Fight To Live

(OLD) Chapter 31: Walker Pit (OLD)

Ethan's POV

-Three Days Later-

"You're healing pretty fast, you still have some healing to do of course, but you're way better than you were when you woke up." Talia said after finishing my daily check up. "How're you feeling?"

"Better, I just feel sore where I was shot." I answered as I pulled my shirt back on.

"Good." She responded as she walked towards the door. "I think you can start helping with stuff now, I know you've been eagerly waiting to be able to do that."

"Really?!" I asked happily.

Finally, three days of doing nothing but laying around healing while everyone else was doing stuff to help was killing me.

"Yeah, just be careful." She answered as she smiled and walked out the door.

I immediately jumped out of bed and went to find something to do. When I went outside I started looking for Carl to tell him the good news. I found him teaching some people how to shoot.

"Ethan?! You're out of bed!" Carl shouted when he saw me walking towards him.

"Yep, Talia said I could finally start helping again." I said happily.

"That's great!" He said before wrapping me in a hug and kissing me. "Wanna help me teach them how to shoot?" He asked after separating our lips.

I nodded and we went over to the small group of people standing by the shooting range. They were the final group of people at The Farm that needed to learn, then everyone here would at least know how to use a gun.

We spent the next few hours teaching them until they were all proficient enough for us to leave them to practice on their own.

"How're we doing on food? Will we need to go hunting soon?" I asked as Carl and I walked back to the house.

"We're ok, but there's no such thing as having too much food stored." He answered. "Maybe we should take Cain and Abel out later, I think they'd enjoy that."

"Yes, we should definitely do that. It's been way too long since we went out hunting with them." I said as we reached the house and I opened the door.

We went up to our room and found Cain, Abel, Jaylen, and Miguel playing games on the Xbox. Cain and Abel were sitting on our bed while Jaylen and Miguel were sitting on the mattress on the floor.

"Hey guys, who's winning?" Carl asked as we sat down on the bed behind the twins.

"I'm kicking all their asses." Jaylen answered instantly.

"Not true, you just got in the lead. Before you sniped me from that stupid bush of yours I was winning." Miguel said as he slightly pushed Jaylen.

While the two of them were busy arguing Cain killed both of them and took the lead, when they realized what had happened they both glared up at him and he smirked down at them.

"Stop arguing and play the game then." Cain said sassily.

They kept playing for several minutes until the game timer ran out, Abel ended up winning. They all argued about how each other cheated for a while before they stopped and Miguel and Jaylen decided they were gonna go throw a ball.
