Carol's Daughter

(3) ugly duckling

Elsa's POV

Mommy must've gotten home when I was sleeping because when I wake up she's right beside me. I get out of bed, careful not to wake up mom, and quickly change into my black spandex booty shorts, black padded sports bra and white crop top t shirt. I also slip an my neon pink socks and head downstairs to see nobody awake yet. I guess breakfast is on me. Although this might be hard only being able to use one hand. By the time I'm done cooking Hayes, Nash, Cameron, Jackson, Carl, Ansel, Rhiannon, Kayla and Judith are awake. I serve them chocolate chip pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and apple juice.

"Hey Judy. Let's get you fed." I say happily to the little girl sitting on the ground against the fridge. Judith giggles and I set her on the counter.

"How old is she?"

"About two, now." Carl answers, I nod and get Judith her own share of food and apple juice in a sippy cup.

"Elsa?"

"Good morning, mommy!" I cheer with a smile. Mom walks up and makes herself a plate.

"I would've cooked for you." Mom said.

"She would never let that happen. After her arm broke she refused help." Hayes said with a laugh before he added on "Elsa is quite independent."

"You got that right. Rhee, do you have a pony tail holder?"

"Yep!" Rhee (Rhiannon) said popping the 'p'. After she gave me the pony tail holder I quickly put my long blonde hair into a side fishtail braid.

"I smell food." Rick said as he walked in.

"Help yourself." I smiled before turning back to the counter Judith was on. She had finished all of her food and 3/4 of her apple juice.

"Um... Carl, can you burp her. I don't want to hurt her." I say, motioning to my cast. Carl nods and puts his dishes into the sink, then getting a burp rag to burp Judith. Once he finished burping her I cleaned her up in the sink and took her to her room to change her from her pink footy pajamas. I changed her diaper then put her in a pale pink shirt thingy and a dark pink skirt thingy.

Everyone was at the pond on the farm while I was in my room, being self conscious.

Hell! It's a damn apocalypse! I'm going out there! I thought to myself before changing into my mint bikini with fringe on the top.

"You wear a lot of shorts." Mom said, referring to the boy short bottoms I had on.

"Thank you?" I said before getting in and sneakily dunking Cameron.

"Aahh!" A voice yelled from in the woods.

"Can't we just go one day?!" Nash yells at the sky. I jump out, put on my shoes and run towards the screams, forgetting I had no weapons... I see the girl the scream came from. My school bully. Taya Cox. There was a dead walker right besides her.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the ugly duckling?" She paused, panting slightly. "You know you aren't worth the air you breathe right?" She asks once she catches sight of me.

"You should just kill yourself. You're worthless! You're a dumb whore! So is your sister and mom!"

"Don't talk about them!" I yelled at her, she let out an evil laugh. She stepped closer to me.

"What're you gonna do about it? Huh?!"

"This." I say before punching her as hard as I could in the jaw. She stumbled back and grunted in pain.

"Bitch!" Taya yelled before pulling out her gun. Just then I heard rustling in the trees and Mom, Daryl and Nash pop out. Nash points his gun at Taya.

"Oh, wow, the ugly duckling actually has friends?" Taya gasped before pulling the trigger on her gun. After that she falls to the ground with a bullet in her brain.

"Elsa!" Nash yelled at me, I look down at myself. I have a bullet hole in my lower stomach. Then everything went black.

Nash's POV

When Elsa collapsed Carol had caught her.

"El-Elsa, honey keep your eyes open. Do-don't leave." Carol said in between sobs. I walked over and took off my shirt and took off my belt before putting the shirt on her wound and tying my belt over the shirt. After that I took her from Carol and started running back to the farm with Carol and Daryl fast on my heels.

"Help!" I yelled to the others. They were all now in the soft green grass. Once I was on the porch I gently lied her down on the top step.

"N-nash?" Elsa quietly asked, I nodded as she opened her eyes.

"I guess this means no more crop tops." El said weakly with a laugh then grunted in pain.

Carol, Maggie, Bob and Rhee came and took Elsa inside to fix her up, and that's when the tears started falling.

"What the hell happened out there?!" Rick yelled as he quietly sobbed.

"T-Taya Cox shot her. Ansel. Taya. Your girlfriend. Shot Elsa!" I yelled at him between sobs.
