The next day abby decided to stay inside. She wasn't in the mood to go hang out with ron and then again. Instead she hung out in carl's room reading on his bed. She wore one of his flannels with a tank top, leggings and fuzzy socks.
Her hair sat in a low ponytail with pieces of hair hanging out framing her face. Carl laid on the end is his head messing with a tennis ball. Willow was hanging out with carol today so abby had a full day of just her time.
"What do you wanna do today?" Carl asked her making her look up from her book.
"Not sure, I would love to go outside but deanna probably wouldn't let us." Abby say followed by a sigh.
"Why don't you asked? Maybe you can go hunting? Bring back a deer or a couple rabbits." Carl says as she puts down her book. Maggie was working with deanna so she could easily go ask.
"Fine." She says standing up.
"Do you wanna come with? I can teach you how to track some more." Abby says grabbing her bag.
"I'll probably go hang with ron or something." Carl says as she starts to take stuff out of her bag to make room. Carl's eyes fell on a tied up pile of pictures. He smiled and grabbed them.
"You still have all of these?" He asked as he starts to look at them.
"Yeah, I grabbed them before we left the prison." Abby says as carl stops at a picture of the two of them. They were making funny faces outside the prison. They both had on winter clothes making carl remember.
"Glenn took this picture." Carl says holding it up. Abby smiled and grabbed the picture.
"Yeah, we were headed back from fence duty. It was when he first found the camera." Abby says looking at it. They looked so different compared to now.
"Yeah and beth got blood all over her new shirt she just got." Carl says making the two laugh.
"Yeah, she went running inside after hoping carol could fix it." Abby says with a smile handing carl the picture back.
Carl just smiled and continued to look through pictures. Once abby was done she slips on her boots and swung her bag over her shoulder.
"Be careful." Carl says grabbing her hands.
"I will." Abby says with a smile before bending down and giving carl a kiss.
Carl gladly kissed back before abby pulled away. She smiled before walking out the room. The walk to deannas wasn't long. Once abby got there she opened the door to see her and maggie sitting at a table. "
Hey abby!" Deanna says standing up.
"What can I do for you?" She asked as abby walked closer to them.
"I was wondering if I could go hunt. Maybe bring back a deer for everyone." She says with a smile hoping she'd say yes. Deanna turned and looked at maggie who was smiling at abby.
"Maggie." She says letting maggie make the decision.
"Be back before sunset. Don't wonder too far." Maggie says as abbys face lit up.
"Ok! Thank you!" She says before running out and heading to the weapons locker. Olivia was there counting all their food.
"Going out?" She asked abby putting down her clip board.
"Yeah." Abby says with a smile.
Olivia walks over and unlocks the door for her. Abby then walks in and grabs all her weapons. Her knifes were in her bag so all she needed was her bow and arrows, her machete, and her hand gun. She grabbed some extra ammo just in case before hooking everything to her bag.
"All done?" Olivia asked as she walked out. Abby nodded as olivia locked the door again.
"Be safe." Olivia tells abby before heading back to count food. Abby then proceeds to head to the gate where a man stood on watch. He noticed abby and started to open the gate.
"Going hunting?" He asked as abby pulled out her bow.
"Yeah." She says with a smile.
"Well bring back something good." He tells her with a chuckle. She nods before heading into the woods.
Abby walked for a while tracking a deer. She had caught three rabbits already but was hoping to get the deer before heading back. It had only been around three hours so she still had a couple hours left before sunset.
She stopped carefully as the buck stood in front of her about twenty feet away. Abby pulled back and aimed. She took a deep breath before letting go and shooting the deer killing it.
"Yes!" Abby says putting her bow away and running over to the deer.
She grabbed her arrow and put it with the rest before tying the deer up. She then picked it up and started following her tracks back to Alexandria. Abby was glad there wasn't many walkers as she walked. She only had to kill around five the whole time she hunted.
"Damn this deer is big." She says struggling to carry it.
At least everyone would be happy to have some meat. The walk back felt like forever for abby as her arms started to get tried. Abby sighed and sat down on a tree stump placing the deer down. She caught her breath and looked around. It had started to become sunset and she was only around half way back. A twig snapping caught her attention making her pull out she gun. She turned to see another deer standing there eating some grass.
"Jackpot." She says quietly as she grabbed her bow.
This deer was smaller but was still big. She wished carl came with her so she had some help. She aimed her bow and let go of the arrow killing the other deer. Abby let out a small chuckle before running over to get the other deer. She carried this one over to the other one and sighed
. Abby wasn't sure how she was gonna be able to carry both of these. She sighed and took off her bag putting her bow away. She tied the smaller deer to her bag before carefully putting it on.
"Damn this is gonna be hard." Abby says as she bends down to grab the other deer. Once she was settled she started walking again.
"I'm gonna smack carl when I see him." Abby says out of breath as she walked.
She was glad she was able to get out and hunt but wasn't so glad about carrying the deers back. She soon was back at Alexandria making her smile. The sun has just set and darkness was filling the sky. They opened the gates and abby walked right in.
"Damn! Lucky day?" The man asked making abby chuckle slightly.
"Yeah." She says out of breath.
"Need a hand?" He asked as he closed the gate.
"No thanks, I got it." She says making her way back to the house.
Maggie sat nervously on the porch waiting for abby to get back. She immediately stood up once she saw abby carrying the deers clearly tried.
"You gonna help?" Abby asked with a small chuckle as maggie headed over to her to help. "You should have asked daryl to go with you." Maggie says grabbing the bigger deer from abbys hand.
"I'm a big girl." Abby says as maggie rolls her eyes before heading into the house. Everyone's eyes widened as they saw the two deers. Daryl quickly came over as they placed them on the table.
"Damn abby." He says as abby unties the deer from her bag.
"I'm skilled I know." Abby says with a smile pretending to flip her hair back.
Daryl rolled his eyes and grabbed the two deers taking them outside. Abby already knew daryl would probably spend all night breaking down the animals. Her eyes scanned the room looking for willow. She slept quietly on the floor next to sasha. Abby just smiled a headed outside.
"Got some rabbits for you too." She says placing the rabbits down.
He didn't say anything as he started. Abby knew daryl was a lot better at that than she was so she didn't mind. Plus, she knew daryl needed something.
"Nice job today." Rick says catching her attention making her turn around.
"Thanks, i'll take the rest of the meat to olivia tomorrow when I turn in my weapons." Abby says as rick nods.
She then headed inside as her feet hurt from walking. Carl sat on their bed waiting for her reading a comic. She plopped down and laid down.
"Tried?" Carl asked her as he put down his comic.
"Very much." Abby says followed by a yawn. Carl just chuckled and started playing with her hair. Abbys eyes soon felt heavy as sleep took over her body.
