┏━━━━━━ Kayla's pov ━━━━━━┓
The blinding light in front of me caused me to cringe, not fully adjusted yet. The opening of the doors was too good to be true. I knew in my gut, it was a fantasy that someone had actually opened the gates for us. None of us wanted to go in, but we did hearing the growls behind me. Daryl placed his arm behind me, pushing me inside and out of the harm of night. The minute we all got inside, the doors had shut by large steel covers.
" Hello. Anyone." Dad called out when we heard a gun click back.
I grabbed Carl placing him behind me, scared already we were going to die. We looked up, seeing a blonde man holding up a shotgun, more worried than brave.
" Anybody infected ?"
" One in our group was. He didn't make it." I answered, swallowing thickly.
" What are you here for ?"
" A chance," Dad whispered nervously.
The man laughed, almost seeming like he was looking for a different answer." That's asking an awful lot these days."
" I know." Dad solemnly said.
The man glanced to all of us and nodded his head lowering the shotgun," You all summit to a blood test. That's the price of admission."
" We can do that," Dad said, nodding his head to the group to just go along with it.
" You got stuff to bring in, you do it now. Once this door closes, it stays close." Jenner warned racing over to the key pad.
Knowing most of my clothes were in the back of Daryl's truck, I turned to go retrieve it when his arm stuck out and he shook his head.
" I'll get it."
" Daryl-"
" Stay." He ordered and I rolled my eyes watching him leave with most of the men to get our stuff.
I felt someone squeeze my hand and looked down to Carl seeing he was happy compared to the fear in his eyes just minutes ago. A single gunshot rang out from outside and I jumped watching Glenn, Shane, Dad, and Daryl throw themselves into the CDC while T-dog and Dale shut the doors. The man nodded and walked to the elevator with us quickly following.
" Vi, seal the main entrence. Kill the power up here." The man ordered and with Daryl, I watched the seals to the CDC close.
" Here." Daryl spoke and I looked over being handed by bag.
" Thanks."
We all crowded into the elevator and I felt awkward having my body pressed against Daryl's back. I bite my lip feeling his breath against my ear and surprisingly it smelled like mint. Man's been keeping up with hygiene I guess. Something touched my hand and I frowned until it slowly moved and gave me a little squeeze. Daryl's holding my hand ? Shocked, I took my hand away moving a piece of hair from my face to hide my embarrassment.
" Doctors always go around packing heat like that ?" Daryl asked, breaking the silence, but I felt his eyes burn into the back of my head.
" There were plenty left laying around. I familiarized myself, but you look harmless enough. Expect you, I'll have to keep my eye on you two." He said to Carl, who I still kept near me. I smiled and moved some hair from his face.
" Are we underground ?" Carol asked
" Are you claustrophobic ?"
" A little."
" Try not to think about it." Jenner said when the doors opened to a very dark room." Vi bring up the lights in the big room. Welcome to Zone five."
With that, the lights had turned on, and I looked around amazed by how many computes laid in the place, but the only problem was no one remained behind the computers. The place was actually empty.
