Who I Used to Be

Chapter Four: Back at Camp

The car alarm continued to echo as I drove the car through the hills back to camp. Though I really honestly couldn't care at the moment. Just twenty minutes ago I was trapped in a department store with a hoard of zombies trying to break in the front door and eat us alive.

My joy was cut short as I drove up into camp parking a few feet behind Dales RV. Now that's not what cut my mood short, what cut my joyful mood short was Shane marching towards us in his royal blue button-down shirt. Why would you need a button down in the Apocalypse? hell if I knew, but there he was first three buttons undone exposing some chest hair, and his sleeves rolled up. Now that didn't make him intimidating it actually made we want to laugh that he was wearing a dress shirt in 90 degree weather. What made him intimidating was his muscular frame and the shotgun placed in his left hand.

"This isn't going to end well," Glenn murmured. I nodded in agreement letting out a sigh before exiting the vehicle.
"Are you out of your damn mind!?" Shane exclaimed angrily his jaw clenched," Turn that shit off!"
"We.... we don't know how," Glenn muttered helplessly scratching the back of his neck. I frowned and nodded confirming Glenn's response.

"Alright well pop the hood then!" Shane ordered. Before I could do anything Andreas sister Amy attacked me with questions.
"What happened? Where is my sister? Is she ok?"

"Yeah, she's fine," I responded quickly, I watched as her blue eyes widened and she looked around.
"Then where is she!? Where's everyone else are they ok!? Where's my sister?!"
I opened my mouth to answer her but Shane butted in this time.

"POP THE DAMN HOOD!" He ordered over the frantic Amy and Car alarm. I grunted in annoyance as I quickly ducked inside the car and pressed the button that unlocked the hood. Shane quickly threw the hood up scanned around for a while and the pulled one plug and the alarm stopped.

Before Amy could start interrogating me again I held my hand up to her.
"Yes your sister is fine, everyone is ok, the only reason we aren't in the same vehicle is because we took separate ones."

Amy calmed after wards but still had one more question.
"Then why are you here and they aren't?"
Glenn chuckled shaking his head slightly," Daniel decided to go One hundred miles per hour exiting Atlanta."

I smiled slightly before Shane slammed the cars hood down.
"Are you two out of your damn mind! Every geek for miles probably heard that car alarm going off! You're going to lead all of the infected right towards us aren't you! Is that what you're trying to do?!" He exclaimed angrily his face slightly turning red. I scoffed and slammed the drivers door closed glaring at Shane but choosing not to say a word.

"Now hold on Shane, there's a lot of hills from here and the city for them to bounce off of, gotta be hard to pinpoint a location, and even a direction," Dale called down from his RV. Shane looked up to Dale an eyebrow raised in frustration.
"That doesn't mean that you two boys shouldn't be a little more careful next time," Dale added on quickly.

I looked up to Dale and sent him a grateful look, he nodded back in response before our attention was drawn to the van came up the hill.

"So everyone's alright?" Shane asked.
"Well yeah, except maybe Merle," Glenn informed Shane. Before he could press further the search group exited the Van.

Morales and Andrea ran towards there family's embracing them happily smiles on there faces. T Dog and Jacqui where exiting the van carrying the duffle bags. I heard muffled crying from behind me to see Carl on his knees crying, his mom there comforting him. I knew he emotion he was feeling, hell everyone here knew what that kid was feeling, most of us lost our family, and Carl seeing everyone reunite with there family crushed him. He wished his father would be there, coming back from these runs smiling at him and teaching him how to throw a spiral.
