The Girl That's Immune(Sequel to The Governor's Daughter)

Alexandria

Chapter 7
Julia's  POV.

We have been running for weeks.We voted to go back to Washington.
I didn't like the ideas but it was for the group.
We were finally in Washington.After 5 weeks.We are here.

I fell as I tripped on a tree root.
"Get your clumsy ass up,"Ellie jokes.
We all laugh as I get up and wipe my butt of the dirt and leaves.
"Hello,"a man's weak voice says behind us.
We turn around.
There was a man with a huge bag and brown hair.
He had a brown plaid long sleeve on.
Another man came out....holding a crossbow.
"D....Daryl,"I mumble.
He looks at me then the rest of the group.
"Come one we have a camp,"Daryl motions us to follow them.
We follow the men to a car.
"Only five people will fit,"I point out.
Daryl nods,"We are looting,Julia,why are you in such a hurry?"
I swallow a lump in my throat,"We have been on the road for weeks and we have a little girl  that hasn't slept and she needs it.She's terribly sick."
I look at Anna and see her couching up blood as Acher holds her short hair back.
Daryl looks at her,"Erin,you think you can handle on your own?"
Erin nods.
Daryl leads us to a tuck.
We all hop in.
I sat in the front with Daryl while everyone else was in the back.
"Is Carl happy with his choice?"I ask Daryl.
Daryl looks at me.
"Eyes on the road,buddy,"I joke.
He puts h i s eyes on the road,"He's not happy as much as he used to.After Alison died.Then there's Enid and they get a long just fine.I've heard Carl mumble her name in his sleep so I'm guessing he likes it."
I nod.
"It's ok,Julia.He might be an ass toward you but he has a thing for Enid and it's real deep.I don't think it's gonna stop."
"I understand that,Daryl.He can be a man sl-"
Daryl interrupts me,"He's not a you know what."
"Well,he gets with a load of girls."
Daryl sighs,"You're right."
"Point Julia."

The rest of the way there is silent.
When we reach the place we walk into the gates.
I hung my head low.
Everyone was staring at us.
I see Rick.
He walks over to us and tries to hug us.When he comes to me I push away and walk with Daryl.
Daryl took me to a place with an interviewing type thing.
I sat down in the chair and a girl walked in.Well,I should say a woman.
"I'm Deanna,"the lady says,"Whats yours?"
"Julia."
She smiles,"Well,good to have you.Looks like you knew the group that came in here last week?"
Knowing she met Rick and them I nod.
Just now did I realize they were recording me.
I never liked my picture being taken or being recorded.
A shiver ran down my spine.
"That's all I guess."
I walk outside and see Carl sitting on the steps.
When I walk out he stands up immediately.
He tries to hug me.
"Stay the Fuck off me.I don't need you."
He looked hurt.
I hold up my middle finger and walk away.
That SOB(son of a bitch)wanting to pit me through all that...then hug me?I just don't get it.
I was given a house and walked in.It was nice.
They said a party would be going on tonight.
I guess I had to go to that.
