Chapter 5

You looked up at the person you bumped into and moved away from them, it was 2 against 1 but the odds aren't against you yet, you got your pocket knife out, the one who wanted you to leave put his gun away and moved closer to you, you got ready and waited for them to attack you, he lunged forward hoping to try and choke you but you dodged it and bashed his head into the shelf then moving away from him, the other man pushed you too the ground and sat on you, wrapping his hands around your throat and started to choke you, you tried grabbed your pocket knife but the other one kicked it away, your only other choice was going to alert more than Carl of your struggle, you picked up a shard of glass and stabbed it into the one who was chocking you neck, he got off of your and you sat up and took his gun, shooting the other one between the eyes, the gunshot rang throughout the store and you fell to your knees, dropping the gun, you rubbed your throat and started to shake, you killed someone... You told Rick you would kill them if you had too and it's what you did, you sat against the side while wiping your eyes, you looked to your right and saw Carl, standing up while wiping your eyes you put your bag on and picked up the gun "ready to go?" you asked and Carl nodded, walking passed you, before you could follow him one of them grabbed your foot, he turned and tried biting your leg, pulling you down and trying to bite you again, you had your arm on its neck, pushing it away, Carl used your knife and stabbed it in the head and pulling it out, he helped you up "you okay?" "yeah, let's go before walkers come" you replied, walking to the door and opened the door, unlocking the car and popping the boot open you put your bags in it, Carl noticed the look on your face and held your hand "survival of the fittest, it was either you or them and I'm glad it wasn't you, I don't want to lose anyone else" he smiled slightly at you then lets go of your hand, walking to the passengers seat, smiling and closing the boot you made your way to the drivers seat and started the car, taking the hand break off you drove back to the prison, it wasn't a quiet drive, you both spoke for most of the drive

Pulling up to the gates and waiting for them to open the gates wasn't that long of a wait, driving up to the others you both got out and opened the boot, you boy sat on the hood of the car when Rick came over to you and Carl "we thought something had happened and were getting ready to look for you" "no we're fine Dad" "good" Rick smiled and hugged Carl "I also got some toys for Judith" you hopped off the car and helped everyone bring the food in Maggie looked at you "what's with the bruises on your neck?" "Oh, we ran into trouble, had to kill 2 people" "well at least you both lil ass kickers made it back" Daryl said, you nodded and walked inside

You've been in your cell since you got back, you were reading one of your books and yawned, you laid down, still reading you looked at your cell door and saw Carl "uh.. Dinners ready" "okay" you replied with a smile and stood up, placing your book on your bed and getting up, Carl led the way and you followed, "so what's the book about?" "Just survival, there's this yearly thing where they get put into this dome like arena, they have to kill other humans and the survivors say they'll eat poisonous berries if they don't both win since they're teammates, I would've said from the same district but you wouldn't get it" "sounds good" "it is" "foods getting cold" Carol said with a smile, passing a bowl to you and Carl, you both say down and ate, after saying goodnight you went to your cell and fell asleep
