Chapter XI-People and their decision problems
Now I remembered why I didn't want to be around people, I've been here for half an hour, and I'm going to freak out, it all started after the fight in the lagoon.
After Shane finished beating the man, I finished my shower and accompanied Merle back to camp, there I tried to socialize with other people without being the sarcastic crazy person I saved, and until it worked I managed to make a small friend with Amy and talk a little with his sister Andrea.
Amy is really nice, but her sister is a bit stuck up, but it's not something difficult to deal with, I also talked to Jacqui, the sweet lady, she was questioning if I was okay with being around Merle, according to her, he's not the easiest person to talk to. dealing, which I don't really agree with, people just don't know how to deal with sarcasm and the comments he makes very well.
I even questioned him about the comments he makes about people, and he simply said it's the best way to keep people away, apparently none of the Dixon's are social people, I think it was fate that I found Merle, you know, antisocial tend to meet more people ease.
But back to the main subject, everything was fine, I played with the children and even talked to Carol, I gave her some ointment for the bruise on her face (if she used it on her stupid husband it's a waste) until unfortunately the bee The queen got tired of fighting with her lackey and came to bother me, which is why she saw me handing the ointment to Carol and came to ask about my things.
Irritated snort!
Unfortunately for her and fortunately for me, Merle was nearby, I was defended by an adult who had no obligation to do this for the first time in my life, it was emotional, very emotional, so much so that I hugged Merle's arm showing my gratitude...
He pushed me at the end, barely anything to hurt and left mumbling about little flowers with no balls.
I'm not offended, maybe I should?
Okay, I'm not going to get hung up on that, now as if the queen bee wasn't enough, his lackey came to “talk” about me not being a dead weight for him and the others, but for the others from what I heard he doesn't go for a walk I was in town to pick up some supplies. I answered him calmly, taking all the eloquence that Hermione and Luna had infused into my mind and answered him in those exact words “you have nothing to worry about, I'm quite capable of going into town to pick up some supplies. But I believe there is no need for me to go now, as four people who can carry a weapon effectively are out there leaving some casualties in their protection!” I still had the ability to smile sweetly and say goodbye before he could reason out everything I had said.
I'm sure I heard Merle laugh loud and boisterous from where he was sitting cleaning up some squirrels, people who didn't hear what I said must think he's finally lost his mind.
Other than that the rest of the day was peaceful, until night came...... Damn time I joined a group.
We were around the campfire, talking normally or as normal as one can be in these situations, the night was cold and calm, the group members were exchanging funny stories while warming up, I was a little far away with Amy, she was telling me some things about the school, and Merle was sitting against a tree a few feet away (which I really appreciate, the barely concealed looks I'm getting are freaking me out!). When Amy stood up and Andrea questioned her, my magic fluttered furiously over my skin, making me completely nervous, it reminds me of the feeling I felt when Dudley chased me.
Rubbing my arms to warm up the area I get up and walk over to Merle and sit down next to him, his big booming presence makes me comfortable enough but doesn't take away my nervousness.
Merle noticed my nervousness and questioned me, but before I could explain anything, a stomach-chilling scream ran through the clearing, all the people who were spread around the fire jumped up in fright, drawing my sword and I put myself in attack position.
Looking around I finally see the reason for the scream, one of the survivors of the group ran to the center of the clearing completely bloody, one of her hands was on her neck behind her infected crawled in search of meat, the woman collapses to the ground and is Soon surrounded by the infected, everyone panics, some run like cockroaches running away from death, others try to defend themselves.
I've already lost count of how many heads I've had to hit. Amy is now next to me along with the little girl Sophia, Carol is behind Lori and a few others, in the middle of all the panic and chaos a group of four men arrived. It took until dawn, we had five casualties, luckily Carol's husband's pig along with us.
Now I'm with the kids and Amy in the trailer on Merle's orders, because according to him, I have to rest, and it would be better for me to stay with Amy because of the trauma she must have suffered from being painfully almost killed, I agreed with her and her. First Muggle friend I have, and I will value her friendship for the rest of my life (if she doesn't do anything wrong).
I'm sitting with Sophia, she's lying on my lap while I play with her hair, Sophia is sniffling softly with sadness, Carl is with Amy playing chess, outside the others are removing the bodies.
Time break
The clearing was already completely clean, the bodies of the strangers were burned and those of the group were buried with a small ceremony, now we are trying to decide where we are going, Rick the sheriff and the guy who handcuffed Merle to the roof want to go to the CCD and Shane wants to Go to the Fort Benning refugee center, both options seem like shit, but I don't have much to say since I've only been here for a day, and I honestly don't want to get involved in their leadership dispute.
Sighing I lean against Merle's truck and observe the situation from afar, Merle and his brother Daryl were talking in a corner a little away.
Speaking of Daryl, I don't have much to say about him, we talked a little after the funeral, and he thanked me for saving his brother, actually it was more like grunting and nodding, but it was actually nice I think it was a good At first, it would be strange for me to get along with his brother and for him to hate me.
Tired of just watching people argue, I go back to the trailer and sit down with Sophia and Carl to draw with them.
This will take time.........
