the dead walking alive

what lies ahead

We were driving for a couple of hours now. Carl fell asleep on my shoulder not to long ago. We got our guns ready at the last stop which was an hour ago. It would stop at every gas station we could. The last stop we were at was a parking lot somewhere. We had a bunch of cars so we sized them down. So Daryl was ridding his motorcycle. (once again can't spell for crap) Then there was the van which Dale was driving. Then there was the jeep which rick was driving. Rick, Lori and Carl were in the jeep. Everyone was in the van except for Daryl. Then Daryl was on the motorcycle. Daryl took the lead on driving, then behind Daryl was us, then behind us was Rick. Andrea and Glenn were talking but i wasn't listening. Then i heard dale say "oh jeez" and the van went to a stop. I looked out the window.There were cars EVERYWHERE. Daryl came back and dale said "any way we can get through?" Daryl nodded his back which means yes And then drove to tell rick the same thing. Dale started driving and Glenn said with his map out "uh i think we should go back." "we cant spare the fuel" dale said still driving. Daryl went past us to lead the way.

We kept driving past the cars until the van broke down for the second time since this trip. Dale stopped the car and turned it off. We got out of the van and dale said, "i said it. didn't i say it a thousand times. dead in the water." "got a problem dale" Shane asked. "well we are stuck in the middle of no where soo you tell me?" dale said. "this is a grave yard" i said looking around. "come on y'all lets look around" Shane said. Carl, Sophie and I started walking around with each other. We looked inside a car and there was a walker dead and flys were flying all around it. "hey carl, selena" lori said. We turned around to look at her. "always in my sight alright?" she said to us. We nodded our heads. "you to sophie" Sophie nodded her head as well. Carl, Sophie and I staid together and just looked around in looked inside cars. Dale was on top of the van like always looking around to see if there are any walkers.

Rick ran over to us"get under the cars!" he whispered yelled. Carl and I got under a car. Sophie is under the car next to us. Lori and Carol were two cars away from us. Dammit where is everyone else. We say walkers feet and carl and i scooted closer to the middle as did everyone else. I bit my lip, i was so scared. After a while there was no walkers walking by. Sophie was scooting over to the left so she can out from under the car until a walker saw her. Carl grabbed my hand. Sophie was shooting to the other side while the walker was trying to get to sophie. Sophie was crying, so was carol. Rick got up and went to go get sophie. We all got up from under the gun and ran over to carol. I started crying because i cant lose my best friend. Carl hugged me. Then i hugged him back. Rick came back after ten minutes or so getting Daryl, Shane and Glenn. Carol was crying hard while Lori was trying to calm her down. Shane and Glenn came back telling us that Daryl and Rick are still trying to find her.

Carl found some weapons and ask if he could keep one. Lori said no and Shane yelled at carl. Carl gave the weapons to Dale and came over to me. "why was shane so mean to me?" Carl asked. "i dont know Carl maybe he is in a bad mood" I said. He nodded and said, "yeah i guess your right," "aren't i always" i asked and winked. He chuckled and smiled. The sun was going down. Rick and Daryl came back. They didn't have sophie. They aid they will find her in the morning. Carol was freaking out because carol doesnt want sophie out on her own in the woods in the dark. We all went to sleep except me. I kept watch.

-next morning-

Rick was giving us weapons to use because we are all going on a look out for sophie. Dale was going to keep watch. Rick, shane, Carl and I are going together while the rest are going together a group. Yay i get to be with carl. We all stated waling together in the woods. CArl was trying to tell shane something but shane was being mean to him. What a jerk.Im starting to really hate shane. He was never nice to me. He always gave me dirty looks and i don't know why.

We went by a tent and carol was calling sophie to see if she was in there but she wasnt. I sighed and then we heard church bells. We ran to the noise. We saw a church and we ran toreds it. I had my gun in my hand. We ran by the church door and opened the doors. Three walkers turned around. I grabbed my knife and stabbed the walker in the head a bunch of times letting my anger out. Im so mad that we still haven't found sophie. "SOPHIE!" i yelled in frustration. Cerl hugged me as i cried. I miss her so much. We walked out of the church and i whip my eyes. I need to be strong for her. Shane and Rick went in the church while carl and i where outside looking around. They came out a couple minutes later they came back and we started walking into the woods.

We heard a noise and stopped walking. We looked around and saw a deer. It walked out. We all smiled. Carl and i started walking very slowly to it so it wouldn't run away. We kept getting closer and closer to it. We were almost close to touching it. That was until there was a gun shot and it went staight through the deer and shot carl. I was in shock. "CARL!" i yelled and leaned down next to him. I started crying while Shane and Rick came over to us.We saw this man with a gun and he was shocked. I know he didn't mean to do what he did.I didnt care right now though. I cupped carls face and said, "stay with me carl dont die on me ok? okay. your going to make it."

Rick picked Carl up and i sat up. Shane grabbed the man's shirt. The man looked familier. I dont know why ealier. He started telling us directions to go to get help for carl. Rick and i started running fast. The man who loked very familier said go talk to hershel. Thats weird thats what my dads name is. We kept running fast. I saw this house. It looked familier as hell!"dad!" i heard. WE walked out of the house. i stand far from my the house. This i my house. The house with my sisters and dad. I backed up and looked around. I must be dreaming. " you okay?" shane asked me. I started crying. "my family is here. this is my house" i cried while telling shane. Now i know why that man looks familier its otas. He hugged me and i was shocked. Why would shane ever hugged me he hatted me. or thats what i thought. I hugged back and he pulled away.

I walked into the house. "m-maggie?" i said looking at my sister. her back was to me but she turned and looked at me "selena!" she yelled and hugged me. Beth came over and hugged me. " i thought i would never see you guys again" i said crying. "us too" beth said. Everyone hugged me but then they pulled away and started helping carl again. I smiled knowing i was home and with my family again after two months. I went into my room it was still the same as it was when i left. I looked around and smiled. I miss being here. I missed everything. Now i know i am safe.

I went over to the living room and maggie was with in there. "so how is carl?" i asked maggie. "oh he is okay. He is getting his stiches soon. you like carl?" maggie asked. I blushed and she gasped. "you do? well i got to say if you guys get together be safe alright" i nodded still blushing. Rick came back with shane from where carl was everyone was talking but i wasnt listening. All i know is that maggie is leaving to go get lori.

About a couple minutes later i see maggie and lori come back. Rick went up and hugged lori after she got off the horse. They ran inside to check carl i staid behind. i dont want to get in things even though i already kind of did.
