Solitary: The Walking Dead

Chapter Twenty-eight.

She's determined to find him.

Iris slowly opens her eyes and looks around the room, her arms tied behind the chair she is sat on. Muffled talking from somewhere outside the room travels through the walls, suddenly the sounds of banging and growls flow through the walls and into the room. She pulls at the rope around her hands but it's too tight.

"Your awake" A voice says from the door, Iris looks up to see two men, the governor and Merle.

"What do you want?" she asks, glaring at the tall man as he gets closer, his hand reaches out to her face and brushes hair out of her face. "I want answers" he says softly, "well i aint got any" iris spits back, suddenly a mans scream echoes through her ears. Glenn.

The man steps back from the woman and looks behind him to Merle. "I've got it from here" he says making the man leave, shutting the door behind him. The man pulls up a chair in front of her and sits down.

"Are you with a group?" he asks "no... i travel alone" she lies "huh... how does a pretty little thing like you survive out there alone?" he asks, he places his hand on her knee and slowly runs it up higher, but her eyes dont leave his face.

"Luck" Iris replies, as his hand creeps higher and higher, "i dont think there is any luck left in this world" he says, "although... i might be wrong" he adds, iris notices his hand start reaching for something, but she keeps her focus on his face.

Iris feels cold metal touch the skin on her chest, he runs it down to the top of the vest she is wearing and tears the fabric open. "Maybe there is such a thing as luck cause i am feeling like one lucky man" he says, ripping the vest until its just a bit of fabric, leaving her in just a bra.

His hands make their way to her torso reaching up to her breasts and groping at them. His hands trace over her scars, and then they start to make their way to her trousers.

Iris feels him start to undo the button "you really have to tie women up in order to touch them?" Iris laughs in his face "must make you feel like a big man" Iris snaps.

His hand collides with her face sending her head in a different direction. The woman drops her head down laughing at the man. "Come on then you pussy" she spits "do your worst" Iris says through gritted teeth.

........

Iris opens her eyes and does her usual routine, getting dressed, grabbing her weapons and then leaving, staying quiet so no one else wakes up. "Where are you going?" Carl asks quietly coming out of his cell, "I'm going out to check out a different location... why are you up? It's still early" Iris asks.

"couldn't sleep" he says "why?" Iris asks walking ore to him "I don't know" "how about you get some water and try to rest. And maybe I'll bring back a present" she says stroking the boys hair back.

"And how about you look after Bear for me" she adds "okay" Carl replies, he wonders off and gets some water before going back into his cell with Bear.

Iris walks outside in the darkness and takes out a cigarette, lighting it, "you ready?" Daryl asks walking outside towards the woman "yeah" she replies standing on her cigarette and following him to his bike.

.......

Daryl stops his bike away from Woodbury, and the two get off walking the rest of the way there, to be quiet. They walk in silence, listening for anything and looking out for tracks.

Iris raises her gun as they make it to the doors, slowly the two open it and make their way in, staying close they walk through the streets looking through the windows and watching for movement.
