Behind Blue Eyes

A Long Day

I heard the bed creak, while I was slowly waking up. After that I felt someone crawl over me, but I couldn’t react yet. I felt someone’s hand caress my face and I felt a soft kiss on my forehead. I was finally able to open my eyes and I saw a blurry Daryl sitting on the edge of the bed putting on his shoes.

“Good morning” I said softly, my voice a bit hoarse. He looked at me and smiled.
“Morning” I sat up straight and leaned against his back. Placing one hand on his shoulder and wrapped my other arm around his waist.

“How did ya sleep?” he asked while he placed his hand on mine on his waist.
“I haven’t slept this good, since…. I don’t even remember” I said giggling and he chuckled.
“And you?” I asked. He turned his head and he looked at me while my head was resting on his shoulder.

“Pretty good.. even with all your moving around and the lack of space” he said with a grin.
“I’m sorry” I whispered while hiding my face behind my hair. He turned around and cupped my face after he pushed the hair out of my face.
“Don’t be” he said kissing me. He stood up and I looked at him with a smile.
“I’ll see you in a few” he said winking before he left the cell.

I sat on the edge of the bed and I couldn’t help but smile like an idiot. I tied my combat boots after deciding to keep my sweaty clothes on from yesterday, seeing as today was going to be a long one as well. I stood up and started to fasten my knives back on my legs. After grabbing my plaid shirt from the ground I walked out of the cell while putting the shirt on.

More people started to wake up and I saw Daryl on the perch grabbing his stuff.
“Someone looks happy” I looked in front of me and saw Rick standing in front of me with a smile on his face.
“Good morning to you too sheriff. I just had a good night sleep for a change.” His smile turned into a sly grin.
“That’s all?” he asked softly.
“That’s all” I said grinning back.



After a quick breakfast, Rick, Carol, T-Dogg, Daryl and I went outside to get the last parts of cleaning done. We all stood at the main entrance as Carol drove the Dodge on the yard, I looked around. The sun was already burning hot and I just knew it was going to be a long day.

“Okay, let’s get the other car in. We’ll park ‘em in the west entry of the yard” Rick ordered.
“Good, our vehicles camped out here look like a giant ‘vacancy’ sign” Daryl added.
“After that, we need to load up the corpses so we can burn ‘em” Rick said.
“Gonna be a long day” T added what I was thinking.
“Where’s Glenn and Maggie? We could use some help” Carol asked.

“Up in the guard tower” Daryl said while he pointed towards the tower.
“Guard tower? They were just up there last night” Rick added as we all turned towards the tower.
“Glenn! Maggie!” Daryl yelled. After a few moments a half dressed Glenn came out of the door.
“Hey, what’s up guys?” he yelled back.

“You coming?” Daryl asked and the rest started to laugh at the sight.
“What?” Glenn yelled back.
“You comin’?” and I couldn’t help but laugh as well when I saw the way Glenn was looking.
“Come on, we could use a hand!” I yelled at them.
“Yeah, we’ll be right down” I heard Glenn shout back. We started to walk to the main entrance again.

“Hey, Rick” T said and we all turned around and looked at the direction T was looking in. We saw the two inmates walking towards the fence.
“Come with me” Rick said as he was walking towards the inmates. We all followed him and I just hoped this was going to end well.
“That’s close enough” Rick said as we stood a couple of feet in front of the two.
“We had an agreement” Rick added.

“Please, mister. We know that, we made a deal. But you’ve gotta understand we can’t live in that place another minute. You follow me? All the bodies… people we knew. Blood, brains everywhere. There’s ghosts.” The blond said, which I believe his name was Axel.
While Axel was talking, Maggie and Glenn walked out of the tower and stood behind the inmates.

“Why don’t you move the bodies out?” Daryl asked.
“you should be burning them” T added.
“We tried, we did” Axel answered nervously.
“The fence is down on the far side of the prison. Every time we drag a body out, those things just line up. So hump in a body and just running back inside” Oscar added.
“Look, we had nothing to do with Thomas and Andrew. Nothing!” Axel starting pleading while taking a few steps towards us, well Rick mainly.

“You trying to prove a point? You proved it, bro. We’ll do whatever it takes to be part of your group. Just, please, please. Don’t make us live in that place” as I listened to his plead, I started to feel bad for those two. The way he described how it was to live there and not being able to properly get rid of the bodies of the people they knew sounded horrible.

“Our deal is not negotiable” Rick sternly said.
"I told you this was a waste of time. They ain’t no different than the pricks who shot up our boys” Oscar said while he looked at Axel briefly before turning his attention back to us.
“You know how many friends’ corpses we had to drag out this week? Just threw ‘em out like… These were good guys. Good guys who had our backs against the really bad dudes in the joint, like Thomas and Andrew.”

I really felt for them, it must have been hard. I knew it didn’t bother me as much to drag these walkers out, but that was probably because I didn’t know them.
“We’ve all made mistakes to get in here, chief. And I’m not gonna pretend to be a saint, but believe me we’ve paid our dues. Enough that we would rather hit that road than go back into that shithole.”

I saw Rick look behind him towards Daryl who was shaking his head. I actually believed those two, I couldn’t see why they couldn’t be assets to the group. They seemed sincere and there were no sign except for their prison attire why we couldn’t give them a chance.

Rick decided to lock the prisoners up at the main gate. We stood a couple feet away from them behind a prisoner transport truck that was on his side. I was looking at the two, not really paying attention to the conversation.

“Are you serious? You want them living in a cell next to you? They’ll just be waiting for a chance to grab our weapons. You want to go back to sleeping with one eye open?” Rick asked T-Dogg.
“I never stopped. Bring them into the fold. If we send them off packing, we might as well execute them ourselves” he responded.
“I don’t know. Axel seems a little unstable” Glenn said worried.

“After all we’ve been through? We fought so hard for all this, what if they decide to take it?” Carol added in the same worried tone.
“It’s just been us for so long. They’re strangers, I don’t… it feels weird all of a sudden to have these other people around” Maggie said.
“You brought us in” T simply stated and I was agreeing with him.
“Yeah, but you turned up with a shot boy in your arms. Didn’t give us a choice” Maggie replied.

“They can’t even kill walkers” Glenn said. I was getting a déjà vu from the discussion we had on the farm about Randall.
“They’re convicts, bottom line” Carol stated.
“Those two might actually have less blood on their hands than we do” T saying what I was thinking.

“I get guys like this. Hell, I grew up with them. They’re degenerates, but they ain’t psychos. I could have been with them just as easy as I am out here with you guys.” Daryl added, I was kinda relieved he felt that way.
“So are you with me?” T asked.
“Hell, no! Let ‘em take their chances out on the road.. Just like we did” and the relieve was gone.
“What I’m saying, Daryl…” T got interrupted by Rick.

“When I was a rookie, I arrested this kid. Wanted for stabbing his girlfriend. The kid blubbered like a baby during the interrogation, during the trial… Suckered the jury. He was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, and in 2 weeks later shot another girl.”
All of the sudden T’s eyes were on me.
“You’ve been awfully quit” after that everyone looked at me.
“Any thoughts?” Rick added. I got nervous after hearing everyone, not sure if my opinion mattered. “I stand with T, they could be an asset to the group. Not everyone in prison is violent, just like model citizens can be homicidal nutjobs. And when I look at those two, I don’t see bad guys. Oscar seems to me like your typical though guy, but not a bad one and Axel is just a real sensitive guy, who is scared to death by the world we live in right now.”
T looked relieved I was on his side, but the rest just looked at me if I was being serious. Rick shook his head.

“We’ve been through too much. Our deal with them stands” Rick and Daryl walked away first, the rest followed leaving me and T standing alone. We looked at each other for a second, but didn’t say a word before following the rest. As soon as we caught up to the rest of the group I heard Rick barking orders again.

“Move the cars to the upper yard point, them facing out. They’ll be out of the way, but ready to go if we ever need to bail” Carol, Maggie, Glenn and Daryl sped up towards the gate to get the last remaining vehicles.

“We’ll get the prisoners a week’s worth of supplies for the road” Rick said to me and T.
“They might not last a week” T said.
“It’s their choice” Rick replied.
“Did they really have one?” I asked.
“Hey, hey” Rick tried to stop us both from walking.

“Whose blood would you rather have on your hands? Maggie’s? Glenn’s? Daryl’s?” Rick was looking at me when he said the last name.
“Or theirs?”
“Neither” T simply answered before walking away. I looked at Rick and sighed.

“Do we really have to do this?” I pleaded.
“We have no other choice, a deal’s a deal. We can’t take the risk” I looked down and just shrugged.
“Can you gather the supplies for the prisoners? While the rest of us deal with the vehicles” I just nodded.
“Yeah.. sure.. whatever you want boss” I said turning around walking towards the prison.




I walked out of the prison carrying a box of supplies, I still wasn’t agreeing with the plan. Glenn was walking towards my way and he stopped in front of me.
“I’ll bring it to them. Get the rest of your gear, we are going out for firewood soon.” I just nodded.

“Meet us at the hole in the fence we came in” he said with a small smile.
“I’ll see you there” is said smiling back, even though I still didn’t believe we were doing the right thing with the inmates, but what Rick says, goes. I was lost in my own trail of thoughts when I was standing in my cell, gathering my remaining weapons.

After I fastened my kunai case to one of my belt loops I grabbed the quiver and slung it on my back. Grabbing my bow as the last thing and I walked out of the cell again. A smile grew wide on my face as I saw Hershel coming out of his cell walking on crutches.

“Looking good Hershel” I said with a smile. He looked at me with a smile.
“Do you want to take a rest?” Lori asked who was standing directly next to him ready to catch him if he fell.
“Rest? Let’s go for a little stroll” I let out a giggle when Hershel made that comment and I walked with him, Lori, Beth and Carl outside.

I went first, opening the doors for them. Lori was in front of Hershel and Beth and Carl behind him, to help him whenever he needed. It went slow, but steady and it was amazing to see him up again. I took a few steps back as I watch them slowly get down the small stairs. I looked to my left and saw T-Dogg, Maggie and Carol standing by the vehicles all smiling at Hershel walking again.
Hershel, Carl, Lori and Beth walked towards the fence, while Hershel was mainly looking around the property.

“All right, Hershel!!” I heard yelling from behind and I turned and saw Daryl, Glenn and Rick at the fence. I looked at the gate and saw that is was locked. I walked towards the cars wanting to ask if one of them had the keys so I could go out there. When all of the sudden I hear Carl yell

“Walkers! Look out!” I turned around and saw a group of walkers walking towards us. Everyone started shooting while Beth was leading her father to a safe place. It was chaos instantly and I was firing arrow after arrow trying to keep those bastards away from us.
“Lori! Here!” I heard Maggie scream form the left.
She was standing at the opening of our cell block.

“Kayleigh!” I heard Lori yell after she and Maggie got there. But sadly every way I had towards that door was cut off by walkers who were walking towards me and I had just fired my last arrow.
“Go!! I’ll manage!” I yell back, while I started running towards the cars, since they were closest to me.

I was glad they didn’t lock the cars and I got in to the first one as soon as I could. I felt someone holding the car door back as I tried to close it. The growls were close and I started kicking like a maniac to get that walker away from the door and my body. After a few good kicks the walker fell and I could close the door just in time since now five were surrounding the car and trying to get in.

My breath was out of control, but I felt a bit relieved I was safe for now. Between the walkers I could see T and Carol, but I couldn’t see if they were unharmed when they went through a door. I saw Hershel and Beth safe and sound behind the fence of a small staircase. I looked towards our cell block door and noticed Maggie, Lori and Carl were gone.

They were probably inside, I hoped. I looked towards my right and saw the 3 men running towards the gate, with the inmates close behind. I just hoped they were here before the walkers break down the car windows. I heard a small cracking noise and my eyes were immediately drawn towards the car window and I saw it was getting weaker.
My heart started to race and I held up my knife. As the crack in the window got bigger, my nerves got higher. I was ready to stab the mother fucker in the head when the window got painted in his blood and the walker went limp.

Just like the other four next to it and I saw Daryl standing with a bloody knife breathing heavy. I opened the door and without thinking in walked towards him and hugged him.
“Just in time like always” I said as I let him go.

He looked a bit shocked by my sudden reaction, but there was no time to talk about it. We both ran back towards Rick and Glenn and we four killed the last couple of walkers. After every walker dropped to the ground I started to gather my arrows as quickly as I could.
“Those chains didn’t break on their own. Someone took an axe or cutters to ‘em” Glenn said and I looked up at the boys.

Rick looked behind him at the inmates who were now standing at the gate.
“You think they did it?” Glenn asked.
“Who else?” Rick immediately answered.
“When would they have done this?!” I asked angrily, since I couldn’t see when Oscar and Axel would have done this today.

If they did this this morning when they walked up to us, we should have seen walkers sooner. Before Rick could answer me a loud noise started, like a siren.
“What’s that?” Rick asked and we looked around, hoping we could find the source of the sound.
“Oh! You gotta be kidding me!” Daryl yelled.

Rick threw the keys at Daryl, and started shooting at the speakers that were hanging on the walls. I looked towards the outer fences, worried about all the walkers this noise is going to attract, I really didn’t want to lose this place after all we’ve done for it. Rick ran towards the inmates and I ran after him. He pointed his gun at Oscar

“How the hell could this be happening?” he yelled angry.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! It has to be the backup generators.” Hopefully they knew where those generators were.
“Well, How do you turn those on?” Rick asked while pointing his gun at the speakers.

“There’s three that’s connected to a diesel tank, okay? Each one controls a certain part of the prison. The hatch shut them all off when the prison was overrun” Oscar answered. In the corner of my eyes I saw that Daryl was aiming his crossbow on the two. I looked back at the inmates and Rick, we needed to fix this soon and chances are we were going to need these guys to do it.
“Can someone open up the main gates electronically… with full power?” Rick asked stepped even closer to Oscar.

“I only went in a few days. I guess it might be possible” Rick grabbed Oscar’s shirt and started to drag him towards the C block entrance.
“Come with us!” he yelled.
“Let’s go!” Glenn yelled as we all ran towards the entrance.
I had my bow in my hand and a knife in another. As soon as we got in we started killing every walker in sight.

“Lori!! Carl!!” I heard Rick yell and we all went towards him and stood in front of our cells.
“We just took down five of ‘em in there” Daryl said as he was reloading his crossbow.
“There were four in here, but no sign of Lori or anyone” Rick said a bit worried.
“They must have been pushed back into the prison” Glenn stated, sounding a bit more hopeful than Rick.

“Somebody is playing games! We’ll split up and look for the others” Rick said while walking out of this room towards the halls of the rest of the prison.
“Whoever gets to the generators first, shut ‘em down!!” Rick yelled as we all ran towards the hall. Rick, Daryl and Oscar went left, and I decided to go right with Glenn and Axel.



We were running and running, I just hoped we, or the others, would find those damn generators soon. We all killed a few walkers and we were now standing, needing to make a choice soon.. Left or right.

“Which way is it Axel?” I asked losing my patience a bit, thanks to those stupid siren’s and hearing walker sounds all around us.
“Left” he finally said

“Good.. let’s..” I turned around midsentence hearing growls coming way to close.
“Shit” this group was a lot bigger and I wasn’t sure if we could take care of them without getting hurt and find the generators in time.
“Come on Kayleigh” I heard Glenn, but I already had another plan.
“Go! I’ll distract them and go the other way” I said walking closer to the walkers and started yelling at them.

“Are you crazy!?” he yelled while grabbing my arm.
“Yep! Just go!! I’ll be fine. I’m fast. GO!!!!” I yelled pushing him towards Axel who grabbed Glenn by the arm and they were gone. I started to skip backwards
“Come one uglies!! Come and get me!” I kept yelling while going right. It might be a real stupid idea, I was thinking while running since I had no idea where I was going. But it was too late now…

I just hoped I wouldn’t get cornered by these things..

if that happened..
I would be screwed.
