Scars *Carl Grimes*

"Wheres Melody!?" I heard being shouted as I slowly opened my eyes. I wanted to scream out and tell them I was here, but my mouth sealed shut. I grumbled out in an attempt to make myself noticed but it failed. I slowly stood up from the floor and opened my eyes, not caring about the stinging it was causing. Blood was dripping down me as I walked towards a door. I opened it and slowly entered the crowded room.

"Get back in there" Merle shouted at me as he gripped onto my hair. I squealed and attempted to break out of his grip. I sobbed as he once again slammed his fist into my face. My body shook with pain as I slowly fell to the floor.

"She's a fighter" I heard an unfamiliar voice chuckle as a finger ran down my spine. I cringed in disgust and tried to wiggle away from his touch.

"Stop it" Maggie shouted as a hand wrapped around my arm. My body was dragged across the floor and into a pair of warm arms.

"Maggie?" I croaked as she ran her fingers through my damp hair which was covered in blood and sweat. She pulled me up further and examined my bruises before ripping off a piece of her top and dabbing some of the blood. I winced in pain and jolted back.

"I'm not finished with her, no point in cleaning her up now" the other man winked as he yanked me away. I tried to scream out but his hand covered my mouth. I heard Maggie screaming as he pulled me back into my original room.

"So, I'm going to ask kindly, and if you refuse to answer my questions, be prepared for some pain. Worse than Merle" he hissed whilst spitting in my face. My bottom lip trembled as I supported myself on the wall. "Where are your group?" he asked, pulling a sick smile.

I shook my head and glared at him, causing his to shove me to the floor. My hair was yanked, making me look directly in his eye.

"Goodnight" he whispered as I lost consciousness again.

-------------------------

"She's waking up!" someone exclaimed with joy as I lifted my head. I slowly peeled open my eyes and saw Maggie and Glenn sitting down against the wall. I slide myself over to them and dove into Maggie's arms as I felt a wave of tears meet my eyes.

"Your okay now, nothings going to happen" Maggie whispered as she brushed the hair out of my eyes. I looked over at Glenn who handed Maggie a sharp bone, from the dead walker that was lying on the floor, his arm ripped off by Glenn.

"Just stay close Melody" he whispered as he helped me onto my feet. We heard the door clink, making Maggie and Glenn jump out and attack. I chased after them as best as I could, despite it felt like there was a knife continuously being stabbed into both my legs.

I covered my eyes as Maggie stuck the bone into one of the mans neck, making blood squirt out of it. Glenn fell onto the floor as Merle pressed his knife into his neck. I grabbed the gun and raised it to Merle's head.

"Let him go" I hissed, loud enough for Merle to raise his hands. A pair of cold hands grabbed my shoulders as Merle tugged the gun out of my hands.

After a lot of struggling, we were placed back in the room and made to get down on our knees. Glenn grabbed Maggie's hand as she sobbed, whilst I kneeled there emotionless. I raised my middle finger at Merle smirking at him as a dirty bag was placed over my head. I coughed as I inhaled the smell, regretting it as I realized it smelt like rotting flesh and smoke.

"On your feet! Move" a voice behind me shouted. I quickly stumbled to my feet as I feared for my life.

Somebody's hand was placed on my back as we were pushed. I felt venerable without my vision, and bare. I wanted to rip off the bag but I knew if I did I would most likely die, probably by Merle as he had a burning hatred for me.
