The Walking Dead: Secrets

Part 20

PAIGE'S P.O.V
Tears swelled in my eyes. I thrashed out of Aaron's arms, falling to the ground. I scooted myself beside Carl as he stared at her body, crying. I laid my head on his shoulder. "Why would you do that?" I whispered in his ear. "I don't know...I'm sorry please, forgive me..." He muttered as his head drooped down. "I'm ready to forgive you, but forgetting is a harder fight..." I muttered.

His eyes met mine. "All my mistakes are drowning me, Paige. I try to fix them piece by piece, but it just seems to never work..."
"Carl..."
"I might look like someone to be proud of, but I'm not...I'm no better than a criminal..."
"That's not true. I love you..."
He collided our lips and I could feel his tears fall onto my skin. "I love you, too. I just have a problem of trying to paint over the scars and bruises, but you can still see them. I feel them. I'm a monster."

GLENN'S P.O.V
The man grasped my arm and made me follow them down a road. I was terrified. I didn't know where they were taking me. Just escaping with the group, then being caught by 5 men was bad enough. I am hoping that Maggie is okay...She wasn't taken. All I remember was being dragged away, my legs flailing as I thrashed. I could hear Maggie's screams, cries, and yells as I was pulled farther away. I'm just haunted by the memories. "Come on! Hurry up!" A group member yelled at me from behind. I picked up my pace as I followed the leader.

RICK'S P.O.V
"Ow!" I flinched as Beth put medicine on my wound. "Just stay still..." She mumbled. I sat up on the log, and sobbed. "Who was that girl?" I asked. "I don't know...she seemed dangerous..." Michonne replied to me. "Well, I'm fine...that 'crank' just caught me off guard." Maggie looked over at me. "What happened anyways?" She asked. "Oh...I attacked that thing, and I got knocked into the table, cut me." She nodded. "Oh, okay." Daryl moved in between us. "Let's get moving. We need to find Paige and Carl..." I got up and followed the group. We walked further into the woods looking for any traces of them. "Hey, look! Somebody is by that tree!" Beth announced pointing at a figure, lying against the stump. "Oh, please be them..." I mumbled. I walked over to the person as everyone else followed behind me. We were in utter shock. Truly shocked. The girl that had came up to us earlier was rested upon the tree. Her face was blue, handprints around her neck. Somebody had strangled her.
