Carl and Glenn were at an old gas station. They were searching around for some gas. They saw a bunch of dead bodies in the cars. Carl found a gas tank and picked it up, they were gonna continue the search when they all of a sudden heard a voice,
"Hi," It said.
Right when they heard it, Carl dropped the gas on the ground got out his gun, Glenn did the same thing. They still heard the guy talking, but they couldn't see him. Carl and Glenn walked closer to the voice with their weapons still out. Carl got close to the ground to see if he could see them from under there, he saw the leg of the person talking. He then ran over to the man, pointing his gun at him.
"Hands up!" Carl snapped at him, with Glenn running behind to see what the problem was. The man got up and put both his hands up in the air.
"Listen, " the man started, "I'm cool, I'm cool, I just wanted some food!"
"We can get you some-!" Glenn started when all of a sudden, they heard a gunshot.
BANG!
The three of them looked over to see who was shooting the gun, but it kept shooting at the man.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The man started to run away from them when they finally saw the figure who was shooting, it was Rick! Glenn and Carl walked over to him,
"We're supposed to meet at the inner section." he told them, Glenn and Carl looked angry at him, "I shot over his head! He needed to be gone!"
"He said he needed food!" Glenn snapped at him,
"I heard what he said." Rick said, "Well, most of it. He could've been one of them."
"That's why?" Carl asked, pissed off at his father,
"I shot over his head." he reminded them, "If he isn't one of them, I hope he makes it."
"That's not gonna be enough dad!" Carl snapped at his father,
"Enough what?" Rick asked.
Carl didn't even look back at his father, "Hope." He answered walking away, Glenn gave Rick a glare,
"What the hell was that about?!" Glenn snapped
"What do you mean? I didn't do anything!"
"All he needed was food, he didn't do anything wrong."
"How many times do I have to say this? I. Shot. Over. His. Head." Rick reminded him another time, and with that, Glenn left Rick by himself, extremely pissed off.
A few days later...
It has been days since Glenn and Carl have seen the man, Carl was in the woods again searching for him, hoping he was alright.
"I hope he's alright." Carl said to himself, 'Wait a second... I think I see something.' he thought to himself, 'A walker trap!' he saw a plastic bag in a tree, with a walker stuck in the trap, he then saw a familiar figure, it was the man he and Glenn saw a few days ago! The man killed the walker with his knife,
"Hey!" Carl called out to the man, the man looked at
him, scared of what was gonna happen next,
"Don't be afraid, " Carl said, walking up to him with food and water in his hand, "That was my dad, those were warning shots over your head. He wasn't trying to shoot you." he continued, letting him know that he wasn't gonna hurt him, "I'm Carl." he introduced,
"Siddiq," the man said.
"Here's some food and water." Carl said, showing him the food and the water bottle that was in his hand,
"Why?" Siddiq asked, getting suspicious,
"You said you needed some, " he reminded him, "I thought maybe we could help you." that's when Carl remembered something else, "I also heard you say something about what your mom said." Carl added, "My mom once said, 'Always do what's right.' it may not seem right, but if it's to help someone else, then I think it's the right thing." and with that, Carl threw the plastic bag at Siddiq, hoping he would expect it.
Siddiq walked over to it, ripped the bag open, and started to drink the water that was given to him. He then looked up at the two, "Thanks." he said,
"I'm glad I found you." Carl told him, honestly,
"You guys were looking for me?" Siddiq asked, shocked about what he just heard.
"Of course!" he said, "My and I are part of a community." he told him, "You have all these traps set up for these walkers." Carl said, "Why?"
"My mom once said that killing these walkers would free their souls..." Siddiq admitted,
"Doesn't that make things harder for you to kill them?" Carl asked,
"I mean, you gotta honor your parents, you know what I mean?" Siddiq asked,
"If I wasn't honoring my dad then I wouldn't be here." Carl admitted. "Let's go." and with that, they started to walk off. The two of them were going back to Alexandria when all of a sudden, they saw some walkers that were eating a dead horse. Siddiq got his knife of and killed some, and so did Carl. Carl was killing a few more when all of a sudden he got attacked. The walker pushed him onto the dead horse, Carl tried his best to escape but all air a sudden, he heard a gunshot.
BANG!
The walker collapsed and Carl was able to make his escape. Siddiq ran over to Carl to check on him,
"Are you ok?" He asked,
"Yeah," He told him, "I'm fine, but who was that?" The two of them turned around to see where the gunshot came from and saw a familiar figure, it was Glenn!
"You found him." Glenn said, happy that Siddiq was alright, "I'm glad-!" Glenn was gonna day more but then he got attacked by a walker, the same way Carl just did. Glenn was trying to get the walker off of him but something happened. He saw another walker on his side, Carl and Siddiq noticed the other walker,
"NO!" Carl screamed, running over to Glenn, he stabbed the walker that was on his side right in the head while Siddiq got the other walker that was on top of Glenn. Glenn got away from the now dead walkers, with blood on his shirt.
"Are you ok?" Siddiq asked,
"Yeah," Glenn answered, "I'm fine."
"Ok, now let's head back." Carl said, "Oh, and Glenn, thanks for saving me, if it weren't for you I'd be dead right now."
Glenn smiled at Carl, "Anytime." He said, "Now let's get back to Alexandria." Carl and Siddiq nodded, following Glenn and walked back to the community.
Later that day...
Right as the three boys got to Alexandria, Glenn quickly excused himself to go back to Hilltop,
"Guys, I'll catch up with you guys later." Glenn told them, "I have to meet up with Maggie there." he lied, Carl and Siddiq nodded, believing him.
"We'll see you later." Carl said,
With that, Glenn rushed back to the Hilltop. He went into his bathroom, took off his shirt, and saw something on his side, it was a walker bite,
"Shit!" he mumbled to himself. Glenn quickly cleaned up the bite and put a bandage over it. He quickly put on a new shirt on as if nothing ever happened. Glenn knew at this point that he was gonna die soon. He got out some papers and a pen and started to write letters to his family and some of his friends. He was writing one for Maggie, Rick, Carl, and most of all, his child, Hershel Jr. Glenn knew his son wouldn't be able to remember him because of how young he was. Glenn finished his letters and put them away safely.
'If today's my last day to live, then I'll make it count. I'll spend all my time with Maggie and Hershel Jr as much as I can.'
