Apocalyptic Love

3 Years Later- Chapter 6

(So I asked my friend how old I should make Carl and she said 13. So I am making him 13, his appearance is changing a lot, my boy is about 5"5 now. Leslie is 5"2. Sophia looks more BA then she did when she was younger, got the short blonde hair still.) 

3 years had passed, they were 13 by now. Still haven't found the group and may not find them anytime soon. Still haven't found Leslie's parents, but she is still optimistic about finding them. They trusted nobody still. They would save people from walkers, but they never really stuck around, they stayed for maybe a day or two, but then they were off. They were out to find their group. 

Leslie was walking for days. Carl says "Come on Les, we have to keep walking." Leslie says "Can we just take a break? We have been walking for days. With no breaks, no rests, let's just rest our feet, they must be sore." Sophia says "Alright, we will rest, but not for long. We need to keep moving." Carl holds Leslie's hand just like he used to when they were kids. He didn't have no shame in it, no embarrassment, he just always held her hand as a sign that he was always going to be there with her, through thick and thin, through the toughest times. You name it. They rested for about  10 minutes. Then they got back up and Carl, who was still holding Leslie's hand pulled her up. Then they started their journey once again, Carl held Leslie's hand through the whole time they were walking. They saw a prison in the distance and decided to go and check it out, there were these big metal gates there, they stopped right in front of it. Glenn was on the watch tower, with his girlfriend, Maggie, someone they had met while on their journey without the kids. Glenn was holding a rifle, he looks down and points the gun at the kids. Maggie looks down and says "Glenn! Put the gun down! Those are kids!" Glenn puts the gun down and realizes and says "That's Carl, Leslie, and Sophia!" He then screams out "GUYS!!!!" Rick runs out and so does Lori. Carol, Daryl, Andrea, etc. Daryl is a guy with a crossbow, he was fighting with his brother earlier in the last chapter. Rick and Lori cover their mouths in surprise. Carl then drops his backpack and yells out "MOM!!! DAD!!!"He runs to them and embraces them in a hug. Lori and Rick are overjoyed. They just don't want to let go of him. Leslie and Sophia walk into the prison and look around. Rick says "How could you kids survive so long in the wild? With all those walkers?" Carol runs up and hugs Sophia tight. Carl says "We had each other, surely, I did get hurt in the process." Lori says "You did?!" Carl says "Yeah, but Leslie stitched me up." Rick and Lori both look at Leslie. Leslie says "It was nothing...I just did my best..." Rick says "How did you get hurt?" Carl says "Bullet wound. Some people wanted to raid us. One of them was holding Leslie by her neck, they could have strangled her! I had to do something, so I rushed towards him and I got shot, but I kept fighting! We won the fight but I got injured, luckily, Leslie stitched up my wound, she took proper care of it and I was fine!" Rick looks at Leslie and says "You saved his life..." Leslie nods her head. Rick says "Your basically a hero, Leslie!" He ruffles her hair and gives her a big hug, making Leslie laugh. Lori says "We should all get back inside of the prison." So everyone goes back inside of the prison. Leslie says "We are missing someone, what happened to Dale? Shane?" Lori says "Dale...he wasn't bitten but...a walker had ripped his stomach open and you can see his guts, so Daryl, shot him in the head." Leslie covers her mouth. Carl says "His guts? You can literally see it?" Lori nods her head "And Shane, he was shot, so he died, and then he came back as a walker and we had to shoot him." Leslie says "Oh my god...they died...while we were gone..." Rick says "Then we found Hershel, Maggie, Beth, and Michonne too, she is somewhere, and we also found T-dogg. He is pretty cool, he helps out with scavenging. Leslie says "I wanna meet them!" Carl grabs Leslie's hand and walks off looking to see if they can meet everyone who is new. They meet Hershel and start talking to him. Hershel says "Awww, you guys remind me of when my girls were younger." Leslie giggles and Carl smiles. Carl says "I suppose your Hershel." Leslie says "Your name sounds like Hershey." Hershel smiles "Well, be free to call me Hershey if you would like." He pats Leslie's head making her smile. Leslie says "I shall call you Hershey from now on." Maggie and Beth come along and give kisses on Hershel's cheek. Beth says "Awwwww!!! You guys are so cute! Buuuut, lemme guess, you guys aren't little kids?" Carl and Leslie nods their heads. Maggie says "You guys are about 12 or 13?" Leslie and Carl nods their heads and they both say "13!" Hershel says "You guys aren't such little kids, you guys are big kids!" Leslie says "Yeah! How old are you, Hershey?" Hershel says "I am in my 70's, but I can still fight those walkers." Leslie and Carl are amazed "Really?!" Hershel nods his head proudly. "I am able to fight off those walkers if it means protecting my family." Leslie claps "And the oldest fighter award goes to Hershey!!" Carl makes crowd cheering noises. Hershel laughs. Maggie and Beth say "Wooooo!!! Oldest fighter!!" Everyone just laughs.

THE END 

I was going to put the introductions in the next chapter but I was like lemme just add it into this chapter. Next chapter I suppose will include Lori's secret, maybe some scavenging through the prison to see if any walkers are hiding, maybe meeting T-dogg. I'll see what I can add in this story. Anyways sorry for any grammar mistakes if there are any, stay lovely my loveliessss!!!
