05- Above the Equator

I woke up early. I sat up from the small bunk-bed and stretched. I didn't sleep too great, It was cold and smelled horrible! I oficially hated that Carl kid. He's nothing more than a stupid jerk. I stood up and rubbed my eyes. I arched my back, hearing it crack slightly. Ouch. I thought to myself.

I walked over to the medal bars, holding me inside my 'cage' and stood there. "HELLO?!" I shouted loudly, still totally pissed. I hear shuffling, then get an answer."What?" I heard a scruffy voice spit. Just then I see a sleepy Carl come from around the corner. "Ooh, someone isn't too happy." He grins. "Shut up and let me out." I grind my teeth. "Okay blondey, just don't go trying anything." He smirks, looking up at me. I just scoff. He pulls out a key and unlocks the cell door. "There." He swings the cell door open and gestures for me to come out.

I step out, glancing at him, then quickly walk away. I feel him grab my butt and I let out a scream. I turn around with furry in my eyes. Carl's just standing there, smirking. I scoff at him and punch him in the stomach. "Asshole." I spit. I begin walking away, again. I turn my head to see Carl groaning on the cold floor. I smile to myself and brush myself off. "Next time, keep your hands above the equator." I tease, and walk out of the cell block.

I reach the 'cafeteria' and see my brother talking to Beth. I walk over to them and wave at Beth who smiles at me.

"Hi Skai." Tyler says.

"Hey." I sigh.

"Wanna sit with us?" Beth asks, looking over to Tyler for approval.

"Uh, sure." I smile, taking a seat next to Tyler at the table. I sit there and listen to their small talk and respond every now and then.

"CARL!" Rick yells and looks over to cell block C.

"What?!" Carl calls, walking down the medal stairs.

"I need you to go on a run with Michonne." Rick states, looking up at Carl.

"Okay, fine." Carl replies, walking up to Rick.

"And I want Skai to go with you guys." He smiles.

"What?! NO!" Carl whines. Rick just glares at Carl and gives him a 'really?' look.

"Ugh, FINE!" Carl groans, plopping down on a table.

"Eat, get your things and head out, got it?" Rick says standing in front of Carl.

"Got it." Carl grumbles, rolling his eyes.

"Michonne will be waiting by the fences!" Rick calls as he walks twords me.

"Hello Skai." Rick says with a small smile.

"Hi." I mumble.

"Your okay to go with Carl, right?" He asks, seeming concerned.

"I guess so, but Carl doesn't really seem to...like me all that much." I shrug, looking up at Rick.

"He's probably just not used to you yet." Rick smiles, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, okay...." I trail off. Rick nods and walks away over to Glenn and Maggie.

"You should eat something before you go." Beth chirps. She quickly stands up and runs over to Carol, who hands her a granola bar and a water bottle. She walks back to me and hands me the granola bar and water.

"Thanks." I smile. She just nods and turns to Tyler.

"I should go feed Judith." She says.

"Okay. I'll come with?" He asks.

"Sure!" She smiles and runs off to the cell Judith is in. Tyler turns to me and sighs.

"Please be careful, and stay safe." He pats my back and I nod, giving him a small smile before he walks off after Beth.

~~~

I walk down the cell block to where Beth ran off to and spot her in a cell holding Judith in her arms and Tyler laying on the bed watching her. I walk up to the cell and knock on the wall.

"Um, Beth?" I shyly ask. She turns her head and smiles when she sees me.

"Yes Skai?" She replies walking over to the cell door.

"Do you um- do you have any clothed I could borrow?" I whisper, looking down.

"Oh, totally! Follow me." She says walking out of the cell, still holding Judith. "Help yourself to whatever you want." She gestures to the pile of clothes on the floor in the 'wash room.'

"Okay, thank you." I smile, going over to the pile of clothes.

"Anytime." She calls out as she walks back to her cell. I rummage through the pile of girl clothes and find a washed pair of ripped skinny jeans and a loose courter-sleeve gray shirt (outfit in pic above). I look around me to see no one around here, so I grin to myself as I begin to strip off my old clothes. When I'm just in my bra and underwear, I hear a slight cough come from behind me. I jump and spin around to see Carl leaning in the doorway, smirking.

"Well you don't have to stop." Carl grins, looking me up and down. I turn red and cover myself up with the clothes I'm holding in my hands.

"Carl, get out!" I yell, turning even more red. "Why are you in here anyway?!" I yell again.

"Well, I came to get a clean shirt, but then I see you in here changing, so I decided to watch." He smirks again and starts walking twords me. He steps closely in front of me, and places his hand on my waist. He looks into my eyes, then to my lips. I gulp and just stay frozen. He starts slowly leaning in and I feel chills go down my spin as he inches closer and closer to my face.

Just when I think he's about to kiss me, he passes by my face and bends over and picks up a clean T-shirt for himself. He then steps back, taking his hand off my side and begins taking off his own shirt, right in front of me. I can't help but bite my lip as he slowly pulls the shirt over his head, leaving him shirtless. I just kinda stand there, staring.

"Like what you see?" Carl chuckles looking at me.

"Um-wha- I just.....uhmmm....no?" I trail off, turning the brightest red possible.

"Whatever you say Blondey." He grins and pulls the clean shirt over his head. "See you by the gates." Carl calls as he starts walking out of the 'wash room.'

"Mhmm." I mumble, totally embarrassed. Carl pokes his head in one more time, "Nice ass by the way." He winks and walks out. I blush and start putting on my clean clothes.

When I'm fully clothed, I slip on my black combat boots and tie them up. I brush out my tangled hair with my fingers as best I can and walk out of the room.

~~~

I start packing up my backpack. I place my water bottle in it, along with my book I found a while ago. I grab a box of ammo from the floor and stuff it in my backpack; even though I don't have a gun yet. Maggie says its good to have extra ammo just incase others might need it. Zipping up my backpack, I sling it over my shoulder and grasp the knife Rick gave to me for protection. I quickly hurry out of the cell door and down the stairs over to an exit door. I run outside and over to the gates, where Michonne and Carl are waiting.

"You two ready?" Michonne asks, looking out the gates.

"Uh huh." I respond a little nervous.

"Yeah." Carl says walking over to the other side of the gate. He has his own backpack and is wearing his Sheriff Hat. Michonne nods to Carl and begins pulling the chains attached to the gate, making it start to open. Carl pulls on the other chain, causing the gates to slowly swing open, just enough for us three to slip by.

And with that, we begin walking down the pathway, killing walkers as we go.
