All My Fault [The Walking Dead fanfic]

Home is where the prisoner is

Walkers came from all sides. Rick went inside. I took out my knife, getting ready to attack. I drove my knife into the nearest walker and Michonne severed the limbs of another.

"Run!" Kailey shouted as she kicked a walker away.

But when one grabbed her as Michonne and I ran away, she swung it over her shoulders and shoved her knife into the eye of the walker. As I watched, a walker took hold of my arm and prepared to sink it's teeth into my skin. I struggled to release myself. I fell to the ground and the only thing I could do is stab it's stomach. Guts and blood covered me and the walker fell on me. In disgust I pushed it away and rolled over. The left over walkers shuffled past me without even a look. The walker I stabbed still attempted to reach me but it was just an inch too far. I got up and wiped some of the walker blood off of me.

"You alright?" Somebody asked. I turned to see a man behind the fence of the prison.

When I realised that Michonne and Kailey were gone, I said, "Help me."

The man was a prisoner. He opened gates and let me into a courtyard. Corpses of other prisoners lay still on the ground.

"You did this?" I ask him.

"No. A group of people took 'em out and took over the prison," the man stated.

I knew he was talking about Rick. The prisoner explained that his name was Axel and that the other prisoners were killed by either the group of the walkers. The group wouldn't do that... Would they? He opened the door to Cell Block C and I saw the group. I saw Elise, Leo, Jordan, Luke, Lori, Carl, Rick, Shane, Carol, Sophia, Daryl, Merle, Hershal, Beth, Maggie, Glenn and some girl.

Without question I ran into Elise's arms.

"Luke said you had died at the farm!" Elise said.

After Elise left my side, Lori put her arms around me.

"Oh, god, Lori! Your stomach!" I gasped.

I could easily see that she was pregnant now. It looked as if the baby would come soon.

"Yeah, I know. I've gotten fat," She said with a laugh.

I hugged Sophia, Carl, Jordan and Leo. I was glad to be back with the people I considered family.

"This is Missy," Leo introduced me to the girl.

"Hello," She smiled at me.

"Great to meet you," I said.

I was glad to see that Daryl and Sophia were back to health. I talked with the group. But I froze in place when Rick put a hand on my shoulder.

"Were all infected," He said.

His voice echoed throughout the cell block. Not another word was uttered.

"What?" I ask, clearly confused.

"If I put a bullet through your chest, then you'd die. But you wouldn't die. You'd come back as a walker," Rick stated.

Words could not express the way I felt.

***********************************************

After receiving such news, I decided to go to bed. Elise and I slept in the same room, me sleeping on the bottom bunk and her on the top. She bent over and lightly kissed my cheek.

"I'm so glad your back," She whispered. "I love you."

"I love you too," I replied.

When my eyes finally shut, I was pulled into my dream world.
