My Rule

Chapter 25

I woke up tied to a tree. Maggie and Glenn were also tied to one. Some guy was beating up Daryl and Michonne was tied kneeling on the ground. Rick had a guy holding him and he was trying to talk to him. But when I saw Carl I felt myself shaking in anger.

Some fat dude was either trying to kill him or rape him. I didn't know what was what, but I did know that that guy was going to die. One way or another.

I let out a big scream and ripped through the ropes I was tied in. I fell and I ran over to Carl. I was about to reach him when I was pushed to the ground. I tried fighting him off. I punched him in the face and kicked him. He rolled off me and I ran back to Carl. He grabbed my leg and pulled me back to him.

Carl was screaming my name and trying to grab the knife to kill him. The guy punched me in the nose and I screamed. Oh shit that hurt. The repeatedly punched and slapped me in the face but I finally kneed him in the stomach and he flew back in pain. I ran back to Carl and tried to give him the knife. He almost got it but the gut pulled me back into him, beating me up again.

I tried to kick and everything, but nothing was working. The guy tried to stab me in the face, and I tried dodging him. I slapped him and he again attempted to stab me in the face. I grabbed the knife by the blade and tried pushing it away. I felt the blood trickle down my hands. This hurt a lot.

I looked over at Carl who was now face down crying, Daryl getting beat up harder, Michonne still on the ground, and Rick in a chokehold by Joe.

"Look around," he said, "Daryl's gonna get beaten to death, Michonne will die, Lilly will be stabbed to death, and your son....". "Let them go." Rick said one last time before I saw him do something I would never expect to happen in my life.

Rick bit Joe in the neck.
