𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞Charlie woke up today thinking she'll feel way better but instead she felt considerably worse. She groaned loudly before quickly sitting up to cough heavily.
"Doing better?" Daryl asked, who was only planning on walking by before he noticed Charlie was awake.
"Nah worse." She grumbled, rubbing her eyes.
"You should see Doctor S." Daryl said, causing Charlie to sigh.
"Did you see those walkers yesterday?" Charlie now asked gaining Daryl's whole attention.
"Uh, I was next to you." Daryl said confused thinking Charlie now completely lost it.
He exchanged a quick look With reign who stopped playing with her toy to look a Daryl confused, before looking back at Charlie.
She now licked her lips, because they were drier than usual, unintentionally causing Daryl's attention, but he quickly looked away for Charlie not to notice.
"Some were missing eyes, and when we were at the store and I was bringing those baskets out one attacked me, who was exactly looking like those, and at first I didn't think much of it but now, when all of our people are sick." Charlie said struggling to find the right words. "I don't think it's a coincidence anymore."
Daryl grumbled before saying. "It can't be."
"Yeah no shit." Charlie joked, knowing Daryl didn't know what to say.
"Where you going?" She now asked noticing all the gear he is carrying with him.
"Nowhere." He quickly said, knowing if she knows he'll go on a run she'll wants to go with them.
"A run?" She now asked attempting to stand up but Daryl pushed her back in the bed immediately.
"Yes, but without you?" Daryl said, having an idea. "Wanna know how you can help me."
"Yes."
"Well, but first you need to promise me you'll do it."
Charlie now grew more suspicious of what she has to do, thinking she may only have to stand at the guard tower and take watch so she agreed, because she at least wants to help little.
"You go see doctor S, c'mon." Daryl now said, causing Charlie to groan loudly once again.

Charlie was laying in her cell, in cell block a, being isolated from the others, not risking anymore to get anyone infected, after finding out how many people already died from this virus.
Several times she tried to sleep but was woken up quickly after because of the heavy urge to cough. She could only hope for Daryl, Michonne, Ty and Bob to return quickly from their run to get Medicine.
But Charlie was lucky, she doesn't have as many and as heavy symptoms as most of the others, hers were barely noticeable anymore, but she still had high temperature, she's coughing a lot and when she's walking a lot she quickly feels very dizzy.
She drinks from time to time several tea sips not wanting to refill her cup often, because other people may need it more than her, or so she thinks.
But she was resting a lot in hope to get better quicker, even though it kills her not being able to help.
Charlie was closing her eyes to finally sleep, but she was quickly awaken by a loud growling from outside.
"Everyone stay in your cells." She heard Hershel shout, and this is what caused her to jump out of her bed, walking as quickly as possible towards Hershel, kicking the dead off of him.
She now kicked its head several times to smash its brain. A shout from behind her made her turn around startled seeing someone get biten, causing the man to accidentally shoot someone who's alive in the head.
Before Charlie could react, he was already laying on the floor, the walker on top of him biting him in the neck.
Charlie runs towards him taking the weapon out of his hand, before shooting the walker which was laying on top of him.
After putting the gun in her pants pocket, she weakly helped Hershel up, to stand on his feet once again.
Turning around she saw a Walker, trying to stand up once again. Charlie now walked to it quickly standing on it with one foot causing it to get on the floor once again, before shooting it in the head, while Hershel walked upstairs.
"Hershel you okay up there?" Charlie shouted, getting no response. "Shit." She mumbled.
Trying to run up quickly but now the illness and the symptoms kicked in causing her to feel dizzy once again. She now stumbled up the stairs having to hold herself steady on the staircase railing.
She now hurried up quickly, seeing a bunch of dead walkers, on the floor while Hershel is standing above them.

Charlie was now laying exhausted on her bed, her neck and face covered in blood, while she was leaning against the wall.
She was nearly falling asleep, her eyes were already closed, but a knock on the wall wakes her quickly.
"I've got your medicine." Daryl said, showing it to her, before sitting down next to her.
"No." Charlie shook her head not taking it. "The others should get it first."
"You're the last one to get one." Daryl lied, his eye slightly twitching which Charlie noticed.
"Liar." She coughed, causing him to roll her eyes.
"Just take it." He grumbled.
"Are you sure, you have enough for everyone?" She asked, taking one of the three pills.
"Yep."

"If you take one sip of this before this medicine goes into Char- into our people, I am gonna beat your ass." Michonne set her voice deep pretending to talk like Daryl while she's telling Charlie everything about the run.
"How sweet." Charlie said weekly, her head laying on Michonnes shoulder.
"I'd like to have a 'friend' like this too." Michonne said emphasising 'friend' a lot.
"What's that supposed to mean." Charlie asked, her voice cracking slightly.
"Awww a little voice crack." Michonne joked making fun of Charlie.
"Shut up." She said hitting her shoulder. "Leave me alone, I wanna sleep."
"Should I get you your teddy bear?" Michonne smiled, while Charlie rolled her eyes at this statement.
She huffed now, laying down on the pillow, closing her eyes harshly, laying her legs till the end of her bed causing them to lay on Michonne.
Michonne now laughed before leaving the room, kicking Charlie's legs off of her.
