Chapter 16
Carl's p.o.v
I wake up with my arm across the sheets. (Y/N) is not there.
I jump up quickly and run outside. She can't have gone far. Panic rises in me. "Damn it (Y/N)!" I scream at no one in particular. I run back inside and grab my gun and shoes. I rumage through the cabinets and find a can of beans. On he table lays a note and a bottle of water.
Carl,
You don't know how hard it is to see you sleeping so peacefully and not being able to kiss you one last time. Please, please, please don't look for me. Go back to the prison and live your life without me. Lizzie really likes you and I can tell Beth did too before she got with Zach. The bottle of water should last you till you get back. I'm so very sorry Carl.
I love you.
(Y/N)
I didn't realize I was crying till a tear fell on the paper. Carl Grimes crying? No way! I wipe it away and shove the letter in the pocket of the flannel I was wearing. I grab the bottle of water and run out the door. I stand on the front porch of the cabin, deciding where to go. Luckily the ground was still soft and I could see faint foot prints.
I jump over the railing and run in the direction that the foot prints are in. They lead to the edge of the forest, but pick up in the mossy creek.
I follow them along the creek, the hot sun beating down on me. I still have above half a bottle of water but don't dare to drink until I need to.
Eventually the tracks come to an open field. Some of the grass is bent downwards. I go to get a closer look and immediately my heart stops.
Tire tracks.
Someone took her.
I run in the direction of the tire tracks and almost trip over something. A body. It was a walker and he had an arrow in his head, I don't have to guess who that was.
The tracks lead to the road. Which way do I go now?
I didn't have much time to decide before a car comes heading towards me. I jump into the cover of the bushes and wait for it to pass. But instead it stops.
"I swear I saw someone run back into the woods, and Biters can't run man." A tall thick man looks around and I pray that he doesn't see me. Do I fight? Do I run?
I feel hands grab me and pull me to my feet. I yell out of surprise and end up kicking my capturer in the balls. He drops me and I try to run but he grabs me by my collar. "Martinez! I found this kid! Is this Cal's running Biter?" He calls out to the Hispanic man with dark hair.
"Who do we have here?" He walks over and grabs my shirt collar while the thicker man and my capturer confiscate my gun and knife. "Are you the new sheriff in town kid?"
I spit in his face. He slaps me hard in the face and wipes his face with his shirt.
"Martinez, he ain't got no bag, he must be from the prison." Says the thick guy.
"The Governer will want to interrogate him. Put him in the car. "
The Governer! No,no,no! I start to kick and punch wildly, not caring who I hit in the process. The guy holding me punches me in the ear and pins my hands behind my back. My hearing is taken over by a ringing noise and I shake my head to clear it out.
They shove me in the back seat and hop in the front while tough guy sits in the back with me.
We drive in silence until we reach the gates of what I assume is Woodburry.
The car stops in the very back of the camp behind a building with busted out windows. They drag me out of the car and shove me towards the building.
"Touch me again and I swear I'll claw your eyes out and throw you to the walkers." I spit at them.
Martinez laughed."kinda hard kid when we have you tied to a chair." He shoved me again and I gave him the evil eye.
Tough guy unlocks the door leading into the building. I can hear screaming coming from one of the rooms.
It's a short hallway with three doors. One door opens and I peak in.
"(Y/N)!" I yell. She's tied to a dentist like chair and has blood all over her. "What have you done to her!" I yell. They try to shove me forward but I lunge for the door. The Governer comes out the door and smiles at me. Tough guy grabs my arms and holds them together.
"Look what we have here," the Governer walks towards me. "Two kids from the prison. The Sheriff's son and the hunters daughter."
"It's his niece!" I struggle away from the rough hands but they grip my arms tighter.
The Governer smiles at me, with his eye patch it makes him look even more evil.
"Put him in there with her. They can both be toutured. Together." They toss me into the room and lock the door from the outside.
I rush over to an uncouncious (Y/N). Her face is swollen and covered in blood. There are cuts on her chest, just above the shirt collar.
"Damn it (Y/N)! Why didn't you just come back with me?" I scold as I wipe her face with my sleeve. she begins to turn her head away as she comes to. Her eyes shoot open.
"No! Please no!" She shouts. I place my hands on her cheeks and try to make her stay still.
"It's me (Y/N)! It's Carl!" I desperately try to calm her down. She stops struggling and tries to I guess hug me but can't since her hands are handcuffed to the chair.
Her eyes widen again. She spits out blood onto the concrete floor. "Carl!" She slurs. "You're not supposed to be here! You're supposed to be at the prison!"
"I know. I couldn't go back without you though. What would your Uncle think of me? " Tears make trails along her blood stained face. The door opens behind us and a man walks in with a key in his hand. He unlocks (Y/N)'s hands from the handcuffs and then punches her in the face.
I jump on him. "Don't touch her!" I yell and punch him in the face. He stumbles back and then punches me in the gut. He takes a nother swing at (Y/N) and knocks her out. He kicks me to the floor and then walks out. Two men and the Governer enter the room.
"Now boy, you're gonna talk," The Governer pulls me up by my elbow. He then walks over to (Y/N) and pulls her to her feet. She isn't fully conscious and falls to the ground again. He Yanks her up and holds her by her hair. His hand goes to his pocket and he pulls out a pocket knife opening it. "Other wise she gets it." He holds the knife up to her throat.
