You and I (carl grimes fanfic)

Chapter 19

I rushed down the street, lunging up to where Rick is.

I knocked on the door and walked inside, seeing Rick leaning on the wall in a bed.

"Are they gonna kick me out?" He asked. 

"We won't let them." I answered, looking around. "Why are they keeping you in here? I mean, Pete gets Michonne's place and you get a room." 

"They probably think I'm insane." Rick responded, shifting in his bed.

I rolled my eyes, letting out a huff. 

"Well, I hope you get better." I muttered as I walked out of the room.

I stalk down the street, turning into a wolf.

I quickened my pace to a lope, the sunlight warm on my back.

***

Carl and Enid ran out of the gates.

I was perched on porch railing, tail moving back and forth.

Probably to go and goof off more. I flattened my ears and looked away.

But, movement caught my eye.

Carl was looking back in, and his eyes locked with mine.

He gestured for me to follow.

I sighed, pushed myself to my paws, and hopped off the porch.

I ran towards him, slipping through the small opening in the gates.

I flicked my ears and looked up at Carl, waiting for a sufficient explanation.

"They're gonna have that meeting tonight about my dad. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how we can get him out of trouble? And I know you like to go out into the woods." Carl explained.

I snorted, and turned human. "I don't have any ideas, and I don't think she likes me very much," My eyes flicked to Enid, who was kicking around in the dirt. 

"So? I want you to come with me!" Carl practically whined, jutting out his hand. 

I sighed, and turned back into a wolf. 

Carl grinned proudly, and we ran into the woods.

***

I crept into the meeting.

It was late at night.

Glenn, Nicholas, and Rick were missing.

Practically, most of the important people of my group.

There was a fire crackling in between Rick's group and and the Alexandria residence.

I narrowed my eyes, looking at Deanna.

Ugh.

Suddenly, I hear a footstep.

Rick stumbles into the little meeting, dropping a walker body on the ground.

He was covered in blood.

"I found this inside the gates." Rick said, looking around.

"What? That's not possible!" Someone blurted.

Deanna looked at the guard. "I told Gabriel to shut it!" And then he ran off.

I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly there was another footstep.

I growled, seeing Pete stumble into the area.

He had Michonne's katana.

"Rick!" He slurred, swinging the katana around.

"Pete!" Jesse gasped, stepping backwards.

Pete whipped towards her voice, slashing the katana across Reg's throat.

"Reg!" Deanna cried, grabbing her husband as he fell to the ground.

Rick slammed Pete on the ground, putting a foot on his chest.

Reg choked, grasping at his throat.

Blood leaked through his hands, and ran down his neck and onto the ground.

And Deanna.

I stood up, knocking my chair to the ground, lunging for Pete.

I took Rick's place, baring my teeth.

"Do it," I barely heard Deanna's command as I sank my teeth into his throat.
