Chapter 17 I win

POV Carl Grimes

Everything happened very quickly, at first I was looking at T-Dog tied up on a bed and the next a voice surprised me behind me. Justin quickly turns around, but is hit in the head with a rifle butt, causing Justin to fall to the ground. Justin doesn't move. "You killed him!" I yell at Dr. Jenner with tears streaming down my face.

"He's not dead, I just knocked him unconscious, forgive me, but I was scared. Why the hell did Justin have a gun?" Says Dr. Jenner picking up a gun from the floor and then handcuffing Justin's hands. I have to help him, but I'm scared, I'm really scared and Sofia seems to be just as scared as I am.

Why am I such a coward? Why? Why? I mentally repeat myself over and over until another figure enters the lab, it's Lenny who only raises an eyebrow at us.

"What happened here, Jenner? Why is Justin unconscious? Lenny asked the doctor.

"Just an oversight, nothing to worry about, take the two kids into the next room while I clean up this mess." Dr. Jenner says waving his hands dismissively. "I guess everything went according to plan, no problem?"

"They showed some resistance at first, but the gas quickly neutralized them, we've tied them up while Eliot watches over them, they're still sleeping like babies." Lenny says scratching his head and then looking at me. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I'm not a monster." Lenny takes us by the hand and leads us into another room.

Several minutes passed and neither of us said a word. "I know it must be difficult, but we don't plan on hurting them." Lenny says with a smile in my direction.

"You will hurt our parents." I say weakly with my head down. "You'll hurt them all."

Justin told me to stop being a cry baby, but I'm so scared, my parents are in danger, Justin is in danger and I can't do anything about it, I'm a coward. Justin was right, I'm just a burden to everyone.

The sound of multiple gunshots startles me. "But what the hell is Jenner doing?" Lenny says quickly before starting to head for the door. This is bad, he can hurt Justin. What would Justin do? What would Justin do in this situation?

"Wai...wait please." I say stuttering a bit. "Something's wrong with me, help." I begin to breathe rapidly until a worried face appears on Lenny and he comes running to where I am.

"What do you have? You can breathe?" Lenny crouches in front of me, placing his hands on my shoulders as he watches me with concern. At this, I reach one of my hands slowly into my pocket gripping the knife Justin handed me tightly. The next thing I know, I'm pushing him against Lenny's neck with all my might.

Hot red liquid splashes my face along with my hands as Lenny falls back clutching his neck.

Oh my god, oh god, what have I done? My parents are going to kill me. I start to hyperventilate as tears begin to stream down my face. "Sorry, sorry, sorry." I don't know how long I was in shock but a voice brought me back to my senses.

"Huh, you did good Carl." Justin says giving him a thumbs up. "You should see how Jenner looks." He says covering his mouth and suppressing a giggle, before this, my knife falls to the ground I pounced on Justin hugging him while I started to cry.

"I was scared, I heard shots and he was about to leave." I say pointing to Lenny who is on the ground holding his neck with blood coming out of his mouth. "And I just panicked, I just..." I whisper with tears in my eyes as Justin pats me on the back.

"It's okay, I'm not upset about what you did, in fact, I'm a little shocked, I thought you were a baby, but looking at you now, you don't look so much like a baby anymore." Justin says ruffling my hair as he separates me from him. "No more hugs, they make me uncomfortable, we have to rescue the NPCs." Justin says waving his hands dismissively.
