THE NEXT DAY...
Carl's POV
I came back from my run with Hershel in the woods yesterday and found my dad waiting for me. He was a little upset that I went outside the fences without telling him or getting his permission, but Hershel told my dad that he needed my help going outside, so dad ended up being okay with it. After that dad said he needed to speak with me so Hershel left to give us some privacy.
Dad had then pulled me to the side and told me that Madison was sick. That she came walking out do the administrations building, coughing up blood, and that he walked her to quarantine and told her it would be okay.
My heart practically shattered into a million little pieces. My two best friends are sick.
And to make it even better, my dad left with Carol just a few minutes ago to go on a run with her since we lost all of our food and water in 'D' block.
I can't visit Judith because I don't want to risk getting her sick.
My dad left.
And my two best friends are sick.
I'm all alone.
It was dark out now, and I was still alone—wondering through the halls of the administration building, for all the kids had gotten sick, except for Mika and Luke who were sleeping and Beth and Judith who were locked in a room so Judith wouldn't get sick since she was the most vulnerable out of us all.
All of a sudden two gun shots went off. I snapped my head down the hall, where the doors to the exit were located. I could hear my heart beat accelerate.
Why two?
Why only two?!
Why any gun shots?!
"Carl!" It was my dads voice. I took off running, eventually coming to the hall where he was located.
"What's wrong? I heard shots," I asked.
"I need your help, come on," Dad said. I nodded and followed him.
He led me towards the fences by the main gate. He explained what happened...that he and Maggie were fixing it when gun shots went off and he told her to go.
We started to fix the fence by putting logs up against it, hoping it will by us some time until we could get rid of the walkers up against it.
He picked up a log and kind of struggled to lift it to the fence by himself, so I walked towards it and went to lift it. He gave me a look, pretty much telling I got it, Carl, back off.
"Let me help you," I sighed. He nodded. I took the other end of the log, and we stuck it on the fence...together. "What's going on in there? I heard gun shots."
"I don't kn—" He was cut off as the sound of wood snapping in half made echoed in our ears. The fence fell and walkers began piling in. "Run!" Dad yelled, pushing me forward.
I ran towards the tower door, but stopped when I heard someone fall. I turned around and seen a walker had pulled him down. "Dad! Come on!"
He stood up, after kicking the walker away, and pushed me ahead of him again as we both ran as fast as we could towards the tower. I opened the door and ran in. As soon as he entered he shut the door behind us.
They began piling up against the fence, using their disgusting hands to bang on it. That fence wouldn't hold them for long.
Dad ran to the laundry cart and wheeled it over. He grabbed a gun and handed me one, along with another round of ammo. He quickly taught me how to use it then we waited.
Not a second later, the fence fell down and the walkers stormed in. Gunshots rang in my ears as we shoot them all until every single one of them was on the ground.
We put the guns down and used pipes to go through and make sure they're officially dead.
Our attention was soon turned to the path as a car was driving towards the prison. It was our blue minivan. They were back.
I turned to Dad. "They're going be okay now." He gave me a small smile and nodded as we walked over to the car.
