Noel's POV
After Carl gave me a tour of the prison, Beth showed me where my cell was and I went to bed. I couldn't stop thinking about Carl's mom. I mean, she never got to see her daughter. And I still haven't met Rick. And he's the leader. What if he doesn't let me stay? What if he sends me back out there? What if he kills me? Maybe Carl will talk his dad into letting me stay. I don't know. I'm just tired.
I started to fall asleep when I heard a know on the wall beside my cell door.
"Hey, I got you some extra blankets if ya need 'em." Beth said walking into my cell.
"Thanks." I said taking the blankets from her. It'll be nice to be able to sleep without having to worry about the dead eating you in your sleep.
"Yep. May I sit down?" Beth asked motioning to my bed.
"Yeah, sure." I said sitting up.
"Whatcha need?"
"Nothin' I'm just bored." She said laughing.
"Okay, you wanna do somthin'? Like what do you do for fun?" I asked messing with a loose string on the blanket.
"Well, now I usually take care of the baby. But before that when we were still at my daddy's farm, I just mostly talked to people." She said laughing.
"Okay, so, how'd y'all meet?" I asked the first thing that popped into my head.
"Well, 'bout a year ago, Maggie was sitin' on the front porch of our house and she saw a man runnin' through my daddy's field. It was Rick, and Carl had been shot by one of our friends Otis. But it was an accident. So my daddy saved Carl's life, then he let their group stay at our farm for a little bit well Carl was healing, and a little girl in their group went missin' and they were tryin' to find her. And when... Their group found out we had Walker's in our barn... And Rick's friend Shane, he went to the barn and... He... Cleared it out. And all our friends and family were in the barn. My daddy thought they were sick or somthin' we didn't know they were actually dead. So we kept them in the barn 'til they got better. My momma was in the barn and so was my brother. But Shane he cleared it out without askin' and they found the little girl in the barn, she was a walker. And Shane blamed my daddy for her bein' in there and he said that we knew where she was the whole time. But we didn't. And then I kinda went into shock or somthin' and my daddy left. He went to a bar. And Rick and Glenn went to get him back and they got attacked. And they brought one of the guys back. He was just a kid. His name was Randall. And Shane wanted to kill Randall but Rick wanted to just send him away with some food and water. And Shane went and killed Randall anyway and lied and said that Randall led him into the trees and tried to kill him. Then Shane tried to kill Rick but Rick killed him. And then a herd of Walker's came and our farm was overrun. Then we found the prison. And my daddy got bit, so Rick had to... cut his leg off. And then we found some prisoners that were hidin' in the cafeteria. And one of em was bad. He led Walker's into the prison and we all got separated and Lori went into labor. And Maggie and Carl had to... Carl had to shoot his own mom." She said staring at the ground. Wow, this Shane guy sound like a real idiot. And Carl had to shoot his own mom? Oh man, that kid is gonna be messed up.
"Wow." Was all I could say.
"Yeah, then Rick went... Crazy. And he's been down where Lori died for a while. I haven't seen him since he found out." She said looking up at me then back down to the floor.
"That's sad." I said standing up.
"C'mon, let's go find Rick. I wanna meet him." I said taking her hand.
"Um.. I don't think we should..." She started talking but Hershel came up to my cell.
"Rick's back. I think you should meet him now." Hershel said opening my cell door.
"Okay. Beth you wanna come?" I asked walking out if the cell.
"Um, I should probably go check on the baby. I'll see ya later" she said standing up and walking out if the cell.
"Okay." I said walking to the kitchen with Hershel.
"Beth said Rick is kinda... Crazy." I said looking up at Hershel.
"Well, I would use the word "Crazy" but ever since Lori passed he hasn't been so good." Hershel said frowning.
"Oh." I said as we entered the kitchen. There was a man with a beard and he had the same eye color as Carl. You can tell he's Carl's Dad.
"Rick?" Hershel said and Rick turned to us.
"This is Noel, Glenn and Daryl found her on their run." Hershel said smiling at me.
"And you let her in there? With Carl? And.. and the baby?" Rick said sounding kinda mad.
"She didn't Hurst anyone. And she wouldn't hurt anyone. She's been kind to everyone." Hershel said looking at Rick.
"I-Im sorry, I can't. That after the prisoners. Not after Lori, Carol, and T-Dog. I just can't." He said looking at me.
"Shes just a little girl. She won't survive out there on her own. If yiu send her out there... If she dies... Her blood, will be on your hands." Hershel said trying to reason with Rick.
"I-Im not.. I'm not sending her out there. She just can't go in there. Not with Carl." Rick said. Walking up to Hershel and I.
"Rick, she's already met him. She's already met everyone. She isn't gonna hurt him." Hershel said looking at Rick.
"I-i don't know." Rick said rubbing his forehead with the palm of his hand.
"I'm not gonna hurt Carl. I promise." I said walking up to Rick.
"He's a cool kid." I said smiling.
"Rick, just let her stay. We can keep an eye on her when she's with Carl. But I'm sure she's not gonna do anything." Hershel said walking up to me.
"I.. Okay, okay." Rick said walking up to me.
"Don-dont hurt him. If you do..." He started talking and then looked up at Hershel.
"She won't." Hershel said taking my hand.
"Alright, alright. But she sleeps on the second floor. Away from Carl." He said walking into the room with all the cell's.
"Well, looks like I gotta change cell's." I said smiling at Hershel.
After I changed cells I went to bed.
... ...
I woke up when I heard a knock on the wall beside my cell door.
"Hey, I'm going to be on watch for a while you wanna come?" I heard someone ask as opened my eyes.
It was Carl.
"Hey, um, when?" I asked yawning.
"Right now." He said standing outside my cell.
"Um," I said looking around my cell. "Sure."
"Okay." He said opening my cell door. And I went outside with him.
The sun was really bright. It's so dark in the prison.
"Glenn and Maggie went on a run to get more formula. Carl said walking behind me.
"Cool." I said.
"So, your dad said I could stay. As long as I was never alone with you." I said chuckling.
"Really?" He asked running to catch up with me.
"Yeah. He said that if I'm with you, there always has to be an adult around." I said smiling at him. His eyes were twinkling in the sunlight.
"Nice." He said. Walking ahead of me.
"My dad still thinks I'm a kid."
"Yeah, I hate it when people do that, say you can't do somthin' cause your just a "Kid" it's gets annoying." I said running to catch up to him.
"Yeah. My whole group does it. Including Beth." He said opening a door to a huge tower. It must be a guard tower or somthin'.
"Hey, maybe when the baby is older,
I could do the same to her." He said laughing.
"Your weird." I said laughing.
"I know." He said climbing up the ladder that leads to the top of the guard tower.
"Wow, you can see everything from up here." I said once we got to the top.
"Yeah. That's one reason why I like to be up here. And the other is so that I could get away from everyone." He said looking out the window
"Cool." Was all I said.
"Yeah." He said sitting down.
We sat there in silence for about an hour when Carl got up and ran to the window.
"What is it?" I asked standing up to join him by the window.
"It looks like a person. Standing right over there, see?" He said pointing to what looked like a person holding a red basket. And Rick was just staring at it.
"Let's go." Carl said running to the ladder.
"Coming." I said following him.
We ran up to the fence and there was a girl getting attacked by Walker's. She had dark skin, brown eyes and brown hair with dreadlocks.
"Carl." Rick said as Carl ran to open the gate. Carl opened the gate then pulled out his gun and started shooting the Walker's. He was actually a pretty good shot. I suck at shooting.
Then Rick ran out and grabbed the girl and Carl closed the gate.
Rick brought her into the kitchen and laid her down on the floor, on top of a blanked Daryl put on the floor.
"Carl, Noel go in there and lock the door behind you. Now!"
Rick yelled and Carl and I did as told.
Carl and I walked back to his cell and sat on his bed.
"See? They treat us like kids." He said laying down resting his head against the wall. He pulled his hat over his face. And I laughed.
"What?" He asked lifting his hat to look at me.
"Nothing. Why do you wear that hat anyway?" I asked laying down beside him.
"Cause, my dad gave it to me. He was a sheriff, He said if you get shot you get to wear the hat. So first he got to wear it, now I get to." He said putting the hat back over his eyes.
"Cool." I said. Sitting up.
And I heard someone walking into Carl cell and I sat up. It wasn't Rick. Crap, he said we couldn't be alone together.
"Carl, I need to talk with you for a second." Rick said as Carl stood up.
"Okay, I'll be right back he said walking out of the room with his dad. Did I get him in trouble? I hope I didn't.
I sat on Carl's bed for about fifteen minutes before he came back. He lied back down and sighed.
"Someone kidnapped Glenn and Maggie. My dad, Daryl the and the new girl are gonna go get them. And of course I have to stay here." He said pulling his hat over his eyes again. Wait kidnapped? By who?
"The bright side? I got to name the baby. And the new girl brought a basket of formula. So Judith can eat." He said putting his hands behind his head.
"Judith. That's a pretty name." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah." He said sighing.
We just sat there in silence for about 10 minutes 'til we heard screams.
"What was that?!" I said sitting up.
Carl stoop up and pulled his gun out of his belt.
"I don't know." He said walking out of the cell, and I followed him.
"What was that?" Beth asked coming down the stairs holding Judith.
"I'm not sure." Hershel said walking into the room.
"It came from the tombs." Beth said in a worried voice.
"I'll go check it out Carl said walking towards the door was Hershel stopped him.
"No, it's not safe."
Hershel said grabbing Carl's arm.
"My dad would go." Carl said walking out of the room.
"Sometimes you just can't get that boy to listen." Hershel said shaking his head.
"Wait Carl! I'm coming with you!" I said running out of the room to catch up with Carl.
We went into the tombs and we just walked in silence following information the screams.
Then Carl stopped at a door the read "Boiler Room" why is he staring at the door?
Then we heard more screams and Walker's growling.
Carl and I ran up to the people there were five people and a lot of Walker's.
Carl shot a couple of the Walker's and yelled; "C'mon! Follow me!"
They followed us back to the kitchen and Carl and I walked into the other room and left them in the kitchen.
One of the people were bit. And she was dead. I feel bad for them.
Carl closed the door behind us and locked it.
"Hey, kid. Did you just lock us in here?" A dark skinned woman asked.
"Don't worry, you safe and you have food and water." Carl said about to walk away. But then the woman ran up to the door and grabbed the bars.
"Unlock this door." She said glaring at Carl.
"Sasha, leave the kid alone. They helped us, and we've got our own problems to take care if." A dark skinned man said walking up to the girl.
The girl glared at Carl then turned around.
"Sorry 'bout that." The man said looking at Hershel who was behind us. And Beth was standing next to him holding Judith.
Carl walked back to his cell.
