Leaving For The Run

Daryl and i were getting ready to leave, he was packing some stuff into a bag while i went to go say bye to carl, he was playing with two girls, one was sophia and the other one eliza.

Sophia was a shy girl, she was 12,two years older then carl and eliza i didnt know how old she was but she was moraleses daughter.

Carl saw me and ran up to me, i smiled and signed to him that im going away for two or three days then he signed back ok and then be carefull.

Before walking away i signed back to carl 'hey lil bro, i didnt realise you were so popular with the girls'

He gave me a dirty look before laughing and re-joining the two girls with coloring.

As i finished saying bye to dale, glenn and amy (who recently became my new friend since she was 16 aswell) my mum walked up to me and stopped with her arms folded infront of me, unfortunetly she had realised i was avoiding her.

She began signing,

'Harper you are not going on that run for two reasons, 1 you dont have any weapons AND you will not have any weapons 2 you have some explaining to do' she finished signing as she looked at thw bruise on my cheek then over to shane who also had a green bruise across his face.

Unfortunetly for her i didnt want to be lectured, i felt glenn pulling me away, he told mum that daryl wanted to go now, he was lying, we werent meant to leave for another hour, but good ol' glenn saves the day.

I signed thanks to glenn before going off to find daryl anyway.

I got to the three lonely tents by the edge of the woods, daryl's, merle's and mine.

I sat on the floor outside daryls tent as i waited for him the finish sharpening his arrows and saying by to merle, who was also going on a run, but not hunting, a supply run into the city (atlanta) along with t-dog, moraleses, andrea and glenn.

Another 30 minits had past before me and daryl set of into the woods.

When we were a couple of miles away daryl stopped me before digging around in his bag and pulling out a wrapped up cloth, he pulled open the cloth to reveal a gun, a holset and a knife.

He handed them to me before putting his finger to his lips inficating that i was secretly supposed to use them. I smiled and hugged him, he was a good friend.

We continously walked for hours until finding a spot in the woods to camp, we were hoping to find atleast one squirrel to eat on the first day so unfortunatley we only packed two tins of spaghetti hoops.
