My Rule

Chapter 56

I woke up with Carl on my back in his bed. We got dressed. We matched! We both wore a black and white plaid shirt and green jeans with our combat boots. We ate breakfast in his house and got to work in the towers.

Brianna and Mickey were in one tower across from us and Zach was on the wall. We were all talking and making jokes. Carl also danced with me. He twirled me around and I laughed out loud. I saw Enid down in one of the towers with Tia. The weren't talking to each other. Tia didn't like Enid after she tried to kill me. Pretty much no one did. It's not right, but she tried to hurt me.

(A/N: Tia is Tara in the walking dead for me. When I first started watching it I thought her name was Tia, but it was Tara. Just know when I say Tia I mean Tara.)

Tia afterward went with Michonne to go look for deer. It was getting warmer but not quite. The snow had completely melted, but the sogginess from the snow had still made a mess of the ground. Also my shoes.

I went with Brianna and we trained in the arena for a bit. I have gotten a lot stronger from this. It shows too. My stomach has flattened a lot, my arms and legs have gotten more muscular, and I feel better about myself.

Brianna and I heard all of a sudden a lot of yelling and screaming. We gathered our things and ran to see what was happening. Sure enough, Pete and Rick were at it again. Pete was drunk, as always, and had a knife in his hand.

And if you don't know, alcohol and weapons don't mix.

Pete kept ranting on about how Rick wasn't one of them, how we should've died, and all this swearing. He stumbled closer. He looked like a walker too. I was scared.

Deanna tried to calm him down and put an end to it. Pete then slit her husband's throat. We all gasped as blood poured out if his throat and Deanna crying and keeping him close.

One of the Alexandria men pulled Pete to the ground.

"He's not one of us! He's not one of us!" He said about Rick. Rick was calm, cool, and collected during all this. After the guy stopped breathing, Deanna said something I would never think she would.

"Rick.... do it! Do it now!" She cried and growled in pain and anguish.

Rick pulled out his gun and shot Pete straight in the head.

We all gasped and that was that. No more Pete. People disposed of his body and we all went back to our houses. I stayed at Rick's house with everyone else and we tried to get our mind off things.
