Long Lost (A Carl Grimes/Walking Dead Fan fiction)

Chapter 16

Alex's POV

My eyes widen as I frantically try to give Judith to Beth.

"Here here I need to go!" I yell and Judith starts to cry. I kiss her forehead and grab my weapons. I follow Daryl to Cell Block D and clearly, chaos has erupted. There is blood all over the ground and walkers try to devour the newest members of the prison.

I whip out my pistol and shoot a walker that is about to take a bite out of a little curly haired boy. The walker crumples to the ground, blood pouring out of it's head. The little boy starts to sob violently and runs to me. He hugs my legs and I scoop him up in my arms.

"Hey you're ok. I got you." I whisper to him. He nods and buries his head into the crook of my neck. I take off to our cell block and set the boy down next to Carol.

"Take care of him please?" I say, panting. She nods and I begin to run off but someone grabs my arm. It's the boy. He has tears in his eyes.

"You will be back right?" I nod my head, slightly smiling. I crouch down to his level and he attacks me in a hug.

"I have to go save your people now ok?" I say sweetly. He nods and pushes me towards the door. I run as fast as my feet can carry me to Cell Block D and burst in the door.

First thing I see is a walker trying to get at Carl.

(Hey lol I know how to get your attention! Well this chapter isn't over, I was just wondering... Do you guys know how to make trailers for stories? Cuz if you do can you message me? If you make one for this story I will totally love you FOREVER and I will even include it in this story. On the side of course. If you guys don't know how to do that, that's cool too! I will still love you! Ok resume reading)

I sprint over to it and lodge my knife into it's brain. I run and tackle Carl in a hug.

"I love you babe." I say. His eyes sparkle and he smiles at me. I return the gesture and turn around.

I start running but I bump smack into another walker. It knocks me down and falls on top of me. My knife slides out of my reach as I struggle to get the thing off me. I manage to keep it far enough so it can't bite me, but I'm struggling. If I let up any, it will bite me.

Just as I am getting tired, a knife stabs the walker and it falls limp on top of me. I frown in disgust and shove it off me. I look up and see a boy, with brown hair and mysterious gray eyes. He smiles weakly and reaches his hand out to help me up.

I grab it and he pulls me up.

"Thanks. You saved my life. It means a lot. I'm Alex" I say and smile.

"Anytime. I'm Jake. It looks like we are all done with the killing." He says, laughing lightly. He seems nice. I continue smiling at him.

"Well, since you saved my life that automatically makes you my friend." I say, laughing along with him.

"Sounds good to me!" He says, shrugging. I feel an arm wrap around my waist and my head snaps to look behind me. I catch a glimpse of Carl's hat and automatically relax. He pecks me on the lips and I smile into the kiss. I look back over at Jake and he has another girl by the waist. She has stick straight blonde hair and green eyes. I smile and wave at her and she does the same.

"Hey! I'm Vanessa." She says with a cheery voice. "But you can call me Nessa." I nod.

"Well, let's head on back." I say and start to walk to our cell block. But Carl has other plans. He picks me up bridal style and starts running. I throw my head back laughing and let him carry me.

We burst into the cell block, laughing our asses off at some joke that Jake told. Carl seems to like Jake, and I'm glad. After what happened with Evan I wasn't sure if Carl would ever like a guy our age anymore. Vanessa seems nice too. I can tell we are going to be really good friends.

I squeeze my eyes shut, tears falling out from laughing so hard. Suddenly I bump into someone. I open my eyes, calming down to see Rick.

"Who is this?" He points to a laughing Jake and Nessa.

"Jake and Vanessa. They are really nice. Jake saved my life." Rick looks at them with a suspicious look, then nods slowly.

"You think they are trustworthy?" He asks. I nod and smile.

"Ok. But they will stay in a locked cell. So will the only other 3 survivors." He said. My eyes widen.

"There were only 5 survivors?!" I ask. "We started with like 20 or more people!" Rick chuckles lightly.

"There are other cell blocks Alex." I sigh in relief.

"Big Girl!" A little voice yells. I look over to see the little boy I saved earlier running towards me. I bend down and he attacks me in a hug.

"You were right! You did come back!" He says happily. I giggle loudly.

"Yes I did!" I say and start to tickle him. He laughs uncontrollably, squirming. I look over at a smiling Carl and smile back at him. I pick up the little boy and walk over to Carl.

"You are great with kids." Carl says as the little boy put his head on my shoulder. "You would be a great mother someday." He walks away as I blush. The little boy picks up his head and starts to laugh.

"You're blushing!" He says and I set him down and ruffle his hair.

"By the way. My name is Joseph and I'm 6 years old." He says flashing me a toothy grin.

"I'm Alex and I'm 15! Nice to meet you Joseph! We will be the best of friends." I say and wink at him playfully. He giggles and wanders off. I chuckle at his retreating figure and go to find Carl.
