APOCALYPSE - Chapter 8

When we arrive at the store, it feels like yesterday's run.

I open the door and the bell rings quietly.

There's no walkers though, but we keep our guns close.

Carl leads me around the corner to where the baby formula is.

He starts pulling off all of it and putting it in his backpack, so I do the same.

Eventually our packs are full so we start to leave.

But a box catches my eye, and I call Carl over. In the box there's a little teddy bear.

"For Judith." I pick it up and hand it to Carl.

"Thanks." He smiles and takes it.

Suddenly walker groans are outside, so we pull out our guns and quietly slip out the back of the shop.

We run around the corner and sprint into the edge of the bush.

We run along near the road, so we know where we are.

It's evening by the time we stop. Cold air plasters my skin and I feel winded.

Suddenly I lurch forward and retch in the ground.

I feel Carl's hand on my back, comforting me.

I straighten up and spit in the ground.

"Lilac, it's dark and we won't get back to the prison before dark. We'll have to find a house." Carl says.

I nod and follow him to a street that is lined with houses.

We find one and go in.

We clear it out, looking for walkers in the house, But there are none.

Carl and I push a cabinet in front of the front for and put down all the blinds and shut the curtains.

We light a few candles for light and then look through the kitchen.

Carl starts pulling out food, so I decide to clean up.

"I'm covered in blood. I'm going to take a shower." I say.

He nods and lets me go up stairs.

When I get to a bathroom I lock the door and unbutton my shirt.

The water is freezing, but I wash of all the blood and dirt.

I hop out and dry off.

I bought a change of clothes so I slip into them and then go downstairs.

I'm at the bottom of the stairs when I see Carl.

He's leaning against the bench and he's all pale.

"Carl?" I ask quietly.

He turns around and I see that he's crying.

"Hey," Carl sits of the couch sobbing harder.

I sit down next to him and touch his shoulder.

"What's the matter?" I whisper.

"My Mum...." He cries hard now.

I lean forward and hug him.

Carl buries his head into my shoulder and cries.
