Monster

Part 18

*Sarah's POV*

I was shocked. I couldn't speak. I had found them, again. I knew I could, but not this quick.

I ran up to Rick and hugged him.

"How come you all were so close to the cabin? I thought you were going back to the farm?"

"We were coming back for you, but it looks like you made it out." Rick said, squeezing me tightly.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"No, thank you." He said.

----------------------------------------

* Daryl's POV*

I was overjoyed Sarah was back. She was like a little sister to me. We were going to get her back, no questions asked. She was like family, and basically was family, to all of us. But when she came out of the woods, I didn't know how to react. I heard noises coming from behind her. Probably just some walkers. 

She stopped hugging Rick and came over to me.

"Hey stranger." I said as she hugged me.

"It's good to have you back." I said.

"It's good to be back." She replied, looking up and smiling.

I stopped hugging her and grabbed my crossbow. Something, had followed her. It was either a walker, or Carl. I was praying it was just a walker. I didn't want her to have to go through with him again. And I didn't want to kill Rick's kid. I couldn't. 

When I first met up with Rick, he was just with Lori, Carl and Shane. Than Merle and I, than the group grew. As we moved places, it grew.

Rick had heard the noise too. He grabbed his knife, since we didn't want to wake anybody up. We moved closer to the sound.

"Come out, whoever, or whatever you are." Rick said.

I noticed Sarah was standing behind me and Rick now, her knife handy, gripped tightly in her hand.

"come out!" Rick yelled, but as not to disturb the others.

A walker came running towards us. Rick killed it with his knife, and there was no other noise.

"Glad it was just a walker." Rick said.

He knew what we were all thinking, that we all thought it was Carl.

Sarah laid down on an extra sleeping bag, and tried to get some sleep.

-----------------------

* Carl's POV*

I was the one who had made the noise. Just moments before my dad had killed the walker. I was thankful for that walker, that happened to be passing through. I was about to step out until I heard it in the distance. It saved my ass. 

I stayed in the distance, watching Daryl and Rick, and watching Sarah slowly fall asleep. I was going to get her back. Even if it killed me, I would, I will, actually, get her back. 

I walked closer to where they were temporarily staying, than a stepped on a twig, and it snapped.

---------------------------------

*Sarah's POV*

 I was starting to get some actually sleep, which was rare.

As I laid down, I closed my eyes, and I heard a twig snap. I jumped up and immediately grabbed my knife.
