Becca's Story II: The Spilt

Chapter Three: The turn

All of yesterday, I just rested and slept and hung out with Glenn, there wasn't much to do yesterday since we're trapped in a cell block unable to get out until we get the medication or feel better, or die. Some people already died while being cared for, Hershel and Glenn takes the bodies, puts them on a gurney, stabs them in the head and burns then behind the prison. We usually burry them, but so many people are dying, we can't do that anymore, we have to kill them and burn them. It saddens me we can't burry them anymore, I want to be able to see people get buried and mourned for, it just feels like part of life, but lately there has been no meaning for life. Rick told me something, when we first started figuring out what was happening, the sickness, someone took Karen and David outside, killed them and just left them there. When Rick found out who killed them, he came to me and told me that is was Carol. I was shocked when he said that, it's nothing like Carol to just kill people who are part of her group, even if they're sick. Rick told me that he was taking her out today on a run, and said that she wasn't going to come back, I asked why, he told me it was for the sake of the group, he said what if she sneaks in and kills one of us. I started telling him that Carol wouldn't do that, especially since most of her friends and family is in here, like me Glenn, and Lizzie who she has been taking care of since her father died. I was laying in my bed, and Hershel brought me tea again, even though that's all I've been drinking since I got in here other then water, it still felt good, it was helping a lot with my fever and everything. I fell asleep soon, and it seemed like I was asleep all day because when I woke up it was really dark outside. I stood up and looked out the window and say the moon shinning in, I heard Hershel talking to someone and I went upstairs to Glenn's cell. "Hey," I said, "hey Becca," Glenn said, "still feel like crap?" I asked, "oh yeah, I sure do, I think we're all going to until we get the medication here," he said, "you know, the Governor is still out there... what if he finds us before they all come back with the medication," I said, "what did me and Hershel say, don't think like that, we need positivity that's what's keeping us alive, positivity and hope," Glenn said. It grew quiet after he said that, I didn't know what else to say, and I was too scared to say anything, all I kept thinking was 'what if this,' or 'what if that,'. I knew I needed to stop, but it's hard to stop thinking something when that's all you can think of saying, I hate thinking it but it's hard not to think it. Hershel then came in to talk to us when after a little while we heard something going on down stairs. I got up and quickly looked and saw people turned into walkers, "walkers!" I said. Hershel quickly got up and I ran to my cell, "Becca stay up there with Glenn," Hershel said to me, "I'm grabbing my gun first," I said as I got into my cell. I realized I lost it because I couldn't find it in my cell and I remembered, when Rick and Glenn helped me in here, I had my gun with me. I looked under the bed when a walker came towards me, he grabbed my arm and went to bite me as I started to scream. "Becca!!" I heard with the mix of my scream when a gun shot went off and the walker landed on my body. I quickly pushed it off and made sure it didn't bite me or scratch me, after I saw that it didn't do any damage to me I grabbed my gun and ran up to Glenn's cell. "Becca, are you ok!?" He asked me, "yeah I'm fine, I didn't get bit or anything, I thought I was going to but Hershel shot it," I said, "you shouldn't have gone after your gun, what if Hershel wasn't there? You would've died," Glenn said, "but I didn't, I didn't know I put my gun under my bed or else I would've found it sooner, but I'm fine, I'm not hurt I'm not bit and I'm not scratched," I said, "but what if you got--" Glenn said when he started coughing. "Glenn?" I said. He fell to the ground coughing when he started coughing up blood, "Hershel! Glenn needs help!" I screamed as I grabbed Glenn, "you're going to be ok, come on you're gonna be fine!" I said holding Glenn into my arms as tears started to roll down my face. Just in case I quickly shut the cell door so no walkers could get into the cell, and I grabbed my gun still holding Glenn. Two walkers then came to the cell doors, I looked up and pointed my gun at them and shot both walkers in the head and looked back down at Glenn and still was coughing up blood. I put Glenn down and had his head facing the ground so the blood would leave his mouth when I heard two gun shots go off at the same time. "Hershel hurry! I don't know how much Glenn is gonna last like this!" I yelled and cried even more. I couldn't think of a life without Glenn, all I had right now was Lucy, Alexis and Glenn, they were my only siblings still alive, not counting my in laws. "No don't! if you miss you'll shoot the tube and we need it for Glenn!" Hershel yelled to someone. A couple of seconds later I heard a gun shot and in about a minute later Maggie had ran in here, "daddy hurry! He's turning blue!" she yelled. Hershel then came in here and gave him the breathing tube and was helping Glenn breath when he soon passed out, "I told you not leave your cell," Hershel said to Lizzie, "I wanted to help," Lizzie said. Less then an hour later Daryl, Michonne, and Tyreese came into the cell block and gave us shots and the medication, "thank you," I said smiling to Daryl and Michonne. They looked at me as if to say you're welcome, then I got up and went into my cell and layed in my bed. "You know, tomorrow you should be able to leave this cell," Michonne said coming over to me, "yeah, I know, but what do I do when I get out of here?" I said looking at her sitting up, "there's your guard tower that you can Carl wont let anyone is, or you can go into the kid's quarantine," Michonne said, "I'm done being in quarantine," I said laughing, "then maybe you could help me in the morning, the gate broke, Carl and Rick had to kill all the walkers that got in there, want to help me take them out and burn them?" She asked, "yeah sure, it'll beat being in here any longer," I said with a small laugh. I had gone to sleep after me and Michonne finished talking, I just thought to myself how I'm not gonna be in here any more, I'm gonna be able to leave, I knew Glenn would still have to be in here because of what happened, but I got to go to sleep knowing that I will survive, and that I will be able to get out of here, that I'll to live to see another day. The next morning I walked out of the prison into the court yard and I became over happy being able to feel the warm sun on my skin and to have the sun shine into my eyes. Carl and I saw each other and we just smiled, we knew we couldn't hug because I was still a little infected but I was able to come outside. Michonne and I started picking up the walkers and putting them on a trailer and we were about to leave the prison when Hershel asked what we were doing and Michonne invited him to come with us. Michonne drove, Hershel sat in the front seat and I sat in the back on the trailer with the walkers. We grabbed all the walkers and put them in a pile and light them on fire when someone hit Michonne in the head with a gun, when I turned around, the person made Hershel put his gun down, and when I realized who it was, I wasn't surprised.
