(Enid's POV)
I shut my eyes as a gun went off again, and again, and again...
When I didn't feel any pain, I opened my eyes, seeing all of Negan's men on the ground.
Dead.
Gone...
I looked at Lidya, who had a gun in her hand.
Hold on...
She shot them?!
I looked towards Carl, who was running towards me as I stood up.
I felt his strong arms around me, holding me close...
"What the hell!?" Negan screamed out loud, but I didn't care.
Not a single bit.
"Run..." Carl whispered in my ear.
I looked up at him.
"What?"
"Run. Go with the others. I'll be fine. Just go."
I felt my eyes watering with tears until I felt a barrel of a gun on my temple.
"You heard him."
That voice...
Lidya.
"But... Carl-" I started, but he pulled my head to his, our lips touching.
Why is he doing this?!
He let's me go, Lidya still pointing the gun towards me.
"Go. I'll be fine." He said before shoving me over to Glenn, who grabbed my arm and ran, dragging me with him.
"No! No!!" I screamed but Negan didn't seem to notice us running away, because his head was turned towards Carl and Lidya.
"Carl!" I screamed as we ran further away from them. "Carl!!"
We kept on running until I couldn't see them anymore.
I shook my arm away from Glenn and started to run back, but Glenn tackled me down.
I was sobbing.
"Let me go! We have to go back!!" I yelled, tears coating my cheeks.
"We're not going back there! I don't want us to risk our lives!" Said Rick.
Glenn got off of me and I stood up, staring at Rick with sadness and anger in my eyes.
"But he's your son! He's in danger!"
Rick was quiet for a moment, looking over at Michonne, then looking back at me.
"We're not going back." He repeated.
"But-"
"We're not going back!"
I gulped, looking back. All I could see are trees and bushes.
And darkness, of course.
"Alright guys. Who wants to take watch?" Rick asked.
"I will." Glenn said, raising a hand up slightly.
I quickly raised mine up as well. "Me too."
"Enid... You need to rest." Daryl chimed in.
"No. I can do it." I said, furrowing my brows.
Daryl let's out a sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Fine... I'll keep watch as well." He mutters, glancing over at me.
The others laid down and went to sleep, all except Daryl, Glenn, and I.
I sat on a log, sharpening my knife.
"I wonder if he's still alive..." I muttered softly. "If Lidya kills Carl, I'll kill her."
"Kill who?"
I jumped a little and turned my head, seeing Glenn. He sat down next to me.
"Just... Someone."
"Who?"
"A girl." I replied.
"What's her name?" Glenn asked.
"Lydia... She almost shot me with a gun, but thank God Carl pushed me before she had a chance to pull the trigger..."
"Hmm..." He hummed.
"I don't like her... I have a feeling, like she's going to kill him or something... Maybe torture him..."
Glenn wrapped an arm around me, rubbing my shoulder.
"It's going to be fine. Don't worry."
I shook his hand off of my shoulder.
"But what if Carl dies? What if I never see him again?" I felt tears blur my vision.
Glenn puts his arm around me and gave my left shoulder a squeeze.
"You will see him again. I promise." He says before putting his hand on my head and ruffling my hair.
I gave him a small smile and chuckled softly. "I really hope you're right..."
"I am right. Now, you should really get some rest. We're going to find him in the morning."
I nodded and laid down on the ground, laying my knife down beside me.
I closed my eyes, my mind wandering.
I thought about my parents, Ron, Jessie, Sam, Pete...
Everyone...
And Carl...
I began to cry until I drifted off to sleep.

~~~
Should I ask questions on this book and you guys could answer? 😕 I'm just curious...
1: What do you think is going to happen with Carl and Negan?
2: Is Lidya going to kill Enid? Or is Enid going to kill Lidya?
