Arielle's P.O.V

I wake up alone, so I take a quick shower and then make my way to the cafeteria. Firstly I'm greeted by Mom, Dad and Carl.

"Good morning hun."

"Mornin' Princess."

"Hey Elsie!"

"Mornin' Family," I reply hugging them.

"Hey guys!" I say to everyone, which is followed by happy replies.

I take a seat next to Glenn who has his head in his hands.

"Morning Glennifer, I see you're extremely hungover," I reply, all I get in return is a groan and I giggle.

"Glennifer?" Carl giggles. I nod and wink at him.

"Ari please never EVER, let me drink again," Glenn begs groggily.

"You got it Glenny," I reassure him, rubbing his back.

"Morning homeslice," T says,"Eggs. Powdered, but I do 'em good," T says handing me a plate.

"Thank ya homeslice," I reply happily.

"Sure thang girly, you to Glennifer. Protein helps with the hangover," T teases.

I laugh as he hands Glenn a plate too.

"Hey Ari. I never thanked you yet but well thank you for saving my life!" Amy says while pulling me into a one armed hug.

"Anytime Aim's glad you survived!" I cheerily replied. We chat for a bit.

"Hey, I'm gonna go to my room I'll see you guys later," I say.

"Smell ya later," Carl says, chuckling.

"Whatever," I reply smirking.

I head back to mine and Glenns room. I bump into Daryl when I turn the corner which causes me to fall on my butt.

"Tha's the second time ye done tha' girl," Daryl says with a smirk while pulling me up.

"Sorry Daryl," I smile, "their all in the cafeteria having breakfast," I tell him as I pass.

"Where're ya goin'?" Daryl questions.

I turn back to face him.

"For a sleep. Again," I reply.

"Whatever, sweet dreams princess," he replies in a mocking tone.

"Whatever," I mock shaking my head as he rolls his eyes.

I carry on to my room and fall asleep within minutes.

Glenn's P.O.V

"Did he just lock us in ? HE JUST LOCKED US IN!" I stress.

Oh god, we're trapped like animals.

"ARI BABY!" Lori yells looking around.

"Mom Elsie's in her room," Carl says while crying.

OH MY GOD. My best friend's asleep in our room shit. Shitshitshitshitshit.

"No. Nonono. NO! You let us out right now. You can't do this!" Rick yells.

"You son of bitch!" Shane shouts, storming towards Jenner.

"Shane stop!" Lori and Rick yell.

"Mom I want Elsie here!" Carl says while crying his eyes out.

I shut everything out after the mention of Arielle and pray like hell we're gonna make it out!

Arielle's P.O.V

I wake up and have a bad feeling.

I went to see mom but no one's in their rooms, no one's in the cafeteria. The air con is off. It's eerily quiet ... so I just go back to my room and wait.

"ARI, ARI!"
Glenn.

"ARIELLE! BABY GIRL GET UP."
Dad.

"ELLE, ELLIE, ARIELLE!"
Shane.

"ARI!"
Daryl.

What the hell are they screaming for?

I walk into the hallway and Glenn comes sprinting around the corner.

"ARI COME ON GET YOUR STUFF, WE'VE GOT 4 MINUTES. WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Glenn shouts.

I don't argue or ask questions. I run into our room and grab mine and Glenns bags and I strap on my katana.

Thank god we didn't unpack.

I toss him his bag and he grabs my hand and we start running for the entrance, with Daryl, dad and Shane hot on our heels.

We reach the entrance where everyone is.

"ELSIE!" Carl screams running towards me almost knocking me over in a hug.

Mom runs to us to and pulls us into her.

"My baby you're okay," mom says.

I on the other hand have no fucking clue whats going on but I see Shane, Daryl and T trying to break the glass.

Wait ... are we gonna die?

Carol hands dad a grenade and dad sets it down...

It shatters the glass and we climb through the window. Daryl lifts me out.
I unsheath my Katana and take down two rotters as I run to the jeep with Shane, Daryl in tow running to his truck.

I jump in the jeep and Shane gets in and pulls me down his body covering mine.

"Wha-"

I'm cut of by a deafening explosion and a scorching heat wave. After a few minutes we both sit back up, panting.

That's why we had to get out so quick.

I turn to look at Shane and he faces me.

"It's a long story Elle," he says with a smirk. The cars in front start up.

I nod, wiping the sweat off my forehead.

"We got time," I reply with a faint smile. He smiles then starts up the jeep and follows behind Daryl.

We drive away from the CDC.

Fort Benning is our last hope.
