Carl's POV 👏🏽👏🏽

She was beautiful.

She has beautiful hair and beautiful eyes. She had beautiful skin and a beautiful voice.

I'm so excited that my dad decided to let her stay with me in my room, it used to get really lonely being the only one in my room.

"Where's your stuff?" I asked with a slight sense of humor in my voice.

"I don't have any," she responded flatly. A confused look came onto my face and I assumed she noticed because she then explained why she didn't have anything.

"I was in the woods with my boyfriend and he got bit. I just ran as far as I could." She said shrugging her shoulders lightly as she spoke. She had her arms rested on the table and she was twiddling her thumbs as she spoke, no longer looking as me.

She them pulled out a gun, 4 bullets, and two knives from a holster that I hadn't seen because it was facing away from me.

"This is what I had with me when we went hunting so it's all I have with me now" she said still looking at the table. She slowly raised her head as she explained to me that she was in so much shock that she didn't think to go back to her camp and how she just ran, ran until she stumbled upon us, stumbled upon me...

Lainie's POV (still following the current timeline, just from now on in Lainie's POV)

I came towards him and sat on the bed next to him. I had my arms behind me supporting me and I rested my head on his shoulder. I began to tell him about Derek and what he had done to me and how I tried to save him after all he had done but just ended up leaving him in the woods, he was bit, he was going to die but still not soon enough.

"Dinner!" Rick called from down the hall as me and Carl stood up and walked to the large open room filled with wooden benches. I could see Carol and Beth whom I'd met when I first got to the prison. They were serving country baked beans and a small ration of meat that they had gotten from the pigs out front.

"Hi Carol, hi Beth!" I said happily as they served me the warn beans with steam rising from them and meat.

"Hi, uhh, Lainie is it?" Carol asked as a smiled slowly came to her face.

"Yes ma'am," I replied

"Hi Lainie!" Beth said excitedly as she served me the meat she had cooked in a cast iron skillet they found once they infiltrated the prison which she had explained to me. From what I've heard, this prison had a lot of valuable things from before the apocalypse.

I went to go sit down by Carl who has already gotten his food and started eating it.

"Hey Lainie!" He greeted me as I took my seat by him.

"Hi Carl, after we eat do you want to go play some card games? I found some cards under the be-"

I was cut off my a large figure emerging from the door that leads into what we considered to be the dining room. The room fell silent. He stood tall and hunched over, breathing heavily as thick, dark red blood poured down his left shoulder, he finally talked.

"Where the hell is that fucking bitch?"

OMG long chapter with a lot of excitement!! Next chapter should be out by tomorrow and packed full of action! I'm thinking about adding Rick's POV in the next part and probably will.☺️ but anywho
