Ghost's pov

I stood at the stove as I watched the eggs slowly become solid and the bacon sizzle, filling the air with a nice aroma. I pulled the pan off the element and walked over towards the plats laid out on the table and placed the eggs and bacon on them and walked towards the sink and filled the pan with water and felt it to soak.

“Come on ya two, foods ready” I spoke to Daryl and Emmy

 Emmy came running into the room and quickly sat down at the table but she stopped and looked at me, asking me if she was allowed to eat. I nodded and she started eating. Daryl came walking in slowly.

“Are ya sure I’m allowed ta eat ya’ll food? A don’t feel to good bout it” he said unsure and guilty

I smiled “ya you’re allowed, a said so and I’d like ta see anyone who says otherwise”

“But...” he started before I cut him off

“Daryl I said so now shut up and eat the dam food a cooked for ya”

“Okay if ya say so a will” he went and sat down but not before giving me a quick kiss

As I ate I started thinking about Emmy, she was the same age as Carl. Maybe I could try and get them to be friends? Maybe... then she might not feel so lonely without me around. It was defiantly worth a shot. I looked over at the girl eating her food happily and I noticed she wasn’t rushing herself anymore, so she was getting the amount of food she needed in a day. Good.

I fed Soul some of my bacon as I waited for Emmy to finish her food. Daryl had already finished and said he was going outside and he would talk to me later. Emmy was taking her time eating, i hated waiting but for her I didn’t want to tell her to hurry up. I didn’t want to seem like I was bossing her around. So I got up and started washing the dishes from the morning and leaving them on the rack to dry.

I turned around and spoke “Emmy ya finished yet?” i asked softly

“Mmmmhhm” she mumbled as she put the last bit of food in her mouth

I laughed at her and walked over to take the plat from her and washed it and put it in the rack.

“Emmy?” i asked calling her over to me

She stood in fount of me looking up as she answered “Yea?”

“Would ya like ta meet some new people?”

“Are they nice?” she spoke unsure

“Well a would trust dem. Does dat help?”

She nodded and said a quite “ok”

I nodded and grabbed her hand and led her outside, she picked Soul up and held her in her hands cuddling her and I thought it was very cute.

I lead her towards the camp on the other side of our house I could see Carl and Carol sitting beside each other near their camp fire peeling some veggies. I walked towards them as I walked I kept an eye out for my parents making sure that Emmy would be okay being here. I didn’t spot them around but doesn’t always mean they aren’t there hiding somewhere. I could never trust them.

Their heads looked up as I approached them making a little more nose as I walked to make them aware I was coming. Carol stood up.

“Is everything alright Ghost?” she asked

I looked into her eyes, they held so much sadness they were so lost she was so lost, I felt sorry for the loss of her child but I knew there was nothing I could do to comfort her. This was something she needed to overcome on her own.

“Nothin’s wrong but a was wounderin if y’all could umm let Emerald join ya for a little bit?” I responded

“Oh of course she can me and Carl was just peeling some veggies for tonight’s dinner” she bent down to Emmy’s eyelevel and spoke to her softly “Do you wanna come and help me and Carl?”

 Her grip on my hand tightened and she looked up at me again asking me if she could go.

“Tis ya’ll choice if ya wanna go an help dem little one” I patted her on the head

She let my hand go and walked towards Carol “I want to help, if that’s okay with you?”

Carol grabbed Emmy’s hand and ushered her towards the seats. I watched her sit down and looked at Carl as he started talking to her.

 I nodded to myself and turned around and started walking towards the stable. As I turned the corner I felt something smash into my face. I looked up as I stumbled backwards and saw my father then I was being pulled down to the ground by my hair, my head hit the ground hard and I lost my breath for a second. I blinked away the dizziness my father was down on the ground and on top of me before I could get up or react to the hit to the face, his fist slammed down hard on my face again I felt blood come out of my nose as he hit again by this point I couldn’t quite keep my eyes focused on anything everything was blurry. I heard my mother laughing, so that’s who pulled my hair.

I felt him breathe on my ear as he spoke to me “You’re nothing but a weak whore, who hide behind people”

Them I felt the pressure that his body held me down leave and them a foot stomp on my stomach, I grasped for breath. I listened as their footsteps faded then I heard a scream.

“Emmy!” I yelled as I pushed myself up on my feet.

I whistled for Spirit and he came galloping towards me. I put my arms around his neck and with as much strength as I could bring forth and jumped onto his back and pushed my boot into his side and run towards Rick’s camp. As we got there I half slid half fell off Spirit and limped towards my parents their backs were turned towards me and I could see Carol holding them off from the two kids.

“Carl! Take Emmy an get into da house!” his face shot up and looked at me then he nodded and took Emmy by the hand and run towards the house. Good they were safe. I took my knife out of my sheath and threw it at my father’s leg he buckled to his knees as the knife hit home with a hard force, he grabbed the knife and pulled it out and he turned and faced me. I grabbed the other knife out of my back sheath and held a fighting pose.

“I’m not gonna ta let ya hurt her ya sick bastard” I spat

“Your nothing compared to me” he growled

“Good, I never wanted to be like you anyway”

I twisted my arm back and threw as hard as I could. I watched as the knife stabbed him and blood seeped out of the wound, he gasped for breath as he clutched the knife, now in his chest right where his heart is. He flopped to the ground now dead. My mother screamed and rushed at me she landed a punch to my shoulder but as I regained my balance I grabbed her head in my hands and twisted killing her, her body feel at my feet. I looked at the two bodies and just stood there looking at them. I just killed my parents. I just killed humans. It was a lot easier to kill dead thing rather than alive things even if I hated them.

I stepped back slowly, shocked at what had happened. I turned and ran.

I ran, I could hear people yelling my name but I blocked them out.

I ran towards the only place that held any sort of refuge away from their bodies.   

 The forest.
