Today we were going to go look for Sofia as a group. There was only a couple blocks that we haven't checked so we thought that we would give it a shot.

Rick trusted me and Carl to go search a house by ourselves. Me and Carl have been getting closer these past couple weeks. I haven't told him anything about my life before all this shit happened and I plan to keep it that way. I don't like letting people get to close to me, it always causes problems it the future. I also hate when people give me pity.

Before I knew it Carl was shaking me

"Court?" He said. I jumped and looked at him

"Yeah sorry I kinda zoned out there" I said

"It's ok" Carl said "we're here"

=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•

As me and Carl approached the door I grabbed one of my throwing knives and quickly opened the door. I peeked my head in and saw a walker with its back towards us and it was on the other side of the house.

I shushed Carl and aimed my knife towards the walkers head. I used all my force and threw the knife.

The walker dropped

"Nice shot" Carl said

"Thanks" I answered

As I walked to retrieve the knife I said

"You check the upstairs and I'll check down here"

"Ok, yell if you need anything"

I nodded and walked into the living room. I kept a knife raised in case I saw any other walkers.

No sign of Sofia I thought to myself.

And the end of the coffee table I saw a family photo. I picked it up and saw that it was a dad, mom and 3 kids. 2 boys and 1 girl. It's a shame what this world has come to.

Just then something pushed me to the floor, a walker was inches away from biting into my neck. When the walker pushed me to the floor my knife fell across the room and since I had to hold the walker up from biting me I couldn't reach my other knives.

"CARL!!!" I screamed

Carl's POV:

Just as I was about to walk down the stairs a heard a scream

"CARL!!!" Fuck I thought to myself and ran down the stairs as fast as I could.

I saw Courtney struggling to keep the walker off of her and her knife was across the room. I quickly took out my gun and shot the walker straight in the head.

I walked over to her and pushed the lifeless body off of Courtney. She just laid there staring up at the ceiling.

"court?" I questioned as i shook her

She didn't answer or move.

"COURTNEY" I said louder. Still nothing

Just then Daryl and my dad came running in.

"Everything alright?" Daryl questioned

"We heard a gun shot" my dad said

They then came into the living room and saw Courtney laying on the floor with me next to her.

Daryl ran over and picked her up bridal style.

"Is she bit?"

"No... She just went into shock I think"

"What do you mean you think" Daryl said with a slight attitude

"I came down here and a walker was on top of her so I killed it but the she just laid there. I tried shaking her and caring her name but she didn't answer, she would just stare at the ceiling.
