My Rule

Chapter 11

I woke up to some screaming and lots of noises. I quickly sat up and put on my boots and ran out with my gun. I look to my side and see Glenn running telling me to come and some walkers coming straight towards me.

I bolted after him and shot some of them behind me. I bumped into a few walls and then banged my ankle. Why was it always that one ankle?

I ran into the kitchen and saw everyone else flipping over the table and I jumped over and into it. They all started to come in and we shot them. My AK-47 was full and I shot them in the head every time not missing one.

After they stopped coming in and the last bullet was shot, we looked through the hallways and saw no more walkers. The guys cleaned up the bodies and burned them outside while us girls cleaned up the mess. I tried to calm Judith down but she kept crying. Maggie came in and sat down next to me.

"Still not gonna calm down are ya?" She said to Judith.

"Maggie, I swear I've tried everything! Her bottle, her toys, her pacifier. Nothing is working."

"Have you sung to her yet?" She asked. Wow. I didn't think of that.

I start singing the first line of Drunk In Love by Beyonce.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ooooooooooooooo. " I kept repeating.

She kept crying but calmed down after that. I hummed the song and then heard Carol and Carl come in.

"Ah, sweet melodies brings me back a little while." She said. I smiled and Carl came and sat down next to me. "I'm glad I got her before they got her." He said. That made me a little angry. "Carl, I told you she was with me you didn't have to go get her. You should've looked out for yourself." That made me even angrier.

"You mean you went to go save her when you knew that there were walkers in the prison but you didn't get me?" I said softly.

He looked at me confused. "What?" He asked.

I started to raise my voice. "I said you mean you went to go save someone who you knew was being protected already and you didn't bother to get me?!" I got up and gave Judith to Maggie and stood in front of Carl.

"No, I wasn't sure she was safe or not and I didn't know there were walkers in the prison." He said raising his tone a little.

"How could you not think there were?! No, let me ask you a better question- HOW COULD YOU FORGET TO WAKE ME UP?!" I yelled.

Maggie came over to me. "Lilly, calm down, now." She said. I pushed her off me and made my way over to Carl.

"JOW COULD YOU JUST FORGET THAT I WAS IN THE SAME FUCKING ROOM AS YOU, AND YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO WAKE ME UO WHEN I COULD'VE BEEN IN TROUBLE?" He got up and started yelling at me. "I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE FUCKIMG WALKERS IN THE PRISON! SHE IS MY SISTER LILLY AND SHE IS A BABY!"

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO WAKE ME UP AND SAY THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT WE WERE IN DANGER! I WOULD'VE WOKEN YOU UP! I WOULD'VE MADE SURE YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON I WOULD WAKE UP AND TELL THAT WE WERE IN DANGER! KNOW WHY? BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FUCKING ROOMATE AND THATS WHAT WE ROOMATES DO HERE!" I screamed. He grabbed my hand and said, "Were taking this into another room."

I pulled away and punched him in the cheek. Everyone gasped and he got up and pulled me into the wall making me hit my face. We started fighting. I ran over to him and started punching him and he kept slapping my arms away. I fell slightly but got up and ran to him pushing him onto the table and knocking the table over with us falling down.

Rick and Daryl came and pulled us apart and Daryl threw me into a big open room. "Stay in there and don't come out until you're ready to apologize. Rick threw Carl into the room straight in front of me and he said the same thing to him. I grabbed an axe and started throwing it across the room screaming. I kept throwing it making dents and spaces into the stone walls. Carl tried to break the bars but they were solid.

We eventually stopped our tantrums and I slid down the wall crying into my lap. I kept remembering My Rule and then it made me feel even worse. I was cold and felt terrible. I had a huge headache from all the fighting and noises that went on. I breathed slowly and slowly looked over at Carl. He had his head in his lap and sniffed a couple times.

Soon they brought us dinner and we ate. When John was done it was already dark so I just made myself comfortable and fell asleep on the stone cold grounds.
