Save Me

Midnight Invasion

It's been one day since the rest of the group came back and they were set off to go rescue Merle since Daryl came back and was going to go get him by himself or have others go with him so of course Rick went with him along with others. So far Jim is giving himself a heatstroke and digging holes as well as Ed getting the living daylights beat out of him by Sean, he saw him hit Carol and lost it. We are having a big fish fry tonight thanks to Andrea and Amy, it was quite a good idea. All I did today was hang around Carl and Sofia they are the closest people I have to best friends, Carl never made it official to me but i think holding hands will do just fine for me. Everyone was smiling around the fire, having a good time. Everyone was going around and telling stories about what they did before this new world came along. It was suddenly my turn, of course when this started i was just a kid but i told them my background, my story. 

"I've been on my own since I was six, that's when my parents died in a car accident. It's crazy that some drunk man t-boned my parents and took both of them as if they didn't exist. My grandparents took me, I already had a room there because my Nona didn't believe in babysitting, It took her a whole year to even look at me. When the outbreak happened they killed themselves and I packed some clothes, food, other things and my favorite photo of all of us, then I went with Lori and them and now I'm here." All of them looked at me. "It's really okay, don't give me pity just because most of the people I love are dead, we all lose people in our lives."

Some people looked at me the other ones looked at the fire. Then others changed the subject, it was about Dale and his watch, how he sets that watch the same time everyday and then he made a big speech about it, tried to give us a quote of some poem, of course saying something witty. Amy went to the bathroom in the R.V and came out "Really, we are out of toilet paper." She said followed with screams, a walker was tearing into her flesh like it was nothing. We looked around us and saw we were surrounded by bunch of walkers. Some of them are already eating on people who were alive a minute ago, to hear the screams of fear and cries for help. We stayed in a group, I held Carl's hand as we started for the R.V a shelter for the women and children while others started killing them one by one. Rick's rescue group came back just in the nick of time started fighting from the bottom of the hill. That night was the first sleepless night I had out of many.

«The morning»

By dawn we started to burn the walkers and bury our people. "I remember my dream now and why I dug all of those holes." Jim said. The event kept running through my mind, seeing innocent people die in front of you, it makes you curious on why you survived and they didn't. Amy died and Andrea never left her cold lifeless body. They tried to convince her to put her down but she was mourning over the loss of her sister, she didn't leave her side at all.

Rick walked over to her to talk to her about having to bury her dead sister. She pulled out her gun and cocked it. "I do know how the safety works." She said threw her teeth. He slowly backed away from her and helped the others. Before long her sister turned. We thought she was crazy and going to get bit but she pulled the trigger. "Sometimes the person you would take a bullet for is behind the trigger." I remember from a fall out boy song.

After that we heard yelling. "Jim is bit!!" Jackie yelled. They held him and looked at his bite mark. Daryl was ready to kill him in a heartbeat but thanks to Rick he quickly stopped him.

"We do not kill the living!" he said to Daryl looking him dead in the eye. I looked at Carl, his face was dry from the dried up tears. I took his hand intertwined it with mine. He looked up and smiled at me I smiled back at him. The group decided we are moving to the CDC or something like that so we can save or at least attempt to save Jim, he wasn't looking very well, not at all, he had a high fever and was having these hallucinations. Jim was a nice guy and always helped Dale with the R.V, he said the only reason he was alive and breathing was because walkers were to busy eating his family while he got away, sad to say me and Jim have a lot in common with losing loved ones. He had a wife  and two little boys.

We started packing up, we leave at dawn. I lost sight of Carl so I went to look for him. He was in his tent packing his clothes. "Hey." I said coming into the tent. He looked back, a smile grew on his face, I smiled back as he continued packing "Need help?" I asked him

"Already packed?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows. I nodded my head and came closer in hopes i could help.

"I always have my bags packed." I decided to help him pack and later we finished. He grabbed his bag and my hand and took me took the car we were going to ride in. Everyone wasn't going, a family of four is going to family and survive on their own. After that we headed out to the research center, the CDC which was closer then the Military base.
