MagiaMyst: Haha, what can I say? I love getting reviews! They cheer me up and make me write faster. : )


KARA

"Hey, sleepyhead" Someone said and woke me up. I yawned and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I saw that it was Glenn who was waking me up. We had reached the CDC.

"Come on, let's go" I heard Rick as he got out of his vehicle.

We all started towards the CDC. I waved at Daryl and he came over to me and Glenn. I got all of bags from inside and we approached the looming structure in front of us.

There were bodies scattered everywhere. It smelled so bad that I wanted to lift my shirt up to cover my nose but I knew it would be improper.

Daryl handed me a cloth and I put it over my nose and mouth.

"Thanks" I muttered as we made our way through the graveyard. Few of them started getting up at the smell of fresh meat. A walker near my leg started growling and Daryl quickly shot it through the head with his arrow.

"You best stay close to me" He grunted, slipped an arm around my waist and pulled me near to him. Carol smiled at that and said "Thank for taking care of her"

Daryl just stifled a smile.

"There's nobody here" T-dog said.

"Then why are these shutters down?" Rick asked, still determined that CDC was the best option.

"You led us into a graveyard!" Daryl yelled at him as more and more walkers started coming towards us.

"He made a call" Dale said.

"Well, that was the wrong damn call!" Daryl screamed.

"Daryl…" I said and touched his arm.

"Shut up! Shut up!" Shane said getting up close in Daryl's face.

"Shane please" I said.

"Fort Benning is still an option" Shane said.

"What are we going to do about tonight?" Lori asked, hugging Carl close to her.

"Let's go! Let's go" Shane cried and we all started walking back. Daryl entangled one arm between mine so he could work with the crossbow and still keep me next to him. It was sweet but I could take care of myself.

I was immune, wasn't I?

"Come on Kara. Steady your pace" He scolded me.

"Daryl I can-"

"The camera. It moved!" Rick said. Then Shane and Rick got into an argument. There was much chaos. Walkers were getting close. Rick was screaming at an inanimate object and Shane was screaming at him.

"God damn it" I muttered.

Shane grabbed a hold of Rick and started pulling him back.

"You're killing us! You're killing us!" Rick yelled.

"Rick, let's just go" I begged.

Suddenly the door opened and a bright light came. I couldn't help thinking about 'the light at the end of the tunnel'

We all ran inside, Daryl still holding me. It was kind of getting annoying so I shoved his hand away.

"Anybody infected?" A voice cried out. We all turned to see a young man, in his casuals, standing there with a gun pointed at us.

"Not anymore" Rick said and Carol and a lot of others glanced at me.

"Why are you here? What do you want?" The man asked.

"A chance" Rick said.

"The price of admission is a blood test" He said and we all got our bags and hurried inside.

After Andrea's turn, I went to Jenner to get my blood tested. He pricked me and I felt a little bit pain because I was never really a fan of needles. Also, I could get kind of sick around blood. It was something nobody knew because that is the biggest weakness when everywhere around you people are eating each other.

One time, back in grade school, I hurt myself and fainted not from the blood loss but from the sight of it.

Jenner peered into the microscope and glanced up at me.

"You're fine" He said to me.

"All done?" He asked glancing around at the people in the room. Everybody nodded.

"What was your name again?" He asked me.

"Kara" I replied.

"Kara, would you mind helping with the doors a minute, making sure everything's secure?"

"Uh, sure" I said. I looked back at Rick and Daryl and I could see a twinge of jealously flash on Daryl's face as we went back to the entrance.

"Rest of you, why don't you head up there?" Jenner told them. We arrived at the entrance. I checked all the doors and everything seemed fine.

"It's okay" I told him. I heard a click. I turned and saw him standing there with a gun pointed at me.

"What?" I cried.

"You lied. All of you lied" He said and came closer to me.

"About what?"

"You're infected" He said.

"No! I assure you I'm not!" I said.

"Your blood shows that you are infected. Now I can either shoot you in the head or you can leave"

"I'm not infected" I repeated.

"Show me the bite" He commanded. I nodded and lifted a part of my shirt up to show him.

"Make your choice" He said.

"Please! Don't shoot me. I'm immune" I revealed.

"What? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard" He said mocking me. He turned the safety off and said "Make your choice now"

"I swear I'm immune. I was bit a week ago and this little scar was a scratch I got the day this started. I'm not infected yet! That's the only explanation"

"I don't believe you" He said.

"Please. I'm telling you the truth" I begged "You can ask anyone of my group. Ask Daryl or Rick or Andrea"

He thought for a bit and said "No, I'm not falling for that. Get out of here" He pressed a button and the shutter opened.

"Leave" He directed me.

"Please don't" I said. I could feel myself on the verge of tears.

"Leave now or I'll shoot you" He said oblivious to my crying.

"DARYL!" I yelled. Jenner quickly came to me and started to push me out, to where the walkers were. I struggled and yelled "Daryl! Help!"

Suddenly, Daryl appeared along with Rick and Shane.

"What the hell are you doing?" Shane yelled.

"Let her go now!" Daryl cried and pointed his crossbow at him.

"She's immune Jenner! She's not infected. She was bit a long time ago and she's all right" Rick explained.

"That's not possible" Jenner said.

"It is. Look I'll explain everything" Rick said.

"Get the hell off her!" Daryl yelled and shoved Jenner away. A walker got a hold of my hair and I screamed. Daryl quickly grabbed my top and pulled me towards him, away from the walker.

Rick pushed the button and the shutter closed.

"You okay?" Daryl asked me, caressing my face.

"I'm fine" I said and went up to Jenner "I could prove to you that I'm immune. Just wait and see if I turn"

"Whatever" he said and walked away "Join us for dinner"

We familiarized with each other. For some reason, I didn't feel like joining them so I was in a room Jenner led me to. I took a shower and washed my hair. It felt amazing.

I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and saw Daryl.


DARYL

"Hey. Are you coming?" I asked, leaning against the post. I was a bit too drunk.

"No, I'm fine" She said.

"Don't you want some wine?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"Suits me" I said and went back to the dining hall. The atmosphere had changed and Jenner seemed to be talking about a rash of suicides.

"Dude you are such a buzz kill" Glenn said groaning. Jenner led us to the housing compartment and assigned us rooms.

I went to mine and crashed down on the bed. I heard my door open and I quickly shot up straight. It was Kara. She had changed into just a t-shirt that hung till her mid-thigh. She looked adorable.

"Hey, were you sleeping?" She asked me quietly.

"What is it with you and late night?" I asked her. She laughed and came over to me on the bed.

"No, really. What is it?" I asked her.

"I just couldn't sleep" She said and sat down on the far end of my bed.

"So you come in here and wake me up too" I said and she grinned.

"It's just, nothing. Forget it" She said and retracted back a little.

"What is it, Kara?" I pushed her.

"I have nightmares. About Skye and I just, there was this one where walkers are eating on me but I don't die. I'm just there. It's because I'm immune" She said slowly.

"Oh shit. I completely forgot" I said.

"Forgot what?" She asked.

"Jenner wanted to see you" I told her.

"What? Right now?" She asked a little upset.

"I think it'd be best Kara" I said. She frowned.

"What if he tries to kill me again?" She asked.

"Rick is going with you" I told her.

"Why not you?" She asked me and then blushed.

"I'm too drunk to take care of you" I told her truthfully.

She said goodbye to me and went outside.


KARA

I was so disappointed that Daryl wouldn't be coming with me to Jenner. I was scared of him and I trusted only Daryl to take care of me which was pretty weird.

Rick was just as good, wasn't he?

I made my way to the main room where Jenner was nowhere to be found. Rick also seemed to be waiting for him.

"Where's Jenner?" He asked me and I shrugged.

"Do you know where he sleeps?" I said and he shook his head.

"Well, let's just wait for him" Rick said and after a while spoke up "Why didn't you come for dinner?"

"I wasn't feeling like" I told him.

"You must be starving. What's wrong?"

"I just, I've been feeling so guilty ever since I found out. Nobody looks me in the eye anymore" I confessed.

"Guilty because you're immune" He stated and I slightly nodded.

"Well, here you go" He handed me a wine bottle "Get your mind off it"

I smiled and took if from him.

After an hour of waiting for Jenner we gave up and decided he wasn't coming. I had a headache because I had too much to drink and I could feel myself becoming tipsy.

Rick was right and the drink had taken my mind off it. He was a pretty fun guy and I totally didn't understand how Lori was so mean to him.

"I guess we go back" He said and propped himself up from the ground. We had sat down leaning against the tables. I had been drunk before but not as much as I was noe.

"Okey" I slurred. He laughed and said "You are so drunk"

"So are you" I pointed out.

"Let's go sweetheart" He said and gave me a hand. I took it and got up. I was so close to him.

"By the way Kara" He said "At least I look you in the eye, right?"

"Mhm" I nodded and leaned closer.

"I think this is very inappropriate" Rick said, his words tumbling from his mouth in a rush of barely distinguishable syllables.

"It is" I said and noticed for the first time how good-looking he was. He had close-set blue eyes that I was staring into at this moment.

He put an arm around my waist and I kissed him.
