Call me England Dixon

Chapter 48: Silence

England's Pov:

"Okay, let's get the other car in...we'll park 'em in the west entry of the yard." My father instructs. Currently, some of us are out here moving vehicles in and getting ready to make this place more comfortable.

"Good. Our vehicles camped out there look like a giant "vacancy" sign." Daryl states, I chuckle a little as I start walking alongside my father, Carol catching up next to me. After everything that happened the other night, when I finally told Daryl everything. He was there and did not judge once. We went to bed the same as always, nothing's changed

"After that, we need to load up these corpses so we can burn 'em."

"Gonna be a long day..." T says.

"Where's Glenn and Maggie? We could use some help." Carol speaks, my eyes widen a little as I clamp my mouth shut.

"Umm..." I clear my throat. Dad looks at me and lifts an eyebrow.

"Up in the guard tower." Daryl points, I glare and smack his chest. How dare he rat them out!

"Guard tower?" My father asks, looking up. "Weren't they just up there last nigh?" He looks at me, I shrug trying to play dumb just a little bit.

"Glenn! Maggie!" Daryl shouts, I gasp.

"Daryl!" I whisper-shout, Daryl smirks at me and we look back up to see Glenn coming out buttoning his pants up.

"Hey, what's up guys?" Glenn speaks, his voice shaking. You can definitely tell he's nervous. I put a hand to my mouth to stop me from laughing.

"You coming?" Daryl asks, causing everyone else to snicker.

"What?" Glenn looks at us confused.

"You comin?" Daryl repeats, he still looks at us confused. I shake my head at these idiots still smiling. "Come on, we could use a hand."

"Y-Yeah, we'll be right down!" We start walking towards the front gate, Carol still laughing.

"You're all so mean." I said, my dead chuckles.

"Well, their the ones up there." Carol says.

"Hey, Rick!" T says, causing the rest of us to look at him. He points in a direction and my eyes follow. My smile goes away when I see the two prisoners coming out. I look back at my father and his smile is erased from his face as well. Instead he starts walking towards them as well, causing me to go with him.

"Come with me." he says and we do just that.

"That's far enough." He says once we get to them. "We made an agreement."

"Please, mister. We know that." The blonde one, Axel, says. The door to the tower opens and Glenn and Maggie walk out. "We made a deal, but you gotta understand...we can't live in that place another minute. You follow me? All the bodies– people we knew. Blood, brains everywhere..." I close my eyes shut and take a step back, feeling a little dizzy. "There's ghosts."

"Why don't ya move the bodies out?" Daryl asks.

"Should be burnin them." -T dog

"We tried...we did." He corrects himself.

"The fence is down on the far side of the prison." The good one says. "Everytime we drag a body out, those things just line up. Dropping the body and running back inside." He sighs.

"Look, we had nothing to do with Thomas and Andrew. Nothing." Axel points to my father. "You trying to prove a point? You proved it, bro. We'll do whatever it takes to be a part of your group-just please, please...don't make us live in that place."
