason we couldn't, but we heard Lori calling for us, so we left it there and ran back here" I took a deep calming breath I couldn't get to bad at him, I wanted the truth and he just gave it to me "well... For starters ya shouldn't have gone into those woods alone, second, ya two should have left that walker alone ya know they're dangerous Hunt, and da both of ya should have came straight back here and told Rick or ya dad they could have sorted it out, thirdly, you shouldn't have taken ya dad's gun, or anyone's gun or weapon for that matter, and before ya ask no I'm not mad at ya Hunter, I'm disappointed in ya, how?, no why? Why would ya be so careless? What if there was another walker? Ya an Carl could have got seriously hurt Hunter!" I slightly raised my voice towards the end of my rant, and he looked back down "Hunter, son" I breathed out lifting his face upwards so he could see me, he had guilt all over his face "what did any of that have to do with Dale?" That made tears stream down his cheeks "Hunt?" I say as I pull him into me for a hug "baby don't cry, it's OK" I hushed him he got angry at that and pushed me away "cause that walker that killed Dale was the one me and Carl were biffin stones at, it must've got out of the mud and followed us back here then it got Dale! It's all our fault dat, d-dat Dale died, he was such a nice man mom a-and we killed him!" Hunter shouted at me I pulled him into a hug again but tightly this time "it wasn't ya fault baby, wasn't Carl's either, don't blame ya self ya hear me" he just cried some more "I'm sorry mom" I held my tears back I had to be strong for my boy. After 20 minutes of Hunter crying he fell asleep on me, but I moved him off me and onto the '''bed''' 'my poor boy' I thought to myself 'wonder if Rick or Lori know bout dis' I brushed some of Hunters hair out of the way giving him a quick kiss on his forehead I got up and out of the tent zipping it up I sat there and pulled my cigarettes out of my pocket and quickly lit it up. 'Wow, it's gotten dark quickly' I think as I exhale my smoke, next thing I see is Daryl and Glenn walking back to the house without Randall I was so tempted to go see what the hap was, but I wasn't gonna leave my boy alone not in the state he was just in that's for sure, after 5 or maybe 10 minutes since I saw Daryl and Glenn go inside the house I heard a single gun shot that made me stand up 'that can't be good' I think "mom!" I heard Hunter shout as he opened the tent zipper "I'm here son" I say as he clung to me "let's go" I say as I pick him up and start running towards the house when I got there the others were on the porch "dad" Hunter said as he got out of my arms and into Daryl's "Rick is still out there with Shane can you go look for them?" I heard Lori ask Daryl, he nodded and passed Hunter back over to me "sure" was his quick reply I quickly hugged him before he jumped over the porch rail Hunter was between us "please be careful" I tell him as I press a kiss on his lips "come back for us dad" Hunter also said while putting his small hands around Daryl's waist "don't worry I will" and with that he grabbed his crossbow jumped over the rail and went back in towards the woods where we heard the gun shot.
