I woke up early with Carl beside me in the bed. I remembered our conversation last night. It broke my heart to know he had to make so many adult decisions. I slowly removed Carl's arm, which was draped over my stomach. I cautiously got up, making sure that I wouldn't wake him. Rick said something about going out on a run, so I imagined that Carol was the only one up. I crept out of my cell and peeked around the corner. Sure enough, Carol was up, tending to Judith.

"Morning," I yawned.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Rick went on a run, but he'll be back soon." she said quietly.

"Alright. Do we have any breakfast?" I asked hopefully.

"I think we have some energy bars. Could you keep an eye on Judy while I go check?"

I nodded and took Judith from her. She grabbed her hunting knife and went to find said energy bars. I heard the shuffling of feet echoing from the direction of the cells. I knew the sound all too well. I wielded a knife in one hand and held Judy with the other. I crept, slowly and stealthily, towards the sound. I peeked my head around the corner and found myself face to face with Carl. I gasped and fell on my ass. I dropped the knife and clutched Judy so she wouldn't fall. I looked up at Carl. He had a foreign expression on his face. I started to giggle.

"I thought you were a walker," I giggled.

He stepped out further. His arm was covered in blood. I gasped and grabbed his sleeve. I pushed it up. Bloody teeth marks appeared.

"No... no. It can't... you're not..."

I was panicking. Hot tears spilled down my face.

"It was Chandler. He was at our cell door. I opened it to try and stab him, but he got me before I could."

I gripped his arm and brought him to the main room. Judy started to cry.

"Shh... it's alright.." I murmured.

Carol entered the room.

"I didn't find any energy bars but.." she stopped.

"He was bitten."

She ran towards me and took Judy from me.

"Go to your cell and tie him to the bed," she ordered.

I grabbed handcuff Rick used for Herschel and led him to our cell.

"Just kill me already."

"You know I can't do that," I protested.

I forced him down on the bed and chained him to a post.

"You'll have to. Carol couldn't do it. I'll be dead by the time Dad gets back. You're the only one who can do this, Mia."

I started to sob. I realized he was right. I grabbed the gun from my holster. I aimed at his head.

"I love you."

The sound shattered the silence and rang in my ears. I looked at him and sobbed.
