Jess's pov
I sat behind the truck . I didnt want to be here .. The man we trusted... He chopped that poor old guys head off .. He promised no body would get hurt .
"JESS , GET UP AND SHOOT RIGHT NOW ." He shouted . I was on the verge of crying .
"That rick guy was right , we didnt have to do this ! You wanted war with other people . This is slaughter !" I shouted .
Our group had a tank that was pretty huge .. And all they had were guns and ammunition and small kids.
"MOVE OUT NOW !" The man shouted .
I walked slowly behind the tank and hid . I ran around and hid by a small car . I shot walkers and i backstabbed the man . I shot the people in our group and reloaded .
I cant be on their side , they screwed up a chance for peace , and turned it into violence .
20 minutes later -
Biters filled the prison. I watched as a young boy about my age ran to rick.
I walked slowly up to them with no weapons and my hands up .
"Um .. E-excuse me.. I.." They pulled guns on me .
"Stop , right there ." Rick demanded .
I stopped . He walked over to me .. Beaten up and bloody.
He looked at me and i looked down ashamed .
"Carl, handcuffs. Now." He said .
I put my hands forward and the boy cuffed my hands together . We walked away from the prison and the biters , and the whole time i wanted to cry . If only my group denied this guys order to go to war nothing would be so screwed up . We could have all been friends .
But we arent.
We walked and walked , for what seemed like a never ending day.
We stopped at an abandoned house and carl and his dad started shouting . Carl slammed the door and his dad yelled at him to stop .
...
After an hour of barrackading doors and few windows , we settled in and also settled down.
I was beginning to get hungry .
Coincidentally, carl walked over to me and threw me a peach .
"Thank you.." I said .
He just .. Looked at me .
I peeked at him from time to time while eating .
"What was it like ?" He asked .
"What?" I asked .
"Working alongside the governer , killing most of our people ?" He looked at me and i looked down .
"Thats what you call him ..?Honestly , i wasnt in for it .. I tried to talk him out of it , he wouldnt listen , he promised nobody would get hurt but he ended up killing your people with our weapons and our people . I .. I shot my people that were shooting you and your people , but that was it . I never fired at you guys at all . And i shot some biters too.. Thats all. He said you guys were killers .. Theives even and i was right not to believe him . You guys were doing just fine before he showed up. I wish he didnt mess up our chances of living together." I said .
I let out a few tears .
"Im sorry about the handcuffs .. Its just my dad doesnt trust anyone who has been working with that man .. We've been in a fight with him before .. He just , isnt right in the head ."
He explained .
"Its fine .. I understand now what he was capable of." I said .
"I dont want you to get in trouble so , dont take off the handcuffs okay ? Maybe when your dad wakes up we can talk to him about how i wasnt involved ." I said giving him a weak smile .
"Okay . Hey , whats your name ? I never got it ." He said.
"My name is jess ." I said shaking his hand with the cuffs on .
"Nice , im carl grimes and thats my dad , rick grimes." He introduced himself and his father.
We talked and talked for hours and hours , then it got dark .
It was extremely cold and only rick and carl had blankets .
I started shivering and i sat up rubbing my hands together .
"Come here jess, get in the covers i have way too much." Carl whispered .
I layed down on the floor while he layed on the couch , and i fell asleep.
