Haven (on hold)

"That's sweet, thanks Olly.." I said softly.

We were interrupted by a sudden scream echoing through the prison. We got out of the cell quickly, meeting the rest. "What was that?" Beth asked. "That was from in here." Oliver said looking at them. "Was that Carol?" Carl asked. "She's out keepin' watch in the guard tower with Axel." Hershel said looking Carl. "What if they came back in for somethin'? What if they're in trouble?" Beth asked, starting to worry. Carl started loading up his gun. "Let's check the tower, see if she's there." Hershel said. I went over to the cell and grabbed my machete then checked my ammo. "How could anyone else get in?" Beth asked.

Oliver checked his ammo too, "The tombs are filled with walkers that wandered in from outside. Someone else could have done the same thing." Hershel said. "Beth, let's go check the tower." I said. She stood up and so did Carl. "I'm going to check it out." He said. Hershel extended his crutch, keeping them from going any further. "No." I said looking at Carl. "I can't let you go down there." Hershel said. He looked at him then over at me. "Dad would go and you know it." He said. "Fine, then i'll go. You check the tower with Beth." I said looking at Beth. She nodded. "I'll go with you." Oliver said. I nodded, "Aurora-"

I cut Carl off. "No." I said walking to the door. He rushed past Hershel and caught up to me. "Aurora I can-" I cut him off again. "No Carl. Either I go with Oliver or we don't go at all. Pick." I said as the screams of the woman continued to echo through the prison. He looked at me annoyed and shook his head as Oliver went to go grab some flashlights for us. "I'll check the tower.." He said. "Yeah." I said and unlocked the gate. "Olly!" I called out, He tossed me a flashlight and caught up with me, Closing the gate behind him. I locked it and we headed down to the tombs.

We turned on our flashlights and started making our way down the tombs.

Oliver and I led a group of 4 people up to the safe part of the cell block. They lost one of their own, a woman who was bit. They were about to put her down before she turned into a walker. I grabbed Oliver's hand and pulled him back into the Cell Block. I closed the door and locked it. Carl and Beth walked up to us.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The woman asked walking up to the door. I pulled out the keys and held them. "Did you just lock us in here?" The other man asked standing next to the woman. We backed up slightly away from the door. "Open the door." The woman said holding the shovel she was using to kill walkers.

"This room is secure. You'll be safe. You have food and water." Carl said looking at her. She came to the door completely and looked at us, putting a hand on a bar. "Open this door." She said looking at me. I shook my head, "I can't do that.." I said softly. "Cmon man. We're not animals. Don't do this." She said looking at Oliver. She looked back and I looked over to see Hershel. "Hey!" She hit the door, making it rattle. I looked back at her quickly, startled by the sudden loud noise.

"You can't just leave us in here! Open this door! Open it! Now!" She yelled hitting the door again. The man walked up to her and put a hand on her arm, pulling her away. "Sasha! Back away from the door and let them go. Look around you. This is the best we've had in weeks. Their house. We got other things to do." He said calming her down.

He looked over at us. "We don't want any trouble." He said and pulled her away from the door completely.
