It was a long, cold, damp, stressful day. I was getting out soon that's all that matters. I was so stupid to sneak out. I just want to know my part here. Life is hard in the apocolypes, luckily the enemy's are gone or so I thought. I was just sitting alone, bored, regretful, knowing that are community's are thriving and I made a dumb mistake. Then I heard the cell entrance open. Then Michonne, Daryl, and Tara came in but with someone. "Daryl what's happening" I asked frantically looking for answers. Daryl: Jesus is dead her people killed him. "What! Who, what people!" Daryl: I don't know kid just stay quite. They throw her on a chair, the girl looked scared, terrified even. Michonne: how many are there! Girl: You killed them all I swear! She says that in a terrified voice. Should I do something, I'm getting stressed! Michonne: that's funny, I don't believe you. "Guys st-" Daryl: shut up! After several minuites of what looked like torture they left the girl fled too the corner crying, scared. I keep looking at her wanting to say something but I couldn't. Then the doors opened again, but it was just daryl. He walked up too the cell with the keys. Daryl: you tell me answers or I'll drag you outside where alot of people will tear you up for what your people did to Jesus. I felt horrible, then I felt a little confident. "Daryl whats your problem!" Daryl: shut up! I knew I had too do something once he grabbed the girl and started pulling her as she held on. Daryl: TELL ME! "DARYL STOP!" He ignored. Girl: no no Daryl please don't kill me please! I knew I had too speak up. "DARYL STOP NOW!" He throws her back in as she crawls too the corner crying. He locks her cell and walks too mine. Daryl: you don't know your place yet but you better toughen up, there is a new enemy and she knows. "But she's just a girl, daryl stop please." I pace around frustrated. Did I do the right thing he was gonna kill her right? Or was that a scare tactic? But then I heard a soft voice say. Girl: thank you. "What?" Girl: thank you, for saving me. "I could not let him do what he was gonna do." "I'm Henry." Girl: I'm Lydia. "Nice too meet you." After that hours started going by fast but then I screwed up again. Lydia: you got any family out here? "Yeah my mom and dad." Girl: I thought you said your mom died? "Second mom and dad they're at the kingdom." Lydia: the kingdom, where's that? "Probably about a days ride from here." The basement door opened and my heart dropped as Daryl walked too my cell. "Daryl what's happening?" Daryl: it's time for you to go your times up. "Wait but I still have one more day!" He pulls me out then chucks me out of the cells entrance. Daryl: what you doing going around telling her about the kingdom! My heart sunk even farther, was he listening? "I did not think it would be a big pr- wait were you listening!" Daryl: yeah. "You were using me!" Daryl: yeah we've switching off shifts me, Enid, Tara to see what she would say too you and it was working out fine until you said that! "Next time get answers yourself!" I stormed off I knew he wanted me too talk too her but I want to show her this place is good and not gonna fall like she said. But how? The keys are always there. A little later I open the cells doors and grab the keys. I walk over to her cell. She backs up a bit. "Hey, it's me remember?" Lydia: yeah, did Daryl send you? "No, Daryl does not know I'm here, he wanted me to come earlier but, I could not wait." Lydia: why? "I think your cool, I want too show you this place is nice. Lydia: your letting me out? "Yeah, for a bit." Lydia looked a little happy. "Ok lets go." I say as I lead her out. It felt good too be with someone, someone like you. Then I heard someone talking, so we jumped behind a rv and waited. Then she dag out a worm a ate it looking me dead in the eyes she picked another and held her hand out wanting me too eat it. Then she sucked the dirt off and held her hand out, how sweet. I picked it up and ate it. It was sorta chewy I could taste the guts. "I just ate a worm." Lydia: you did. She says that with a smile. I smile back. "Come on let's go." I grab her hand pulling her up and lead her too the infirmary. "This is the infirmary, Enid is a really good doctor." Lydia: places like this should not exist my mom she s-. She was interupted by a baby crying. Lydia: she s-. She was cut off by the baby but this time she was holding her hands in her face. She was saying something I could not make it out. "Lydia are you ok?" She looks up covered in sweat. Lydia: put me back in the cell please. "Ok, I understand." I put her in the cell walking off but then she said. Lydia: wait, could you stay here tonight? My heart felt like it stopped beating. I could not make out words so I just nodded and layed down next too her. I felt like I had too make a move. I moved my hand slowly closer she did too. We touched hands then held them. It felt awesome.
