Condemned. Sequel to 'Don't Look Back'

Chapter 10

The girl at the top is Kaylee.

Rayne's pov

During the middle of the night, the church doors opened and closed, either someone came in, or someone went out. I stayed still, trying to make sure no one had come in. I heard no footsteps and sat up, seeing Rick, Sasha, Bob and Tyreese were all gone from their spot. Daryl and Carol were gone too, nobody had seen them since last evening, and you could tell it was bothering my mom.

There was nothing I could do about it, and everyone else was asleep. I laid back down, and drifted back off.

It could've been hours later, but Carl shook me awake.

"Rayne, come on, everyone else is up." He said and I sat up, and rubbed my eyes free of sleep.

We sat in one of the pews, my head resting on his shoulder. Kaylee came up to me and sat down.

"Rayne, can I ask you something?" She asked and I turned towards her.

"Anything."

"Well, I know it's none of my business, but, ever since we got out of Terminus, Dean hasn't been acting the same. I asked him what was up, and all he said was, even in the apocalypse he couldn't keep a girlfriend. Does that have anything to do with you, because I know that back at Terminus you two-"

"Kaylee, just stop right there. Dean and I had something. Had being the key word. I was trying to move on, I thought Carl was dead, but now that I know he isn't, Dean and I are no more. Ok?" I told her and she nodded.

"Ok, I just wasn't sure what was going on."

"Nothing is going on between us, we called it off the first night out. So, he's all yours." I said and her eyes grew wide.

"What?"

"You heard me, he's all yours, so go have fun, but don't have too much fun." I winked and she blushed so hard that even in the dim candlelight I could see it. She left and Carl looked at me, emotionless.

"Dean?" He asked me and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"No, nothing is happening between us, I mean, back at Terminus we had something, but, not anymore. You're the only one I have eyes for. And I mean that." I said and his face softened.

"I just don't like the thought of you being with someone else." He said and I nodded.

"I know, so let's put this behind us." I said and he agreed. I put my head back on his shoulder and he put his arm around my shoulders. Everyone was quiet, trying to wake up.

Sasha and the rest walked into the church not long after that. Sasha walked up to Gabriel and told him to stop.

"What are you doing?" She asked him "This is all connected." She accused and Gabriel looked slightly terrified.

"You show up, we're being watched, and now three of us are gone."

"I-I don't, I don't have anything to do with this." Gabriel stammered. Sasha pulled a knife and I sat up straight.

"Put it down!" A bunch of people yelled, but didn't take away her knife.

"What did you do?" Sasha demanded to know. Gabriel was being cornered.

"Where are our people?" She yelled. Rick pushed her back and approached Gabriel, who was sweating like a hooker in church.

"Why'd you bring us here?" Rick calmly asked.

"You working with someone?" Gabriel stammered and stuttered, looking for an answer.

"I'm alone, I'm alone, I've always been alone." He came up with.
