Chapter 40

*Ali's P.O.V*

So I was with Carol and Ezekiel looking for Henry.

I do pretty much blame myself for having Henry leaving. I should've been watching him better.

He was my responsibility and I just wasn't watching him.

"Henry." Ezekiel yelled.

Nothing.

"Carol, I'm sorry for losing Henry. I'll take full blame once we find him." I said.

She shook her head.

"Don't blame yourself, Ali. It's okay and we are going to find him." Carol assured me.

We've only been out here for a few hours but again, we don't know how where he is at or how long he's been gone.

It's pretty obvious how long he's been out. He went missing last night and we are in the morning, if not afternoon, just looking for him.

I'm gonna get worried and I already am.

"We should split up." Ezekiel suggested.

"Would that be a good idea?" Carol asked.

"It goes a lot quicker. If we continue to search for him together then there's a possibility that we won't find him and we need to. This would need to work.0 Ezekiel said.

I was thinking about what he was saying and he isn't wrong. Even though I know splitting up isn't the best thing either but we need to find Henry.

"Let's do it." I said.

"I'll go by myself. You two go together." Ezekiel said.

"Okay, that's fine. We'll meet you at Hilltop once he's found." Carol said.

"See you." Ezekiel said and we were off.

————

It was now nighttime and we still haven't found Henry.

I'm so worried now and I hope we find him soon.

It's too dangerous for him to be out here by himself.

"Henry." Carol called out.

"Henry." I yelled.

Carol and I kept yelling his name until we heard something, that sounded like a miracle.

"Help me." Someone yelled.

"Come on." Carol said and we ran.

We ran in the direction of the noise. Then we stopped.

"Help me." The voice said again.

We got a little closer and had saw that the voice belonged to Henry.

"Hang on, Henry." I said.

Carol and I had to kill some walkers that were there so I took out my blade and killed some while Carol did the same.

Then we got to where Henry was. We helped him from where he was behind some kind of thing and then took him out.

Henry hugged Carol and repeatedly kept saying I'm sorry.

Then he let go of Carol and then hugged me.

"I'm sorry, Ali." He said.

"You're okay, buddy. I'm glad you're safe." I said holding him tight.

He's so shaken up at what happened and I don't blame him.

"Let's get back to the Hilltop." Carol said.
