"Are we underground?" That was the voice of Mrs. Sneaky, as Dr. Edwin Jenner showed us through the halls.

The man looked rough, his clothes sweaty and worn, but when was anyone's clothes nice anymore? He was blonde and had an eerie feeling about him. I took note that we needed to watch out for him, whether or not he just saved our lives.

"Are you claustrophobic?" He turned his head, whilst still walking.

"A little."

"Try not to think about it."

"Oh God." I said, below a whisper not to anyone in particular. Unlike Carol or anyone else here that was a little scared of tight closed spaces, I was terrified of them. I couldn't go in any confined space to save my life, and this was pushing it.

Glenn fell back behind the group to come talk to me, I think because everyone in this room could tell what's on my mind.

"Hey are you ok?"

"I-I'm fine." Taking a deep breath, trying to not think about it.

"You sure?" Concern dripping in his voice.

"I'm ok. I'm ok. I'm ok." I repeated oh so silently, until we reached a big room at the end of the terrifying hallway.

"VI, bring up the lights in the big room." He stood there for a second before sounds went off, lighting up the dark ass room. There were computers everywhere with a huge screen up on one of the walls.

"Welcome to zone 5."

"Where is everybody?" Rick asked him, walking with him down the steps, and us following. I wasted no time getting into the room and taking a deep breath, concerned about the weakness I was showing all of them.

Being scared of tight spaces wasn't really badass, and that hurt my ego not going to lie.

"The other doctors, the staff?"

He took a long pause before answering, "I'm it."
"It's just me here."

"What about the person you were speaking with?" Lori asked, and I rolled my eyes. That sentence was almost as embarrassing for me as it was for her. Is she really that dumb?

He laughed, "VI, say hello to our guests. Tell them, welcome."

"Hello, guests, welcome."

He sighed, "I'm all that's left. I'm sorry."

Then the man started to bring out some kits from the basket. He brought out a chair and the Sheriff sat down first, being the fearless leader he is.

Then Mr. Scary, Jacqui, Glenn, Lori, Carl, Sophia,Creeper, Hawkeye, Beans, Mrs. Sneaky, T, then me.

I sat down on the chair, uncomfortably close to Jenner. He wasted no time in sticking the metal prong into my arm, we waited for the tube to fully fill up but as we did he gave me short glaces.

"What?"

"N-Nothing, I just. You are very beautiful." He spat out, like a little kid talking in front of the class at a show in tell.

I noticed Daryl's glaring eyes at me and the Dr. and just waved him off. If looks could kill, me and Jenner would be lifeless on the floor right now.

I snorted, "Thanks, I guess."

He awkwardly smiled, then took the tube out of my arm when it was full of my blood. I stood up but was immediately caught in the arms of Robin Hood when my legs collapsed underneath me. I waited before my vision cleared up to stand on my own.

"Ya ok?" The smooth talking redneck asked me, sliding his hands down to the elbows of my arms, just in case I fell again.

"Yup, I'm good. Feel free to keep your hands on me though." I winked and he tensed instantly, stepping away from me. His face was hard but the tips of his cheeks and ears were red as a tomato.
