Stronger than before...

What now?

"What the hell did you do?" I asked Bella

She was shaking really bad, whatever the hell was going on had to be really bad.

I was scared now too. I mean she comes rushing into the cell covered in blood, who wouldn't be frightened?

"I- We... D-Daniel and I were in Carols class yesterday and... And we were messing around and found her key th-that unlocked the gate in the back" Bella began "We... thought... We thought it would be a good idea to go out there today and everything was going okay at first and then-"

"Dinner!" Someone yelled from outside the cell

"Oh shit" Bella said frightened as she was still on edge

We sat there for a moment as the prison became full of loud noise, everyone was leaving there cell and going outside to eat.

"Finish the story" I said when it got quiet "what happened?"

"Well... everything was going okay at first... and... and then D-Daniel and I found this old car" Bella stuttered "and we hung out-t there for a couple hours... and then.. next thing you know we got surrounded by w-walkers. We... tried to fight them off but then he... He got-t bit"

She was in tears now, I felt bad for her. She had lost her father not to long ago and now her friend.

"What happened after he got bit?" I asked a little scared for the answer

"He started screaming in pain, and-d I... I didn't know what to do... His screams just started bringing in more walkers s-so I just... I just ran." She said as she sat down on my bed

I could see the fear and guilt in her eyes, I put a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.

"It's okay" I said not really knowing what to say "you had no choice"

"He's dead because of me" she said as she started crying more

"Bella-" I began to say before I was cut off

"Clem!" Someone yelled from outside the cell

"I'll be right back" I whispered to Bella

I got off my bed and wiped the tears out of my eyes, I took a deep breathe and then opened the curtains. I saw Carl standing near the door that led to the exit of Block A.

"Are you coming for dinner?" He asked

"Uh...." I said "yeah I'll be out there soon, just give me a minute"

"Okay" Carl said as he headed back outside

I went back into my cell and found Bella, she hadn't moved an inch from where she was sitting.

"Okay..." I said trying to figure out what to do "Did Daniel have any relatives?"

"No" she said "His sister... She died from the flu going around, he shared a room with some other guy in block D"

"Okay" I said thinking of what to do "Right now you need to go take a shower, get that blood off of you and put on clean clothes"

She looked at me in disbelief.

"What?" She asked sounding confused "I just told you that I practically killed Daniel and you want me to take a shower?"

"Yeah" I said as I sat down next to her "We can't do anything about Daniel now. If he's bit then... then it's too late. Right now you need to clean up so nobody starts asking questions"
