Losing my mind

21. Sickness

I awoke before the sun even came up, I looked over next to me and Weston was fast asleep. I got out of bed and strapped my weapons on. I opened the curtains on our cell door and walked out, no one was awake.

I walked outside, it was dark but it will be light soon. The walker moans were loud as I sighed then walked down to the chain linked fences. I picked up a machete and started stabbing them through the fence. There were about a hundred or so biters piled up against it.

I quickly killed as my mind was racing, thoughts of everything bundled together. Every stab was a release.

Before I even knew it, the sun was rising and Rick and Carl walked out of the prison to do the daily gardening. All the walkers were laying dead on the ground.

Rick gave me a slight wave, I gave a nod, I walked to the gate door and opened it myself, I needed to clear the dead walkers from the ground or they'll start piling up. Carl shut the gates after me as I started to drag a walker by its legs.

2 walkers stumbled out of the woods, with a stab and a boot crush, both were dead.

As time passed, I managed to move the dead biters away and burn them. As I was walking back to the prison I heard gunshots coming from the prison, I picked up my pace, Carl was already opening the gates as I got there, Michonne was on a horse in front of the gates.

The walkers were already pled back up against the fences. I pulled out my pistol and shot two biters trying to get Michonne. Carl killed one walker and we ran in. Michonne had hurt her ankle

"Go up in the guard tower!" I yelled as they ran to the guard tower.

I shut the gates and ran in to the prison, I pulled out my axe and ran into cell block D. Rick, Glenn,Daryl and I were in there, Walkers everywhere.

I shut the door to the tombs so no walkers could get out.

"What's going on?!" I yelled at Daryl

"We don't know!" He yelled back as he killed a walker. As I was about to turn around a walker pushed me to the ground, it looked like a man from Woodbury. This was the Woodbury cell block. I killed it and got up. I looked around and most walkers were woodburians.

The "original" group stays in cell block C.

There were people running everywhere as walkers attacked.

Karen, a lady from Woodbury was in a cell with some kids

"Stay here" I told her as she nodded.

There were about a dozen walkers. We all killed them.

"Are we clear down here?! Are we safe?!" Rick shouted

"Yeah!" We answered back

I followed Rick, Daryl and Glenn up to the 2nd floor of cells.

We cleared them all.

Hershel was helping the bitten or injured people.

We were killing the ones who died so they don't turn.

I hadn't seen Weston in here so I was sure that he was ok.

Dr.S was one of the few doctors here, he was telling us that Patrick, the kid who was cooking died. Not by injuries or bites, he choked to death on his own blood. It's a sickness.

I left them and walked outside for some air. Rick followed behind me.

Weston was helping Michonne walk with Maggie cause of her ankle. Carl was walking with them.

Carl saw Rick and I and he ran and hugged Rick.

Weston let go of Michonne and ran to me

"Don't get to close" I stated " Patrick got sick, some sort of flu, he died and attacked the cell block"

I could see the worry in Weston's eyes

"Are you guys ok?" Weston asked

"Yeah, for now" I mumbled.

They left to go help Michonne and I picked up a shovel and a mask to cover my face. I walked over to where we had buried everyone and started digging.

Daryl and Rick started helping when Maggie called our names and pointed to the fences.

Walkers have bundled up together which is causing the fence to give.

I dropped the shovel and picked u my axe, we ran to the fences and started to kill them through the holes.

"Are you guys seeing this?!" Sasha asked as she pointed to the ground "someone's been feeding them"

The fence started to cave in

"It's gonna give!" Daryl yelled as we tried to hold the fence

"Get back!" Rick yelled

We let go of the fence, it was bending.

"Brendon, get the truck, I know what to do"

I nodded and ran to get the truck

Rick loaded the baby pigs into the back of the truck, he got in and we drove out.

We stopped a couple feet away from the walkers, the started to notice us and walk towards us

"Come on" I told Rick as he cut the leg of the pig

The walkers stumbled to the pig and started to eat it.

We drove a little farther and he did the same. We did that until all 4 pigs were dead and the walkers were off the fence.

Sasha, Maggie, Glenn and Tyrese were supporting the fences with long, thick logs.

I drove back into the prison and parked the car.

I got out and walked into the prison, Beth told me Weston was in the quarantine cell block.

I ran and put a mask on into cell block A, I looked for Weston and I found him in a cell, laying in the bed with puffy eyes and a stuffed nose. He was coughing like crazy too.

He saw me and he gave me a small smile.

"When did you get sick?" I asked him, my breathing was fast, my mind was racing.

"Earlier" he said as he coughed

"Fuck" I mumbled to myself, I can't loose him.

"It's not your fault" he said weakly

"You need to rest" I said quickly, I had to get out of there before I loose it.

He nodded and closed his eyes.

I ran out of cell block A and in to our cell block and into our cell.

I punched the wall.

Oh it's going to be a long night.
