My life in the apocalypse

Chapter 5

*roxie's p.o.v.*

A little while after me and Carl, kissed our shift was over and we went to our cell holding hands. I crawl in my bed and Carl crawls in after me.

"I'm going hunting tomorrow with my dad." I say. "When will you be back?" Ha asks. He sounds sad. "Probably a couple days. But don't worry my dad is a badass and will keep me safe." I say with a chuckle. "I know. I'll miss you." He says. "I'll miss you too." I say. "When are we going to tell everyone that we are dating?" He asks. "I'm gonna tell my dad tomorrow while we are hunting. You can tell your dad whenever you want. I think that the word will spread after we tell them." I say. "Okay. Well I'm getting tired so I'm gonna go to sleep. Goodnight." He says "Goodnight." I say.

Right when I'm about to drift off I feel Carl's arms wrap around my waist. I scoot closer to him and put my head on his chest. I'm then engulfed in something that I haven't been able to enjoy in a long time, sleep.

*the next day*

I wake up just in time to hear my dad coming down the hall. I quickly get out of bed which was hard because Carl's arms were still wrapped around me. I don't want him to know about me and Carl yet because I don't know if he would kick the shit out of him.

I start putting my hair in a ponytail right when he walks in. "You almost ready?" He asks. "Yeah just give me a minute." I say. He walks out and I start to change into some jeans, a long sleeved shirt, and some boots. I grab my crossbow and kiss Carl's cheek. I then walk out and see my dad in the cafeteria. "You good to go?" He asks. "Yep." I say popping the 'p'.

We walk outside and start walking to the gates. "I'm gonna open the gates and you start shooting the walkers that get to close. Then I'm gonna close the gate and we are going to run to the woods." He says. "Okay." I say.

He opens the gate and I start shooting the infected that get close. He closes the gate and we start running to the woods. When we get there I see that there are no infected chasing us. We start to walk farther into the woods and I see a huge deer.

I aim my crossbow at it and shoot. The arrow hits it right in the head. "That's my girl." My dad says proudly. It makes me happy when he is proud of me. I go walk over to the deer and try to pick it up. But I can't. My dad comes over and picks it up easily. I just shrug my shoulders and follow dad.

I see another deer. This one is smaller than the other one but it's still pretty big. I aim my crossbow. I hear a gun shot and feel pain in my shoulder. I drop my crossbow and fall to the ground. My vision starts getting blurry and I see a man run over to me. I can't tell what he looks like because my vision is getting worse. The last thing I see before I pass out and possibly die is my dad yelling "NOOOO!!" And picking me up and running back to the prison. The place I now call home.
