What if it's us~ Carl Grimes Gay

Chapter 23

Max Dixon's POV

After Carl and I talked, Rick called us down. So we headed down to see that T, Hershal, Glenn, and Maggie putting protection gear on. "I want you two to stay here and watch over everyone." Rick says to us. "Okay."Carl says as Rick hands him the keys to the door. Rick, Maggie, Glenn, Hershal, T and my dad than walk out and Carl closes and locks the door behind them.

We then sit down next to the door as the girls all sit down too. "So, Max, what exactly happened after you went for a walk 3 months ago?"Beth asks as everyone else perks up. "Well, I guess I should explain everything, but you guys have to tell me what you've been up to."I say. "Deal."Beth says.

"Okay, well after I walked away from camp I decided to go for a walk around the lake. So I did. As I was walking I just thought about what to do and other stuff. I soon found myself on the other side of the lake and I had to pee. So I went off into the woods and did my business. I was about to head back to camp when 4 walkers came up to me.

"I managed to kill them but then I heard more walker groans further away in the woods. So I followed the sound and that's when I found this place. There was a group walkers on the outside of the fence when I came up. I was gonna leave and go tell you guys but a walker had snuck up on me while I wasn't paying attention.

"It tackled me down but I managed to kill it. However, the other walkers had heard the ruckus and started to head towards me. I didn't want to risk leading them back to camp so I stayed and fought. At first I shot as many as I could with my crossbow before they got too close.

"So I used my machete instead. I managed to kill most of them before my blade got stuck in one of the walkers head and I didn't have time to get it out. There were just 3 walkers left now. I didn't have any more silent weapons on me so I had to do something else.

"That's when I saw one of my arrows on a near by d dead walkers head. I quickly grabbed it and I stabbed the first 2 before I stabbed the last one. But when I stabbed the last one u tripped and hit my head causing me to go unconscious. I woke up the next morning and went to get you guys, but you were gone. I tracked you guys for months after that finding supplies and the golf cart on my way. That's basically what happened. What about you guys?"I ask.

"After we left the rock walls we started heading east. We stopped whenever we saw a building to loot it and see if it was safe but they never were. After doing that for awhile we got used to it. We let are guard down. One day we were raiding a house and Sophia wasn't watching her back. A walker snuck up on her and bit her on the shoulder. Rick put her down. After that we were more careful. We basically had the same routine everyday."Beth explains.

I nod in understanding. Then we hear screaming. "Open the door! It's Hershal! Carl!"Rick yells as Carl jumps up and quickly unlocks the door before opening it. The rest of the group then push Hershal in on a metal bed on wheels.

Then I see that his right leg is missing. They wheel him into a cell and carefully lay him on the bed. Everyone was freaking out while my dad explained that Hershal had gotten bit and Rick chopped his leg of in hopes of saving him.

I grabbed Carl and walked him back as the adults run around grabbing stuff to help Hershal. All Carl and I would be doing is getting in the way. Then we heard yelling. I head over towards it with Carl on my tail. We go out into the other room and see T and my dad pointing their weapons at 5 men wearing prison jumpsuits. Survivors?

"There ain't nothing for you here. Why don't you go back to your own sandbox?"Dad yells at them just as Rick walks in. "Hey, everyone relax. There's no need for this."Rick says shutting everyone up. "How many of you are in there?"The man with a gun asks as he looks at us all.

"Too many for you to handle."I state as I glare at him. "You guys rob a bank or something? Why don't you take him to a hospital?"The gun man asks. How stupid were these people? The world ended so there's no banks or hospitals left.

"How long have you been locked in that cafeteria?"Rick asks. "Going on like 10 months."Gun man says. "A riot broke out. Never seen anything like it."The big black man says. "Attica on speed, man."A blond man says. "Ever heard about dudes going cannibal, dying, coming back to life? Carzy."the small black man asks.

"One guard looked out for us, locked us up in the cafeteria. told us to sit tight, threw me this piece, said he'd be right back."Gun man explains. "Yeah, and that was 292 days ago."The big black man says. "We were thinking the Army or National Guard should be showing up any day now." BigBlack man #2 says.

"This is no Army."Rick says. "What do you mean?"Gun man asks. "There's no government, no hospitals, no police. It's all gone."Rick states. "For real?"The blond asks. "Serious."Rick says. "What about my moms?"Big black man asks. "My kids? And my old lady? Yo, you got a cell phone or something that we can call our families?"Big black man #2 asks.

"You just don't get it, do you?"Dad asks. "No phones, no computers. As far as we can see, at least half the popation has been wiped out. Probably more."Rick explains. "Ain't no way."Gun man says. "See for yourself."Rick says. The guys look at each other before heading outside.

I stay inside with Carl after they leave. Great. We have 2 problems. Hershal has one leg and there are 5 prisoners that survived. What are we gonna do?
