The Youngest Greene (Carl Grimes fan fiction)

Chapter 8

A loud crack of thunder wakes me up. My hands and feet are numb I'm so cold. Where am I?

I slowly look around and as my eyes adjust to the lighting everything comes back to me. Memories of the fight flash through my mind as I realize I am in the place Carl and I hid in.

My eyes are swollen and they hurt from crying, my hair a mess. My blue dress that I so happily put on this morning, is now wrinkled.

********************************

The excitement from the library had died down a lot. Everyone had gone their separate ways, and I had gone to take my turn keeping watch. The day had dragged on forever, until about 6:00.

"So can I have my gun back now?" I faintly hear Carl's voice.

"Not yet." I can just make out Rick's voice.

"Oh come on!" I hear Carl. "I did what you asked, I made friends with Anna!"

What did I just hear?

"I just wanted you to to be friends with someone. That's a normal part of being a kid. Until you prove to me that you aren't gonna kill another innocent person, I am keeping your gun." Rick says calmly.

"So there was no point at all in being friends with Anna." Carl states.

I've heard just about enough. I storm down there, anger taking over me.

"How could you Carl? That whole time you were being nice to me because you wanted your gun back?!" Tears are falling down my face. I can't help it

"Anna I-" Carls starts, but I cut him off.

"This is the last time I trust you again!" I yell, and once again, I am sprinting away from him.

I have no idea where to go, but suddenly my feet are taking me to the other side of the prison. I crawl into where Carl and I had hid that day.

I sob and tears run down my face like waterfalls. I calm down after awhile, and within a couple of minutes I fall asleep.

*********************************

Back to the present time.

I slowly stand up and crawl out of there. I take my time walking back to the cell block. I am not looking forward to facing everyone.

From now on, I am going to focus on survival. I am going to do as much as I can to help, and avoid Carl as much as possible.

My stomach growls as I go inside, but angry voices coming from the cell block distract me from eating.

"You have no right to try and stop us! It's Carls fault she's out there!" Glenn says.

"She's been gone for almost three hours now. Something could have happened to her, and we're going out to look for her." Maggie says.

"And how are you gonna have any idea where to find her?" Rick questions.

"I'm going with them." Daryl explains. Daryl is an excellent tracker.

I can't even explain how much I don't want to go in there right now, but I know I have to.

I slowly walk over to where they are. Maggie quickly hugs me.

"Anna where have you been?!" She scolds me.

"I'm sorry I was gone for so long. I fell asleep." I explain.

They all nod in understanding. I'm pretty sure they all know what happened. Carl stands a few feet behind everyone, but I look away quickly. Everyone stands in a awkward silence for a few moments.
