Chapter 13 Good ol' uncle merel

CARL POV:
"Carl?" A little voice wispered.
I shot Amber. I thought to myself, tears flowing down my face.

"Shit." She said looking at her shoulder. "I take to many bullets that involve two." She finished with a smerk.

She gritted her teeth as I pulled her closer to me. The left side of her face is bruised and swollen, I had shot her shoulder.

I climed the side of the fence, he still in my arms. Struggle is real I thought as I climed the fence.

"Where's Daryl?" She asked hazily.
"We'll find him," I stuttered still running.

I saw Maggie and Glenn, they cought up with me.
"How the hell did this happen?" I yelled looking at Amber.
"Merel." She responded.

Merel is bad news.

"He took Amber aside, Merel nearly killed Glenn." Maggie said.

I looked at Amber, her shoulder was bleeding a lot. What if she does and it's all my fault. We ran for about a mile now and finally got it the car. Dad was there in the front.

"We need to go back for Daryl." Glenn told us.
Me and Maggie nodded. I looked at my dad and he nodded too.
"I'll stay here with Amber and Glenn." I called out to them as they made there way back.

I ripped my sleeve off like dark does and wrapped it around Amber's shoulder.

"Who shot her?" Glenn asked with curiosity.
"Me." I replied quickly but said quietly hopping he didn't here me, "I thought she was one of them." I finished.

Glenn looked shocked.

I looked at Amber's arms and legs. They were bright red. What did the governor do to her. I thought to myself.

AMBER POV:
"What the heck you perv." I smiled Lookin at Carl as he scanned my arms and legs with his bright blue eyes.

"Why did you stay." I asked him wincing as I sat up.

"That's what friends are fo-"

Before he could finish Glenn interupted.
"Ok lovebirds." Glenn smiled.

"Oh yes like you and Maggie." I laughed.
He was blushing.

I noticed Carl had my crossbow.
"Where'd you get that?" I asked him politely.
"I found it when I picked you up, you must of dropped it on you way to the ground." He answered.

I herd gunshots, after a couple of miniutes Daryl came over. Running like the wind. He smiled and hugged me really tightly.

"Why do you always get into trouble?" He asked smiling.

I saw Merel behind him.
"Get on the ground!" I yelled pointing my crossbow at him.
"Whoa little girl, I'm your new uncle Merel."

I winced as Daryl sqeezed my shoulders.

"You were shot!" Daryl yelled in shock. He looked like he was growing angry.
"Who did this to you?" He shouted almost spitting.

"I did it. I didn't mean to, I thought she was one of them." Carl confessed.

Daryl started pacing.
"I can't do this anymore. I'm leaving!" He yelled.

"Don't leave me, please." I begged,
"Your just like my real dad! Leaving me when I needed him most!" I finished looking at him in the eyes.

He avoided my glare.
"Then come with us!" Merel yelled.
"She got shot, she'll die of infection!" Carl stepped in.
"Says the boy who shot her!" Daryl gritted his teeth.

I couldn't decide where to go. Carl or Daryl?
"Please your the only person that understands me!" I screamed pushing Daryl away.

A tear slid down my cheek as the brothers started walking away. Daryl didn't even like Merel! I started to walk towards them.

Carl grabbed my bad shoulder.
"Please don't go with th-"
"Thanks for shooting me." I wispered as I pushed his arm away.

He looked at me shocked. I got into the car with Glenn and waited until the others got in too. I started out the window as Daryl and Merel walked the other way. We drove back to the prison in silence. We past a abandoned building with windows cracked and doors flying open with the wind.

We finally got to the prison, I rushed inside to my cell. I closed the door and bandaged my wound and laid in my bunck. I started playing with my crossbow Daryl had given me.

He's a traitor. I thought to myself.

I jumped down and snuck outside. I wanted peace any quiet to think. I didn't get what I wanted. There were moans and grouls. Walkers going by.

I herd gunshots. Carl! I thought to myself. He's the only person I have left! I finished.

I cried for help as the governor pulled me to the ground. He picked me up by the sweater hoodie and covered my mouth.

"Carl!" I tried to scream.

A walker approached. The governor noticed it and through me into it. I stabbed it contuesly with my knife until my clothes were dyed in dark red blood.

I was surrounded by walkers, I looked around and found the governor walking away.

I finished them off and walked back to the prison, gun equipped in case he would come behind me again.

"Daryl?" I called as I saw a man in the distance.

He looked over his shoulder.
"Amber? Is that you?" He asked.
"Yes."
"I'm really sorry. I got angry."
"Oh really." I replied sarcastically.

We made our way back to the prison when I noticed Carl pacing in the cell.

"What happened to you? Where were you?" I asked worriedly.

"The governor almost kidnapped me." I answered ignoring him watching me.

"Did he hurt you?" He questioned again.

"No. But you know what did. It hurt to see that you never came when I called." I told him as I walked away, out of the cell

"I didn't hear." He said still looking at me as I kept going.
