Just A Newcomer - Carl Grimes

Chapter 2

(Ellie's Outfit In Picture!)

/ Carl's POV /
I watch as the bus unloads people of different sizes, races, and genders. Everyone is being forced to sign a form to join the group. Im not the youngest anymore, since judith was born, and all the other kids came.

I walk into the main cellblock, where the forms were being signed. i walk over, and see a girl. Her red hair glimmered through the summer sun as she walked closer to me, but not noticing me.

She looks over with a blank face. I want to smile, but I return the face.

/ Ellie's POV /
I was a assigned a certain cell, which felt somewhat like being in a hotel. Everyone scuffled along, talking and laughing, as I felt like the weirdo.

I find my cell, which is up a set of stairs, and put my bag down. "Well. Home sweet home." I whisper, slowly laying down on the bed. I hear cries next to me, and I sit up, curious.

I walk out of my cell, the sun hitting my skin. There's a nice breeze flowing through the broken windows as I walk to the source of the crying.

I finally stop at a small cell where a blonde girl and a small baby were resting. The girl was singing to the child, which was something I havent seen in forever. I stood in the doorway for a minute, listening to the singing. The girl looked up, and jumped. "H-Hi, im Beth." she said in a small, quiet voice. "I'm Ellie. Your singing is beautiful." I told her, smiling. "Thank you." she said a bit louder. "My mama sang to me when I was young. She taught me how to sing.

I smile. "Thats nice." I say, sitting next to her. "Is-Is this your baby? or someone else's?" I ask. "It was Lori's. Lori Grimes."

Right when she says "Grimes", i remember Carl. "Uh, this may be quite random to ask, and sorry I have so many questions, but Carl, was Lori his mother?" I ask. "Yes, she was. She passed away im childbirth." Beth replies. "I-Ill be back." I mutter. I hear a faint "Okay" come from her. I walk out my cell, and go out to find Carl.
