Days gone by

[It has been four weeks and three days since my dad died, I was currently in a hospital looking for bandages when I heard a crash, I went to check it out. When I saw a man come out of a room, he went the other way from me checking the phone and counter until he had a match. I followed him. He then walked to a door window then down another aisle to the chained double doors with the words.]

DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE

[Biter hands were coming out from the crack of the doors. The man freaked and headed through another door. When I caught up to him, he went into the stairway exit. He closed the door not seeing me.]

[I grabbed my flashlight from my backpack and put my backpack and quiver on and grabbed my bow and went in.]

[When I got in, I turned on my flashlight, but I didn't see the man. I went down the steps to an exit door open. I saw the man outside looking at all the dead bodies the man walked out the hospital and into the town.]

[I continued to follow him when he grabbed a bicycle and rode it to a house. I figured his house. He started screaming for Carl and Lori.]

[I looked around outside]

[Then I went inside the open house]

[I hide until he saw me]

Unknown man: Little girl, little girl its okay. I'm a police officer. Its okay I'm not going to hurt you. You can come out from there.

[I slowly walked to him until I was standing in front of him.]

Unknown man: I'm Rick Grimes what's your name.

Athena: Cassandra Griffin but I prefer being called Athena.

Rick: Hi Athena. Where are your parents?

Athena: They didn't make it.

Rick: I'm sorry to hear that.

[I kept looking at his bandage and he seemed to notice]

Rick: Gunshot

Athena: Oh, sorry

Rick:  It's okay. Let's go outside for a bit

[We walked outside and sat on the steps until we saw a walker. Then Rick was hit with a shovel by a kid around my age.]

Athena: Hey!

Unknown boy: DADDY. Daddy.

Rick: Carl. I found you.

Unknown boy: Daddy. I got this sun of a bitch I'm going to knock him dead.

Athena: He's not one of them.

[Then the boy's father shot the walker and came to his son.]

Unknown man: He say something. I thought i heard him say something.

Unknown boy: He called me Carl.

Unknown man: Son you know they don't talk. Hey mister what's that bandage for.

[Rick mutters.]

Unknown man: What kind of wound. You answer me damn you. What's your wound. You tell me he takes the safety of the gun he's pointing on Rick. Or I will kill you.

[Rick then falls unconscious.]

[The mans name is Morgan jones and his son Duane. I explained to them Rick's wound and we stayed at a house where the Jones family was holding up. Duane let me read his comics when Rick finally woke up. He'd been sleeping all day that it was already night. Duane had a bat and Morgan was talking to Rick.]
