Alone and Scared

Chapter 18 - I Missed You

Chloe's POV

I woke up by Carl poking me. I groaned and rolled the other way.

"What do you want?"

"You gotta wake up, Dad wants you and Olivia to go on a run." My eyes shot open. I jumped out of bed and picked out my outfit. I looked back at Carl,

"Well? Aren't you going to leave so I can get dressed?" I asked. He turned around quickly and left.

I quickly changing into some jeans and a t-shirt. I walked out of my cell and said good morning to Olivia. She was dressed already, must've been told we were going on a run.

"Alright Olivia, Chloe, we're leaving in 10! grab a quick breakfast and get a duffel bag. Meet me at the pick up truck "

I grabbed a granola bar and a duffel bag. I walked out of the doors and saw Olivia talking to Rick.

"Sorry!" I said.

"It good. C'mon, lets go before your Dad wakes up." I smiled and chuckled.

Dark veins appeared and I quickly turned away and took a sip of blood.

"Uh Chloe, you ok?" I heard Olivia ask.

"Yeah" I said quickly.

I hopped in the front seat. And Rick was in the drivers seat. Olivia frowned as she sat in the trunk. I smirked.

Rick started driving. I looked back and saw Olivia's hair blowing in the wind. (AN she had to sit outside in the trunk area) I opened the window and yelled,

"Having fun?" She looked my way and flicked me off in a friendly way. I heard Rick laugh. I smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

I opened the front compartment and saw CDs. I flipped through them.

I picked the green Day CD and pushed it in the cd thingy. Welcome to Paradise started playing.

I saw Rick smiling. The wind whipping my hair in my face.

After about 30 minutes of driving, we reached an abandoned city. I hopped out of the car and saw Olivia hop out of the trunk. She handed me a gun and a duffel bag.

I thanked her and walked up to Rick.

"So what's the plan?" I ask.

"Ok. So you two go and clear the pharmacy. Get anything that is useful. I'll go in the grocery store."

Olivia an I nodded. I kicked open the doors since they were locked and walked in. Bow in hand. I locked an arrow. I looked around. Nothing.

I walked to the right of the store, Olivia to the left. I looked at the shelves. I grabbed medicines and foods and some... girl stuff if you know what I mean.

That's when I saw two sleeping bags. A box of food and supplies next to it. This is someone's camp. Right when I was about to call Olivia, I felt a gun pressed to the back of my head.

"Turn around slowly." I heard a very familiar voice say.

I turned and my eyes widened.

"Chloe?" "Dan?" We both said at the same time. I ran up to him and hugged him. There's another guy about my age looking at us.

Olivia, hearing us, ran towards us. But stopped in her tracks when she saw the other guy.

"Thomas? Is that you?" The guy turned around and hugged Olivia tightly.

"Really you huh?" I said smiling.

"Yeah.. I missed you Chlo. Sorry for the gun to the head." Dan said while smiling.

"That's alright..."

I looked over at Olivia. She was kissing this so called Thomas. I cringed again in my mind.

"So, do you have a camp?" I nodded to my brothers words

"CHLOE? OLIVIA?" I heard Rick call. I heard the doors open. Once he saw us he pulled his gun out.

"This is my brother and that Olivia's friend."

"It's true. My name is Dan and that's Thomas. I heard you have a camp."

"Yes, yes we do. I'm Rick."

"Can they come back with us?" Olivia asked. I saw Rick think and then nod. I smiled and same with Olivia.

"We will give you all of our stuff. Thank you." Dan said.

They packed up all their stuff and we finished up looting the rest of the place. We got in our cars and started driving.

I was in the front again and Olivia in back. Thomas and Danny following us in.

About 5 minutes in, we saw a cluster (an- lol cluster wtf) of walkers following us. About a dozen. I saw Olivia take out a shotgun and start shooting them from the trunk.

We drove on. Once we arrived back, something crossed my mind. Shit, Dad.. I jumped out of the car and walked to Dan.

"I know about Dad." He looked confused.

"My real Dad."
