Laurens POV:
Me Carl and Alex made our ways to the far end of the house. No one really comes back here but they checked it before we moved in.
"Okay guys we're going to the basement." I turned to look at them.
"Um is that safe Lauren?" Alex shyly asked.
"Yep the guys checked it before we moved in."
"Yeah and I'll be there to protect you two." Carl spoke up proudly.
"In your dreams Carl." I said and me and Alex started laughing.
"Yeah yeah whatever let's just go." He said
"This way." I said
We walked down the long hallway and to the basement door. I opened it and shined the light down the steps. The steps looked old and dirty but I turned and nodded my head signalling the kids to follow me. We walked slowly down the steps.
We reached the bottom of the steps and a kid stood on each side of me. I shined my flashlight all over the place and didn't see anything unusual.
"Alright guys we can look around but don't leave my side. Got me?"
"Gotcha." said Alex
"Yep." said Carl
"Alright let's go this way." I pointed to the left.
We started walking to the left of the basement. It wasn't very big but it's somewhere to take the kids to distract them. Which if I do say was working well.
"What are we looking for?" Carl asked
"I don't know. Nothing really just looking around I guess." I answered back
"Oh okay." he said
"It's really dark down here. I'm scared." Alex said
We stopped walking and me and Carl turned to face her.
"You don't have to be scared. I'm right here." Carl said and went over to her
"Yeah um you don't need to be scared. The guys said they checked the basement already." I said and gave Carl a weird look.
"Okay and Carl really?" Alex said
"Um.....yeah I guess...um." Carl said
"I'm just kidding Carl." Alex said
"Okay children. Onward with our adventure!" I yelled
Both of the kids busted out laughing. We calmed down and we kept walking and looking at things as we did. I shined the light ahead and saw a closet. I walked forward and went to open the closet when Carl spoke up.
"Are you sure you want to do that? We don't know whats in there L."
"It'll be okay Carl. Okay guys stand back." I said
I reached forward and knocked on the door and put my ear up to it. I heard moving around and growling. Great. Just my luck.
"Okay both of you stand back. I'm gonna open this door."
They both moved back behind me. I reached for the handle and opened the door. What happened next was not anything I expected to happen.
Daryls POV:
After Lauren left I went over to Lori and Rick. Who looked like they were having a serious conversation. I walked over and they both quit talking and Lori shook her head and walked away.
"Rick. Whats wrong man?"
"Um nothing to worry about. Where's Lauren I need to talk to her."
"She took Carl and Alex explorin' I guess."
"Where did she plan on doing that?"
"I have no idea Rick."
"Well when they come back tell her I need to talk to her. It's really important."
"Will do."
He walked away from me and I decided I would just go upstairs and finish moving my stuff into Laurens room. Atleast thats what I was going to do until I heard yelling.
