Summery: Carol is sent away by Rick, she tries to tell him something but Rick tells her that he doesn't want to hear it. Carol is alone in this world belonging to the undead but she is really alone? Will Daryl go after her or will he stay behind with Beth whom he says he loves?

Prologue

Carol woke up to screams and ran from her bed into the cell block where the screaming was coming from. She gasped as she saw walkers eating people, she ran towards the chaos with her knife.

She lost count of how many walkers she bought down but finally it was over. The blood shed only lasted seconds but it lasted seconds too long. Later on she finds out that there is a sickness going around and that two people were being quarantined.

Carol started to panic, she went to Daryl and tried to talk to him but he ignored her. Daryl had been cold told her since she and him drank too much vodka and spent one night together three months ago. He blamed her for it since she suggested drinking it, to make matters worse Daryl and Beth had been going out since then. So, when Daryl told Beth what happened Beth called her a cheap slut.

Somehow the rest of the original group found out and become cold to Carol. She had started to think that maybe Ed was right, how could someone love a pitiful thing like her?

This sickness caused her to fear not only for herself but for someone else that she already loves with all her heart and soul. She didn't think when she went to Karen and David, wasn't thinking when she plunged the knife into the base of their skulls. Even when she lit them on fire was she thinking, okay all that was a lie. She was thinking, she was thinking she needed to protect, protect everyone especially the one she loves with her whole being.

Somehow Rick found out she did it, he was after all a good cop. She cried herself to sleep that night knowing she ended two lives and the sickness still spread like wildfire.

Rick asked her to come with him on a run because there were not a lot of people still around since half of them were sick and a group had went out to get meds for the sick, Daryl was with that group.

They met two people to take back but they didn't make it. Carol went to get into the car when Rick stopped her.

"You are not coming back. I don't want you around my kids, nobody wants you around after what you did to Daryl." said Rick. He went to the trunk and grabbed a backpack and threw it down on the ground at Carol's feet.

"Rick! I'm sorry I did what I did. I got scared for everyone. I am also sorry for what I did to Daryl but please don't leave me here!" cried Carol.

Rick sighed and pulled out his gun, he aimed at her, "GO!"

"But Rick I-" Carol never got to finished her sentence when Rick fired the gun but it missed her by a hair. She knew that he did that on purpose, Rick never missed a shot. Carol spared a glace at him before grabbing the bag and running full sped away from him and the direction of the prison.

Carol lost track of how far she ran but she was far enough away from where she was to walk. She had tears running down her face while she walked, what was she going to do? She had no one now.

But that was not true, she put her hands on the small bump that started showing last week on her stomach.

"Just me and you little bit. I don't know what I am going to do but I will try my hardest to protect you!" she whispered to her tummy where Daryl Dixon's child grew in her.
