You awake to the sound of clinking chains and your brother calling your name. You groan and turn over. You were angry at your brother for causing a scene and making you guys look like bad people. They were at the edge of kicking your brother out, and if he went so did you.
"Crystal!", he calls.
"What do you want?", you demand.
"Help me out please, just find the key."
"No. They said they were going to keep you in those until you learn your lesson.", you reply. You grab your clothes out of the chest and other belongings.
"I'm going to take a shower.", you say walking out of the cell. You walk down the hallway, opposite from the cafeteria and towards the restrooms. You were glad that this place had water, you haven't taken a shower in forever. You walk into the restroom and go to the nearest shower. You turn the faucet on and warm water pours out. You strip of your clothes and lay them next to your towel. You step into the water and the warm water hits your skin, making you relax. It felt good. The water falls on your body, and you push your hair back, letting the water fall on your face.
You get out of the shower, feeling fresh, and wrap your towel around your body. Carl, walks through the door and stops. His face turns bright red. He walks in and all he sees is you, with nothing but a towel on.
"Um, sorry.", he says scratching his head staring at you, then your body.
"It's, okay.", you say bending over to grab your clothes, still holding onto your towel. Your face was bright and red also. Carl continues to stare.
"Carl? Are y-you alright?", you ask embarassed. Carl, looks up at you like hes seen a ghost.
"Oh, yeah sorry,I'll just go.", he says walking out the door. Your heart was beating really fast, and it was not calming down. You were so embarrased but, at the same time, you kind of liked it. No one has ever stared at you like the way Carl just did.
After getting dressed, you walk back into your cell. Brent wasn't in there anymore, he mustv'e gone out, maybe with Beth. You laugh at the thought of Brent, trying to flirt with Beth, you also thought it was kind've cute, if they were together. You put your wet hair up in a ponytail and go in the cafeteria. No one was in there. That was strange, usually Carol, or Beth and the baby were there. You went outside, and were shocked.
There was a bus, loaded up with people from the prison. People were running trying to get onto the bus. All around you could hear gun shot, after gun shot. What was going on? You ran aound the bus and saw Maggie and Beth crying their eyes out. You look through the fences and see a tall man, near a tank with an eyepatch on the right eye. He was holding Michonne's Katana and sliced right through an older mans head. He was probably Maggie and Beth's father. everyone starts to shoot like mad. Blood was flying everywhere. Michonne, next to the older man rolls behind the trucks, hiding and trying to get free of her tied up hands. Brent! You forgot about Brent, that he was handcuffed. You run from place to place trying not to get spotted, in search for your brother. Boom! A tank fires, destroying one of the watch towers. You see to the left of you, Carl and Daryl shooting. Rick was out there on the field shooting also. Boom, the tanks fires again. They drive foward, knocking the fences over. Walkers start to pour in, making their way towards the prison. You look around and can't find Brent anywhere. The tank and other trucks get closer to the prison destroying everything in its path.
You hide behind a flipped over table and watch what is going on around you. You had to find Brent, you had to. Maybe he was already on the bus. You ran from your hiding place and ran to where the bus was at. It was gone! You look towards the gates and see it taking off and driving into the trees, you watched it until it was completely gone. Now what're you going to do. You lost your brother and everyone was under attack. Daryl runs by and throws something down the tanks barrel. You watch him run off. Boom! As soon as you realize, you are blown away from the explosion, causing you to hit the wall of the prison. You fall to the ground. You look in front of you and the tank is on fire. You couldn't hear anything, just a loud ringing noise. Your ears hurt and you were pretty sure you broke your leg. From the distance you see the man with the eyepatch choking someone. It was Rick! You could see Rick struggling to get free and then all of a sudden, Michonne stabs her Katana right through the man with the eyepatch. She pulls it out of him and he drops to the ground.
You thought you were going to die. You were going to die, no doubt. A walker starts towards you, fast. The walker's arm was blown off and its clothes were shredded. You tried to stand up but you were to weak to move, from your broken leg. You thought you were going to be shred to pieces from the walker. Tears rolled down your cheeks as you struggled to stand up. Your leg hurt so badly. The walker was getting closer. So close, it grabs your arm. You scream and blood splatters everywhere. You scream in pain and the walker falls to the ground. You had killed it, before it had bit you. You looked down at your leg, it was a little purple and really swollen. You limped to find someone. You didn't see anyone, and inside of the prison was full of walkers by now so there was no reason to go in there. They must have all left while the explosion went off. You were too busy by your worried thoughts that you tripped and fell. You hold back your screams and groan in pain. You had tripped over Judith's carseat. You flip it over and see it's all bloody, oh no. Did the walkers get to her? What is Rick going to think, Carl? You felt sad about the thought of Carl losing his only sister from Walkers.
You don't have any supplies. You don't have Brent either, no one to protect you. No one. They either left, or they are dead. All you have is your knife, and a broken leg. Hopefully, you can find someone from the group, or maybe your brother. Your brother is your first priority right now, so you went with that. You limped out of fthe prison, killing any walkers near you.
. . .
You lean against a tree. You were tired and hungry and had been walking for about an hour trying to find supplies. All you found was a bandage, you had wrapped around your leg. It helped a little bit, with the swelling, but not much. It has been a month since the incident at the prison. You haven't found anyone. Nobody to talk to and to protect. You wondered where the others were. Hopefully Rick and Carl were with Judith. They probably found everyone and just forgot about you. You never felt like you belonged there, like you were just some stranger like the people in the other cell blocks. You felt like you were intruding and always getting in peoples way. You felt like no one liked you, not even Carl. Why do you keep thinking about Carl? Why? You thought about him the entire time you've been alone and its not like you liked him or anything... damn it.
Did you like Carl? You weren't sure, but thats the only thing you've thought about. Carl this Carl that. When you guys saw each other for the first time, you knew he didn't like you. But what about that time he saved you from that guy that tried to do things to you, or when he walked in on you when all you had on was that towel? He stared at you for awhile. Maybe he did like you. Maybe its just that thing were boys get all excited because some random girl does something they don't normally do. Maybe he just thinks of you as a normal girl. You didn't want him to, you wanted him to think more of you. Not as a friend, but, something more...no you couldn't. You couldn't like Carl. But then again, why does he have to have those good looks. That way he smiles when he's happy. Does he smile when he's around you? You never noticed, he probably always frowned when he saw you, but maybe not.
Not to long later, you walk, into a small neighborhood. It was pretty decent, no walkers in sight. Maybe you could rest in one of the houses over night. Then, you are pushed to the ground, hitting your head hard. Everything became blurry. A walker was on top of you. You tried to shove it away by kicking it with your feet. You were dizzy and couldn't really tell where it was. You tried stabbing it multiple times, but missed. Just then you see a blade go right through its skull. Blood oozing from its wound. It drips onto your face. You push it off and stand up. You are really dizzy and are about to fall over when somebody catches you.
"Brent?", you call, your vision still blurry.
"No, it's Carl."
