SAVIOUR ↣ CARL GRIMES [ON HOLD]

Dinner

As Carl and I walked into the main part of the prison, all eyes turned on me. I put up my cold front and held my head high.

"C'mon." Carl said softly urging me forward. He released my waist and said at the tabled.

I hesitantly sat beside him and was handed a plate with some food on it. I slowly and awkwardly are in silence until Daryl cleared his throat.

"So, how long you been on your own?" Daryl grunted. It took me a second to realize he was talking to me.

"Since the beginning of this mess." I said coldly.

"How'd you survive?" A new voice asked. I looked over to see a women with pixie cut grey hair.

"That's Carol." I heard Carl whisper beside me.

"I just did, ok?" I snapped. I wasn't going to tell people I barely new my life story. I shoved another bite of food into my mouth. Carol raised her eyebrows at me but didn't say anything. She just continued eating.

Suddenly, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked over and saw a girl, about 17, with blonde hair. She was holding a baby.

"I'm Beth." She said quietly.

I nodded. "Mikayla." I said in monotone. She just looked away, sensing that I wasn't up for talking.

I finally finished my food and stood. Once again, all eyes were in me.

"I'm, uh, done." I said quietly. Rick swallowed and nodded.

"Okay, uh, Carl, take her too her cell." He told him.

Carla nodded and stoop. "Let's go." He said and grabbed my arm, pulling me out of the main hall.

Once we were out of ear shot, he stood in front of me.

"What was that all about?!" He demanded.

I crossed my arms. "What do you mean?" I asked stupidly.

"You know what I mean. You were so rude back there!" He said.

I took a step closer to him. "Look, I don't know you people very well, and I'm not one to trust very easy!" I said in a low tone.

He stared at me shocked.

"Can you just show me my cell?" I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

He brushed past me and I followed.
