Monster

Part 25

* Sarah's POV*

Beth was right, I shouldn't do it. It was stupid. I don't know what I was thinking. It was stupid to do that. So, I sat in Beth's room with her, and we played guitar together.

She was an amazing singer, and I was good at guitar, so we made up a band called 'The Apocalypse Singers'

Half the time, we would just make up random things to say, or rhyme words together, and have it not make sense. It was pretty funny. We tried not to play too late in the night, because of people getting sleep, and the walkers might hear us.

I ended up falling asleep in Beth's room, while we were talking.

{ In the Morning }

I woke up, and I smelled food. For the first time in awhile, someone was cooking. I walked downstairs and saw Maggie and Rick making food. I had forgotten that they had aa generator, so the whole house had electricity, plumbing, and gas. It was nice since we would all shower, but not for long.

"What are you making?" I asked Maggie, who was standing at the counter.

"Well, Glenn and I went out into the barn, and found some chicken eggs, so everyone gets eggs for breakfast."

"That's great! Wow I can't believe they survived!" I replied.

I couldn't remember the last time I ate. It's been about 2 weeks. If you don't thinkk about it, you don't need it.

" I know! It's a miracle." Maggie replied happily.

"So where's everyone else?" I asked, notcicing nobody was in the kitchen.

"Everyone is getting ready to go on a run, and some people are still sleeping." Rick replied.

"Do you want me to go on a run with everyone? I don't mind."

"Sure. If you want to. Glenn, Michonne, Sasha, Carl and I are going." Rick said.

I had forgotten about Carl, ever since we got here, I hadn't even thought about him. I guess that's a good thing, even though he was acting nice.

He had accepted my apology, and we went back to our normal ways. But the truth is, I really didn't want to forgive him. He killed someone I loved, and he was dangerous.

Everyone ate their eggs together. They were really good, and it felt good to eat some real food.

"Thank you, Maggie." I said 

"You're welcome. Good luck out there." she said.

I grabbed my knife and came back downstairs.

"Ready?" Rick asked.

"Yeah. Let's go." I replied.

We were going to the store up the road a couple of miles to check and see if there was anything of use for us. We took the SUV and drove up to the store. On the way there, the car started to sqeak and made noises.

"Glenn, what's going on?" Rick asked, who was sitting in the passengers seat.

"Shit." He yelled.

"What happened to the car?" I asked.

I didn't know much about car's, but by the way Glenn was acting, it didn't sound good.

"The engine's fried. I can fix it, if I have some water and a  screwdriver."

" We'll go to the store ahead and look for some tools, than we'll come back and you could fix it." Rick said.

"Carl, Michonne, come with me. Glenn, Sarah and Tyreese stay here and watch the truck." Rick said again.

"Okay, be careful." I said to Rick.

They started walking up the street, and soon they were out of view.
