Never Let You Go (Carl Grimes Fanfiction)

The Prison

Samanthas Pov.

We have been traveling the roads for at least 5 hours. We decided to settle down at an unknown abandoned house to rest and eat.

Me and Justin had our guns pointed in front of ourselves getting ready to shoot anything that tries to approach us. I stood behind him and we entered.

"Sam, go check the other rooms, ill check these up front." Justin told me and I nodded.

I entered a room which was most likely a little boys room. I checked the closets and it was clear. The next room I entered was a girls room with purple walls and pictures all over them. It was pretty big and a nice room. I put my gun down and smiled. I snooped around her drawers and found pictures of her. She had blonde hair, and a very pretty face. I looked in the other drawers and There was clothes inside. I could use some new clothes, right? I stuffed shirts and pants down my bag and when I was about to leave, a walker I didn't see took hold of my leg.

I screamed and kicked its head. It came from the closet I never checked.

Well, stupid me.

My first instinct was to shoot it and so I did.

"Samantha?! Are you okay?" Justin yelled running towards me.

I was breathing heavy but I nodded.

"Yea, I'm fine. Never saw that one coming." I told him and he pat my shoulder. I squat down and looked closely at it. I sighed and realized this room belongs to this walker.

"Im sorry this happened to you." I whispered to it as if she was listening.

I stood up to Go where Justin was and jerked my head towards the door.

"Im ready to go." I told him and we left.

We've been traveling non stop to find somewhere safe to stay. The sun was starting to sink into the horizon and to be quite honest, I get scared walking around in the dark. Yea yea, I Know it's only the dark. But nowadays you have to be aware of your surroundings.

I was thinking about things when I saw Justin stop.

"What happened?" I asked trying to look out in the distance to find what he's looking at.

He pointed his fingers over to a large building. I squinted my eyes to see if it was real.

I chuckled from disbelief and I looked at him.

"Lets go!" I shouted quietly and we ran.

We finally reached it. It was a prison. Good enough. There was gates and we followed to where it led to an opening. But when we got to it, we couldn't believe our eyes. There were other people. These people had a fire going on and one of the girls was singing.

"Justin what do we do?" I asked crouching next to him.

"Lets talk to them. See if they would let us in." he whispered back.

I took a deep breath and stood up.

He followed next to me waiting for me to talk. I don't blame him, I was a good communicator.

"Excuse me?" I shouted as quietly I can to get their attention but they didnt seem to hear.

"Excuse me guys?" I shouted louder not caring to whisper. Finally, all eyes went on me.

A young man and a young Korean looking man started walking towards us. I smiled and started to tear up. There's more people like us.

The man with the short beard stood from the gate 3 feet away.

"State your names." he asked holding his gun.

"M-my name is Samantha And this over here is my b-brother Justin." I pointed over to him.

"Where are you coming from?" he asked inching closer to us.

We came from almost a 12 hour walk. Were not sure where, but we just wanted to find somewhere safe. Please help us." I told him nervously.

He nodded understandably.

"You two young ones look harmless. But I have three questions." Justin and I exchanged glares, but looked back at the man.

   "How many walkers have you killed?"

I slightly chuckled at that question.

   "Too many to count and keep track." I said before Justin could reply.

   "How many people have you killed?" He asked, tilting his neck which sort of scared me.

   "None." Justin replied.

My heart sunk when he asked.

   "One." I gulped.

"Why?" He asked, now glaring deep into my eyes.

"I didn't want them to turn. I couldn't let them. They were family." I replied, trying not to let a tear slip out of my eyes.

He gave his partner a look and back at us.

"Follow me." He said as he led us to an opening.
