General POV
Everyone waited for Hershel to come back with results. he had asked for privacy 20 minutes ago and rick was beginning to worry. How was he? Why is he taking so long? All there attention was caught when Hershel entered common area. Rick stood up and walked to Hershel.
" Starved and dehydrated, He has a fever 102 degrees at the most, bruises and marks all over his body, no broken bones but I did discover some sexual abuse''
Rick only felt true horror, The thought of his son tortured in such a manner. Everyone was exchanging glum looks. Rick walked passed Hershel and steered himself to where carl was. He walked in to see him with the blanket covering half of his body with his top half he had the bruises and marks seen earlier. Every bad thing that could've happened to him that he hoped didn't happen came true. He held carls hand trying to hold back tears looking at the damage to his sons body.
Rick POV
I sat there not knowing what to do or think as I held his hand and I noticed the raw skin on his wrists. He couldn't focus on one injury for too long he was here and there. But one question that rang in his head was carl actually raped please be a misunderstanding please. Rick couldn't deal with it if that was to have happened to him. The governor did have a sick mind but was I underestimating him well maybe I would just ask carl himself.
Carl POV
I felt hands travel on my thighs as he was pressed up against me and thrusted hard into me that's what he did for 5 minutes. He forced my back against the wall and straddled my hips and pushed up on me he kept my hands pinned on the wall. A punch on my side sent me into pain keeping me from fighting back. He turned me around and had my back pressed into him and straddled my legs. I felt him do a slight nibble on my ear and kiss the back of my neck. I heard the sound of someone's belt being taken off but is wasn't mine.
"No please don't do this" I cried
"CARL, CARL WAKE UP"
I snapped my eyes open and gasped for air to see my dad, Hershel, carol all in the cell with everyone else outside with worried looks on their faces.
"Are you okay" Hershel asked placing a hand on my forehead
" Yeah im fine" I replied
" are you sure something feel weird anything hurt" He asked I nodded 'no'
"I'll get him something to eat" Carol said and she stood up and left. taking everyone else with her so it was just me and my dad.
'Where's the governor" I asked I felt hesitant about that question and it showed
"He's not here he wont hurt you anymore, I wont let him" he responded
My father continued " You were shaking and mumbling in your sleep something wrong what is it" My dad asked with pleading eyes
I just shrugged
" Does it have to do with the governor or what happened"
I slowly nodded a 'yes'
"You need to talk about it" he responded
Talking about what the governor did was probably a tricky topic for me. After the dream I just had it seems like it would haunt me forever. I didn't see any other option though.
"Be completely honest, did he rape you" He seemed hesitant but desperate for an answer. I just looked down blinked and kept them closed for a while until I quietly muttered a yes. When I did I wasn't able to even look at him. At that moment for some reason it seemed embarrassing. It was something I didn't want to really talk about, especially when I had bruises and marks as a reminder of it and the haunting flashbacks and dreams. My dad pinched the brig of his nose and I avoided I contact. Then I spoke again even though I didn't want to I did,
"He choked me with water, Burned my arm, whipped me too" I continued I noticed a single tear escape his eye as well. It only made me feel worse, I began to wonder if it was my fault I didn't answer any thing and those were my consequence's. I tried shifting so I could sit up right it caught my dads attention so he helped me. when I was just sitting I began to start coughing and felt nauseated and head felt heavy headed. Dad sat next to me as my leaned against the wall he put a hand on my head.
" My god, your burning up, stay here im going to get Hershel"
With that he bolted out of the room and he called for Hershel. I let my head stay on the wall not moving it. Then rick and Hershel came back in the room set a cold rag on my forehead and had me lie down back down where I just laid on my side letting the sickness put me to sleep.
Middle of the night General POV
Rick was having carl sleep on the top bunk in his cell too keep an eye on him. That night really late he woke up to the sound of coughing but not from above him. He sat up and found carl throwing up in the toilet. Rick immediately bolted from bed and went to his side to calm him down placing a hand on his back.
"Shhh calm down, get it out" rick soothed him
Carl then finished but kept taking heavy breaths and rested his head on ricks shoulder. Maggie ran into the cell in a panic.
"What happened I heard noise" she breathed
"He threw up" rick responded
" I'll be right back" Maggie left then came back with some water she tilted it on his lips so he could drink some.
"He's gonna need some kind of medicine not gonna leave on its own, im going to try to make a run in the morning" With that Maggie left and rick put carl on his bed so they could talk for a bit.
"You doing okay" he asked, carl just nodded. "I'm sorry, I let this happen, but if you want to talk that why im here, Okay?" Carl just nodded.
After, rick put him back to sleep and so did he.
