Max Dixon's POV

"Walkers!"Carl shouts as he quickly pulls out his gun and starts to shoot the ones closest to him and the others.
"No!"Rick shouts before we all quickly take off along the fence towards the gate to help them. "Get out! Get out of there! Now! Lori!"Rick yells at them as Glenn quickly goes back and runs the dog leash through the fence so the walkers don't get in.

I sprint in front of Rick and Dad towards the gate. "Keys! Keys!"I yell back as I remember it's locked. Glenn throws the keys to my dad and he throws 'em to Rick who throws them to me. I quickly unlock the gate as the others come up behind me. I open the gate and run to the second one. I unlock it and throw it open before running towards the others.

Axel and the black guy follow us as we run up to the others. We get to the last gate and open it before heading in. We shoot all the walkers that are in the area as we see that the others are all gone except for Beth and Hershal who were in a gated off doorway. "What the hell happened?"Rick asks. "The gate was open!"Beth shouts.

"Where's Lori, Carl, everyone else?"Rick asks. "Maggie led Lori and Carl into C block."Hershal says. "And T was bit."Beth adds. "Anyone else?"Rick asks. "I couldn't tell."Beth admits. "Stay put."Rick says as Glenn kills the last walker. "Those chains ddint break on their own. Someone took an axe or cutters to 'em."Glenn states.

Rick turns around just as the 2 prisoners walk in through the gate we opened. "You think they did it?"I ask. "Who else."Rick says as he glares at them. Then an alarm went off from the prison. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me!"I yell upset. Rick and Glenn then shoot the speakers making the sound as walkers came out of the woods and towards the prison.

"How the hell can this be happening?" Rick ask as he points his gun at the prisoners. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! it has to be the backup generators."The black man says. "Well, how do you turn those on?"Dad asks. "There's 3 that's connected to a diesel tank, okay? Each one controls a certain part of the prison. The hacks shut 'em all off when the prison was overrun."The black man explains.

"Can someone open up the main gates electronically with full power?"Rick asks. "I only worked in there a few days. I guess it might be possible."The black man states. "Come with us!"Rick says before turning around and heading towards the prison.

"We quickly head into cell block C and  shoot down the walkers that were in there. "Lori! Carl!"Rick calls out as we look around. "They must have been pushed back into the prison."Glenn says. "Somebody is playing games!" Rick yells angrily. "We'll split up and look for the others. Whoever gets to the generators fjrst, shut 'em down!"Rick says as they run back out.

I stay in there though and go out another door before running through the tombs of the prison. I needed to find Carl. He was the only one I cared about ither then my dad. "Carl!"I shout as I continue to run down the halls. I then heard growls to my left and turned towards it.

There was a group of walkers heading my way. "Shit."I say as I pull out my hand gun and quickly start to pop 'em off. I soon kill them all and quickly head down the halls looking for the others. Then the alarm turns off. Rick and dad must have found the generators.

I then heard a scream. That was
T-dog. I quickly run towards it and find T just as 2 walkers are tearing into him. I shoot both walkers as I run to T. "No, no, no, god, no!"I yell as I stop to my knees next to him. He was covered in bites and scratches and was gasping for breath.

"He looks at me with wide eyes as he grabs on to my arms and squeezes me tight. I hold on to his hand as he continues to gasp and struggle. "I'm sorry, T. This shouldn't have happened to you. I'm sorry."I say as I hold him. Then he stops moving. I let a tear drop as I carefully lay him down and point my gun at his head. "Goodbye, T."I whisper before pulling the trigger.

I drop my gun as I hold his hand. Then flashlights are being pointed at me. I look up and see Rick, dad, Glenn, Axel, and black man looking at me. I look down at T and shake my head as they lower their weapons and approach me. They look at T's body with sadness before dad bends down and picks up Carols head scarf she had been wearing.

I stand up and pick up my pistol before we all head out back towards Hershal and Beth. "Hershal!"Rick yells as we get outside. "You didn't find them?"Hershal asks. "We thought maybe they came back out here."Glenn states as we stop in front of Hershal and Beth.

"No, what about T? Carol?"Hershal asks. "They didn't make it."Dad says. "That doesn't mean the others didn't. We're going back. Daryl and Glenn you come with-"Rick was cut off by a baby's cry. We all look towards it and see Maggie and Carl coming out with a baby in Maggie's arms and no Lori.

Rick walks forward dropping his axe as Maggie looks like she's about to cry. "Where is she? Where is she?"Rick asks referring to Lori. Maggie shakes her head and Rick starts to head towards the door they came out of. "Rick, no."Maggie cries out as she grabs his arm with one of her hands.

But he pushed past her and over to Carl who had an emotionless face on. Rick then started to sob as he looked at Carl. "Oh, no, No! No!"Rick cried as he backed up a bit. Glenn approached Maggie and hugged her as I went to Carl. "Kid?"I ask as I kneel in front of him. Carl quickly throws his arms around me and hugs me as I rub his back.

We lost T-Dog, Carol, and Lori today. 3 good people gone so fast. Who's next?
