~GRIMES~

17

In the morning we cleared out the walkers in the other fields and start trying to get inside the prison, we get inside a cell block, while having to kill a few walkers in the process, though for a prison it was nice there, we all picked out what cell we wanted to stay in, I was in a cell with mom while Carl and dad were in another one, I placed my one belonging, my stuffed bunny on my bed as I left the cell, "I like this place" Eloise says smiling from ear to ear.

Eloise,Carl and I sat on the ground talking to each other while dad,daryl,Glenn,Maggie and hershel sent to clear out the other parts of the prison, suddenly we heard a scream, we all turned around to the direction of the scream, a few minutes after we heard the scream dad and the other come into the cell block with Hershel unconscious with his leg missing, we all gasped when we saw it, Eloise jumped up from her spot as she run to the cell where they placed hershel, a few seconds later she was joined by Maggie and Beth, I ran after her watching what was happening, "he was bit so we cut off his leg" dad quietly said "there's survivors in the cafeteria" Daryl grunted, 'survivors? We're they good or bad?' I thought.

As time passed Eloise never let her eyes leave her unconscious father, I was worried for her too, it seemed like she never left her seat next to him, she sat in the same spot for the whole day as she held his hand.
Dad and the others had cleared out the showers, I walked down the cold hallway towards the showers, mom made me take a small knife just in case, when I got to the shower I looked in the mirror, I looked older than I thought I was, I still had childish features but I look more mature than I did at the farm, I peeled off my clothes as I stepped into the hot water, I tried to run my fingers though my knotted hair as water ran though my hair, I scratched at my skin trying to get the dirt and dry blood that was caked onto my skin, I saw some old shampoo on the floor of the shower, after my shower I started trying to brush the knots out of my hair with a small comb I found on the bench, after a while I had gotten all the knots out but lost quite a lot of hair in the process.

As I walked back to the cell block Eloise ran up to me with a huge smile painted on her face, "daddy's awake!" She tells me cheerfully, relief washed over me knowing that hershel was okay,
For the rest of the day Carl, Eloise and I sat in Eloise's cell talking to eachother, everything was ok, and for once we were all happy, could this really be our new home, it felt too good to be true.
