My Rule

Chapter 16

Today was the day we were going to put up the new fence. That gate had to stretch around the whole prison, as our 7th gate that we needed. Plus, there were going to be walkers everywhere. Was I worried? No. Was I scared? No. Was I terrified?

Yes. Yes I was.

I got put of bed and put on my long sleeve purple shirt tucked into my blue jeans and my converse. I put my puffy black vest on and my hair up in a ponytail. I went downstairs and ate breakfast with Abraham and Rick. Everyone else was either already outside or gearing up. And I wanted to be with Carl or Maggie so I ate quickly.

After that I rushed down to the weapon room and grabbed my AK-47 and loaded it quickly. I saw Carl come in and he said he forgot something. He grabbed a small knife and started to walk out. "Wait!" I called. He walked back and asked what was wrong. I clicked my gun close and grabbed a small pistol and knife and walked out quickly saying, "I wanted to come with you." He smiled and kissed my head as we walked out together.

Once we got outside we saw Daryl, Rick, and Stephen already out there putting the gate up. But they only put about 7 up already, but we needed like 300. It was going to be a long day. Each person had a job to do. Two people would go inside and take care of Judith for at least half and hour, while everyone else had to stay outside. There were then 12 of us outside. Two of us had to stay together, one putting the fence up, and one guarding in case of any action.

My partner was Glenn, and we just talked the whole time really. I had to shoot down some of them before they got too close, though. I wonder what it's like to be one of them. I wonder what it's like when you turn, to constantly have one thing on your mind. Blood, guts, and brains. I always wonder if you still have your mindset when you're one of them. Like do you know where to go, and remember everything you had once? Or are you just a brainwashed bloodsucking killer? I wanted to know, but I don't want to become one.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a loud moan- moans I should say. Glenn was at the top of the gate and looked worried. "Don't worry Glenn!" I said shooting them down. They all started coming from the hills. "GUYS!!! THEY'RE COMING!" I yelled shooting them. Then I heard everyone shooting and all. Michonne swung her katakanas at them wildly, killing them. She was good with swords.

We retreated shooting them and they couldn't get past that gate. We went to the part where the gate wasn't up and started shooting for our lives. The walkers started to make their way around the side of the unfinished gate, and we all got worried. I shot everyone of them in sight, while the others frantically put up the gate.

Stephen had the last part and twisted and turned the lock to the point where it locked. "ITS DONE!" He yelled falling back. We all backed away from the gate and the walkers tried to grab us all. Tia started laughing and then we all started laughing hysterically.

We walked back and had a nice big dinner to celebrate the new gate. After that I showered and put on my night clothes with Carl. We got under the covers together and made out for a little while. Damn what this boy could do to me. We started to get tired.and he fell asleep on my stomach, and I felt asleep running my fingers through his hair.
