Survive the Impossible II. ~ A "The Walking Dead" Fanfiction

Calm Down

One week have passed since we arrived to the Farm. In this week, the group and the family got a bit closer to each other. I have spent so much time with Beth, and slowly, but I started to feel that I can trust her. She had a good effect on me, somehow I felt, I was slightly more emancipated when I was with her, but Mr Brown always pushed me back into that socket.

In the morning, I have had some time before we had breakfast, so at an easy pace, I dressed up into a white shirt, and my leggings, and I braided my hair into double parquet braid. Then, I didn't care about how my tent looked like inside, I left everything where it was, and when I stepped out of my tent, I saw that not everyone was awake, only Andrea, T-Dog and Dale were outside, and the others were still sleeping.

- Good morning for everybody! - I wished to all of them, and they did the same. T-Dog was carrying some woods to make fire, Andrea was  taking a stroll, and Dale was o the caravan and watching the farm. The sun was already shining on the sky, and it was really hot even in the beginning of the day.

I walked a bit away to have enough place to stretch my body. The feeling, what I had while I was stretching was very good, and relaxing. I did some splits, and things like that, and the others were just looking at me. I was a bit embarrassed, and I didn't even thought that I will end up with people, who are staring at me and  astonished, how flexible I was. Andrea have seen me earlier, but the two guys didn't and they were smiling.

- You're really good. - T-Dog told to me. - When did you start this?

- Only two or three years ago.

Meanwhile, Daryl unearthed or woke up, too and when I noticed him, I looked down to the grass, after I wished him good morning. He nodded, and walked away without any word. His crossbow was already on his back, and he sat down, and waited until breakfast was ready.

After this,everyone walked to us, because we were all hungry, and when the squirrels w.ere ready, Andrea, Lori and I served them to everyone. It had good smell, and it was delicious, too. I have never thought that one day I will like eating squirrel.

After brekfast, I helped Carol and Lori in packing away, while Shane and Otis departed to that school. Rick, Harshel, Patricia, Maggie and Beth farewell from them, while we were watching them from the kitchen window. Lori was washing up, and I wiped the flatware and the glasses, and put them back to their places. I saw that Maggie was going to Glenn, and they disappeared.

- I don't know what do you think about it, but Glenn spends a lot of time with Maggie. Do you think they are together, or....it's just a friendship.

- I do not know, Elisabeth. But if they are in love, then we have to be happy, don't we?

- Yeah, sure. - and in that moment, the thing came to my mind, that it was the same with Shane and Lori. And although I didn't want to be too curious, but I needed to ask it. - Lori, can I ask something serious?

- Yes. - and she looked at me strangely, like she knew what I wanted to ask.

- It's very...ahh, I don't know how to ask...forget it...

- No, ask it, now you started it. - she calmed me down, and looked into my eyes, but I laid down my head, and looked at my feet. I took a deep breath.

- What's between you and Shane? - and her look became very furious. Of course, what did I think that I would ask her about this, when she had a husband.

- It seemes? - and she held her head. I nodded, and she saw on me that she could tell me, I wouldn't tell it to anyone, although I knew, that if I saw it, then everyone knew about that. She sat down on one of the chairs, and she wasn't happy at all about this. - Shane said to me that Rick was dead. He died in the Hospital. And after that, I felt I needed a man who can support me, and who could be a father-like to Carl. But then, Rick got back to us, and from that moment, I tried to stay away from Shane, but he didn't want to and it was a bit difficult, because he has a good relationship with my boy, and I couldn't and didn't want to do anything against it.
