Chapter 15
Cara's POV
I couldn't move or talk as Daryl carried me towards the rest of the group. It was as if my mother screaming for my sister through me into a trance. It was like I was in a coma, but I was awake. I knew what was going on around, I just couldn't communicate with them.
My eyes flickered as Glenn rushed towards Daryl and I. Panic was evident on his face, as he spoke, "What the hell happened to her?" His gentle nervous voice was replaced with a worried and demanding one.
Daryl scoffed, glaring at Glenn. "Don't gotta glue. We heard Carol scream for Sophia and Cara clasped. It was some weird shit."
Glenn glared back at him, "Let's put her in the RV." Glenn led Daryl to the RV, but was stopped by Andrea and Dale pulling out a dead body.
They dumped the walker on the road and turned to face us. Dale was the first of the duo to notice my condition. He hurried forward. "What is wrong with her? Was she bitten?"
Daryl growled, cradling me to his chest. "Do ya think I'da be holdin' her this close, if she'd been beaten? She fell into some type of shock, after Sophia." I groaned, banging my head against his chest.
He tightened his grip on me and asked Dale, if it was safe enough to take me into the RV. He nodded, saying that only one walker got in and to watch out for the blood. I closed my eyes as Daryl carried me into the RV. I didn't want to look at the blood, because it made me think about Sophia and what could happen to her.
Daryl laid me down gently, softly brushing my dark hair out of my face. The worry lines in his forehead were very prominent, which made my heart race. He sat down on the edge of the mattress, gripping my hand.
"Rick is gonna find her, kid. Ya'll get ya twin back. I promise." His voice was raspy and broken. I could see tears forming in the corner of his eyes. Unknowingly, tears feel down my reddening cheeks. He leaned forward and kissed my forehead, surprising both of us.
He stood up quickly and left the RV. I was alone with only my thoughts to keep me company. It felt like an eternity before the screen door opened and heavy footsteps made their way to my bed side. I looked up and noticed Rick's guilty face standing above me.
He squatted down next to me and said, "I lost her." A sob echoed through my tiny chest.
He started to panic. Raising his hands to try to stop the tears, Rick whispered, "I found her, but there were too many walkers. I had to hide her, so that I could take them out. When I went to get her, she wasn't there. Something must've scared her, because she wasn't there. We are gonna go looking for her, Cara. And we are gonna find her."
Tears started to fall from both eyes, causing him to squeeze my hand. He used his free hand to brush my hair back, trying to comfort me. He jumped as the RV door got thrown open and someone rushed in. He sighed and turned to face me again.
"I'm sorry, Cara." He said, softly. He got up and, like Daryl, left the RV. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see whoever was walking up to me. The footsteps were soft and slow.
The person grabbed my hand and sat down on the bed. I noticed that hand was small and soft. Carl. He didn't say anything, all he did was sit there and hold my hand. Noticing my body shaking, Carl laid down next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He held me, letting me cry. The RV was silent, minus the sound of my choking sobs. Carl laid his down on my shoulder, burying his nose in my neck.
With soft authority, Carl mumbled, "I gonna find her, Cara. I am gonna save her."

Hey!
I know this chapter is super short, but I was having a hard time writing. It's been like a month or so, since I updated and I feel a little guilty. I've been wanting to update but I've been so busy with classes that I haven't been able to write much. I'm taking six classes and they all require projects, presentations, and papers. I feel like I am slowly losing my mind.
Cara is in a semi-comatose state, because something is wrong with Sophia. I wanted to make them share amount, sort of, without Cara going after her. Did you like the last scene with Carl? What do you think will happen? Will Cara get back to normal before Carl gets shot or after? Feedback, please!
