Cross of heart

Fourteen

Around 6pm

The metal door began to open and Carl looked into the room.

"Aunt Jenny?"

Daryl saw the door opened and walked to wake up Jen.

"Get up, the door's opened."
Jen sat up from the door and the air finally filled the room, the two were still sweating. The two were left in the room for a day, it was like hell in there

"Oh my god Carl." She got up and hugged him.

"We thought you guys were dead." Mentioned Carl and Daryl got out the room. Daryl shook his head, he knew they would have given up

"No, we were cornered by walkers and were locked in this hot metal room. Come on let's get back."

Carl leads the way and there was Walker dead on the floor just passed the room they were in

"Carl, did you do this?" Asked Jen surprised.

"Yeah, there was a couple of walkers left lingering around and I took care of them."

"Sweetie why are you out here alone, you could have gotten hurt."
Jen tried to sound sweet and concerning but Carl got mad.

"Im not a little boy anymore. I can handle myself, you sound just like my dad. Can you atleast be happy and thankful that I found you two."

Jen was surprised and stopped him," Oh hell no, don't you ever talk to me like that ever again. I am your aunt, just because you havent seen me in a while and the workd had ended means you can be rude." He stared into her eyes and yanked his arm away from her.

"The world is over aunt jen, im not your little nephew anymore. We need to protect the family and everyone. I cant be a kid anymore" He continued to lead them back

"What the hell?"

"Hey don't be surprised, that damn boy has matured fast. He can take care of himself."

"Yea he sounds like you too, did you have something to do with this? " she whispered.

"Yea, we all did. So did the walkers that ate his lil kids friends up. He need to learn and mature on his own. Thats how i was as a kid"

"Yea and looked how you turned out," scoffed jen .

"How did the sirens go off? Was it those damn prisoners we found?" Daryl was still curious about the siren and kept aim for any walkers around.

"Whatever prisoners were alive here baited walkers to coming into the prison, since rhey knew we took over but i think there all dead now. A lot has happened since you guys were lost ."

Carl leads them to double doors that lead to the outside. The signs around them read that they were in G wing.

"Come on we can get back quicker this way."

B wing cell block:

The multi room doors opened and the three walked into the cell block rooms.
Everyone saw Jen and Daryl and were happy to see them alive but sadness still filled their eyes.

Carol came up to hug Daryl,"we all thought you two were dead."

"Well, thanks for trying to see if we actually were." Daryl hugged Carol back and they embraced for quite some time. This made Jen wonder if they were together but Carol looked way older than him, but it wouldn't be weird. Could be his mother? Thats what happens when jen does not know who peopl are, she wonders about things , plays what if...
Jen looked around and everyone was standing around with sorrow painted on their faces. Jen placed her gun against a wall and got closer to everyone.
