Darkness (FanFiction of The Walking Dead)

8. Run

Sorry it's late!

Clara's POV

"Am I gonna die too?" Jess asked, tears in her eyes.

"No Jessie," I pushed her curly red hair behind her ear.

We sat in silence for a while. I looked around the toy shop, lost in thought. Who was next? Would we find another group? Was this all a bad dream? There were so many questions

Molly's POV

"I'm going on a run," Carl announced,"Wanna come? My dad already confirmed I could go!"

"Okay," I liked spending time with Carl.

"We're leaving soon so get you're stuff ready," Carl told me.

He told me what I needed, which was a lot! We headed for the door of the school, but my dad came down the stairs.

"Where are you guys off to?" He asked us.

"We're going on a run! Rick approves," I told my dad the truth.

"Alright," He let me do anything.

Carl was taking the lead as we headed down a road. I didn't recall it. We went deep into the forest. There was somebody on the ground.

She had no head, but she had a heart tattoo on her wrist, just like mine. I kneeled beside her and examined her arm. There was a bracelet on her other arm. Looking at it, I noticed it was Amber's. I knew for sure because I bought it. Amber Jennings was spelled out in a beautiful orange gemstone.

Backing away from Amber, a tear rolled down my cheek. I couldn't even look at Carl. The tears kept coming, and I wished for the first time since I my mother was gone, that I was dead.

"No!" I screamed, "Amber, please no!" I fell to the ground in tears. Carl gave me a hug. Crying into his shoulder, I became sleepy. I fell asleep on the road.

Carl's POV

After a while of crying, Molly fell asleep. The sun was going down so I decided to make a camp fore us to sleep at. I picked her up, realizing how light she was.

I put her down while I set up some walker traps. Strings if yarn were strung between each tree. Crushed, rusty, pots and pans were tied to the yarn. If a walker came we would here the pots and pans crashing together and wake up.

Lying down next to Molly, I realized my dad and Daryl were probably looking for us. But, it was dark, so we couldn't go. I fell asleep on the cold, hard, ground.
