Your p.o.v.

I run to my cell block and immediately want to cry. The others are dragging out bodddies to burn them.

I jog over to my cell and see that they have taken my brother and mom away. I resist the urge to faint or throw up. I grab my backpack and begin to throw my stuff in it. I can't stay, I have nothing left here. Carl can get along fine without me, he can date Lizzie or Beth.

I hear the curtain move behind me and don't look up, I keep grabbing stuff out of the little Buzz Light year tub that holds my cloths.

"Hey!" it's Carl. I can tell by his voice. Tears continue to roll down my face. "You can't leave! Whats wrong? " he says and rushes over to me. He grabs my elbows and spins me around to look at him. I struggle to get out of his grip but he won't let go. I look into his pleading eyes.

"Carl, don't try to make me stay, or ask if I'm okay. I don't have the answer." I reply as another tear falls.

Carl loosenes his grip and I pull away. "Then I'm going with you." His face is like a stone. Emotionless.

"No you're not!" I snarl and grab my bag. He blocks the door and I try to push past him.

"How are you gonna get out? The gate is gaurded and it's in the middle of the day."

"I'll find a way." I push past him but he grabs my wrist.

"Middle of the day."

I set my bag down. "Fine, I'll wait till night."

"Gate?"

"I'll figure something out."

"Me?"

"I'll knock you out if I have to." I threaten.

"Not happening sweet heart. I'm not letting you out of my sight."

I sigh and put my bag back in my cell. I'm getting out and he can't stop me. Rick passes by and I take the opportunity. "Rick, do you need anybody to keep watch tonight with Uncle Daryl?" Rick gives me the weirdest look.

" I understand your Uncle wanting to keep watch, he's a tough man. But you just lost your mom and brother. I can't expect you to keep watch. You need time to grieve."

I glance at Carl who looks like he's won the game. Too bad, I know how to escape my Uncle. "Well, I grieve a little different. Like my Uncle I hunt when I'm grieving. My uncle and I can hunt. We're already low on food." I can just as easily escape while on a hunt, "accidentally" get separated and take off in the opposite direction.

"I'll ask Daryl, it's already hard on him that he's on body duty so I guess that's good."
I walk back into my cell and ignore the bed. I reach under the bed and pull out my bow and sheath of arrows. Uncle Daryl found them on a run and brought 'em back. I used to have one at the beginning of this thing but it got stolen.

Rick reappers at my cell door and tells me that my Uncle agreed to go.

I meet him outside and we head out the gates. Once we're in the forest we agree to split up. With my bag on my back (I told my Uncle that it was a knife, gun, and lunch. ) I headed the opposite direction of the prison.

Ten minutes into my trek I hear a twig snap. I immediately notch an arrow and swing around towards the noise. I look for signs of a walker but don't hear any growls. For a moment I think it's an animal, until I see the familiar brown hat peeking from the side of the tree.
"Carl!" I whisper yell. He steps out and puts his hat back on his head.

"I told you I was going with you." He smiled.

" how'd you get out?!"

"I told dad that Daryl said I could go with you guys to learn to hunt."

"Well I'm not going back. So you can go right on back there and live life. "

"What? While you die out here? No way! I'm coming with you!"

I hear growls and another twig snap. We're close to the road so I don't think much about it. But then a hoard of walkers surrounds us.

"Run!" I yell to Carl and fire my arrows at the Walkers, hitting them in the head. "I'll hold them off! Run!"

"And leave you here? Hell no!" Carl exclaimed as he stabbed a walker in the head with his knife. He had his gun in his hollister but continued to stab them. Soon I began to run out of arrows and grab for my gun, but Carl grabbed my hand And dragged me through an opening in the hoard. Walkers tore at our clothes and tried to grab us. We ran towards the road and I could finally see the trees thinning out.

We dodged a few stray Walkers. I felt something grab my foot and pull me out of Carl's grasp. I fall down hard and hit my chin on the ground. I see stars but shake them away and try to free my foot from the Walkers grasp. Carl stabs it in the head before it's teeth make contact with my leg. My boot fell off in the struggle and I shove it back on my foot.

We continue to run till we reach the road. Its getting dark and we need to find shelter.

"I think there's a cabin here somewhere. I remember seeing a glimps of it on one of the runs. We can stay there and then head back to the prison tomorrow. "

"What makes you think I want to go back?" I question.

"The fact that we almost died." He states.

"You can go back, but I'm not. I have nothing there."

"You have me! And your Uncle! And everyone who lives there!" Anger builds up in his eyes.

"Fine! We'll go back! Okay? Happy now?" I throw my hands up in defeat.

He just nods his head and starts walking across the road. I follow him as he reenters the woods and walks along the tree line. I'm not going back. I'll run again. I don't care if I die right now.

After about half an hour of walking we finally make it to this cabin. The sun has dissapered behind the trees and a soft orange peeks out from the tops.

We make sure it's clear before we settle in. I start a fire in the fireplace and take off my shoes.

There's only one bed so Carl and I just stand there awkwardly.

"Umm.... I'll take the couch?" I offer.

"Nah, we can just sleep on opposite sides I guess, make a pillow wall in the middle?"

"Not enough pillows." There were only two.

"Well girly, it looks like we're sharing a bed. I think our relationship goals are flying by." He pulls down the sheets and hops in. I roll my eyes and crawl under the sheets. I close my eyes, willing sleep to take me.

I'm halfway asleep when I feel an arm snake around my waist. Carl's breath tickles my neck. "I love you (Y/N). Please don't leave." He whispers and then kisses my cheek. I scooch closer to him and we both fall asleep.
