Together ~ A Carl Grimes Fanfiction

Chapter Sixteen

Carl never got to tell me what he wanted to. Too much happened. I couldn't hear what everyone was yelling about, but I knew that it was bad. I sprinted to my cell and got everything that was mine. I ran outside to find everyone standing at the fences. I grabbed a gun and tried to see where everyone was looking. I find Carl, he'll fill me in.

"It's the Governor." He says. "He has Hershel and Michonne and he has Michonne's sword." Oh no. Carl had told me about the Governor before. He was a cruel, ruthless man. He killed anyone and everyone. I aimed my gun and realised that there was a tank. "We can't go up against a tank." I say.

"Sshhh!" Daryl says. Oh no! Where's Sammy? I think to myself. She better have gotten to the bus.

Sammy's POV

Lizzie, Mika, Luke, Molly and I run to the bus. Mika and I have Judith in her car seat between us. Lizzie stops. "They have guns. We should too." she says.

"But we have to go to the bus," Mika says, although we drop the car seat on the ground and run back inside. I collect the knife that Kaitlyn gave me. I tuck it into my belt and I grab my mother's gun as well as the bullets with it. I shove the bullets in by pocket. Mika and Lizzie run past my cell just as I leave it. We go outside. All I hear is gunfire. I can't find my sister.

Kaitlyn's POV

"I could end this," I hear Carl say to Daryl, as he aims his gun at the Governor's head. "I'm a good shot."

"You'll just make things worse than they are." Daryl says. We listen as Rick makes a speech although we can't hear what he's saying. When he's finished everything's silent. Then... "LIAR!!!!" the Governor yells. Everything goes in slow motion. He brings Michonne's sword down to hit a kneeling Hershel on the side of the neck. His head doesn't come off. Rick fires the first shot and then Carl, and all at once the sky is filled with bullets and chaos.

The bullets fly. I realise that I am actually not bad with a gun. I take out people from the Governor's group as well as walkers. Rick is on the ground. I think he was shot. Carl and I keep shooting, but Daryl has disappeared. "Go!" Carl yells at me.

"I'm not leaving you!" I scream, as a bullet hits me in the arm and the pain causes my vision to go black at the edges. I turn around to see that there are people coming towards us. People we don't know. Carl fires his gun repeatedly, hitting them all at least once. He smashes his lips to mine.

"Go! I'll find you once it's over. I promise. I love you." He says as he pushes me to go.

"I love you!" I yell. I run to Michonne's cell, which is closest to the prison doors. I pick up her spare sword and all the weapons in sight. I shove the knives in my back pack. When I leave again, I run to the bus. Maggie is standing at the door yelling at Glen. "I have to find Beth!" she says. I almost forgot that Beth and Maggie were sisters.

"Is Sammy on there?" I scream. Glen checks.

"No. I'm sorry. Come on, get on Kaitlyn." He promps.

"I have to find my sister and my mum. I have to go." I run, with my gun swinging, killing enemies and walkers alike, with every one of my weapons, and Michonne's. I run straight into Carl's back. He's helping Rick walk as he shoots walkers. He stops as he sees Judith's bloody car seat. "No! No! No!" Rick yells, tears falling from his eyes. I cry too. Carl repeatedly shoots one walker. I move close to the car seat, I notice something else. Sammy's princess doll is covered in blood. I pick it up and I scream. "No!" I bawl.

"Stop!" Rick says. "We have to go." We half walk, half jog out of the prison. Carl helps his dad and I take out any walkers or unknown people. I don't feel anything, inside or out. I'm numb.
