Coated With Blood - Carl Grimes

Chapter 3- Ford

°Carl's POV°

I take Judith, upstairs, and put her in the crib. I walk over to the window, to see Dylan, the only other girl ,about my age other than Enid, I've seen in years. Ron would have liked her, but he's dead, so who gives a shit. We were always fighting over Enid, but she chose me so: ha.

She's talking with dad and Daryl, on their way to where one of Negan's dickheads are, I have to thank her properly soon. She saved my life. We still don't know the real Negan, because everybody with Negan, is Negan to them.

I walk back over, to Judith, too see her sleeping. I still think it's funny how I named her after my third grade teacher. I leave her be, and go downstairs.

The door opens and Enid walks in. "Hey," I say.

"Hi. Do you know about the new girl in Alexandria?" Enid asks, leaning against the table.

"Yeah, I met her. Seems pretty cool," I say grabbing an apple.

"What's her name?" She says. I can see jealousy in her eyes. So cute.

"Dylan, didn't catch a last though. She's the person who saved me and dad yesterday,"I reply. She only nods and looks down. "What's wrong?" I ask.

"Just tired," She mutters. I walk over to her and slowly pull her into a hug. She rests her head on my chest and wraps her arms around me.

I know she's not tired but I'm not gonna bother her. "Get some rest then, okay," we let each other go. She only nods. I kiss the top of her head, she gives a small smile, SUCSESS! She walks out the door and I chuck my eaten apple in the trash. Nobody knows about our relationship yet, but they're getting onto us. I think anyway.

I Hear, Judith, crying so I run upstairs too see if she's okay. I run in the room, putting my gun up, just in case. Nobody in here, but Judith, I pick her up. "Shhh, it's okay nobody's gonna hurt you," I cradle her. Her crying calms down. "I love you so much," I say and kiss her. I lay her back down too let her sleep.

Walking downstairs the front door opens, to reveal My dad, Daryl & Dylan. Only that Dylan has a busted lip and bleeding knuckles. " What happened too you?" I say.

"Well, where do I start. So, I asked to be alone with the dickhead, they let me. He punched me. So I broke his nose, but missed a couple of swings and hit the wall," she mumbled.

"You say that like you don't care," Dad says.

"Because I don't," she pauses "A busted lip and bleeding knuckles, is nothing compared to other times I've been injured," She states.

"Well, I won't be mess'n with ya," Daryl says walking out the house.

"Well, I will be going. See ya," Dylan says following behind giving a small smile and wave.

"When she leaving?" I ask. Dad's turns his head to look at me.

"She won't be, hopefully," he replys. I sigh.

"Why?" I hesitate.

"Have you seen what she can do?" I shake my head slowly. "She broke that mans nose in one hit, she took out 3 men with one arrow. She has survived, on her own for years," he sighs "She will be good in Alexandria,"

"I guess your right," I look down but back up. "Does she get her own house?" I ask jealous. He nods before walking upstairs.

"Dad!" I shout from downstairs. "When is she meeting everyone?" I ask.

"She can find them herself. Walk around town with her soon, let her meet Enid," he responds.

"Okay," I guess. I walk out the house to go find Enid.
