My Rule

Chapter 4

I woke up hearing someone mumbling. I turn over and look go see Carl shirtless and putting his clothes on. I gasped and slowly turned over not making a sound. I saw him put on his shirt. He had muscles everywhere. My heart was beating but he turned around and I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. I squinted and saw him strapping his gun to his belt and I saw him look at me. I closed my eyes and heard footsteps coming close. He rubbed my back and soothed my hair. I felt the bed sink and I heard him call my name. I pretended like I was just waking up. "Hey Lilly. You've got to get up." I nodded and he squeezed my hand and walked out. Wow.

I got out of bed and out on jeans with a black sleeve and white t shirt. I put my combat boots on and my hair in a ponytail. My ankle felt a lot better now. I walked down to breakfast and said down next to Maggie hugging her.

"Hey you ready to go kick some walker ass?" Daryl asked me. I laughed and nodded my head grabbing some bacon. I ate and we went to go gear up. I saw the weapon room and was easily impressed.

"Which one do you want?" Michonne asked me. I scanned every weapon they had. Axes, throwing knives, ninga swords, pistols, guns. I stopped and smiled. I grabbed the AK-47 and geared up.

I look.up and Rick asked me, "Are you sure?" I looked at him like he thought I was stupid, and took it and went outside. Maggie smirked laughing and said, "Now she's gonna show off guys." Maggie knew me too well.

I walked out and spotted some walkers stumbling towards me. I set the gun down and put fresh bullets in to the gun. I shut it and aimed for one. "Lilly be careful!" Carl yelled attempting to walk over to me but Maggie stopped him.

I looked back and looked at him weirdly. Then I look and see the first walker and fingered the trigger. I shot it and he went flying back. I spot more and start shooting them like crazy. They all flew back after getting shot in the head. I stopped after my last one and looked at my good work. There wasn't one in sight that I saw on this side of the prison.

I turned around and saw everyone clapping for me and smiling. Carl looked pretty impressed and I smiled walking back to them. "Well done Lilly. Not many people can do that." Rick said. I smiled and then we got assigned partners. Guess who mine was?

Carl.

We walked up to the gate and started killing walkers. I walked with my gun while shooting them. I felt them try to grab me but I kicked them in the faces. I turn around and feel myself being pulled to the ground.

"DAMMIT!" I yelled as the walkers tried to eat my leg. I kept kicking them with my bad ankle and knew I was going to hurt it again. I kept trying to fight back the pain while trying to reach my gun. I felt them buying on my shoe, and I got scared. I don't like asking for help, but I needed it.

"CARL!!" I yelled. He looked over at me and he ran over to me shooting them in the heads I grabbed his arms and he pulled me away. We started running and I felt my ankle twist and I fell.

"Agh!" I yelled. Carl grabbed me and helped me up. "It hurts!" I said. He held my side as I limped quickly. I gave up and he gave me his gun and picked me up and ran with me. Damn he was strong.

We ran back to the prison and he set me down. We panted breathlessly. "Damn you need to be careful!" He yelled. "It's not my fault!" I yelled back. "Really, because you're the one who thinks she's all cool with an AK-47, but almost gets bit by walkers." "You know not everyone can be as perfect as you, you little asshole!" I said. He got up in my face and said, "IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, YOU WOULDN'T BE FUCKING ALIVE!" "WELL MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP!" I spat. "WELL THEN NEVER ASK ME FOR IT EVER AGAIN!" He spat. "FINE THEN!" I yelled walking away. I met up with Maggie and she helped me wrap up my ankle and she asked me how my day was.

"Well let's see, I almost died, number one." I said sarcastically. She laughed and pulled me up hugging me. "Number two Carl and I had a disagreement." She asked me what happened I told her. "You know he gets overprotective about the people or things he loves." She said smiling. "Yea well I'm sure I'm not either one of those.

I walked down to dinner and ate there. It felt very self conscious because Carl was staring at me the whole time. I ignored him. He made me angry.

I took a nice long hot shower and then went to my bed. Carl came in but I rolled over and ignored him.

"We have a supply run in the morning. Get up early." He spat. "Well maybe I don't want to." I mumbled. "You have too. My dad's orders." He said climbing up to his bed. "Since when do I have to listen to your dad?" I sat up asking him from above. He leaned over and said, "If you want to live, then I'd suggest you get up early tomorrow morning."

I rolled my eyes and flipped on my pillow.
