Save Me

Waiting

Hershel went missing so Glen and Rick went to look. It's now night and Rick, Glen, or Hershel haven't returned. Carl and the others were worried but if they don't return we look for them first thing in the morning.

"Where's Lori?" that was the question. We haven't seen her since this afternoon. If something happened I'm going to lose it.

Carl went back to the tent that we shared. A couple of minutes later we heard a car. Shane and Lori walk out, and she was mad since Shane lied to her. "I had to make sure the baby was okay." he said.

"Your having a baby?" Carl said "Why didn't you tell me?" Lori was speechless. I think everyone was shocked. Dale broke the awkward silence. Moments later it was back to normal and Carl had questions.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked.

"We won't know until it's born." She said smiling.

"Will we be able to feel it?" He said putting his hand on her stomach.

"Not for a while." She said. "Good questions, we haven't had the talk, I guess we forgot." he looked at Dale.

"Don't look at me that's your fathers job." I already knew all about that stuff, because I started my period when I was ten. My grandpa gave me the talk about boys and my grandma gave me the one about girls.

"If the baby is a girl, can we name her Sofia?" It was silent.

"Hey, dude I'm sorry I thought you knew." Shane apologized.

"Big brother Carl." Carl said with a big smile.

"That sounds pretty cool, mind if I talk to your mom a sec?" They said no, but then she said it was fine. We headed outside and went to the tent.

"So, your a big brother? I wish I had siblings." I sigh and lay down.

"Yes I am." Carl said laying down next to me.

"Wow I can't wait to have my babies, but I can wait." Carl laughed at that. We said goodnight and he fell asleep.

I decided to finish the deer drawing with Carl. There was a bit of blood stains on the paper. I finished it and smiled at it. I put it back in my bag and fell asleep.

«The next morning»

It was a quite morning and a bit boring. I was watching the others packing to look for the others. As they were about to leave they saw the others car driving towards us.

It was them and they had someone else there. The adults are having a debate about what we should do about this stranger. I think we should let him go.
