Hope//C.G *Finished*

Welcome to The Tombs

As we all packed our stuff to leave, Carl was angry, so I stayed out of the way. Beth packed my bag in the car, and I was about to get in another car when I heard, "Chloe" I turned, and Daryl motioned for me to go to him. I walked over, and he said, "Get on you're riding with me" I smiled and climbed on behind him wrapping my arms around his waist, and he started the motorcycle. When everyone started to pull out we went after them, after waiting and waiting and waiting in the generator room, we finally went back to regroup.

 I walked to the gate to wait for Hershel, Beth, and Carl while everyone else talked about going after them. Letting them in Daryl told me they're going back, and I should stay here with Carl so that's what I'm going to do. I walked up to the cell we shared to see him putting his stuff away.

 I tossed my bag on the top bunk and said, "What happened out there" Carl groaned, "Not you to" I nodded and rubbed my cold hands together. "I just, I want to know Carl, you're my best friend we can tell each other anything" I told him, and he nodded. I went over and sat next to him. "Now spill" I told him taking his hand into mine. "I killed one of the Govoners soldiers, he drew on us, and uh" He trailed off and I clenched his hand tighter. "I had to protect Judith, we couldn't take any chances. I didn't kill the walker that killed Dale and look what happened" 

I cut him off by saying, "Baby Dale's death wasn't your fault" I told him, and he just says "Still. My dad didn't kill Andrew and he came back and killed my mom, and, he sat in the room with the govoner and he came back and killed Merle" I just let him ramble, but called out, "Carl. Merle snatched Glenn, Maggie, and I off the street in the middle of a run I didn't trust him either way, but that is still not your fault. It's not Rick's fault, it's no one's except the governor, and right now they went to end it." Carl looked at me and nodded. I smiled and said "Now, let's unpack" Carl chuckled and nodded.

After unpacking our things for the second time, Carl went outside to meet everyone while I laid in the bunk still. I was just about to doze off when Carl came storming in. "I can't believe him" I yawned and looked up, "What's wrong?" Carl sat down next to me and said, "He brought those people here" I leaned up quickly just nearly hitting my head on the top. "What, Who, Where?" I asked confused. "My dad brought people from Woodbury here to join us" Carl told me, and I nodded with an 'Ah' Carl looked at me and said, "You're on his side, aren't you?" He accused standing up.

 I sighed, "Carl" I started, and he tossed his gun next to me on the bed. "Maybe it'll be good for us, make some friends, make our more, discover more of the prison, make this like an ideal living situation yah know" I said, and he sighed glaring at the floor. I stood up and slid my shoes on before grabbing his hands into mine. "Let's go make some friends" I told him smiling, "You go I'll catch up" He told me, and I nodded, "Take your time" I kissed his cheek and left the cell.

I went outside to see Daryl leaning on the far wall. "You okay?" I asked leaning next to him. "What do you mean?" He asked, and I scoffed smiling. "You buried Merle in Carol's empty grave yesterday." I told him, and he turned to me. "What about it?" He asked, and I shrugged. "Just got to make sure your okay teddy bear" I said nudging him making him scoff. "Go make some friends or something" Daryl said making me smile. "Fine I will" I said and kicked off the wall to see a group of kids standing together. "Uh, hey guys, I'm Chloe" I said and scratched the back of my neck. "Hey! I'm Patrick, and this Is Hayden and his twin sister Hallie" I smiled at the trio, as everyone started introducing and talking about themselves. Hayden kept staring at me and smiling which kind of creeped me out, but imam role with it.

A couple weeks into all the changes, a lot has happened. Rick took Carl's gun to give him some normalcy around kids his age. Daryl basically become my second guardian, and Hershel took my gun to. We put together a run team to get us a lot of new stuff, plus the stuff from Woodbury everyone brought with them. The Woodbury survivors went into block 'D' while we stayed in 'C'. Beth and I are also currently taking shifts with Judith as well. Which leads me to now, we also built a giant library.

I skimmed the titles of the books on the shelf, as I heard "Chloe!" Turning I smiled as I saw Hayden walking towards me. "Oh, hey Hayden!" I called out before turning back to the books. "What are you doing?" he asked, and I laughed. "Baking a cake" I said sarcastically, and he chuckled. I looked over to see him standing way Toooo close. I tried taking a step back, but he moved towards me again, "So I was thinking." He was cut off by a 'He-Hem'. I looked up and sighed softly in relief to see Carl. "Carol wants you, and Daryl is looking for you Chol" I nodded and said, "Where is he?" Carl and I had this planned-out way to well Daryl and Carol are both in a council meeting right now. "I'll take you to him, because he wanted to talk to me too" Carl said, and I nodded. I turned to Hayden and said "Later."

I walked towards Carl who walked me out, as soon as we hit the hallway he took my hand and we rushed off to our spot laughing. We found this new spot last week where no one will bother us. I closed the door behind us and as suddenly I'm pushed up against it as lips are attached to mine. We fiercely and roughly kissed each other. Carl started kissing down my neck before finding my sweet spot. I lip my lip as he big my neck softly and sucked on the spot. I muffled a moan and he pulled away. We locked eyes before laughing. I then kissed Carl again and our tongues fought for dominance. "We need to get back before someone notices were gone" I said after pulling away breathlessly. "After this" Carl said, and we continued to make out.

We held hands as we walked outside the prison. "Chloe!" I turned to see Carol. "Oh, Hey Carol!" I said smiling. "I need you, so we can talk to Rick about Storytime" I nodded with a silent 'Ah' I turned to Carl and kissed his cheek, "I'll be back for round 2" I whispered in his ear, letting go of his hand. I walked to an open stop with Carol. Storytime is really a cover for teaching the kids to protect themselves. Rick and the parents don't need to know that, especially Carl. We went over to Rick and smiled as he said, "Morning Chloe" I bit my lip and said, "I need your opinion, Carol and I want to start doing Storytime in the library" Rick nodded, "Sounds good do it" I smiled as I turned to Carol and gave a thumb up. Before I could walk away from Rick he called out, "How's Carl taking the changes?" I turned to Carl who was talking to Patrick before turning to Rick, "He's trying" Rick nodded smiling slightly before leaving me to go inside the cell.
