I wake up in a damp and dingy room. It smells of sewage. I squint and rub my eyes and then take another look at my surroundings. There are other people in here with me, no one I know. There are some dead people too, not walkers, just carcasses. I can feel sick in my mouth. This room has a drain and I can only imagine what that's used for. I wish I could black out again.

I blink my eyes hard a couple of times so I can see better. I realise there's 2 people and 3 dead bodies.
"You're awake" one says to me, he must be about 15. He has dark, long and shaggy hair that hangs over his forehead.
I nod in response.
"You've been out for a long time" another person informs me. She's got blonde hair and blue eyes. She seems just a little younger than me.
"How..how...long?" I stutter.
"Probably about 2 days, we don't have clocks or windows in here, we have no way to tell" another person speaks which startles me. It turns out that one dead body wasn't actually dead, he was just laying down and someone who looks tortured and battered. This one also has dark hair like the first boy, except his is much shorter and he looks older. Maybe the same age as the girl. He has lots of scars among his body and face but one really sticks out; it resembles the shape of a lightning bolt.

"What...who...um why are we here?" I can't seem to get the words off my tongue.
"They're going to eat us" the first boy says.
The girl slaps his arm softly "Carl, don't say that!"
I look down and try to fight the tears, Carl was the name of Maggie's baby. Maggie's baby that was brutally murdered. And then I suddenly remember that Maggie's baby was named after Ricks son!
"Carl!?" I suddenly burst out. He raises his eyebrow at me.
"Um, Carl, do you have a dad?" I ask somewhat awkwardly.
"Everyone has a dad, do you mean an alive dad?" He asks me and I nod again. "I don't know, I lost him somewhere but we've never found each other again"
I take a deep breath "is your dads name Rick?"
He looks alarmed and replies with "yes...how did you know that!"
My eyes brighten up again and I almost hug him, "I was with your dad, and others from your group! He's alive...well he's here"
His eyes register happiness for a moment before turning dull again "well he's probably dead now"
"He's probably not Carl, I mean we've been here a long time and they haven't killed us yet" the girl says.
"And you were the odd one out, I mean both mine and Tris' dads are dead!" the other boy blurts in before receiving a death stare from the girl, apparently calls Tris.
"Well if my dad is dead then we are all orphans" Carl jokes with a sad look on his face.
I sigh "including me"
Tris takes my hand and then says "well welcome to the gang"
