Chapter 10 Cell block C

We've been on the run a couple of months now. Carl, and a few others became cold and depressed. We all kept trudging on through the winter staying in homes at least two days maximum. Daryl's and I have become closer due to the shortage of hunting trips.

Carl has become angry with everyone and hasn't talked to anyone since. Not even me.

It was getting late.
"We should hold up here for the night." Rick suggested.
"I think that's a good choice." Daryl replied.

We all walked in tilting our heads in different angles looking to see what we were going to be sleeping in.

That night Carl sat next to me. Surprisingly. He was holding a can of dog food. Carl and I haven't eaten in a couple of days because we give it to Lori. Pregnant woman's gotta eat. I told myself.

I nodded as he opened the can slightly making a screaching noise. Rick came over and chucked the can into the fire place. Daryl was concentrating on pluckin feathers off his owl he had shot down not to long ago.

I sat there thinking. What if I end it here. As I trailed off in my thoughts a small herd of about 30 something walkers were approaching. We had enough time to pack up and get in the cars. I went on Daryl's motercycle.

That very morning I woke up in a bush. I mean, that's were we all woke up. We didn't have a enough time to keep going till we came to a house. So we set up camp and slept in bushes.

Early that morning people were still getting up. Me and Daryl went to go hunting for breakfast or even lunch. It was kind of hard to tell time when your in a apocalypse.

We were driving on an empty road and turned left to a bumpy gravel road going to the countries side. In the trees I noticed a large bulding.
"Hey Daryl. Have you ever wanted to go to jail?" I said sarcastically.

He looked at me. Sending a smile to me. Me sending one back.

All we caught was a possum. Nothing else. I guess that was our meal. I remember when Daryl took me on the tour. When I hit that possum right in the head with my knife.

We started driving back to the group. I noticed Carl laughing. I don't know what he was laughing at, but the sight of him smiling made me smile. I mean, he hasn't smiled like he did in months now.

------------------

"I'll close the gates." I spoke confidently raising my hand,
"I'm the fastest just cover me." I continued.
"Fine." Rick nodded, as he gave instructions to the others.

Carl hugged me.
"Don't get hurt, your my best friend." He said wispering in my ear.
I nodded as Carl opened the gate.

I bolted. I used to be in track and field before all this went down. I used a gun instead of my crossbow because I fine it's easier to hold. I darted across the field and closed the gate. I looked around frantically and saw a near by gaurd tower. I bolted again as the walkers tried to swarm me. I opened the gaurd tower door and almost screamed as I found a biter wearing a riot suit.

So I dodged it trying to find a way I could kill it. I stopped grabbed it's head and pushed it back, stabbing my knife through its neck. It fell to the ground so I took my time and put it on. Might as well, right?

I ran into the herd killing them with my gun, one by one. I had my gun in my left hand and my knife in my right.

Soon I was surrounded with body's all over the ground. I killed them all. I'm so badass I thought to my self as I ran back. I gave a thumbs up to the others. When I got back Daryl knuckle bumped me and Carl high fived me.
"We'll take the prison tomorrow morning. Find a cell and get settled." Rick announced.
We all cheered as we ate the possum and owl from eairlier.

I fell asleep with my head on Daryl's lap as he continued planning with the others.

I woke up. I noticed my head wasn't on Daryl's lap anymore. It was on the grass. I also noticed that I was with only Lori, Carl, Carol and Beth.
Everyone else was wondering around looking at the view.

I frowned. They left me. I realized that Carl was watching me sleep.
"Weirdo." I wispered and smerked.

We both laughed and rolled in the grass.

I've never had a real friend until I met Carl. I used to just sit alone during lunch. I stared at the sky with Carl. It was a comfortable silence.

Until we heard Rick and the others get back. Me and Carl got up. They were laughing as if they were actually comfortable and safe here. I'm so happy Daryl and I found this place.

Daryl held out his arms as I ran over to him. I jumped in his arms and hugged him.
"We're did you go?" I asked him.
"We went and cleared out a cell. If you were awake you could of came." He told me.
I laughed.

Rick and Daryl led us inside.
"Welcome to cell block C." Rick called to us.

"By the way, I ain't sleeping in no cell." Daryl mumbled.
I was the only one to here him considering I was right beside him.

He put his bag up the stairs in a little box area with railing all around. It looked like a 'let's sit and watch the prison' type spot.

I walked over to a empty cell. I noticed Carl following behind me.
"Top bunk." I yelled as Carl set his stuff on the bottem bunk.
"Just don't do anything." Rick said as he peeked his head in.
"As if!" I responded and smerked.
"Dammit." Carl said sarcastically.

Rick and I looked at each other. I noticed Daryl glare at me. I couldn't keep it in. We all laughed. It was promising here. I was so happy. Carl was happy. Daryl was happy. Everyone. I'm glad we came here. We could make a living here too

Rick and Daryl left a few moments later to go check the place out a bit more. They said that they were going to look in the tombs as T-Dog calls them. Even Hershel tagged along.

Me and Carl were getting our stuff ready and settled when we heard a blood curdling scream. Then some gun shots shattered the silence and sent me running.
