A/N: So yesterday was the best day of my life. Chandler Riggs replied to me, Hana Hayes (his girlfriend) replied and she followed me on Instagram.

Natalie

I had a dreamless sleep. I woke up quite early and I instinctively put my hand up to my head. It was still throbbing but the pain had died down. I looked around the room. The three acquaintances were on the floor and I felt ashamed that I was on the couch. I looked at Carl who was next to Rick but I had no memories of us except of last night. The first thing that I had heard him say was when he told me about my parents. My mom. I pinched myself to see if this was all real because I was actually living my worst nightmare. I wake up with no memories, everybody I know is dead and there's a freaking zombie apocalypse? And it sure can't help that the person who claims to be my best friend through thick and thin whom I don't remember is so uncomfortably attractive. Why was it that I was just his friend? I mean, if it was us right now and I had the chance to befriend him I would totally skip the friend zone.

Rick stirred in his sleep mumbling a name and that woke Michonne up. I swung my legs over the side of the couch and stood up. She glanced at me briefly and said "What's up Nat?"

I gave her a confused look and she said "Oh right. I forgot you have amnesia. How's that coming along?"

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt" I said "I need to use the washroom, be back in a minute" I went to walk towards it and I heard her say "Be careful" I just nodded and went straight ahead. I looked around the place, there seemed to be no doors leading to where I wanted to go. Of course there was the door I had opened last night but I tried very hard to shake that memory out of my head.

Finally I saw an unmarked door. I swung it open and stepped inside. I stepped up to the mirror and looked at myself. I looked horrible. I had dark circles under my eyes and I was so pale. I stared into my eyes and tried to figure out what all this meant. It didn't work; instead it seemed like the room started spinning. I clutched the sink to stop myself from falling as I lost my balance. I heard a low moan and I glanced up in the mirror. There was a person behind me. A person who looked sick. She had blood smeared on her and her jaw wasn't there. I felt sick in the stomach. What was she? She made an unnatural sound. I could form only one clear thought as I slowly turned to look at her.

Walker.

Then just on cue, I felt myself slowly lose consciousness and before I could scream for help everything went black.

CARL

I sat up and asked Michonne immediately "Where's Natalie?"

"Ladies room" She said.

"What?" I cried and shot straight up. I ran towards that room. How could Michonne let her go alone? We hadn't cleared that part of the shop yet.

"Natalie!" I yelled and ran through the hallway looking for the washroom. Where was it? Then I spotted it. I heard a moan and I felt my heart stop. Why hadn't Natalie called for help? I ran into the door and the lock broke away. I stumbled upon an unconscious Natalie and a walker making her way to her. I took out my knife and ran to it, slamming it into her skull. The walker collapsed and I went to Natalie.

I shook her. She was very pale and her bandage was bleeding.

"Natalie, wake up, please" I begged and shook her. Michonne came running and said "What happened Carl?"

"There was a walker; we hadn't cleared this part yet. She fainted I don't know how" I said and picked up Natalie. I put her head in my lap so it wouldn't hurt her. I stroked her hair and said "She's lost too much blood; we need to do a transfusion"

"How will we do that, Carl?" Michonne asked.

"I don't know!" I yelled at her "We need to do it soon or she won't survive"

"Carl" I heard. It was dad.

"What's wrong?" He asked me.

"Natalie won't wake up" I said.

"Wait" He said and handed me a water bottle "Pour it on her head" I nodded and slowly dripped the cold water upon her forehead.

I leaned down to her and whispered in her ear "Natalie, please wake up" I stayed like that for a long time before dad told me to carry Natalie back to the couch. When we got back to the shop entrance we saw about 20 walkers pounding on the glass door.

"Oh shit" I muttered "We need to get out of here"

"What about Natalie" Michonne asked.

"I'll carry her" Dad said and lifted her up in his arms.

"No, I will. She's my friend, I can take care of her" I told him.

"Carl, you can't carry her. Let me" He said.

"Dad…" I started to say but Michonne interrupted me "We don't have time for this, Rick let's go" We hurried towards the back door after grabbing all our supplies and arrived at a train track. We followed it for a while. Natalie hadn't even stirred in her sleep. I was getting worried. If she didn't get medical attention soon, she would die. The farther we travelled, the more I lost hope. How would we heal Natalie?

I then glanced at the train car in front of us and as if on cue of my wish, I saw the sign.

SANTUARY FOR ALL

COMMUNITY FOR ALL

THOSE WHO ARRIVE SURVIVE
