"The Dahlonega Dead" (Carl Grimes FanFiction)

Still Here: Part 3

                It’s been close to half a year later… After I left Beth and Michonne, I followed the road the caravan took and spent at least 3 months on my own. Surviving. Going through the motions. Staying on their trail best I could. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but I think Daryl’s been leaving me trails. A single stone every few miles.

                Pretty soon they were so steady I had a feeling he got away. Maybe he was tracking them ahead of me. I don’t know.

                It was the beginning of the 4th month that I stumbled upon a small group. About 4 older men, and one female.

                They were tough. And they thought I should join. They thought I was going to slow them down though…but…that wasn’t the case at all.

                I’ve changed.

                (Third Person P.O.V.)

                “No!!” A little girl ran in the rain trying to get away from a small group of 5 in hoods.

                “Come back here!” A man with a gruff tone yelled out. They didn’t intend to do any harm to the girl. They just didn’t know what to do with her.

                She was a tramp. Avoiding walkers best she could. The 5 figures cornered her against a wall and she turned to be faced with them pulling down their hoods.

                The rain turned the ground to mud.

                “Please!” The little girl started to cry and panicked as she saw a walker slowly coming. A 30 year old shot it and then turned back to the child.

                “Well? What do we do?” A young 28 year old woman asked.

                “You know we don’t make the decisions.” Another replied.

                “Hey! Audrey?! What do we do?! We got a kid!”

                They all turned and the girl could see a 6th hooded figure walking over with a Katana on her back. She pulled the hood and smiled.

                “You know my policy. I don’t like kids.” She smiled and slowly started to pull out her sword.

                “Hey! She can’t be older than 9!” The other girl kept Audrey from drawing her sword.

                The little girl only held her arms together.

                Audrey kept a cold face on the woman who stopped her.

                “Fine.” She turned and pulled a gun from the man behind her, then aimed. “Haha. Aren’t you going to run?” She looked at the child.

                With that, she hurried off, as fast as her small legs could take her.

                Audrey grinned and aimed.

                “Too mean.” A guy smiled.

                “You know this is actually kind. This is no world for her.”

                A grin grew on her cheeks and then the shot fired.

                “In the end. They’ll always run.” She put the gun away.

                Hahahaha….A perfect shot.

                “Don’t ever touch me again. Or I’ll do worse to you.” Audrey walked past the woman and continued on.

                I’ll put you all down. Because I like it.
