Fate or Hell

Chapter 2: The Prison

I open my eyes but don't see the sky anymore . I see a bunk above me. I'm laying on uncomfortable bed. I sit up and look at my surroundings. There's a small sink, small toilet, another bed and the door is barred like if I was in a jail cell...oh wait I am in a jail cell. Jesus was sleeping on the bed across from me. I grab the pillow I was sleeping on and throw it at him. He catches it without even looking then opens his eyes and smirks at me

Me: Dammit; how do you do that?

Jesus: Just special, that's all

I roll my eyes then get off the bed. He does the same and hugs me tightly. I do the same

Me: Where are we?

Right when he's about to answer I interrupt

Me: and don't say prison smart ass

He laughs

Jesus: We are in one led by a big group of people

Me: You mean they saved us?

Jesus: Yes but unfortunately they locked us in here because we are strangers in their territory

Me: Wait; how long have I been out?

Jesus: Two days. A man named Hershel has been taking care of us

I walk around the room

Me: Jesus; did they...

Jesus: Yes they have our weapons

Me: Damn dad gave us those

Jesus: Would you trust strangers with loaded weapons?

Me: Hell no

Jesus: Well there you go

Me: Well since you've been around longer than me; have you met with their leader

Jesus: All I know is that he hasn't been acting normal because his wife passed from giving birth

Me: Damn...poor guy

Suddenly the cell door opens. Two men walk in glaring at us

??: Nice to see the two of you standing. My name's Shane and this is Daryl. We're going to ask you some questions; if that's alright?

Jesus: That's fine

Shane: How many walkers have you killed?

Jesus: About ten or more

Me: Fifteen

Daryl: How many people have you killed?

Me: None

Jesus: One

Daryl: Why?

Jesus: He killed our parents in front of us, kept us as slaves, and almost raped her

He points at me. I look down staring at the ground

Jesus: So I killed him before he did, we escaped, then you found us

Daryl: And were you followed?

Jesus: No they were distracted by a herd of zombies

Daryl: I see

Me: Look I see why your keeping us locked in here but we are good people and we can be very helpful for your community

Shane: We heard that many times and we always fall for it

He loads his gun

Jesus: Wait; so you're just going to kill us?

Shane: Can't take anymore chances

He points the gun at us. I quickly grab Jesus's hand

Jesus: No wait!

??: Shane put the gun down

Shane: Let me handle this Rick

Rick grabs Shane's gun and lowers it

Rick: Go wait outside

Shane: What?!

Rick glares at him

Rick: Get out!

Shane walks out pissed off. I let out a sigh of relief. Jesus pulls me to him then looks at Rick

Daryl: You sure you should be here Rick?

Rick: I'm fine

Rick walks over to us giving us this look like if he wasn't right in the head

Rick: Daryl said he found the both of you unconscious on the road. Hershel was the one taking care of you guys. Now that I see your both alive and well I think it's best if you go on your way

Me: Please you can trust us. We want to stay and help, it's not safe for us to be out there

Jesus: Give us a chance. We'll follow your rules, we won't talk to anyone, look at anyone

Rick just stares at us then goes over to Daryl

Rick: What do you think?

Daryl: I think we should give them a chance. We can keep an close eye on them. They've been through hell

Shane is listening outside the cell, leaning against the wall with his arms folded. Rick walks back to us

Rick: You can stay

Me and Jesus smile at each other

Rick: But...

We quickly look at him

Rick: If I find out you have some group outside the walls or if you even try to attack us, I will kill the both of you; is that clear?

We both nod

Jesus: Thank you umm...

Rick: names Rick

Jesus: Thank you Rick. My name's Jesus and this is my sister Celina

I wave shyly. He nods then walks out. Daryl follows then looks at us

Daryl: well come on now

Daryl walks out as we followed
