The Third Dixon ~Revised~ (Carl Grimes) ✔️

28

~Aaliyah's Pov~

We were on the road again. It's been around 3 weeks since we left Atlanta. We were walking though, Not a surprise but the cars ran out of gas. So now we we're on foot until we reach another car. 

We didn't have food or water. Daryl headed out to the woods with Carol. I looked behind us to see walkers. They were far but they were there. Carl looked back too, then he looked at me. I looked at him too then back down. "You okay?" he asked. I nodded. "Yeah, I just want to take a shower and sleep." I said looking ahead. He smiled a bit. I looked at him and returned the small smile. 

We were all tired, hungry and thirsty. "I want a burger. And a soda." He said. I gasped. "Me too." i said. He laughed a bit looking at me. "But stop you're making me even more hungry." I said closing my eyes. "I made myself hungry thinking about it. Only fair you were thinking about it too." he said. "wow." I said looking at him. "We go through this together." He said looking ahead too. 

I looked forward too. We were coming close to a bridge. "I miss beds." I said. "I miss.." he said thinking. "I miss TV." He said. "i miss.." I said thinking. "I miss youtube." I said. "I miss video games." he said. "okay, let's get deep now." I said as we walked. "Okay," he said. "If you could go back before this hit. What would you do." I said. "Would i know it was going to happen..?" He asked. 

I thought about it and nodded. "Mhm." I said. "okay, i would..." He said taking a small pause. "Want a gun with infinite ammo.." He said. I nodded. "That's smart, If only it were invented." I said. He nodded. "Yeah, what about you?" He asked. "I would try to stop it in general." I said. He looked at me. "Then you wouldn't have met me- us." he said. I looked at him too. "true.." I said softly. 

"Take it back. Think of something else," He said. "Okay, I would.." i said thinking. "I have nothing. I'd want what you have. The gun." i said. "Cmon, be creative. You can have anything in the world. What would it be." he said as we kept walking. I shrugged, "um.. okay." I said looking at him. "A water bottle with infinite water." I said looking at him and raising an eyebrow. "Smart." he said smiling a bit and looking forward again. 

I nodded. A bit. Rick came up to us and handed Judith to Carl. "Keep walking, wait at the end of the bridge. We're getting rid of these walkers." Rick said as Carl took Judith. Tara, Eugene, Noah, Rosita and Gabriel came with us and we waited until they took care of the walkers. When they were done, we kept walking again.

We took a break, we were all sitting on the side of the road. I was sitting next to Rick and i rested my head on his shoulder. tracing small shapes on the dirt bellow us. He looked at me then back at the floor too. We heard branches snap and we looked up to see it was Daryl. 

He didn't find anything either. He came over and sat down next to me. I looked at him and he looked at me and gave me a small nod. I returned it. About a minute later, we heard something move. And growls. We looked over and we saw it was a small pack of dogs. They were dirty and bloody. I reached for my knife and moved closer to Daryl.

He moved slightly in front of me and pulled out his knife too as they barked. They suddenly went down. Sasha shot them down.

We ended up eating the dogs. I never thought i'd be eating a dog. Ever. But i'm happy we got food. We really needed, we also found water. We were walking again. Glenn held out the water bottle to us. "No, i'm alright." He said. "Daryl." Glenn said. "Don't." Daryl said. I took the water bottle from Glenn. "Hey." he said looking at Daryl. "We can make it together. But we can only make it together." Glenn said. 

I held out the bottle out to Daryl. He shook his head. "You drink." he said. "You have to drink too." I said. "Drink." he said. "Don't be stubborn." i said looking at him. I held the bottle out to him still. "if you don't drink. I wont." I said looking at him. He took it, drank some and handed it back to me. 

I drank some too and he looked at me. "Tell them i'm lookin' for water." he said. "Daryl.." i said. He didn't turn around but kept walking. I put the cap on the bottle and handed it back to Glenn. He took it and we kept walking for a while. After a while we came across a bunch of water. Water bottles, Gallons. And leaning against it, was a paper that read 

FROM A FRIEND

Daryl came out of the woods right on time, Rick handed him the paper and he grabbed his crossbow. "What else are we gonna do?" Tara asked. "Not this. We don't know who left it." Rick said looking around. "If that's a trap, we already happen to be in it." Eugene said. I looked at him, he was staring at the water. "but i for one would like to think it is indeed from a friend." he said. 

"Don't even think about it.." i said. He kept his eyes on it. "What if it isn't? And they put something in it?" Carol asked. Eugene reached for it and Abraham knocked it out of his hand. "We can't. Rick said. It started raining and i closed my eyes feeling it against my skin. "oh my god.." i said softly and smiled a bit. Tara and Rosita laid down. I took Carl's hat off noticing it was raining harder. 

He looked at me and I covered her head. He took the hat and covered her head with his hat.
