Carl, Lori, and I were at the chicken coop feeding the chicken's since we didn't have anything else to do. Carl was the one who woke me up since he could now walk around and do normal stuff then being bedridden. Carl smiled to me and I smiled back feeding more of the baby chicks that came to me, which was only one. The baby chicken was cute and also unique since it's left wing was brown while it's whole body was yellow.

" Don't look so worried." Carl said looking to his mother seeing she was staring at him.

" It's my job."

" No, it's not. You're a housewife." Carl said while Lori mouth opened in shock.

" Yeah, punk ?" She said and threw chicken food at him making him laughed a bit." You see my house around here ? A housewife."

I looked around the coop seeing there was no main chicken." They don't have a mother."

" She might be somewhere else." Lori said cleaning her nails while Carl looked over to her.

" Maybe she got eaten. Everything is food for something else." Carl said, but I couldn't help to noticed the fear in Lori's eyes as he said those words.

" I have to go somewhere. Why don't you too feed the chicken's ?" Lori said standing up and threw the last of her chicken food. She ruffled Carl's hair and smiled to me before she left holding her stomach.

" Want to go play by the lake ?" Carl asked as I shrugged.

" Don't want you to get in trouble by me." I said and he nod while I dusted my hands from the chicken food." I'm going to go check on Daryl."

" Okay. Be careful."

" Always am." I said and left not even seeing his reaction or if he agreed.

I saw the tent I been staying in and walked inside seeing Daryl with a book of his chest, while poking holes in the window with an arrow.

" If I get Mosquito bites, I'm blaming you."

He laughed rolling his eyes and poking some more into the netting" I'll make sure they get to you."

" How you feeling Rambo ?"

" Fine, Sunshine. You going gun training ?"

" Gun training ?" I questioned seeing he got up a little groaning at his bruises.

" Shane and Rick want to teach the camp to use guns. All you need is my permission." Daryl said and I shrugged looking to my feet.

" I already know how to use a gun."

" Then just go to go." He said and looked to the book he was read.

" You read ?" I asked and he shrugged looking down to it's title.

" When I was young I did. Andrea stopped by to give me it."

" What book is it ? " I asked curious written in my eyes as he saw it.

" The Case of The Missing Man." Daryl said and I nodded about to leave, but turned back around confused
