I Need You and Only You (Carl Grimes FanFic/TWD) --(COMPLETED)--Editing

Chapter 1: A New Family?

Peyton's POV

I walked up to a farm and read the mailbox "Greene." I yelled to see if anyone was there, and a woman with short brown hair came out.

She looked surpised to see me there. "Hi, um... do you think I could stay here for the night?" I stared back at her. "Please I'm so tired I haven't been able to sleep for almost 3 days. I promise I'll leave once the sun comes up...." The woman just stared and turned around to go back inside. "Man, I actually thought I could get some sleep tonight and it starting to get cold." I turned and began walking and continuing my search. When someone called out to me.

"Wait!" I turned around a saw the same woman again. "Hurry get over here." I ran towards the fence and went up to her by the house. She looked down at me. I had a feeling she was going to say sorry and not let me in, so I decided to beg. I got on my knee and started crying.

"Please I beg of you! Please I have no where to go and I already lost everything I cared about. I just need to get some rest to get my system flowing again. I promise! If you have a couch I'll sleep on that even. Just please, please I'm so tired. I will leave in the morning. I promise." I sniffled, I haven't cried this hard since I lost my mother. I felt the woman pull me up to my feet and I kept my head down, blocking her from seeing me cry.

She pulled my chin up and I looked at her. She gave me a sad smile and hugged me. "You don't have to worry. As long as you help us around here, you can stay as long as you want." She pulled away from the hug and she wiped my tear away.

"Really?" I asked her. "I can stay?"

"I promise, little girl." She took me inside and I felt the warmth. She took me up to a room. "This is my room, but you can stay in here with me." I nodded. "So, may I ask what your name is and how old are you?"

I nodded again. "Well, my name is Peyton Blake and I'm 12 years old."

"Oh, wow you're just a kid. How were you by yourself out there?"

"My parents had a bunch of supplies."

"And where are they?"

"Like I said before I lost the people I care about. They're dead" I lied, my dad may still be alive somewhere.

"I'm sorry." She said sympathetic.

"Oh, before I forget what's your name?" I asked and she smiled.

"I'm Maggie, last name's Greene. Maggie Greene." I nodded.

"Is there anyone else who lives here?" I asked curious of why it looked so empty.

She nods. "Yeah. You'll meet them later. Come on, how about you help me with dinner?"

"Okay!" She giggled and I followed her to the kitchen.

4 months later

I've grown closer to the Greene family and Maggie is like a mother to me. I went up to Ma's room. I started to call Maggie something close that says 'mom', but sill somewhat had her name in it. I crawled up into the bed. It was storming today and I was terrifed.

"MA!" I called out covering my ears from the loud booms of thunder. I heard her running in.

"Pey what's wrong?"

"I'm scared. Sorry if you busy you can go back. I'll just deal with it." She smiled, and crawled into bed with me and wrapped her arms around me pulling me into a hug.

"You're a brave girl you know that Pey."

I'm really not though...

When morning finally came I went outside and watched the view from the porch. Then I saw something coming our way. Was it one of those things?
