As always, I do not own TWD or any of the characters.
Sorry it took so long to update, I will try to be better.
Carol's POV
I was put into a room, given some food, and told to get some rest. I noticed my bag was layin on the bed. I ate the food and waited. After a few hours, Andrea finally came into my room. "Carol" she whispered "Are you still awake." "Off course I'm awake." I whispered back. Then the wondering and worry got the best of me "I swear I thought you were dead when we fled from the farm. Daryl wanted to comeback to make sure but Rick said it was a suicide mission. I'm so sorry; we should have come back and looked for you." She grasped my hand "He was right Carol there were so many of the dead and they were here for days. I climbed a tree and stayed in that thing for days. The herd made its way through and I took out the stragglers left behind easily. They must have chased after the cars leaving in all directions because the house was beat up but still standing. I thought eventually you all would come back though, I know Hershel did not want to give up his farm. After a while, I figured you all for dead. Larry and his boys showed up about a year ago they new Hershel and seemed like good enough people. Being alone was hard. I missed people so they stayed. We have not had any herds come through no real trouble. I saw a group in town a few times they did not seem very friendly so I stayed hid. Nobody here is going to hurt you, I told them your family and that is that. There all good boys you do not have anything to worry about. I am so glad you are here I missed you so much. That's mine now tell me yours."
I went through the events of the past 2 years, finding the prison, losing Lori, T dog, about little ass kicker, about finding Merle with that awful governor man that wanted to take the prison, and then I told her about the sickness that brought me back to the farm. I finally decided to just tell her the truth of what happened with Karen and David. I started at what I would call the beginning "What happened was I had been secretly training the kids to use knifes during story time." she giggled at that. I continued. "I thought they needed to be able to take care of themselves. The sick people had been quarantined to keep the sickness from spreading. When I went to check on Karen and David, I found one of the children from story time already there. She had already ended them both. She had been having some issues, it was my fault. If I had not have been pushing those kids so hard to be strong… I dragged the bodies outside and burned them. I was hoping to stop the spread of infection. I was going to tell Daryl what had happen but Tyreese found them before I had a chance. Tyreese is a big man and angered he was scary. I was afraid so I kept quite. Others had already started showing signs of sickness. Glen, Merle, Lizzee, Sasha (Tyrolese's sister) a lot of people got sick real quick. Daryl took a group of the few people left not sick to get medical supplies. The children were quarantined with Beth, Carl and Hershel. Rick asked me if I killed them. I told him yes. We needed medical supplies desperately but group who went on the run had not gotten back so Rick decided we needed to go to a nearby town and see what we could find. He told me he would not have me around his kids and sent me away. He told me I wasn't welcome back at the prison anymore." Andrea was shocked. "I can't believe he threw you out of the group like that. That man has a lot of nerve but some track record huh. He left you, me, Merle was his first victim and he left Sofia in the woods to fend for herself. I have defended a lot of snakes in my time and he would fit right in with the lot of them. So he didn't let you say goodbye he just took you on a run and sent you on your way." Yep, that's what he did." I told her. We sat there in silent's holding hands as the sun came up. Luther came in at day brake. "Me and the boys are gonna head towards home and bury daddy with momma. You alls welcome ta join us." Where's home?" I asked quickly. "Kentucky, use ta be about 5 hour trip on the interstate took us damned near three weeks ta get here a year ago. I'm hopin it don't take us that long ta get home." Andrea stood up "I'll pack my bag. Carol you in?" I shrugged my shoulder and joined Andrea "Nothin keeping here, I'm in." Luther smiled, "Let's load the cars and get on the road then." As we started towards the stairs, we could clearly hear a commotion going on downstairs. Then I heard someone call my name and it sounded like a dream.
Daryl's POV
As we got closer to the house, we could see a lot of movement inside. Merle whispered, how many you count Baby brotha. I held up five fingers. But that is just what we could see on the first floor. No way of knowin just how many were up stairs. Merle decided our next move and he busted in the kitchen. I followed with my crossbow at the ready cusin him every breath. The boys started scrambling for their weapons. Merle took charge of the room. "Now they ant no cause ta be getting all excited we don't won't no trouble. Just lookin for my brotha over there's woman and we saw her car outside." He said trying to calm the skittish group of boys. That is what they were to, not of one of them out of their teens. "We ant got no woman here Mr. You should just move on." One of the boys rambled out. Merle chuckled, "Well if that's the case you want mind us takin a look see up them, there stairs behind you. Two of the boys took defensive positions in front of the stairs. I tracked them with my crossbow. "Carol", I hollered, waited, and hoped that she was up those stairs and safe.
