Our First Time

Ella’s POV

~The interview~ 

“Hey I’m Deana is it okay if I record this interview?” Deana had an eager stare. I nodded “Now Ella, I talked to Daryl and he mention you and an another sister. May I say you interest me?” she stared deep in my eyes. “How” I asked, “You’re strong, brave, fast, I almost feel like you are hiding something.” She stared more. I shook my head “Ma’am you have it backwards, I’m the weakest one out the group, part of a coward.” I stated, “You are more then you think” she smiled. “Daryl told me about you just a little” I gulped “what did he tell you.” “He said you are a warrior of strength, you fight even with out a giving, but when it comes to family you don’t fight them” I nodded to her words.  “Ma’am I’m really not that strong, I’m horrible at fight, maybe if I’m mad I’ll fight but I’m not as well as everyone else.” I stated. 

“Ella, I believe you are lying to me. Carl told me about that time you almost got rape, but you saved yourself. Carl’s your boyfriend right?” I stared at her. “I was almost a goner then Michonne and Carl came up and killed the guys. And yes, yes he is why?” I started to get curious with her questions. “Why did you choice him to date?” she asked and continued, “You guys are so different” “What do you mean?” I asked she smiled I knew she was up to something. “You’re strong and a bad liar, he is weak and doesn’t lie”  “He’s not weak” I snapped. “Yeah he is he is the ringleader son, most protected she he seems to not worry who is after him” she looked deep in my eyes trying to read me. “He is stronger then me his dad isn’t the only on the protects him he protects himself” I hissed. “What if I put Carl out the gate alone” she dared to say “You bitch” I jumped on her went to punch her. This man grabbed my arm “I’m Reg, Deana’s husband.” “I was testing you” she joked I turned to face her. “You were testing me?” I questioned. “I wanted to see if you were a good fight then a liar,” she laughed. “You passed” she shown me the door “You may leave now”

~A day after the interview ~

“You have to wear this dress to Deana’s party” April held a box in front of my eyes “What a dress me?” I questioned I don’t like dresses. I opened the box to reveal a Black stringy dressed which was so beautiful. 

“I have something to tell you” April said sorrow. “What?” I questioned. “Yesterday I went over the gate” she started “You brought a weapon right?” I questioned she nodded “Of course my knife” I nodded. She continued “Shortly after I hoped the gate Enid hopped over too” I nodded she looked at me “Carl was following her” I was confused. “Why her” I snapped “I don’t know” I looked out my window and saw Carl hopping the gate now. “Let’s go” I grabbed my knife. We ran to the gate and climbed and jumped over. We looked around for walkers we were clear.  We ran to the next area. And I stopped April from taking a step. We heard footsteps crinkling the leaves. I looked ahead of us there was Carl looking lost. “Carl I know you are following me” I heard her but didn’t see her. “You knew?” he questioned ”Yeah you are loud, go away you scare me” he of course smiled to his ego and said “How do I scare you, you shouldn’t be out here alone people died” “Everyone dies” she reveals herself “you know that” “What are you doing out here?” Carl asked “Same thing as you” and she took off and Carl ran with her. I went to chase them but April grabbed my arm “Ella let’s go back, you have to understand he is messing up. You don’t have to stalk him.” I finally broke free a darted I knew she still followed me. We made it to them sitting in front of a log and she is playing with her knife. “What happen to you before here” “Does it matter” she stared at him “It does” I then hear walkers April and I climbed the closest tree. We watched as they ran into a stem of a tree. “Ella don’t look” April try to tell me but I stared at the girl whispering in Carl’s ear and how close their bodies were. April saw my anger coming out “Ella stop looking at them” she warned me again but I kept staring. I saw him about to make a move but stopped.
