"Were gonna have to separate the people who have been exposed." Carol said as we all sat down together after cellblock D had been attacked.
"That's that whole cell block that's all of us" Daryl said.
"It can be lethal we don't know how it spreads" Hershel said. "We need to find out the symptoms"
"We have the children where are we going to put the people exposed?" Carol asked.
"Cell block A?" Sasha asked.
"Death row? Not sure that's much of an improvement." Glenn said rubbing his face.
"Its clean" Daryl said back.
"We'll figure it out. Do you know of anyone else who has been feeling sick?" Hershel asked.
Before anyone answered we heard coughing from outside causing all of us to get up.
It was Karen and Tyrese. Karen was the one coughing and Tyrese was taking her back to his cell. After Hershel explained the danger of her being there Karen and Tyrese left.
"I'm gonna start burying the dead" Daryl said.
"Wear a mask and gloves" Hershel said before walking off.
"Want some help?" I asked.
"Nah go on back to the cell." Daryl said giving my back a small rub. I nodded and walked away.
Normally I would help and even fought Daryl to help but not after what happened in D. We lost a lot of people. I felt my eyes fill with tears. Matthew had lived in cellblock D. I had found his body with his throat missing and blood covering his walls. I nearly broke down at the sight of it. After making sure that he wouldn't turn I had left to go find Kate only to see that she too was dead. It hurt. Kate had been 2 months pregnant. She had come to me asking for a pregnancy test about a month ago. We only had one at the time. It was a joy to find out. I mean we were supposed to be safe here.
I walked into the cellblock and went straight for my cell. It had become a home for Daryl and I. The walls were covered in my art work and we had a small queen bed that Daryl and I slept on. Our bedsheets were a simple mossy green. Though I had begged for the dark purple set Daryl didn't budge even when I pointed out that the purple looked almost black. But he said he knew was purple and he wasn't going to sleep in purple sheets.
I took my shirt off the was covered in blood and threw it into the small hamper we had. It was starting to get full. Normally I made sure it never got how it was now but it been a hard week.
I pulled on a black long sleeve before grabbing the hamper and heading toward where we washed clothes. I was scrubbing and from where I was I could see Daryl digging. I sighed and hug the clothes up to dry before walking over to him. I handed him the bottle of water I had with him and he took a long drink before handing it back to me.
"You ok?" I asked.
"Yeah just sick of losing people" he said leaning against the fence.
"Me too" I said
"Matthew was in there." I said
"I know." Daryl said back. "How ya holding up?"
"I'll be ok" I said. "Is it bad that I'm getting used to losing people?"
"Yeah. Death should never be easy." He said.
"Your right" I said before reaching through the fence and grabbing his hand.
"I'm gonna go check on Hershel see if he needs any help. I'll see you at dinner" I said. Daryl nodded before letting me hand go.
I was getting ready to walk off when Maggie started yelling our names. We both ran toward the fence only to see it start bending under the weight of the walkers piling up against it. I grabbed a cane that had a pointed end to it that was used for fence duty. Running forward with Daryl, Maggie, Rick, Tyrese, and Glenn we started to stab the walkers through the holes in the fence. We were at this for about 5 mins when the fence started to cave in.
"Get the middle!" Maggie yelled. We all ran forward frantically trying to stop the walkers but it was no use.
"Its gonna fall!" Rick yelled as we all ran forward again and this time pushed against the fence trying to hold it up.
Once the fence started to bend more I was yanked back and everyone else went back as well.
We all just looked on in despair as we watched the fence slowly start to collapse.
"Daryl" Rick said causing all of us to turn and look at him. "Get the truck. I know what to do"
