Surviving The End

Ch. 7 Rewrite

Samuel's P.O.V

I had lead them to the cave. It took a little over three hours to reach it.

Usually I could have been back within about an hour and a half from the old cabin, but there was woman and children not to mention the old man with one leg.

I'm not really sure how this group made it with three kids, they are the loudest bunch I've ever met. The whole time people were complaining and asking where we were going. If they would just hold their horses for just one minute they would find out.

By the time we reached the clearing of the falls, they all have stayed quiet taking in the wonderful sensory. All the while I continued to make my way towards the cave.

I made sure the saw me slip behind the rushing water. They will know what to do next.

When I got to the entrance I could see the faint glow of a fire from within. I hunkered down to clear my head and made my way into the cave. I passed by White Fang and the boys playing with her pups by the main fire.

I slipped passed the hide that covered the doorway to the rest of the caves. Slipping inside one of the caves I use to butcher the game I found.

Just as I was getting ready to string the buck up, I heard the tell tail growls of White Fang. Not wanting anyone to hurt her. I gave out a sharp whistle signaling for her to heal. I know she went and laid in front of the boys and her pups. Letting the group proceed in.

Quickly I strung the deer up, and left heading back to the main cavern. As I walked through the hide door, I was amused by their shocked and amazed looks.

I just slightly chuckled and proceeded to the fire, taking a ladle, I began to stirring the stew deeming it done.

Quickly I gathered enough bowls and began dipping out the soup. This will not only warm these people but also fill their hungry bellies.

First I gave each of my boys and White Fang a bowl, followed by the little boy and girl, then the adults and lastly me.

They just took the bowls quietly, found a place to sit and dug in.

It was some time later when one with the brown hair and scruffy beard spoke.

"Thank you for that, my name is Rick. If you don't mind is there anyone else here?"

At his question I just shook my head no.

He continued naming off the members of his group.

The little boy and the baby were his children their names were Carl and Judith.

Next was the man with one leg, his name was Herschel, the blond was his daughter Beth, the brunet was Maggie and she was married to the koren guy Glenn.

Next was a short grey haired lady, her name was Carol, the little girl was her daughter Sophia, and the guy with one hand was Merle. Seams they were together.

Next was a black woman with a sword, she said her name was Michonne. That's a name I've never herd before.

The last guy, he had long brown hair and was wearing the vest with the angel wings, said his name was Daryl and Merle was his brother.

Nodding slightly, I then cleared my throat before speaking. Yes, it was gravely from miss use, ever since I got the scars.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Samuel Two Moons. These are my boys. The twins are Jack and Ken. While the triplets are Renji, Kenji, and Neji."

Once I finished little Carl pointed out the boys didn't look like me or one another for that matter.

Chuckling I replied in kind. "That's correct, good eye. Jack and Ken are really my nephews. I was watching them for my brother while he went to get his wife. They didn't return so they became my responsibility. As for the other three, they were brought here at about six months old by their grandmother. She did not make it. I've been caring for all five of them since the beginning. So in my eyes and theirs I am their mother."

With that they all smiled, glad my boys had me to help them through their short lives.

Many hours passed, everyone was enjoying each others company.

It had been so long since I last talked to an adult, I let time fly by.

Looking over, I spotted my boys surrounding that guy Daryl. He didn't look to confrontable at the moment. Renji and Neji was leaning against his sides fast asleep while little Kenji sat between his legs with his head on his chest. Drooling down Daryl's shirt.
