Two Hearts Combined • Carl Grimes TWD

All of a sudden I run into something or someone.

"Gawker?" I jump on top of it, almost stabbing it in the head (and also nearly losing my knife in the mean-time). Until I hear it talk. "I-I'm not a 'Gawker'!" The thing says. He isn't a Gawker, clearly, but instead is a living boy.

I look at him, startled. I haven't seen another kid-erm or teenager since before... All of this.

"Who are you!?" I yell at the guy, holding my knife up to his throat. Even though I haven't seen another human in a long time, I they are a lot of danger. "I-I-My name is Patrick! I have a group! Please don't hurt me, we are just two dudes both trying to survive out here!" He says, gulping.

I see a man out of the corner of my eye come out of hiding behind a tree or bush and see him pointing something at me out of my peripheral vision. I look up at him and let go of the kid. "Sorry, he took me by suprise." I say and stand up, keeping my knife by my side.

I can't really see what the man looks like, he's all blurry because I got dirt in my eyes, but i can see he has a crossbow. The man's crossbow is still pointed at me, clearly not the trusting type, but neither am I.

I frown at him and put my hands up, dropping my knife. I clearly won't get anywhere while I'm still armed. The boy runs behind the man pathetically.

I hold my hands in the air and behind my head, showing that I won't hurt anyone. "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't wanna hurt anyone. I just need to get back home... I should leave now." He looks me up and down, crossbow still pointed at my head.

I need to get back home. "Mhm. Who are you? You got a name?" The man spits back at me. "My name is Ethan, Ethan Miles."
