Help Her

Sanctuary is Not what it Seems

(AUTUMNS POV)

We started walking to Terminus when the kid named Carl came by me.

"How long were you with that group?" I shrugged.

"I don't know. A long time." He nodded his head.

"Did you have family before this?" I nodded my head.

"I was with my older brother."

"What about your parents?" I looked at him.

"My mom died before this whole thing happened and my dad..." I thought for a moment.

"He was just gone." He nodded his head.

"I killed my mom." I looked at him in shock.

"I had to. She had my little sister and I shot her in the head."

"Carl...you didn't kill her.  You stopped her from turning." He shrugged.

"Alight. We but some of the guns in here in case things go south." Rick took some of the weapons and put it in the bag, barring it.

"What do you mean things go South?" I asked a little scared.

"What would they do?" I thought I was free.

"Calm down. Calm down. Not what you are thinking." Rick said. 

"Then what?" I asked.

"No ones going to hurt you." Daryl said and we started to walk inside.

We got in one of the building when they looked at us.

"Hello." Rick said and a guy out something down.

"Well. Looks like Albert is on premier watch."  He walked towards us.

"You here to rob us?" He asked.

"No. We wanted to see you before you saw us." Rick said.

"Makes sense." He walked closer. "Usually we do this where the tracks meet."

"Welcome to Terminus. I'm Garret." I looked at him and I had an odd feeling about this place.

"Looks like you've been in the rode for a good bit."

"We have."

"Rick, that's Carl, Daryl, Michonne, and Autumn." He did a wave then came closer.

"You're nervous I get it. We all were the same way. We came here for sanctuary...is that what you're here for?" Rick nodded.

"Yes."

"Good." Garret responded.

"Hey Alex." A man came forward.

"It isn't pretty as the front. But the welcome wagon is a whole lot nicer."

"Alex will take you, if you have a few questions. But first, we need to see everyone's weapons." We looked at each other.

"If you could just lay them down in front of you."

Rick nodded his head and started to do it and we followed. Garret then came and patted us down then handed our weapons back to us.

"Follow me." Alex said and Garret stopped them.

"Wait. Autumn you look like you know some art, want to help us with the signs?" I looked at Rick then Daryl.  They both nodded their heads, saying it was okay.

"Sure. I've always liked art." Garret smiled and put a hand on my back and led me to the table.  After they left, Garret followed them later and then I heard some guns go off and looked around.

"What's going on?" More guns went off.

"Come with me." A women said and I followed her. 

"In that order." I heard Garret.

"What!  Stop!" She kept pushing me and then when I turned the cart closed.

What's in there?
