Our World

Chapter 7

Megan pov*

After me and Daryl had that little talk i went outside to clear my head. As i was walking i heard my name being called. Megan" the voice said an i turned around. the person that called me was a blonde haired woman. "Megan right, i'm Andrea" she said holding her hand out but i didn't shake it i just stood there staring. eventually she got that i wasn't gonna shake her hand and continued talking. 

" so are you one of Hershel's kid or are you Daryl's because you where here when we got here but you know Daryl" she asked. " um no im not part of Hershel"s family i met them yesterday with rick, and Daryl is by cousin" i said and walked away. I know i was probably being rude but im not used to human interaction. Its been quite a while since i had talked to anyone but lily. 

its a little weird being around so many people because even before the fall  i hadn't talked that much. i had lost a lot of friends because i decided to stick up for someone. i had even lost my best friend because i didn't agree with her actions. The truth is i dont like people all that much. all they really seem to care about is status, control, money, power, etc. i dont care much for that, all i cared about all my life was surviving and taking care of lily. she is about the only thing i care about in this world.

i found my way to a big tree on the property and climbed it. leaving my thoughts behind i fell asleep in the tree.

*Few hours later*

i woke up from my amazing nap to someone smacking my boot. "Megan, yo Megan get up we gotta attend some guys funeral" daryl said. "go away and stop smacking my foot you big idiot" i grumbled rolling over in the tree. next thing i know im being pulled off the tree and fall on the ground. 

"WHAT THE HELL DARYL THAT HURT" i yelled but he just laughed and walked away. "asshole" i mumbled. i followed daryl till we got to a clearing where the whole group  and hershels family where. "Blessed be god, father our lord Jesus Christ" hershel said while beth placed a rock on the pile. "Praise be to him for the gift of our brother otis, for his span of years for his abundance of character, otis who gave his life to save a childs. now more than ever our most precious asset" hershel said. i look over at shane to see a look of guilt i his eyes. i have a feeling that otis death was no accident, i wasnt the only one to notice this because daryl looked down at me with the same doubtful look.

hershel finished his speech and asked Shane to say what happened. then i hear the most ridiculous story ever. shane is a good liar but he is not good enough to fool me. you cant lie to a pro liar. but whatever he has everyone else fooled might as well act like i am too. a little while later everyone is either planning a search for a girl named sophia or doing their own thing. 

people start setting up camp and i go over to the secluded area near the tree i was in earlier and where daryl set up his camp. " hey daryl can me and lily have our camp over here too, feel safer near you ya know" i asked " i aint got no problem with that" he said. after his approval i go get me and lilys things and grab lily. after a while we got our camp set up. lily is happily playing with her toys and i just sit on a log skinning a squirrel i had killed. 

"hey kid whats up" daryl said sitting next to me " on nothing just skinnin dinner" i smiled sarcastically holding the squirrel up in daryls face. any normal human would be grossed out and throw it away from them but daryl just grabbed it from me. " your skinnin job is off" he joked " oh shut up" i said smacking his arm and he pretended to be hurt by rubbing his arm. "Hey kid im gonna go look for sophia for a while so sit tight keep an eye on your sister" he said punching me in the arm lightly. then he stood up to walk away " daryl dont die, come back alive of" i said not looking at him. he just walked away but i know he heard me.

 * little while later*

daryl came back along with glenn and maggie. i overheard lori talk to glenn and he gave her a package and walked away lori looked around and spotted me looking so i turned around and started to walk back to my camp but to my demise she called out to me so i stopped and turned around. " hey megan its nice to see you again. if you remember me im lori" she said " hi" i shyly said " so as i recall you ad carl where friends before all of this" she asked.

" um yes" i said hoping that something would save me from this conversation. and just to my luck i spotted daryl looking at me and i guess he saw my pleading eyes and he got the message. "he megan come over her i need to talk to you" he called " daryl is calling i have to go" i said " ya well good chat" she said nervously " hey lori, for the record i didnt see glenn hand you a box of pregnancy tests" i told her and walked away. 

i finally got to daryl  and we started walking back to our camp " you wanna tell me why you where silently begging for help" he asked " um no reason" i said " well what it looks like to me is you where trying to not talk to lori" he said " ya well you try talking to someone you dont really know for some reason you dont know"  i speed up to walk back to camp.
