All the screams continue. I'm the only one who doesn't know what happened. I try to move my legs over. Alright. The hard part's over. Now-

I fall back down on my bed grasping my abdomen. "Son of a" I grunt in frustration. Come on Iris. You can do this. The running aroud, screams and cries cause my curiosity to only grow.

You can't let this stop you. Now get up. I repeat in my head. I try one more time to where I am able to stand but hunching over. "Crap" I yell in pain. I bite my lip as i bend down to grab my gun and knife. I manage to walk out of my cell and people are running out of the prison.

"What's happening?!" I yell but everyone ignores me. Fear is building up inside me. I just need to get outside. People are bumping into me as i wall not caring that im injured. I need to know now.

I grab a random person's arm. "Tell me what's going on damn it!"

The older women is scared of me but still speaks out. "The governor shot at the prison. We have to get to the bus." Before i can ask any questions she runs out.

The governor? I try my best to walk out until I see for myself. On the other side of the fence is Hershel and Michonne nealed down with a sword against his neck and Rick in the middle of the yard. I worry see him out by himself like that. Is this guy really as bad as they depicted?

I can't just stand here. I make my over to Daryl. "Hand me a gun."

"Get on the bus with the others. It's too dangerous for you."

"I'm not going to stand here when i have working hands damn it! He needs all the arms we can get!" I yell. He stares at me at first then gives me a m4. "You sure you can do this?" I hesitate but im doing this to protect the prison. I may not know this governor but i will do anything to protect my people.

I kneel down hiding the pain the best i can from Carl and Drayl who are next to me. We keep on waiting and waiting until this governor does something unbelievable. He lifts Michonne's katana and slices Hershels head off. It is as if everything goes in slow motion. Everyone is screaming and yelling as shots are firing off. That is i see Rick get shot.

I lift my gun and start shooting, forgetting every person i killed brutally in the past. It doesn't matter anymore. "We have to help him!" Tears stream down my face of hurt. "Rick is dying out there!" I yell again. But no one hears me over the shots.

He's got this. He's got this. I repeat over in my head. Although, I don't believe it. I shoot two more people but that doesn't stop the tank that came through.

"Iris get on the damn bus!" Daryl yells at me. "I can't lose you guys! I cant Daryl-"

"We'll find you. Just please get to the bus" He places an arm on my shoulder but that doesn't fix the fact that Rick could be dead and so could Carl. For God sakes i cant even find my own brother.

I nod my head, finally agreeing even though it hurts to leave them.

Bullets try to strike me as i make my way to the bus. That is, it leaves before i can even get on. "Stop!" I yell but they don't. Walkers thay used to be people i knew try to make me their next meal. What did i get myself into?

I automatically start shooting in my defence. Little kids are now turned to wallers. Parents. The elderly. I take one last look at the field for any of my loved ones.

Please be alive. I need you guys.
