3 Days Later

Tom's POV

We've been in the woods for 3 days now, we're looking for some place to hold up for awhile, where as Abraham is just thinking about 'the mission' watching out for transport. We're beginning to run low on food and water, we need to find someth-

"Tom!"

"Hey Carl"

"Here"

He handed me 1 of the 2 paper plates he was holding and sat down next to me, resting his back against the tree. I looked down at the plate of scarce meat

"Squirrel again?"

He was already stuffing his face "Mmmm? Yeah" He replied with a full mouth

"Oh isn't that just charming, try and chew with your mouth closed, please"

"Did you say chew with my mouth open? Okay" his voice muffled by the food

"Ok, that's disgusting" I turned away, He got closer to me, mouth still chewing, loudly. "Fuck offff" I nudge him slightly, he finally closes his mouth and smiles, I can't help but smile too

Carl and I have become good friends in the past few days, I think it's because we're the only teenagers in the group. I've also gotten on well with Tyrese, Sasha, Bob and Maggie.

"You two done? We're moving on in 5" I heard Rick call from the camp

30 Minutes Later

A branch snaps, everyone raises their weapons. Daryl emerges from the shrubbery, holding squirrels in his left hand "We surrender" everybody lowers their weapons and we begin walking again

Rick and Daryl appear to be having a discussion but I can't make out what they're saying

I hope my dad is proud of me, I found people, good people, I'm better with them, than being alone

"Tom, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks Carl"

I must have spaced out

"Help! Help, anybody! Help!"

We stopped

"Dad, come on. come on! Come on!"

Rick gave a nod and we all started running, towards the screams

"Help! Help! Anybody! Help me! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!"

The man was perched on top of a massive boulder, with half a dozen walkers surrounding it

Carl took out the first one, shooting it in the head, Rick got the second, Michonne the third, Carol fourth and Daryl the fifth

"We're clear. Keep watch" Rick looked up to the-

Priest?

"Come on down" the Priest reluctantly jumped down and vomited

"Sorry, yes, thank you. Im Gabriel"
