Chapter 60

*Henry's P.O.V*

It's been a few days since I've been living in Alexandria. It's not that bad. The blizzard is still out there but it's not as horrible as it was before. It had calmed down. Well, it's been calmed down but you get what I mean.

I've been keeping to myself a bit because it's still so hard to process everything that has happened the past couple of months.

Everything was going great months ago. I had Ali in my life and then I had met Lydia. Ali and I had a mutual breakup so that I can go after Lydia. We had the fair and everything was going good. We all were happy and then the most terrible thing had happened. Ten innocent people, including Ali with Enid and Tara had died at the hands of Alpha. Their heads were on pikes. I still can't get the image out of my head.

Alpha is one disgusting person. I know she is happy with what she has done and if I could, I'll kill her now. But I am not running away this time. I am staying right here.

"Henry, are you okay?" I heard a voice and looked up to see Judith.

"I guess so." I shrugged.

"You're not okay." She said and then sat down next to  me.

I stayed silent.

"I know you're thinking of Ali."

I looked at her. "What makes you think that?"

"Cause she's close to you. She's someone who was important to you. You've been quiet for days. I know with her being gone that it bothers you." She said.

"She didn't deserve to die." I shook my head.

"No she didn't. None of those people did. She was someone who always looked out for people other than herself. My brother was like that with her. My brother, Carl, was the one that saved Ali years and years ago." Judith explained.

"He saved her?" I asked.

Judith nodded.

*Ali's P.O.V*

I didn't know what was happening. I was sleeping until I was woken up to some kind of sounds. What kind of sound is that?

I quickly got up and looked into the direction to where the sounds were coming from and then I saw them. The creatures or whatever they are called. Zombies? Walkers? Whatever.

There were like three but there was one that had caught me off guard and had tackled me to the ground. It was a struggle and I was trying to keep it away from my face because I wasn't gonna die today. No way in hell.

I pushed the walker's face even farther so that it wasn't close to me. I wouldn't allow it.

I didn't know this was gonna be a struggle. Just when I thought something bad was gonna happen, something just happened so fast. The walker or whatever it was that was on top of me and trying to kill me had stopped making noises and was shot in the head.

I quickly took it off me because I couldn't even stand the fact that it was even on me in the first place. It was gross.

Then I looked in front of me.

There was a boy. A boy that looked to be my age and he was wearing a cowboy hat and had a bandage around one of his eyes. He just saved me. I almost died but he saved me. He saved me from being killed.

"Hi. I'm Carl."

|Flashback over|

"Carl didn't like to see people die. He wanted to do what's right and the right thing there was saving Ali. He felt something when seeing her first thing. She was important to him as well." Judith said.
