Carl Grimes

Chapter 1 - Help

6 months later...

Cassidy's P.O.V

I was running. Running from nothing, but I guess I was running from myself, or the flesh eating monsters that are currently chasing me. Yeah, I was really running from them. The walkers. I was getting real sick and tired of running. My feet were swollen, my head was throbbing, and I was out of breathe. I soon came to a stop, hoping there were only a few walkers behind me. I let the adrenaline build up inside me, then I swung my katana around me quickly. Luckily there were only about 10 of those disgusting creatures. I easily took them out with a few swift swings, choosing off their heads. Afterwards, I slipped my bag of my back and let it hit the ground. I fell to my knees and began to have a meltdown, but I didn't cry too loud because of the walkers. I am usually an emotionally strong person, but this dang apocalypse crap is breaking me. Slowly tearing me apart. I'm tired of being alone in this beat down world. I got separated from Jayden, Ryan, and my dad back in Atlanta. I've been wondering the woods and streets ever since. I've just been living off of stuff I've found in abandoned houses and stores. I usually sleep in the trees, I believe it the safest place since the walkers can't climb. I'm still an 10 year old girl, but at least I've survived this long. I have finally decided that I can't go any longer alone. The only surviver i know of is me; I haven't crossed paths or have seen anyone else in the past six months. Crazy right? We'll I've been on my own for about half a year, and that half a year has been enough for me. I open my backpack up and pulled out a gun. I put it up to my skull; my hands were shaking like crazy, but I knew I'd die sooner or later anyways.

"I'll see you soon mom." I whispered, and then a gun went off.

It wasn't my gun that was shot. It was someone else's! It sounded pretty close too. I picked up all my stuff, and began running. I was so full of hope that I actually smiled; I now know I'm not the only one. I saw some people up ahead, so stopped quite a few yards away so they couldn't see me. There was a muscular man, a sheriff, and a boy about my age. By the looks of it the boy was resting because he was laying down. There was also a dead deer beside him. They probably shot the deer and that's why there was a gunshot. All in a sudden a bigger man emerged from a thicker part of the woods. The sherif started yelling at him. They all looked so panicked, but I couldn't figure out why. That's when I took a closer look at the boy. He was actually kind of cute. He was pale with freckles, and he had dark brown, scruffy hair. That's when I noticed he had a bullet hole in the right side of his chest. The hunter must have accidentally shot him. I remembered passing a farm before I walked into these woods, maybe it had something that could help the boy! Before I knew it I was sprinting towards the group of men, ready to help.
