Beth POV
I walk up to Lexa as she washes the dishes from breakfast. She looks at me, smiling.
"Beth, that's right, right?" She asks. It makes me sad, but I push that aside, remembering why I'm standing her.
"Yeah, um, I need to ask you somethin'." I say, leaning on the counter.
"Fire away." She says, drying a plate.
"Okay, my sister, Maggie, she had something in her room, and we were wondering if you know who took it." I explain. She looks at me, then continues working.
"I do. I took the test, Beth." She tells me, straight forward. "I'm not pregnant. Tell your sister I'm sorry."
I let it sink in, looking at her. "Okay, I'll be sure to tell her that."
I take some beans and a bowl, starting to smash the beans. Daryl, Glenn and Michonne didn't come back yesterday, so I have to make Judith's food. I scared they won't come back, but I can't think that way.
There's always hope.
I smashing the beans, adding the tiniest amount of water to it. It smooths out and I go to get Judith. I pick up the girl, smiling at her. She giggles as I walk to the table.
She's adorable.
Daryl POV
I sit up, rubbin' my eyes as the sun shines. I look at Glenn, who's lookin' down from the roof. We all must'a fell asleep up here. Damn walkers.
"Did the herd pass?" I ask, standin' up.
"Yeah, we were just letting you get your beauty sleep." Michonne says, looking over at me. She chuckles and turns her head.
Glenn cracks a smile. "When ever you're ready."
"I'm ready now." I say, slingin' my crossbow onto my shoulder. I make my way over the tha ladder, climbing down with ease.
Glenn follows, then Michonne. They haul the bags of supplies to tha car and pile in. I follow, sittin' in passenger as Michonne starts to drive down the road.
I think about everyone back at the prison. Lexa, she's fine, most likely. She's always gettin' into trouble. Carl, he's gonna be in some trouble. Rick's gonna flip. Maggie'll try and stop it all. Hershel's gonna make peace. Ryan and Mika won't even get involved. Beth'll, Beth's gonna be jus' fine. She's strong and caring.
Beth's gonna make it, no matter what.
Carl POV
I'm pulled into my cell by the back of my shirt. I turn and see Lexa smiling and me. She kisses me, pinning me to the wall. Her fingers find my hair, tugging slightly.
"I love you." She breathes, pulling back. She smiles at me. "We can do it again, y'know. I'm not pregnant."
"Really?" Then I remember last night. "That's great, but, we shouldn't risk it again."
"I've got that ." She says, digging in her pocket. She takes out a small, unopened wrapper.
I take the condom from her, smiling. "You're bad."
"I know I am, but you like it." She growls, pulling me closer. She isn't wrong. I like this, a lot.
She slams her lips to mine, leading me to the bed.
Lexa POV
I smile contently, looks over to the sleeping form of Carl Grimes, my boyfriend. I love him. I ease out bed, grabbing my clothes and getting dressed quickly. I sneak into the dark cell block, grabbing a bottle of water and a .
As I walk back to my cell, I hear a horrid some. the of a knife meeting a bone. The some of bone breaking. Blood hitting the floor.
I turn my head, seeing a small figure hunched over a dead body. I get closer, peeking in. The smaller figure turns to me, blood covered hands and a sinister smile on her features. Lizzie smiles at me.
"Don't worry. He'll come back. I didn't hurt his brain. I'll even care for him." She says. I look at the body, seeing her own father laying there, his chest butchered.
I scream in horror as she stands, coming closer. I stumble back, hitting my head. I crawl back, as far away from the girl as possible. I scream again, in shock and .
Lights come on, blinding me for a second. Everyone runs in, ready to protect themselves. Seeing me, they stop, few coming over to me, while others run to Lizzie.
Carl comes running to my side, bare from the waist up. He wraps his arms around me as the room starts to spin. I look at him, fear and worry in his eyes.
I can hear yelling and crying, Lizzie's crying, or maybe Mika. I can't tell now.
My vision starts to blacken as the pain in my head grows.
I'm out.
