One shot about my favourite character on Walking Dead.
Her First night Alone
Carol had been driving for hours, and it was getting dark, and she realized she needed to get somewhere safe for the night. She didn't want to leave the safety of the car but she knew if she didn't her first night alone would be her last. She kept driving, and the first place she felt might be safe she would stop. She drove another 15 minutes when she saw a farm house. She drove up to it, and was glad she didn't see any walkers or anyone else for that matter. She got out of the car, and decided to make sure the house was empty and safe of walkers. She went inside, and was looking around she didn't hear any movement she walked upstairs, and opened up all the bedrooms, and realized she was alone. She walked back downstairs, and walked to the car, and got her bag, and her sleeping bag, and walked into the house, and locked it. She never felt more alone as she did at this moment. She slide down the door, and sat holding her bag close as she started to cry. She hated thinking this but she would rather have Ed here with her than being all alone. She hated Rick she could understand him being angry but he was a coward she would have more respect for him if he shot her in the head, and ended it but no he pushed her out of the group knowing her chance of survival was slim, and as long as he gave her the car, and some gas, and some food that would last maybe 2 days made what he did all right. He said she changed but they all have changed, and she would do anything for the group, and she hated killing Karen and David that day. She walked into the cell, and Karen was choking on her own blood. Carol rolled her over, and held her as she felt her head she was burning up, and shaking so bad. She was bleeding from her nose, eyes, and ears, and Carol knew there was no saving her she hated what she did as she shut her eyes, and stabbed her in the head as she whispered.
"Forgive me Karen" She sat there for a few minutes when she heard a noise coming from the other cell. It was David he was making the most horrid noise as his whole body shook as his eyes rolled back. Carol was still shaken from just killing Karen as she looked at David, and his breathing was so shallow it was going to be minutes before he was gone. Carol did what she knew was right, and ended it. She knew she dragged them outside and she burned them so this horrid disease would end with them. She walked to the bathroom, and she walked over to the shower, and stood under it , and let the cold water hit her making her shiver. She turned off the shower, and changed into some clean clothes, and walked to her cell, and sat up all night just staring at the wall going over what she did in her head. She knew she would never ever forget what she did but in her heart she knew what she did was right. They were suffering, and there was so many others to think about, and they would not survive they were going to die anyway. She hated that she killed them, and others got sick anyway. She knew she deserved to pay for what she did but how could Rick leave her all alone knowing she would do anything for him, and his children. Carol knew there was only one thing she could do, and that was she had to end this nightmare for herself. She opened her bag Rick put a small hand gun in her bag. He didn't put 6 bullets in the gun, she had to laugh did he think that would help her. She looked at the gun her hand was shaking so bad as she raised the gun to her temple. She so wanted to be with Sophia, and hold her again, but she was so afraid she would not do it right, and turn into a Walker. She wanted to scream she was such a coward why couldn't she end it. She laid down in front of the door as she laid on the blanket, and shut her eyes still holding her gun. She started to drift off asleep when she heard a voice, and she sat up staring as she saw a man walking toward her.
"Daryl"
"No it isn't Daryl "
Carol froze she had to be dreaming as Ed walked over, and knelt down looking at her.
"You are dead you are not real" She shut her eyes but opened them, and he was still there.
"You will wake up, and think this is all a dream but it isn't. Yes I am dead, and I am sorry I hurt you but stop feeling sorry for yourself, and deal with what your going through. You got through the crap I did to you, you survived the loss of our sweet girl. She is doing fine she couldn't visit but someday she will. I didn't want her to see her Mom this way"
"You are in Heaven oh God you should have went to Hell"
"Ouch I didn't murder anyone girl not like you"
"Shut up"
"I am going to leave but you have changed Rick is right but that jerk doesn't even deserve to be a Leader. You are a better leader than him, and you are not a murderer you stopped their suffering, and they are fine they don't blame you"
"Oh my God stop please shut up"
"Go back to the Prison, and demand to speak to the group, and go be with the man you have fallen in love with"
"What"?
"Daryl you fool "
Carol shut her eyes, and started to cry as she put her hands over her ears, "This isn't happening" She put her hands down after a few minutes, and Ed was gone. She was shaking did she see him or is she going crazy? She needed Daryl, and she wanted to drive back to the Prison but Rick wouldn't allow it. She laid down trying to sleep, and after a hour she drifted off. The next morning she woke up, and looked around. Did she dream last night or did her dead husband come to her? She got up and walked down the hall to the bathroom. She hated there was no running water. She needed a shower she felt so gross but she laughed she went to the bathroom anyway knowing she could not flush. She grabbed her bag, and left the house and was walking to the car. She scanned the land just to make sure there was no walkers. She got in the car, and put her hand on the steering wheel, and she remembered what Ed said. She still didn't know if his Ghost came or was it a dream she was aiming toward thinking it was a dream. She hated herself for doing it but she was going to do what Ed said to do just this one last time. She was going back to the prison, and if Rick doesn't let her in at least she could say goodbye to the only person she has left in this world she truly loved with all her heart. She needed to at least say goodbye to Daryl, and hope at least he forgives her for what she thought was right for the Group, and for what she knows until the day she dies she will never forget how she took the lives of her two friends on that dreaded night that she went there to care for them.
