Chapter 3| Darkness

I woke up to see Beth was sound asleep next to me a few people were up walking around. Luckily Carl wasn't. I got up and grabbed a piece of meat off a plate by the burned out fire and ate it. Daryl was talking to Rick I got up and walked over to him.

"What is your plan for clearing out the prison?" I asked.

"Glenn, Maggie, Daryl, T-Dog and me are going in we will clear out a cell block then let you in." He said.

"So we are supposed to do what?" I asked.

"Not fight with Carl for once." Daryl said.

"It's not my fault his an ass." I said.

Daryl glared at me.

"Watch your mouth." He said.

"Well your not the boss of me so you can't tell me what to do." I said and turned and walked away. Although I wasn't far enough away from them so I heard what Daryl said after.

"She's to much like her dad." He said.

"Merle is her dad?" Rick asked surprised.

"Yup, never was a good father to her, she ended up-" I didn't want to listen anymore, so I hurried and walked away. I didn't notice were I was going and ran right into someone.

"Oh sorry." I said getting up.

Than I noticed it was Carl.

"Whoa you just said sorry." Carl said shocked.

I didn't look at him.

"Unlike you." I said and moved past him. He grabbed my arm.

"Whoa why are you crying." He asked.

I felt my face and tears were streaming down.

"Oh I got something in my eyes. Just made them water." I said and got out of his grip.
I hurried up to a guard tower and sat down with my feet dangling off the side. I sat and watched everyone. They all started walking over to the gate. I was gonna join but I decide against it they could handle it. I watched the group fight the walkers. And then run inside. I decided to go down then so I slowly made my way down the steps. I lost my footing and slipped hitting my head on a step. I sat there for a minute. Until the pain died down. I noticed there was some blood on the stairs. Great! I thought. I felt the back of my head, No blood just a bump. I looked down at my legs no blood then I looked at my arms.

"How wonderful." I mumbled to myself.

My left arm hand a cut all the way down. I ripped off a part of my shirt and wiped away the blood. It just keep coming. I ripped off a bigger part of my shawl and wrapped it up around my arm. I know it would soon be soaked with blood but it would have to work. I couldn't let anyone see or suspect anything. They can't find out not even Daryl? I finished walking down the stairs, and out the door. Everyone was gathering there stuff, so I started gathering my stuff. Daryl came up to me.

"What did you do?" He said touching my arm.

"Nothing I'm fine." I said pulling my arm from his grip and picking up my bags. I didn't even look at Daryl but followed Beth to the cell block. I walked in to a cell that was right by Beth's.

"Josie come share a bunk with me." She begged.

I sighed and brought my stuff into the cell next to me.

"Yea! We are gonna have so much fun!" She squealed.

"Ya living in a apocalypse is so much fun." I said sarcasm.
