The Walking Dead - The Darkest Days *being rewritten*

7. Sheriff Boy

"Please let me go" I begged Jennette. She shook her head "it's dangerous, it's ok I'll be going I'll fill you in I promise" Jennette said going inside the car.

The car drove off shortly followed by Daryl's motorcycle. I sighed in defeat. I knew she was right but I hated her for it. I went inside the prison and went over to Sheriff Boy, Beth and an old man.

"Hey" I said quietly. The old man looked up at me and smiled lightly "Hey, I'm Hershel"He answered. "Lilly" I said back.

I then heard some screaming. "Who's that?" I said worried. "Carol?" Beth said. Hershel shook is head "no she's on look out with Axel"Hershel said. "I'm going to check it out" Sheriff boy said.

Hershel stopped him "no it's dangerous"Hershel said.

"They will die before you guys sort this out" I say and turn on my heel and took Sheriff boys hand and pulled him away.

"Why'd you do that?" Carl asked as he looked for the source of the screaming. " I don't know, I don't want more people to die I guess" I answered.

"What's your name anyways, Sheriff boy?" I asked. He shook his head "Carl" He answered. "There!" I shouted seeing people attack zombies. We ran to them taking out some. "Come on!" I shouted. They stare for a moment but followed us.

We reached the cell block and we locked them in a part of it. "We need to wait for Rick to come back I'm sorry" I said to the woman before I walked back.

It was night everyone was sleeping except me. I got up and crept into Carl's cell. He was asleep on the be his gun on the floor.

I picked it up delicately and crept out. I ran out into the courtyard and climbed over the fence and ran in the direction where Rick and Daryl had left.

It was hours and my feet were bloody and sore. I then heard a rustle in the bushes. I turned around pointing my gun. It was Sheriff boy I mean Carl. "Did you follow me?" I asked him.

"You took my gun.." He moaned.

"Oh, It was the only one I could find" I said giving it back to him.

"What are you doin' out 'ere anywas?" Carl questioned.

"They've been gone a long time, I was worried that, that...they would've died......"I mourned wanting to cry saying that word.

"I'll come with you" Carl reassured.

"You sure?" I asked.

"I'm already out here ain't I?" He replied cheekily. I smiled and we continued to walk.

"What was Amber like?" Carl asked.

"She...she was like the mother I never had y'know"I told him.

"She always told me that before all this started her and her friend went hunting, they spent loads of time together" I told him.

"What was her friends name?" Carl asked.

"Daryl Dixon" I said simply.

"That's Our Daryl...."Carl replied.

"What?" I said and stopped.

"That's Daryl's second name 'Dixon' " Carl explained.

I began to piece things together in my mind. I was really close with Amber and she just happened to off found me. She had a really close relationship with Daryl. Daryl is really over protective of me. I'm an orphan so. They are my parents. I have a farther. I never really was close with my foster parents so I ever really knew what it be like to have a parent.

"You alright?" Carl asked.

I looked at him and smiled "Yeah just tired" I answered.

"Maybe we should stop, we can head back to the prison in the morning" He answered.

I nodded. We made a campfire and I went to sleep first while Carl kept watch.

Authors note - Daryl has not been captured in this story

Jennette P.O.V

I got out the car as we arrived back at the prison. As we walked into the courtyard a worried Beth came out holding the baby which Rick had told me was named Judith.

"Rick! Carl and Lilly are gone!!!"She screamed. We ran inside ignoring the new people we pushed through to get to the cells. Rick ran into Carl's room he slapped the wall angrily "his guns gone, he probably went looking for you" Carol answered.

Daryl walked over he had been delayed because he was on his motorcycle. "What happened?"Daryl asked.

"Carl and Lilly are missing"Carol told him. His face flushed with worry and I had figured out why.

"We need to look for 'em" Daryl pitched. "They ain't stupid they will probably of set up camp and will be back in the morn' for the safety for everyone here we need to look in the morning" I said wisely.

"She's right" Rick finally spoke his head on the cold wall. "Rick it's Carl-" Daryl protested.

"You don't think I know that!" Rick snapped.

"Every fibre of my being wants to go look for him but we can cover more ground in the light!" He shouted.

I sighed an walked into my cell and I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight.
