Merle's hidden Daughter

No sleep in dead land

We arrived at the CDC, dead bodies everywhere. As I walk past some I poke at them. Rick starts banging on the doors, begging for them to let us in.

No ones in there, so what the fuck is wrong with him. I poke at a walker with my back to the others, a ruff hand grabs my shoulder. I look up and see a walker. I scream and grab my arrow and shove it in the walkers head.

As we all turn to leave Rick, there is a loud noise. I turn and see the door open. A blinding white lights, makes us think momentarily that we are dead.

We head in and don't see anyone, a gun cocks, a man emerges with a gun pointed at us. " anyone infected" he asks carefully eyeing us.

" one of us were he didn't make it" Rick sighs. " what do you want" he asks annoyed. " a chance" Rick steps up. " that's asking for a lot" the man raises an eyebrow. " please" rick sighs.

" you'll all admit to a blood test, that's the price" the man snaps. " we can do that" Rick nods. " dr. Edwin Jenner" the man holds his hand out to Rick.
" Rick grimes" ricks smiles.

He leads us to a room, after I get my blood drawn I feel high. It's always happen to me, my pupils dilate and my words slur. It had to do with my mom, my father said she was a crack head. He said he met her in a bar and that she agreed to fuck him for free.

Told me after 9 months she dropped me off and died. Said she killed herself. Andrea falls after her blood gets drawn. Jacui rushes to her side and helps her up. " she hasn't eaten in days, none of us have" she explains. The doctor nods and leads us to a kitchen.

While we are eating Rick looks over at the doctor sitting by himself looking depressed. Rick stands up, " I don't think we've properly thanked our host-" he gets interrupted by t. " he's more than our host" he laughs. " to Jenner" Rick raises the glass.
" boo yah" uncle Daryl yells . People repeat him as I just watch, this is to good to be true.

Something isn't right, Shane starts asking why Jenner is the only one left. Jenner sighs and tells us how people starte leave if or killing them selfs.

" dude your such a buzz kill" glen slurs. " not you little man, keep drinking I want to see how red your face can get" Daryl laughs.

After a while we left, mother ducks was gonna blow us up. He'll nah, some people wanted to stay. Like Andrea and jacui. Poor jacui was convinced she had nothing left, no one stopped her. Dale rescued Andrea and for that I'm happy.

It's not my place but I didn't want Andrea to die, he'll I didn't want anyone to die. I live for one reason only, it's to keep this group alive and safe.

I climb under a car along with the other as walkers pass, after some time I watch as Sophia climbs out and screams. I climb out and watch as Rick follows her and the two walkers chasing after her. Carol stays perched on the ledge crying starring into the woods.

I don't have feelings right now, I'm cold. I lost so many people that this is normal, I watch as Rick emerges from the woods alone. Carol starts crying a lot. Rick looks shocked and guiltily. Unless he killed her , there is no reason for him to feel guilty. "She not back" he asks in disbelief. Lori takes carol into the rv.
