Chapter Fourteen: Meeting the Prisoners
Glenn's POV:
"Son of a bitch!" one of the trapped prisoners yelled. I stood beside Em with our guns pointing at the prisoners like everyone else in the room, well minus Brian, Justin and Hershel of course.
"Who the hell are you?!" Daryl and one of the prisoners said at the same time.
"We have to get Hershel back before he bleeds to death!" Rick said and I looked at Em who nodded and we ran over to a long table that rolled and knocked everything off of it and brought it over to the group while Dar made the prisoners come out slowly.
"What happened to him?" The one in the while tank asked nodding towards Hershel.
"He got bit." Daryl said and the prisoners looked back at Hershel.
"Bit?" the same prisoner asked and reached for a gun on his side.
"Whoa easy there no one needs to get shot." Daryl said and held his crossbow more firm.
"If that one was bit what happened to him? Was he bit too?" the prisoner with the ugly facial hair asked nodding towards Justin which made Brian pull him closer and the rest of us stand in front of him.
"What's wrong with him is no concern of yours." Daryl said rather sharply and I couldn't hold back my smirk.
'I wouldn't want to be this guy right now. Daryl becomes crazy protective of us. Especially Rick, Carl and Justin.' I thought and looked back when white tank spoke again.
"I saw that one cut himself. Is he suicidal or something?" he asked and Brian growled at him.
"Didn't you hear Daryl? What's wrong with him is of no concern of yours!" he yelled and Justin looked up at him then everyone else.
"Have we all forgotten that Hershel's bleeding to death on a metal rolly table?" he asked and Brian just shook his head in amusement while the rest of us pushed Hershel out of the room.
"Daryl. Daryl!" Rick yelled over his shoulder and Daryl slowly followed us out while keeping his aim at the prisoners.
Brian's POV:
We all pushed the table with Hershel on it back towards the family with Daryl leading killing the walkers in our way while the rest of us took turns killing walkers that attacked from the side. I looked over at Justin who was helping push Hershel while keeping the an eye out for walkers. He looked pale and tired and ready to fall over but kept on fighting.
'Note to self: make Sunshine take about a two hour nap.' I thought only for a walker coming at me pull me out of my thoughts. I killed it and turned back to help the others until we finally reached the safety of the others.
"Carl unlock the door now!" Rick yelled and Carl and the others came rushing out to see what was wrong.
"Oh my God daddy!" Beth yelled and her and Maggie ran to the table and helped push it to a cell.
"What happened?!" Maggie asked and Justin looked at her.
"He got bitten on his ankle. Don't worry I've cured him. Now we just have to stop him from bleeding to death." he said and both sisters sighed in relief and pulled Justin into a big hug while continuously saying thank you to him.
I smiled at the scene then turned back to Rick when he called me. "Bri I need you to put pressure on the wound. Carol's gone to look for the medical supplies. Daryl's stopped the prisoners from coming in and I need to go help him." he said and I could see the well hidden worry in his eyes. I nodded in understanding and took his place at putting pressure on the wound.
"Sunshine why don't you go and rest. You used a lot of your blood today and you must be tired." I told him and he looked ready to argue but I gave him my no nonsense look and he sighed and nodded and left for our cell to get some much needed rest.
"OK Bri here's what I need you to do-" Carol began as she walked in and together we got to work and fixing Hershel.
Daryl's POV:
"Good news boys, you're free to go." I said to the prisoners as he held them at point.
"Watcha got goin' on in there?" white tank asked and I pointed my crossbow at him.
"Nothing that concerns you." I told him and he got an angry look on his face.
"Say it's none of my concern one more time-" he said and made to pull his pistol out.
"Whoa take it easy you two! Look, one of your men was bitten and the other cut himself. What in the hell's going on?" the tallest one asked and before I could answer white tank spoke again.
"The way I see it it's not safe outside anymore. What with civilians breaking INTO a prison they got no business in." he said and I pointed my crossbow at him.
"Leave and go find out for yourself." I said and the ugly facial dude spoke up.
"We'll just be leaving then." he said and white tank turned to him.
"We ain't leaving!" he yelled and T-dog came around the corner.
"You ain't coming in neither!" he said and held his gun at white tank who pointed his gun at T-dog which made me point my crossbow at him.
"This is my house, my rules I go where I damn well please!" he yelled and T-dog smirked and nodded at him.
"Ya, right." he said and white tank got even more angry from the looks of it.
"Hey everyone relax there's no need for this!" Rick said and I suddenly felt a lot safer with him here and I smiled at him. He smiled back and walked to stand close to me.
"How many of you in there?" white tank asked Rick.
"Too many for you to handle." Rick answered and I inwardly smirked at his understatement.
'More like people who are no longer afraid to kick ass to protect and survive.' I thought and looked back at the others.
"Why not take your injured men to a hospital?" white tank asked and Rick, T-dog and I shared a look.
"How long you been in that cafeteria?" Rick asked and they all got a thoughtful look on.
"About nine months, possibly ten." ugly facial said.
"A guard locked us in there when a bad riot broke and been locked in there since. Figured someone would call the army or something soon." white tank said and Rick sighed.
"There is no army. No hospital. Nothing, it's all gone." he said and they stared at each other in shock.
"Prove it." the tallest one said and Rick nodded and lead us outside.
Rick's POV:
"Damn this sun feels amazing!" white tank said and looked around and stretched.
"I never thought I'd love to see this fences again." ugly facial hair said. and then they looked around.
"So what is this? Some kind of virus?" the tallest asked and I nodded.
"Ya and we're all infected." I said and they looked at me.
"What do you mean by that?" white tank asked and a voice from behind them answered for me.
"Say I were to stab you in the heart. You'd come back as one of them. Doesn't matter you were never bit or scratched." Justin said walking towards us with his arms crossed over his chest and we all stared at him in shock.
"I thought you were asleep Sunshine? Get back inside it's not safe out here." Daryl said and Justin smiled at him and looked at white tank when he spoke.
"I thought you died? I saw you cut your wrist open." he said and Justin shook his head. "So, I didn't see you cut yourself?" he asked and Justin sighed and held his bandaged wrist up for us to see.
"No I did cut myself, I just didn't cut deep enough to bleed to death. Though I did cut deep enough to make me tired and a little dizzy." he said and Daryl instantly wrapped his arm around Justin's shoulder's to help support him.
"So, why cut yourself as one of your men bleeds to death from being bitten?" white tank asked and Justin just stared at him.
"That's no concern of yours. You don't need to know anything about our family." he said and white tank got mad.
"One more person say it's no concern of mine and I'll shoot them!" he yelled and I went to walk up to him to disarm him but Justin beat me to him. He got in white tanks face and smirked at him.
"It's no concern of yours." he said and white tank's face went purple. He raised his gun at Justin but Justin was quicker than him. Before white tank even had his finger on the trigger, Justin had a hold of his wrist and twisted it behind his back painfully and slapped his hand to make him drop the gun.
I couldn't help but smile at Justin. 'Guess teaching him to fight really was a good idea.' I thought before I walked up and knelt to where I could she white tank's face. "We're a tough group here. You can try to take us out but you'll be down before you can even raise a finger. Now, I know you guys have food. No one looks hungry and ten months is a long time. You give us half and we'll help you clear out a cell block. Deal?" I asked and he was breathing hard, whether from anger or embarrassment it didn't matter.
"Fine." was all he said and I nodded for Justin to let him go. He did so and white tank fell to the floor.
"Nice work Sunshine!" Daryl yelled and high-fived Justin as they laughed.
"Bet I could take you on now." Justin said and Daryl smirked at him.
"Keep dreaming kid." Daryl said and T-dog and I shared a smile before I took a step towards them.
"Alright you two, let's get Sunshine back inside before Bri has our heads then we'll go to the cafeteria." I said and they nodded and we all walked inside with the prisoners in our line of sight at all times.
"Where the hell did you go Justin?!" came Brian's angry, scared voice. Justin looked towards us for help but we all just held our hands up and stepped back one.
"Traitors." Justin said with a glare before he was in Brian's arms and being lead away. Though not before Brian said something without thinking in his fear/anger state and the prisoners heard.
"You just got done healing Hershel and need your rest! Now get up to our cell and take a nap or I'll tie you to the bed!" he said and Justin sighed and made to go up the steps when white tank stopped him.
"So you can cure this virus?" he asked with a evil smirk on his face which made us all tense. Justin slowly turned and looked towards us and just stood on the first step. White tank turned to me and gave me an evil smile.
"You want food, the cure comes with us to clear a cell block." he said and I shook my head.
"No, you heard Bri. Justin needs his rest." I said but Justin walked up to us and looked at white tank.
"Fine I'll come." he said and Daryl, Brian and I jumped in front of him.
"No!" we all screamed and he just smiled at us.
"Look guys we need food and to get them out of our hair. Me going is only giving our family members that go a better chance of coming back here." he said and he looked at Brian. "And when I get back I promise to take a nap. We'll take one together if you like." he said smirking at Brian who smirked himself and nodded.
"Fine, but you had better come back!" he said and Justin nodded and they kissed and I saw all the prisoners give a disgusted look at them and I inwardly groaned.
'We've gone MONTHS without a single homophobia prick comment. We've gotten used to it and really don't want it back.' I thought to myself as Brian went to go back to help the others and me, Daryl, T-dog and Justin lead the prisoners back to the cafeteria.
Daryl's POV:
"you call this a little food?" I asked as we all took in the large pile of food.
"Goes quick." white tank said and Justin and I snorted at the same time. I slapped Justin's back fondly and helped him pick up a bag of potatoes. "You can have a bag of corn, some fish-" white tried to say and Rick got in his face.
"I said half and that's what we're taking." he said and helped get some food.
Once we got our half, using another rolling table, we made to push it back to the group but white tank stopped us.
"Wait. That one stays with us here. You can come back once you've given your group the food." he said placing a hand on Justin's shoulder. I pointed my crossbow at them but Justin just shook his head.
"Get the food to the others. I'll be OK." he said and we all just stared at him before we nodded and Rick looked at white tank.
"We'll be back. If you so much as slap him I'll cut your head off." he threatened and turned to leave, but not before whispering something to Justin who nodded at him.
"Keep your guard up Sunshine. We'll be back in five minutes tops." I told him and he smiled at me and nodded.
"I'll be fine you guys. I promise." he said and we nodded and we all left towards the others.
"Where's Justin?" Brian asked after everyone got over their shock of all the food we now had.
"White tank wanted him to stay and he did." I said and Brian got a dangerous look on his face.
"Why did that fucker want him to stay behind?" Brian asked and I shrugged.
"Don't know Bri. I do know that Justin's tough and won't let those people take him down if they try anything." I told him and he sighed and looked at me.
"I'm coming with you." he said and Rick walked up behind me.
"No. I need you here in case something happens." Rick told him and he looked ready to argue but Rick beat him to it. "I know Justin's your love but you're needed here where you are." he said and Brian sighed and nodded and looked at me.
"You see anything or suspect something from any of them don't hesitate to put an arrow through their skulls." he said and I smirked and nodded at him and took Rick's hand as the ones that brought the food back towards where we left Justin at.
Justin's POV:
"So you can cure this virus or what the hell it is?" White tank asked and I just kept looking straight ahead and didn't answer. They had been trying to get info out of me since the moment the others had left. "You gonna answer me freak?!" he yelled and I still didn't answer him. "Why did you cut yourself early hmm? Is that how you heal people? Cut yourself and let your blood run over the wound?" he asked and I just turned my gaze to him and stared at him.
"Answer me dammit!" he yelled and went to punch me but he found himself pinned to the wall by a pissed Daryl.
"Didn't Rick tell you what would happen if you tried to hurt him?!" Daryl screamed and white tank just glared at him.
I sighed and walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked at me. "We need to focus on getting their cell block cleared so they can get out of our hair." I told him and he nodded at me and dropped white tank and walked back to Rick.
"Dar's right. I told you not to so much as slap him." Rick said and white tank just looked at him.
"Are we clearing out a cell block or not?" he asked and we glared at him and lead the way to the to the cell block.
When we got there Rick pointed at the door and looked at white tank.
"Open it." he said and threw the keys on the floor in front of him.
"I'm not opening that." he said and Rick glared at him.
"It's your cell block. Open it, but one door only. We have to keep this controlled." he said and white tank slowly walked up to the keys and walked to the door.
Rick's POV:
White tank looked back at us then tried to open the door and the fucker opened both. "I said one door!" I yelled as walkers came out.
"Shit happens!" he yelled and we all went about killing walkers. During the fight white tank swung and nearly hit me with his ax. We looked at each other and I saw in his eyes he meant to try and hit me.
Once the walkers were dead we all took a minute to catch our breath and I turned to white tank.
"Sorry about than man but you know-" he started and I smirked at him.
"Ya. Shit happens." I said and we stared at each other. Before anyone could do anything I swung my knife and sliced his head in half.
"I'll kill you for that you bastard!" one of the prisoners yelled and ran at me but Justin tripped him before he could get close and he stood up and took off into the now cleared cell block.
"I got him." I said and took off after him knowing the others would keep an eye on the rest of the prisoners.
I chased him until we got to a door that lead to the outside. He ran out first and stopped in the middle and I stopped just inside the gate and saw that walkers were everywhere. He turned back to the door and I closed it just before he could get back in.
"Let me in man please!" he begged and reach out to me.
"You better run." I said and his eyes widened and he turned and watched as walkers closed in on him. He took off running and screaming and I closed the main door and stood their until I couldn't hear him screaming anymore.
I walked back to the others and pointed my gun at the ugly facial hair guy. "Was this your plan from the beginning! Get us to help you only for you to kill us!" I yelled and he started crying and begging for his life. He was so pathetic that I lowered my gun and turned to the other two. "What about you two?" I asked and they just stared at me.
"We ain't begged for anything before, we're not about to start now." The shorter of the two said. I just stared at the before I sighed in frustration and pushed them all to the cell block.
"This is yours. You stay in this cell block and if I catch so much as a whiff of one of you I will kill you all." I said and they nodded and the rest of us headed back to the others.
Brian's POV:
"How's Hershel?" I asked Carol as I leaned on his cell door. She turned to me and sighed then went back to wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Justin healing him helped him a lot. He lost a lot of blood but I was able to close it before he completely bled out. He'll probably be asleep for awhile and very weak but he'll live." she said smiling at me and I smiled back then smiled at Hershel's girls who hadn't left his side once.
"Good work Carol. Thank you for saving him." I said and her smile grew and she shook her head.
"Justin's the one that cured him, I just closed the wound." she said and I smiled brightly at Justin's name. I looked over my shoulder and saw Amy sitting alone on the stairs staring into space.
"You guys keep taking care of him OK." I said and they nodded and I walked over to her and sat beside her. "You OK?" I asked and she jumped out of her skin and looked at me.
"Ya just thinking." she said and went back to looking at the wall. Ever since we learn of Andrea dying at the farm she's been in a sort of depression and has been known to get like this since then.
"Andrea would want you to be strong you know that right?" and she turned and glared at me.
"Fuck you!" she yelled and stormed off passed a smiling Debbie. I just stared at Deb in shock.
"The fuck did I do?" I asked and she laughed and shook her head.
"Leave comforting her to us women OK." she said and I just stared at her as she walked in the direction Amy went.
'Women.' I thought with a sigh and leaned back on the steps.
"So do you think those prisoners will leave us alone once they have a cell block cleared?" Carl asked and sat beside. I shrugged and looked towards our gate where Justin and the others would arrive at when they returned.
"Don't know. They were in here for a reason and I doubt they know how to keep a promise." I told him and he just nodded and looked at his hands.
"Carl come play with me! You two daddy!" Gus yelled holding the soccer ball that Linds grabbed as the farm was taken. Carl and I laughed and stood up just as Gus kicked the ball as hard as he could, which wasn't hard, to Carl. The three of us kicked the ball to each other for a few minutes when the cell block was opened. I looked up and that Rick and the others had come back.
I walked up and pulled Justin tightly into my arms and just held him. "You're seriously going to be the death of me one of these days." I whispered in his ear and he laughed into my shoulder. I looked at Rick and nodded at him and lead Justin towards our cell. "Come on, it's time for that nap you promised me." I said with my signature smirk which made him laugh.
"A nap sounds really good right now." he said and we lead down together and fell asleep holding each other.
