Carl's POV

I ran out the back door of the house running into the woods I do feel bad for talking to my mother like that but I'm tired of her babying me all the time. I'm old enough to start doing things on my own I just wished she would get that. I kept running for a good 20 minutes until I seen my dad and Shane in the middle of an empty field, I hid behind a tree so they wouldn't see me.

"It doesn't have to be like this Shane you were my best friend!" My dad shouted.

"Oh it has to be this way Rick and you know why." Shane said I could tell they were fighting earlier because he had an black eye.

"Raise your gun!" Shane said pointing his gun at my dad.

My dad reached for his gun slowly while one hand was in the air handing the gun to Shane. Shane knocked the gun out his hand and right when he did that my dad tackled him to ground getting on top of him. I got from behind the tree crouching down slowly going over there. Shane reached for his gun before he could do that my dad stabbed him right through the heart. I stood up and shocked covering my mouth so he wouldn't hear me.

"YOU MADE ME DO THIS!" My dad yelled sobbing.

He got up sobbing some more as he looked down at his best friend laying there dead. He looked up seeing me standing there watching what happened.

"Carl? What are you doing out here?" He asked wiping away his tears.

"I-I was coming to look for you." I said quietly.

"You seen all of that?" He asked tilting his head to the side.

"Some of it dad." I answered him. As I said so Shane's body started to move and was getting up. he had turned into a walker, I raised my gun pointing it up at Shane.

"Wow now Carl... what are you doing?" My dad asked concerned. He thought I was pointing the gun at him but I wasn't Shane became a walker and was reaching for my dad.

*BAM*

I shot my gun shooting Shane's zombified body in the head. My dad covered his ears due to the loud sound happening so close to him, he then looked back seeing Shane's body.

"Thank you son." He said giving me hug.

"Lets get back home." I suggested hugging him back.

He smiled nodding his head walking back towards the house. We walked for awhile until we heard some groaning from behind us it was getting close. We looked back to see a herd of walkers coming straight towards us and the house. Our eyes nearly popped out of our heads looking at the herd we tried to run to the house but they were coming in every direction. We started shooting a few of them but ran out of bullets.

"The barn!" My dad shouted stabbing a walker in the head then grabbing my arm taking us into the barn. We ran into the barn shutting the doors behind us holding them.

"There not going to hold for long If the others didn't hear those guns shots we are going to start a fire to get their attention go up the ladder now!" My dad told me, I listened climbing up the ladder as fast as I could.

He released the barn doors climbing up the ladder then kicking down. The barn was filled with walkers reaching their hands up at us.


Lori's POV


"Carl?" I called out looking through every room in the house not finding him.

"Has anybody seen Carl?" I asked running down the stairs panicking.

"Calm down Lori maybe he is just hiding." Hershel said getting up from the couch.

"He's not hiding he left..." Kayla said softly with her head down pointing at the back door.

I ran to the back door shouting out his name waiting for a response. This is all my fault if I hadn't yelled at him earlier he wouldn't had left I started sobbing falling to my knees then feeling somebody pick me up bridal style it was Daryl he must've came back earlier.

"What the fuck the barn is on fire!!" Joshua said looking out the window by the front door.

"Go grab my gun Joshua!" Hershel said opening up the front only to see a ton of walkers in the front yard.

"Oh my lord..." He said shutting the front door then grabbing his gun from Joshua.

"We have to get out of here everyone grab a weapon!!" He said loading his gun.

Daryl put me down walking over to Carol handing her a gun and showing her to work it. Everyone loaded their weapon and grabbed a small bag to take with them. Everybody took a deep breathe before opening the door firing their gun. Everything was moving in slow motion until I felt a hand grab my arm I let out a scream only to see it was Kayla.

"Let's go to the truck!!" She pulling me over to truck along with Beth, and Patrica.

"AHHHHH!" Patrica screamed as a walked bit into her neck along with another taking a bite of her face.  I covered my mouth feeling the vomit about to come up from the horrific site. Beth was still holding onto her arm crying.

"Let go Beth now!!" I said pulling them apart then all of us jumping into the truck. We started to pull off until we seen Carol and Amy fighting some walkers.

"Get in!" Kayla yelled opening her side of the door shooting a few walkers. Carol ran into the car but Andrea didn't we saw her go down with some walkers.

We didn't waste no time driving off the farm, heading towards the highway just in case the others made it out they would come here I know. As we drove there Beth and Carol were sobbing the whole time till we got at the meeting spot.


Maggie's POV

"I'm all out!" I yelled as I shot my last bullet at a walker.

"Me too!" Glenn yelled back at me.

"Dad we have to go now!" I said running tugging him towards the car.

"This is my home!!" He said with angrier firing off his gun at the walkers. There were too many of them if we don't leave now we are going to get swarmed.

"NOW DADDY!!" I said getting in the car with Glenn. He stopped firing his gun jumping into the car. We started to drive off until we seen Rick and Carl in the barn on top waving their arms. Daryl drove past us on his motorcycle leaving the area, Glenn rolled his window down as T-dog pulled up beside up the car in their RV.

"I got them go ahead and leave now!!" He said before driving beside the barn letting them jump on top of the RV driving off the farm quickly

"Don't look back daddy." I told my dad driving off our property driving who knows where.
