Chloe's POV

I walked off into the woods and heard two pairs of footsteps behind me. I turned and saw Rick, and Daryl. I kept walking. I knew how to get there because of my.... that doesn't matter.

We walked for 5 more minutes until the prison came to view. Walkers were roaming the yard, but it looked so secure. I motioned the two to look and when they saw it, their faces were priceless!

Rick sighed and looked at Daryl, then said,

"Looks really secure. Should we go for it?" Daryl shrugged and nodded.

I quietly walked back to the group as they were talking. When I reached them, I saw a group of ten walkers coming toward them.

I got out my machete out and started wacking the ones near me in the head. Everyone pulled out their guns and started shooting. Soon, they were all dead. Rick and Daryl ran out of the woods with guns in hand, pointed at me. I glanced at Daryl to see him not as tense, he wasn't going to shoot me. I could tell. But why?

"Everyone ok?" Rick yelled with shooting me an angry look.

"Dad. She saved us." I heard Carl say behind me. I just looked at Rick with an empty look. He put his gun down and I looked back over to Daryl to find he already had his gun down. (an- his crossbow was around his back)

"Chloe got us a prison. We need to clear it."

 Everyone was silent for a few seconds until T-dog said,

"Hallelujah!" Which made everybody laugh. We all walked off towards the prison. Once we got there, Glenn cut a part of the first fence open for us to walk through. Right as everybody was through, Glenn tied the hole up with wire. We ran to the gate that would lead us to the yard of walkers.

"Who's going to shut the gate?" Rick asked.

"I will. I'm the fastest." Glenn said but Maggie protested.

"I'll do it. Are you a good shot Chloe?" Rick asked me.

"I guess?" I say.

"Ok go up in the guard tower with Carl and Hershal. Same with Daryl and Carol, you guys go in the other. The rest, hit them through the fence. Cover me." Rick said. And with that, Carl took my arm and pulled me to the guard tower. Hershal following us.

Carl handed me an M4. Hershal took his pistol out and started shooting. I saw a walker come up behind Rick. I pulled the trigger and saw the walker fall. Rick looked at me with a look of thanks.

Rick hooked up the fences and Daryl made a signal with his hand and said,

"Round em up!" Everybody shot and killed the walkers. All the snow in the yard, was trampled because of the walkers. I looked at Carl and saw him looking at me. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked away. I started walking for the exit, setting the M4 against the railing.

As I walked out, I saw everybody setting up tents. I pulled out one from my bag and set it up. I never used my tent, too risky. But now, I'm safe.

It was a fairly big tent. I started by putting my sleeping bag in the corner. I pulled my duffel bag and backpack inside. I set my guitar against one side of the tent. I ran my hand over the signatures. 

I closed the tent entrance. 

I put down my pillow by my sleeping bag. I took a lantern from my duffel bag and turned it on. It was getting dark out.

I heard my tent open and there stood Daryl.

"Uh. Chloe isn't it? What's your last name again? moms name?"

"Why? I don't even know you."

"I just thought I knew you." He grumbled and turned to leave.

"Wait." I mumbled. He turned around.

"Huetel. My moms name was Rebbekah. Michealson."

His eyes widened and then he walked out.

Uh what just happened.

AN- ok I'm editing and I've changed this like almost completely. 😂 oops.
