Turbulent // Carl Grimes

[TIME IS SET BACK AT THE PRISON]
The plot of TWD is slightly altered in this fanfiction!! The conflict with The Governor is much less prominent, and certain characters may be taken out/added to fit context. Also, all the characters are slightly aged up to fit how long I have set them there. The main character of the book and Carl will be 17 at the beginning of the story, meaning all the other characters will be about 2+ years older then they would have been in the actual prison season! I will explain any other alterations during the chapters.

Summary: A girl who has been on her own for several months has a run in with a few kind people who claim to have a camp. She agrees to follow them, finding out it was a prison. This girl, Sage, finds herself wrapped up with a lively group who have a fierce passion to protect each other. Sage tries to find where she fits into the group, while everyone around her is trying to figure out the cryptic girl. Then a very curious Carl Grimes decides to take a chance by getting to know her, but their personalities don't exactly mesh. They are both headstrong and independent, making it hard for them to work together, which gives Sage all the more reason to shut herself away.
Will she be able to open up after all that she's lost?
What secrets is she trying so desperately to hide?
