Glenn had to help Sasha and Hershel do something. I walked by them "I hear by declare we have a spaghetti Tuesday every Wednesday" I laughed slightly coughing after "first we have to find some spaghetti, lots of it" I said as Hershel smiled. Hershel turned to Sasha "you okay to take over?" He asked, Sasha nodded "every five to six seconds, squeeze. You start to feel lightheaded, grab somebody else to take over. We'll take it in shifts." He turned to Glenn "wanna help go on my rounds?" He asked "yeah. Sure." Glenn said getting up "can I-" "no y/n." Glenn said quickly "how long will that keep him alive?" He asked turning to Hershel "as long as we're willing to do it, as long as it takes." He replied before they both walked away. I didn't want to fall asleep, I fear if I fell asleep I'd die and I don't want Glenn to be the one to find me, I didn't want to leave Carl with no friends, I didn't want to leave my sister to have high hopes of me coming to her only to grow up thinking I forgot about her or just didn't want to see her. I wasn't afraid of dying, I was afraid of leaving the ones I care about behind. I was afraid of breaking my promise to Lori, to Cole, to everyone. I couldn't let anyone die, I couldn't die otherwise others wouldn't be under my protection. Things would go downhill, Carl cannot suffer that fate, my friends, my family cannot suffer that pain.

"We'll make it, just go to sleep I'll make sure your gonna be okay" I whispered to Keith "but-" I cut him off "no buts, go to sleep. I've already slept" technically wasn't a lie "f-fine." He stuttered laying his head down on my lap and closing his eyes "thank you y/n" he whispered "everything's gonna be okay." I whispered back and smiled as he fell asleep.

Keith came over to me "carl's back, he wants to talk to you with his dad." I nodded and walked over to the door. I paused before opening it and walking through. I only saw Carl, he smiled when he saw me walk through but I looked at him confused. I walked over to the glass "how are you holding up?" He asked leaning forward slightly towards the glass "I'm doing good-" "but Keith said you could barely talk yesterday" he cut me off "just because I had a dry throat, don't worry Carl, worry about Judith." I had to lie to make sure he wouldn't worry "y/n. Your gonna be okay, but you have to be honest and trust those around you. You have to communicate with me, please. how are you?" He said stern but an underlying of begging to be let in "I'm fine. Go take care of the other kids, I promise I'll be okay. I'll do my best to find you when this is all done." I smiled. We kept talking until Hershel told me to go to my cell.

I closed my eyes, the sound of my cell closing was the last I heard.
[=~~~~~~~~~~~~=]

I looked around, plain beige walls with blood stains on the bottom and hand prints around "y/n?" A voice echoed from behind me. I felt goosebumps throughout my body as I turned around, Carl stood there his back turned to me but something was off. His clothes were all dirty, bloodied, ripped, his skin was pale. I took a step closer the sound of my boot softly hitting the ground echoing through the empty room, he turned around quickly. My eyes widened as I stared at him his right cheek was gone and revealing his teeth and gums. There were bite marks throughout his body, blood all over him, his jaw was cut and his eyes were red, puffy, glossy, and there were small tear marks dripping down his once vibrant cheeks. He started stumble over to me groaning and growling with every step "Carl?" I called out taking another step forward hesitantly, I only got another growl in response "Carl.." my heart felt like it was shattering. I felt dizzy, my eyes felt like they were burning, my blinking became really slow. After what seemed like another blink I shout up from the bed only to be pushed back down my Hershel holding a knife, my eyes widened as I looked around "where's Carl?" I asked "is Carl okay?" I pushed his hands off of me as I got up from the bed only to feel dizzy "y/n?" Glenn called out "answer my questions! Is Carl okay?" I asked again "y/n you were just dead a second ago, lay down." Glenn said a bit surprised at how fast I got up "is. Carl. Okay?" I repeated turning to Hershel "he's fine." Hershel answered "lay back down." He ordered pointing to my bed "no. I feel fine, let me help today" I said "no. Get some rest. You nearly died choking on your own blood. You shouldn't have even woken up." Hershel said a bit annoyed, I nodded and laid back down knowing he wouldn't leave me alone until I did.

A gunshot awoke me once more, I got up and picked up one of my swords. I walked out to see walkers biting people, I brought my sword down on one of them "y/n!" I didn't look up. I picked it up and brought it back down on the walker. I turned around to find another walker, it jumped onto me tackling me down. I kept pushing it off from ontop of me I yelled out in frustration as it kept trying to bite me, some of the other walkers turned to me. My eyes widened as it got closer to my face biting on the air between us as one of the other walkers stumbled over. The image of a dead Carl ran across my mind again, I couldn't let him turn, that meant I had to kill the walkers. I turned my attention away from the approaching walkers to the walker on top of me, I put my arm under its neck and switched us around so I was on top of it slightly straddling it as it squirmed and growled. I brought the tip of my sword onto its head before shoving it down into it and pulling it back out. I stood up turning to the other walkers, I swung the sword lodging it into its head sideways. Another growl was heard from behind me, I tried to get the sword out of the dead walkers head. I pressed my foot on its chest and pulled until I pulled too hard, I stumbled backwards into the walkers chest. I quickly moved forward only for it to grab my upper arm and pull on me, I turned around slightly and stabbed it in between its eyes. I heard gunshots from outside and rattling from upstairs. I kept swinging at the walkers until another one grabbed onto me, I screamed out of fear as it had surprised me. I turned around and pushed it back, I heard a gunshot and the walker fell to the ground with blood spewing out of a new gunshot wound. I sighed and took a few steps away before turning my attention to the other walkers. 'If I can't save everyone I care for then, who am I, what is my purpose, why am I too weak?' I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a shout from upstairs "he's turning blue!" I heard Maggie's voice. I ran upstairs to see Hershel putting something in Glenn's throat "Glenn.." I whispered as I walked forward and sat on my knees beside him "stay with us." Hershel repeated as his gasping continued then halted. I stared at glenn scared "you're gonna be okay, we're gonna be okay" Maggie said to Glenn "I didn't want you in here." Hershel said looking at Maggie "I know. I had to. Just like you." She said looking up at Hershel. Hershel rose his hand up and caressed Maggie's cheek. Maggie looked at me "is he going to be okay?" I asked, Maggie nodded as a smile formed and tears rolled down my face taking the blood onto the floor from my cheeks with them. Lizzie walked over "I told you to stay put." Hershel said looking at her "is it over?" She asked "I hope so, honey." Maggie answered. I stood up and held my arms open, Lizzie hugged me "your gonna be fine, everything gonna be okay. The others will come back with the medicine and things are gonna be okay" I assured her. She walked backwards out of the hug "thank you n/n" I smiled. After a moment Keith crossed my mind, I looked at Hershel "hey, where's Keith?" I asked "he shared a cell with Henry.." Hershel whispered "so?" I looked at him confused "he.." he looked at the floor where all the walker bodies were. I walked down and inspected them. the one who grabbed my upper arm, the last one killed, was Keith. Tears started to form "no no no no" I repeated as I ran over and kneeled down beside him. The bullet hole piercing right in between his eyes and through the bridge of his nose.

Lizzie came up to me "Carl's here" she said stopping at the cell door "I-I don't wanna talk right now" I replied "alright.. I'll tell him" she said before walking away. I stared at the wall blankly before tears started falling again "are you okay sweetheart?" I turned to the door again and saw Maggie, I shook my head as she walked over and sat on the bed beside me. She hugged me as I cried "I told him things were gonna be okay, I- he was supposed to make it, I couldn't protect him.." I said in between sobs "I know honey, I know but things don't always work out" she rubbed my back "they should've, just this one time" I said shaking my head slightly as Maggie did her best to comfort me.
