Becca's Story II: The Spilt

Chapter One: The Truth

"So what's going on?" Carl asked as we lied down next to each other in the guard tower, "nothing, I'm just surprised we've all gone this far," I said looking to him. I lied there playing with a stuffed animal I found on a run, and as I necklace I put Nina's cross bracelet on it. "I still can't get over Nina, I don't want her gone," I said, "I know how you feel, but there's a time when you need to," Carl said "it's I'm over her, but I cant get over that she is dead," I said. I had my hands on my knees and Carl moved his hand onto mine, I looked over at him and we both smiled at each other, "you know if you want to talk to me about it I'm here for you..." Carl said, "I know, but... I just don't want to talk about her right now, I don't want to start crying," I said laughing a little. Carl then moved his hand and laughed a little too. I lied on his shoulder for 10 seconds and then moved because I felt a little uncomfortable being on my friends shoulder. "Carl!" Rick yelled, "you should go see what your dad wants," I said "yeah probably." Carl replied and walked out. I looked around the guard tower and saw everything we've done to it. It had drawings in the tower with pillows and blankets everywhere, I then got up and left the guard tower and I saw Glenn and Maggie walking around and I smiled at them. All of a sudden I got jumped on and I fell in the grass, "what the hell!" I said laughing, "you should really keep an eye on your back," Carl said laughing, "you know what Carl shut the hell up," I said laughing. I pushed Carl off of me and slapped him and then we just lied there in the grass, "so what did your dad need?" I asked, "I don't remember," Carl said laughing. "well, you are an idiot," I said starting to laugh, "you know what," Carl said slapping my arm, "ow you jerk!" I said. I both just lied there staring at the clouds joking around. Sometimes I would think to myself how we have no more stories to tell, that we're always together, never apart anymore. The only stories we have is if I go out on a run and that's if no one else volunteers. Me and Carl just lied there until sun down and we eventually went inside. "I guess I know how you feel," Kat said, "what do you mean?" I asked, "my uncle, that fact that he might be dead," she said, "but that doesn't mean he is," I said, "my sisters are dead, so are my parents, I'm thankful that my brother is alive, along with my sister-n-laws and Hershel," I said, "what about your boyfriend?" Kat asked, "who Carl? He isn't my boyfriend" I said, "well you guys sure do act like you guys are together, you have to at least have feelings for him," she said, "I don't like him, he's just my friend," I said, "what ever you say," Kat said, "see ya tomorrow, I'm heading to my room," Kat said walking away. I rolled my eyes and lied down and fell asleep. I woke up the next morning by Lucy shaking me, "what the hell do you want," I said peeping one eye open, "Alexis wants to see you," Lucy said with a smile, "tell Alexis to wait," I said, "I want to sleep," "well Alexis wants to play" Lucy said putting her on my back as Alexis started hitting my back, "Lucy I'm gonna murder you, get her off my back," I said. Lucy was laughing and she picked Alexis off my back and put her on the floor, I sat up and looked at her, "it was Carl's idea," she said laughing, "well now he's gonna die," I said, "get out so I can get changed into clothes so I can go kill Carl" I finished. Lucy grabbed Alexis and left the room laughing, I shut the cell door pulling a cloth in front of the entrance so no one could see me changing into my clothes. I opened the cloth and walked out of my cell and went outside, I put my hand on my knife as I walked over to Carl. He looked at me and saw the evil in my eyes from a mile away, he then bolted I ran after him, Rick saw me and he started laughing, Carl thought he was safe but then when he hid I came up from behind him and attacked him. I got him on the ground pointing my knife at him, "why are you going to kill me?" He asked, "because it was your smart idea to wake me up by telling Lucy to put Alexis on my back," I said, "I didn't do that, this is the how 9th time Lucy blamed something onto me to piss you off," Carl said, "UGHH" I yelled, "that means I have to kill her." I helped up Carl putting my knife away and we walked back to Rick. "Look, Violet isn't getting any better," Carl said, "I don't think she's gonna last the rest of today, I think after today she is gonna die," I said looking at them, "this is why we only name the pigs when they're piglets because now someone is going to cry that she had died," Rick said, "Rick, for everyone here, Violet's death will be like a walker's death, when was the last time anyone came and took any care of the pigs?" I said laughing a little. "Well, let's just see what happens, maybe she wont die," Rick said, "doubt that Rick," I said. "Michonne's back!" I said looking to the gate seeing her come back on her horse. We all ran over there and opened the gates, since the Governor busted down our gates the first time, during the first fight, we had to re-build floors, to keep the walkers away from the fields and from the pigs and horse. We pulled the chain opening the gate and then quickly closed them back up so no walkers would get in. "What'd you get?" Carl asked, "I got you these," Michonne said handing him a couple of comics after she had gotten off the horse, "here, I found a razor, it's electric, your face is losing the war," Michonne said handing Rick a razor, "I also found all of us a candy bar," she finished handing us all a candy bar. "Thanks Michonne," I said, "yeah, thanks," Carl said too, "thanks," Rick said, "race ya to the guard tower," Carl said running, "no fair you didn't give any warning!" I said running after him. I soon caught up to him and ran past him, "hey that's no fair!" Carl said. I looked back when I ran into Patrick, we both fell on the ground and I rolled down a hill while Patrick just fell. I lied down in the grass feeling pain all over my body. Carl looked down at me and I looked back up and I saw him laughing really hard, "I'm sorry," Patrick said helping me up, "don't be, I wasn't looking, it's all good," I said. I grabbed a rock I saw on the ground and threw it at Carl, "ow you know what," Carl said running after me. I started running when Carl hit Patrick making him join us, we eventually look a break when we saw Lizzie, Mika and a few other kids talking to walkers. "What the hell are you doing?" Carl said, "we're talking to the walkers, that one's name is Nick, then there's Ben and-" Mika said, "that's stupid," Carl said, "Carl, let them have their fun, there is no more fun in this world, do let them believe," I said, "but Becca it's weird and not normal," Carl said, "they're all human," Lizzie said, "no they're not, they're dead" Carl said, "they used to be," she said, "but they're not anymore," Carl said, "Carl stop, let them have their fun," I said. All the kids walked away and I stared at Carl, "what?" he asked, "that was rude, that's their way of having fun, they're bored Carl, they can't find any fun here and I can see why," I said, "what ever it's over with," Carl said, "hey I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to story time," Patrick said, "you go to that?" Carl said, "yeah, it's great to be able to listen to stories without having to read them yourself," Patrick said, "have fun," I said walking away with Carl. Carl and I walked to the guard tower and Carl was reading some comics and I was sitting off the edge if the guard tower. I was looking down when Carl sat next to me, "what's so cool about sitting here to your death?" Carl asked, "it gives me time to think," I said, "what about?" he asked, "just, the past, the present and future, I think of stuff that has happened to me before and after all of this, and then I think of stuff that has been happening lately and then I think of stuff that I'm hopeful about in my future," I said, "you know it's not good to think of the past," he said, "I don't care, I just want to think about things, think about how things could've been different and what could have been changed to keep something from happening," I said, "everything has happened though, and it's over," Carl said, "I know, but some things I hope didn't happen and that it should have happened differently. When my dad killed himself, he wasn't all there, he had gone a bit crazy, or else he probably wouldn't have killed himself, especially in front of me," I said, "listen Becca, everything that had happened is done, you just need to stop thinking about it and need to move on," Carl said, "I know, but still," I said. It was quiet for a few minutes until Carl asked me something, "want to go to story time with me, see what goes on in there?" He asked, "I thought story time was for kids?" I said messing around, "I know, but I want to see what type of stuff they read about and all that, and see how many kids actually go," he said, "probably almost all of them," I said, "coming with me or not?" He asked, "yeah I'll come," I said getting up. We walked to the library and was listening to what Carol was saying about the story, I was looking in a book when someone left and Carol suddenly closed the book. I looked over along with Carl when Carol brought out a box, "today we're going to learn about knives, how to use them, how to protect yourself with them in case you have to use it," Carol said. Carol had a conversation with Patrick as he said he was sick and he left. Carol suddenly looked over and saw Carl and I was listening and was watching, "please don't tell your dad," Carol pleaded to Carl. Carl then grabbed my hand pulling me out of the library and went back into the guard tower, "I cant believe Carol was doing that, especially behind my dad's back," Carl said, "she had her reasons, she wanted to help them so they knew how to fight, Carol lost her daughter, she doesn't want anyone else's kids dying," I said, "it doesn't matter Becca, she should've told my dad in stead of doing it anyways," Carl said, "well I'm gonna go get some food, want any?" I asked, "no I'm good," I started leaving when I looked at Carl, "are you gonna tell your dad?" I asked, Carl looked up to me staring at me straight in the eye, "yeah, I am," he said. I left to guard tower and went to the food station that was built during the winter. I walked by Rick and I hit him in the shoulder and when he went to turn around I went behind him again so he wouldn't see me and I hit his shoulder again and this went on for a couple of seconds until when he went to turn around he grabbed my arm, "what they hell were you doing?" Rick said, "I don't know, can you grab me a small piece of meat though," I asked, "yeah sure," Rick said. He grabbed me a small piece of meat and a plate handing it to me, "thanks," I said, "no problem," he said. I walked away and ate the meat and threw away the plate. I went back to the guard tower and I lied down to relax. When I got up there I saw Carl wasn't there anymore so I just lied down and eventually fell asleep taking a nap. I woke up before the sun had set, I left the guard tower and saw Carl talking to Rick. Carl looked over to me when I suddenly felt light headed. I stopped for a second trying to get my balance back, I looked back over to Carl and he saw that I couldn't keep my balance when everything suddenly went black. I woke up with a small picture of light, my hand was being held. I looked to my left and saw it was Glenn holding my hand, "are you okay?" He asked, "wait, what happened?" I asked, "Carl said you suddenly passed out after leaving the guard tower so Rick had to pick you up and brought you in here," Glenn said, "oh, I don't remember much, everything is blank after I left the guard tower," I said. Glenn checked my tempeture by touching my forehead and he said that it was burning hot, like as if I was turning. When Glenn said that I started to flip out, turning, I couldn't be dying. I doubt that meat was bitten by a walker and I haven't been near any walkers besides the ones behind the fence. Glenn quickly went and called for Rick and Hershel. I looked outside my cell and saw Daryl walking by to go talk to someone, I went to get up when Rick Hershel and Glenn walked back in, "so what's going on?" Rick asked, "he has a fever, as if she was turning, and you can see her starting to sweat really bad," Glenn said. Hershel felt my forehead, "wow, that's hotter then if she was turning," Hershel said, "she needs to soak under cold water so her brain wont fry." Hershel Rick and Glenn brought me to the bathroom and ran my body especially my head under some cold water. They did this for about 15 minutes and then dried my off and lied me down in my bed, "that should help, if not we need to find out what we need to do," Hershel said. "What's happening?" Carl asked walking up, "I'll talk to Carl alone," Rick said walking away with him, "Becca I promise you'll be fine, you're gonna be able to fight off what ever you have," Glenn said, "I just want to know what's wrong with me, I want to know why I'm sick," I said, "did you eat anything that could have made you sick?" He asked, "I head cereal, and some of the food Daryl caught the other day, that's all I had," I said, "maybe it was the cereal," Hershel said, "no it was still good," I said. For a while we talked about what was wrong with me but then we desided to just go to bed and talk about it more in the morning. So we all went to bed for th night.
