CARL:

Carl felt cold and weak. He tried to move his body but he can't seem to do it. He tried to control his body by piece. He tried to turn his head, raise his hand, curl his toes, and even lift himself up but he just couldn't seem to do it. Carl was having signs of panic but he knows that panic is not a good idea on his situation. He tried to calm down, just like he does when in trouble. As a child he grew with panic in is being and that made him running away from danger but his experiences made him calm and that made him learn how to fight danger despite he was very young. He calmed himself down and tried to feel every part of his body. He felt every part of his body was numb except for one part, his eyes. He could feel his eyelids can be moved and the force of his eyeballs touching the eyelids. Slowly, Carl opened his eyes and was shocked to see what was in his surroundings. He was right back at the altar room of terminus. Then Carl heard a voice of a girl, giggling somewhere. He wanted to speak and ask who it was but his mouth felt like it was glued together and can't even do a single movement to it. He heard the giggle again but this time, it was like he heard like it was mixed with insanity. The giggle became louder until it became a laugh so odd that it was maniacal. The laughter was near him now and a face appeared above Carl. It was that of a girl that had ash brown hair and had alluring green eyes. Upon closer look, it was Lizzie's face. But Carl was sensing something wrong. Lizzie had a twisted look in her face, a smile that gave Carl the chills, and her eyes were filled with madness that had a mix of malice to it. Lizzie started to laugh and Carl realized that she was the one giggling and laughing. Carl wanted to ask help from Lizzie but his ut told him that she was not a good source of help in his situation. Then Lizzie pulled out a knife from behind her. The knife had rust and bloodstains. Lizzie raised up her knife, pointing it to Carl's heart. Lizzie then kept on laughing and she looked like she was insane. Carl tried to save himself and he tried to speak and tell her to stop but his body couldn't budge. Lizzie raised her knife higher, reading it to plunge the young sheriff's heart. Carl couldn't do anything, even screaming and calling for help was no use. With one scary laugh to be heard and one quick stab in his left chest to finally get him

"Carl? Carl?! Wake up! Come on!"

Carl shot up in a seated position. He was breathing hard on he felt tired. Carl looked around and saw that he was in a completely different place. Carl felt a hand touch his wrist and found that it was Lizzie.

"What happened Carl? You were screaming and tossing around…..I think you had a nightmare" Lizzie asked

"I think it was a nightmare…." Carl said slowly

"What happened there? You can tell me right?"

Carl was glad that it was all a dream but still, he felt uneasy with Lizzie after he had that dream. It was Lizzie's face but the presence is that of a demon.

"I just….had a dream that I was being eaten by walkers…."

Lizzie looked at him oddly but hugged him tightly. Carl wants to be 100% honest with Lizzie but he didn't want to mention his nightmare to her. It involved her and it was in a horrible picture. Carl knew that Lizzie would somehow freak out if he told her and knowing her, freaking out is no for Lizzie.

"Please don't go away like that Carl…"

"I won't…I'm still here"

"Last night I thought you were a goner"

"It's just a leg wound…"

"But still….any wound can kill you at this time…"

Lizzie was right. There is no mercy in this world, not since everything started. He held her close to him and et her head rest in his chest. He knew some degree about how love feels but that was just it. He was just too young at this time and maybe when they grow older, he'll understand love's true colors and he wants to do it with Lizzie.

Carl heard footsteps coming from the doorway and out came Kiana and Rose with some medical supplies and a basin of water.

"Hey, how come only Lizzie gets a hug? I want a hug too" Rose said with a pout.

"Now Rose, they're enjoying each other's company" Kiana said with a smile

Carl and Lizzie blushed and realized that they were indeed very close to each other but Kiana is one of the few who knew of him and Lizzie's relationship but she isn't a gossip like most girls are and he appreciates that. For him, Michonne is the only adult who should know about their relationship. Kiana and Rose were there to treat Carl's leg wound. Lizzie parted with Carl and the sisters did what they had to do. When they applied medicine, Carl winced at the sting he felt. Lizzie had a worried expression in her face but Carl smiled at her, a reassurance that he was okay. Carl didn't remember that Kiana and Rose were very good at handling in terms of medical stuff. They said that Carol was the one who taught them how. It was a fact that Carol was good with medical stuff even though she wasn't a doctor. She was second to the skills of Herschel. After they treated his wound, Kiana and Rose made they're way out, having playful smiles on their places that Carl couldn't pick up what it meant.

"Do they always smile like that?" Carl asked

"No idea" Lizzie said in agreement.

Carl looked at Lizzie. She was truly beautiful. What Carl liked the most was her eyes. The alluring, green eyes that when he sees, he just felt at peace. He remembered when he first saw them. They were marvelous to look at and they were a perfect fit for Lizzie's beautiful face.

"What are you looking at?" Lizzie asked

"What?"

"You have that goofy look on your face again" Lizzie said with a soft laugh

"Oh…um…I just find you uh…"

"Find me what?"

"Beautiful…"

Carl saw Lizzie blush and it made him smile. She was cute when she blushes.

"Um….wanna go for some fresh air?" Lizzie said shyly

Carl nodded. Carl carefully stood up, careful not to put too much pressure on his wounded foot.

"Can you walk with that?" Lizzie said pointing to Carl's foot.

"Yeah….I'm okay"

Lizzie supported Carl while walking, having one of Carl's arm around her. Carl felt good about this. Being with Lizzie somehow made the pain ease to the point that he doesn't notice it. They were outside now and by the way the sun is out, it was still morning. The soft, summer breeze was very calming and both of them enjoyed it. The woods around them were producing songs of nature coming from different sounds of every known creature that can exist in the forest. Carl wished that this moment didn't end soon.

"What's that?" Carl said pointing the gathering of people up ahead

"It looks like its your dad and Carol" Lizzie said

Both of them went closer and indeed it was his dad, Carol and the rest of the adults. Rick turned to look at his son, who smiled at him.

"You're feet feeling better?" Rick asked

"Yeah dad. It hurts a little but I'm okay" Carl replied

"Well Lizzie was up all night watching and looking after you. Of course, she always falls asleep" Michonne said, with a slight sternness in her voice. Carl knows that this is a sign that she was till distrustful to Lizzie. He always wondered why there was still a reason for her to suspect something bad from Lizzie. Carl looked at Lizzie, who was still supporting him and she just smiled and blushed.

"Wait…what are you guys doing here?" Carl asked

"A good question Carl…..we're planning something" Rick said

"What plan?"

"A rescue mission…" Daryl said
