Shadow (TWD Carl)

~Chapter 10~

"She's out like a light. Must be days since she slept." Hershel told us. Michonne got back with the group a little while ago but she wasn't conscious when she arrived. Rick doesn't seem very happy at the moment and I'm a little worried about the situation we're in. "You look pretty shot yourself." Hershel directs to Rick.

"How long before she can travel?" Rick interrogates.

"Have to keep an eye on her. Pretty sure she has a concussion. Couple of days if she's up."

"I'll look out for her." I volunteer. Rick and Hershel just nod before locking me in my cell with Michonne. I'm no longer sharing a cell with my family because there isn't enough room and they have decided to temporarily spare a cell for Michonne and I.

"When Michonne wakes up and is healthy again, I want you all out. You're just adding to my list of problems." Rick spits at me. I look at him with no emotion.

How could he?! He hasn't even given us an actual chance.

The two walk off and join a group conversation with their original team.

If he thinks we're a problem then how is he gonna deal with Tyreese and Sasha's group?

"So what now?" I heard Beth ask. "You think the Governor will retaliate?"

"He will." I quietly insert but I kept my mouth shut after receiving a look from Rick, probably telling me to shut up. I forgot that even the littlest sounds echo throughout the prison, increasing in volume too.

"Let him try." Rick replied.

"Sounds like he's got a whole town. We're outnumbered and outgunned." I heard Carol state.

"We could use some reinforcements." Hershel partially suggested. The group walked away into Tyreese's cell after that. I couldn't really focus on what they were talking about because I had thought about what Rick said to me.

"When Michonne wakes up and is healthy again, I want you all out. You're just adding to my list of problems." What the hell?! I didn't do anything. Unless Michonne did something Rick wasn't happy with. *gasp* what if it was my fault? The objective I set for her, is that why he's mad?

"No, no. No, no, no, no. No. No, no, no, no, no." I heard this repetition coming from Tyreese's cell and it sounded like Rick was in distress. "Why are you here? What do you want from me?"

"Dad?" Carl asked, sounding a little bit frightened, probably from the way his dad was acting.

"Why are you-- no. I can't help you. Get out!" I heard Rick yell.

"What the bloody hell is going on out there?" I stand up and try to get a glimpse of what was happening in Tyreese's cell.

"Get-- get out!" A lot of voices followed, too many for me to figure out what was being said. "You don't belong here! Get out!"

I heard someone trying to calm Rick down but it was followed by more of Rick's screams. "What are you doing here?!"

"Okay, we're going." I heard Tyreese spurt out.

"Just go! Go! Go!"

That takes care of Tyreese's group I guess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rick left to get some fresh air, he seemed to be hallucinating a bit. Michonne woke up a little while a go but refused to talk to me.

Is she angry at me for what I asked of her?

I sigh and exit the cell as Carl came to unlock it, saying we can roam parts of the prison as long as someone was watching us. Michonne followed Rick, probably curious as to what happened. Carl asked me to go with him a while later and help with a map of the prison. I help tell them the layout with Michonne coming back in to help. I wasn't of much use though.
