Apocalyptic Love

No Shelter- Chapter 42

The teens take turns watching for any people or walkers at the night. It was Ron's turn tonight since they have decided that he can be trusted. He was watching everyone and looking through all the windows. He saw walkers passing through but none really came at the door, probably because everyone was so silent. 

The next morning, almost around 12. Blake decided to teach Ron how to use a gun. Blake says "Well, if you don't figure out how to properly use it, you won't survive much longer. You need to use far ranged weapons, not just knives and shovels all the time." Ron says "Alright, alright...I'll learn." Blake unloads a gun and says "Alright, you are going to learn without the bullets. I don't trust you fully." He hands Ron the gun and Ron takes it and points it at a tree. Blake adjusts Ron's arm and says "Dude, hold it up to your eye and pretend you are aiming for a walker." Ron aims at the air, basically nothing and pulls the trigger making the gun make a click noise. Blake says "Now, you have officially killed a walker." Ron smiles and says "Yeah, suppose I have." 

Carl was talking with the teens about the kids. Alyssa said "The kids just really miss Leslie. You can't blame them, we all do." Asher is sitting down in the living room with his stomach grumbling. Judith is trying to keep herself busy by walking around in circles and with Pearl following her. Carl says "Yeah, we have enough food to feed them for a week, we need to keep scavenging every day, get to a better area with food, or get to a community." Kelvin says "We can't keep scavenging every single day." Tuba says with her arms folded "Well, we could. It's possible. But we will all get tired and we probably already have scavenged this entire area." Queen says "We could try moving to another area." Carl thinks and says "Alright. We can move to another area. We just need some people to go out and find out which area is safe for little kids. Plus somewhere that we can get more food." Hiro, Lia, Eliza, Drew, Sophia, Queen, Alyssa, Tuba, Kelvin, Marie and Blake all decide to leave. Leaving only, Carl, Enid, Ron, Asher, Judith, and Pearl in the house. Enid decided to watch the kids while Carl and Ron stayed outside. Ron says "Dang." Carl looks at Ron and says "Dang, what?" Ron looks at Carl and says "Dude, you are a useless ass leader." Carl gets a little mad and says "I'm useless? You are any better? I am just trying to help my friends survive in this world. Trying to help my little sister survive and see if she can still have a childhood in this kind of world. Trying to protect Asher and Pearl, the children who my girlfriend saved." Ron corrects him and says "Ex-girlfriend. You and Enid are dating now. Or am I wrong?" Carl still mad says "No, you are right. But you want to call me useless? Says the guy who needed help on how to use a gun." Ron says getting mad "Oh yeah? Since when did you learn?" Carl says confidently "When I was 8. Cause I was and still am the sheriff's son." Ron says "Well damn. You still can't provide enough food for everyone!" Carl gets more mad and says "At least I still get food. We give it all to the kids but at least we still find food and are still alive!" Ron says "You don't provide food! You don't provide enough liquids! You don't provide good shelter like a community for your people! You are a useless fucking leader! These are all reasons Leslie is not here with you anymore! I bet she wants a better man to protect her, a new boyfriend, one that is better and would treat her better than you ever did." Carl aims his gun at Ron and says "Shut up. She didn't leave because of that." Ron nods his head and says "Oh I bet she did. I bet she doesn't regret it either. She must be having a good life without you around her." Carl punches Ron and says "Shut up!"

Inside the house, walkers can be heard from outside. Trying to get in, scratching on the windows and groaning. There must be 10 of em outside. Maybe even more. Asher and Judith both run to Enid scared. Enid picks up Judith. "Asher, pick up Pearl. Since you are the oldest, I need you to carry her, and run out the back door. No matter what you see, don't stop, don't look back, just keep running. Me and the guys will be right behind you." Asher nods his head and picks up Pearl. He runs out the back door just to see Carl and Ron fighting. Asher yells out "Stop! No fighting!" Carl looks at Asher and finally realizes that walkers were here. "Shit." Asher starts running, the walkers are too busy to even notice him slip past them. Enid runs right behind him. The walkers follow her. Carl goes inside and grabs all their stuff, supplies, backpacks, etc. Ron is already running off. Carl leaves through the door shooting the walkers near the house. All of them falling down to the floor. Carl then follows the direction of where they went. 

When they arrive to a safe area in the woods. Carl says sternly "Ron, gun. Now." Ron looks at Carl as if he was crazy and says "What? No!" Enid says "Ron, just give it to him." Ron sighs and hands his gun over and Carl takes it and puts it in his holster.
