Baby grimes (season two - the walking dead fan fiction - rick grimes daughter)

Chapter Four

Rick is following right behind Daryl as they lead the group back to the creek. He's keeping his eyes out for any clues they might have missed the day before. It's kinda hard for him to concentrate with everything running threw his head. He's worried about Carl being out here with them, he's worried about addy back with dale. He still full of guilt over not getting Sophia back to the group safely. He can't stop thinking about the herd that had come threw. What if another comes threw while there all gone, he forgot to mention the quiet game to dale.

Her turns back to glen and whispers "glen... does dale know the quiet game? With addy?" Glen nods quickly "his idea. Said we needed a way to get her quiet and focus if anything bad ever happened." Rick nods please by that. He turns back to the front and keeps searching.

As they all quietly make there way along. Rick and Daryl spot a tent up ahead. Daryl signals for everyone to slow down. Rick looks at the tent carefully then motions for everyone to stop and get down. Daryl whispers "think she could be in there?" Shane whispers back "could be, could be a hole bunch of things in there."

Daryl, Rick and Shane start slowly and quietly making there way towards the tent. Daryl going first since he had the silent weapon. Daryl motions for rick and Shane to stop for a second as he creeps closer. Daryl makes it to the tent. He tries to look in but can't really see much. He shrugs back at the guys.

Rick thinks for a second then turns back and whispers out to carol. He waves for her to come over. Carol catch's up to him and he slowly leads her closer to the tent while whispering to her "call out softly. If she's in there, yours is the first voice she should hear."

They all turn to the tent scared of what could be in there. Carol starts calling out "Sophia? Sweety are you in there? Sophia, it's mummy. Sophia! We're all here baby. It's mummy." They hear nothing. The hair stands up on the back of ricks neck when they hear nothing. He motions to carol to stay and slowly goes over to Daryl who is standing ready at the tent.

Rick holds his gun ready as Daryl opens the tent door. They start coughing at the bad smell coming from inside. Daryl almost puked but manages to hold it in as he makes his way into the tent.

Rick stands by the door waiting tensley for Daryl to come back out. Rick opens the flap to try and see wha was inside but the smell is so bad that he gags and throws up in his mouth a little. Rick and Shane cough for the bad smell. Rick gets worried about Daryl being inside. Carol calls out for Daryl.

Daryl quickly comes out breathing fresh air. "Ain't her." Rick looks down sadly. Andrea steps forward "what's in there?" Daryl looks back at the group "some guy. Did what Jenner said. Opted out. Ain't that what he called it.

All of a sudden bells could be heard in the distance. Everyone looks around rapidly trying to figure out which direction it's coming from. Rick thinks he figured it out and points. They all start running in that direction. They run over a hill and stop for a second, the bells still ringing "which direction?" Shane ask's.

Rick still thinks he can figure out which way and points "I think that way. I'm pretty sure." Shane stops looking back and forth "dang it's hard to tell out here." Carol says to the group "we hear them, maybe Sophia does too." Glen then days "someone's ringing those bells. Maybe calling others?" Andrea nods "or maybe signalling they found her." Rick starts leading the way "she could be ringing them herself. Come on" they all take off running again, Rick leading the way.

Rick is the first to make it out of the trees into the clearing. There's a big white church with a greave yard. Shane called out from behind him "that can't be it. Got no steaple or bells....rick" Shane try's to reason but rick doesn't listen and starts running for the church. Everyone running after him. They run around to the front doors looking around in case Sophia is somewhere they can spot her.
