Your Not Alone

Chapter 3- Problem

I look at Luke and then to Carl.

"My dad mentioned this place to me before. He said you killed one of our men" I say looking at him.

Carl was about to answer but then Glenn and a man with a beard approached us.

"What's your business here?" Rick asked.

"We-we escaped our father , he was losing it"

"There dad is the Governor, dad" Carl announced.

"Lock' em up for the day" Rick said as Carl and Glenn escorted Luke and I into the prison where they locked us in a cell.

"Sorry about this" Glenn said locking the lock.

I lie down on the bed and sigh with relief. We're safe, hopefully.

Un less dad finds us.

"Lucas?" I asked as he stared out the cell. "what's wrong?" I ask.

"N-nothing" he shakes his head and sits down against the wall. I shook it off and went to sleep. Until Carl woke me up.

"My dad wants to ask you two a questions" so Lucas and I walked out of our cell and followed Carl to where Rick sat.

"How many walkers have you killed?"

"Enough to still be alive" Lucas answered.

"How many people have you killed?"

"None" Lucas answered again.

"One" I answer looking down to the ground.

Lucas looks at me
Confused. He didn't know this happened.

"Why?" Rick asked me

"I was protecting my little sister" I look At my thumbs as I fidget with them.

"You two are welcome to stay" Rick said "but is you try anything, we won't hesitate to shoot" He added.

"Lucas you'll be bunking with Patrick, and Lauren your with Carl" He shares.

"Can I talk to you Lauren?" Lucas asked.

I nodded and followed him to the other room.

"What happened with you and Penny?!" he whispered but loudly.

"Some man tried to take her a few months ago. So I shot him" I say as if it were nothing.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He questioned.

"I don't need to explain myself to you" I retort and walk back out to Carl and Rick.

"C'mon ill take you to our cell." Carl smiles. I nod and grab my bags and follow him to the cell.

"Your brother is just three cells down" He points. I nod and enter the cell.

Posters of Star Wars and The Walking Dead hang on the walls.

"Really?" I point to the poster of a walker (that looked nothing like the real thing).

He shrugs and sits on the bed. "So you have top bunk" He announced.

I chuck my stuff onto the top bunk and look at Carl.

"So your the Governors daughter?" He laughs.

"Yeah, not what you expected?" I asked.

"I expected more goth or emo. but your more bubbly." he said with a smile.

"Thank- you? I'm not sure if that's a complement or not." I laugh.

"Me neither" he admits.

"Lauren, Carl! can you take watch for Maggie and Glenn?!" Rick hollers from the main floor.

"Be right there!" Carl Hollers back.

"We better get going" he said getting up.

We exit the prison making out way to the guard tower.
