Every Rose Has A Thorn

Chapter 13

I woke up the next morning and walked outside. I walked up to the farmhouse and went inside. I walked upstairs. I went into Kira's room.

"Hey how are you doing?" I asked and sat on the the bed.

"I'm fine." she said and sat up

"What are you looking at?" I asked and looked at the picture

"It's a picture of my mommy and daddy." she said and showed me the picture

I took the picture and looked at it. Her dad looked kinda like...

"Kira what happened to your mommy and daddy?" I asked

"My mommy said my daddy left before I was born and my mommy went away." she said

I looked at the picture and turn it around. On the back it says

"Nicole Black Shane Walsh"
"Summer of 05"

Oh god. I then heard a car pull up.

"Hey Kira I'm going to go okay." I said

"Okay bye." she said and laid back down

"Bye." I said and walked outside

I walked outside to see Rick and Shane getting out of the car with a boy. I walked up to them.

"Who's this?" I asked

"His names Randle." Rick said dragging him to the shed
----
My daddy walked up to the group a little while later.

"The boys gotta gang 30 men, got heavy artillery and they ain't lookin to make friends. They role through here are men are dead and are women are gonna wish they were." he said

"No one goes near this guy." Rick said

"What are we gonna do?" Lori asked

"We have to eliminate the threat."Rick said and walked off

I started walking with Carl.

"I'm bored." I sighed

"I know what we can do." Carl said and ran towards the shed

"Carl!" I whispered shouted and ran after him

"Your dad told us not to go near him." I said as he climbed up the ladder

"Do you always do what people tell you?" he asked

"No, but if my daddy finds out he'll skin me alive." I said

"He won't find out come on." he said

"Fine." I said and climbed up the ladder

We sat down on a board. And watched him while Shane talked to Andrea.
He looked up and saw us.

"Hey that's a sweet hat." he whispered to Carl

"I'm Randal whats your name?" he asked

We just stared at him.

"The sheriff guy that your dad?" he asked

He looked at me.

"That guy with the crossbow he's your dad I can tell you guys look alike." he told me

"Hey I didn't do nothing I swear your dad was going to let me go until his friend started fighting with him." he said

We started walking closer to him.

"You help me I take you to my group we'll take good care of your people you just gotta help me get out of here." he said

We were just a few feet away from him
until Shane walked in

"What the hell you guys doing." he snapped

He grabbed our arms and shoved us out the door.

"Please don't tell my parents." Carl begged

"Please don't tell my daddy either." I cried

"You guys do not go near him again you hear." he said

"Go find you parents." he sighed

We ran off.

"What happened to us not getting caught." I snapped

"I didn't know Shane was going to come in." he sighed

"Man Carl if my daddy found out I would be in so much trouble you wouldn't believe." I said

"I gotta go." I said

"Bye." he said

I walked up to our camp.
----
Carl ran up to me a while latter.

"C'mon Cher." he said pulling me up

"Where are we going?" I asked

"You'll see." he said pulling me into the woods

We walked in the woods for a while until we came across a walker.

Carl started throwing rocks at it. We got up and walked closer to it. Carl pulled out his gun and then the walker came loose. It fell and grabbed onto Carl's leg.

"Carl." I cried and tried to help him

We got up and ran. We made it to the house and went inside.

"Kids go upstairs." Lori said

We started walking upstairs when I looked back at Shane remembering what I found out about him today.

"Get goin." said dad

I walked upstairs and sat next to Carl.
----
"Carl no I've been doing your stupid stunts all day I'm not going to watch." I said

"C'mon Cher please we're partners in crime." he begged

"Fine." I sighed

We snuck to the barn. We stood in the doorway.

"Do it dad do it." Carl said

"Take him away." Rick said

"C'mon girl." my dad said

My dad dragged me from the barn.
I saw Dale walking in the field. I ran over to him.

"Hey Dale." I said

"Hello Cherokee." he smiled

We heard a moan and saw a cow with its stomach ripped out. We turned around and saw a walker. I screamed. It fell on top of Dale. It tore into Dale.

"Help!" I cried as I held onto Dales hand

Everybody ran to us. My dad pulled me away as I cried. I looked at the walker then at Carl it was the same one that was in the woods. I cried some more and clung to my dad.

"He's suffering." Andrea cried

Rick pulled out a gun but he couldn't shoot. My dad handed me to Carol.

"Sorry brother." my dad said

Then a shot rang out.
