The gate opened and i pressed Carl closer to me.
There was this bright white light
Dad "Come on! come on!"
We all rushed inside.
Dad, Shane and Daryl held their guns/crossbow up.
I looked around.
There was a voice "Hello?"
Glenn aimed at the man in front of us.
The man aimed a shotgun at us "Anybody infected?"
Dad "one of our group was. He didn't make it."
Man "Why are you here? What do you want?"
Dad "A chance"
Man "That's asking for a lot these days"
Dad sighed "i know"
The man looked at us.
Man "You have to do a blood test first. That's the price for permission to enter."
Dad nodded "We can do that"
Man "You also need to bring your stuff in right now. Once these doors are closed they stay closed"
The guys ran out and brought our stuff inside.
Then he closed the doors.
Daryl brought in my bag.
I walked over to him, surprised "Thank you"
Daryl nodded and gave it to me. Then i saw something on his back that looked like my knife holder. But it was dark so it could've been anything.
We walked into an elevator and it went down.
The door opened and we walked out of the lift. We walked through a corridor.
Carol "Are we underground?"
Dr. Jenner "Why? Are you claustrophobic?"
Carol shrugged nervously "a little"
Dr. Jenner "Try not to think about it"
We walked into a big room/hall.
Dr. Jenner "V.I., turn on the light in this room"
The lights went on.
Doc "Welcome to zone 5."
Dad looked around "Where is everybody?"
Doc "Just me. It's just me here"
I looked around and it looked like a lab.
Mom "What about the person you were speaking with?"
Andrea "V.I.?"
Doc. "V.I., say Hallo to our guests"
V.I. "Welcome. Hello, Guests. "
Doc. "I'm all that's left. I'm sorry."
Then he walked into a room. One by one. He was taking our blood.
My turn.
I walked into the room and sat down.
I took a deep breath "Let's get this over with"
Then I stretched my arm out. He put the needle in my vein. I saw my blood in the syringe.
Dr. Jenner took the needle out of my arm "Thank you"
Me "your welcome"
I stood up and walked out.
Daryl walked past me in.
--
We were all sitting at a table. Everyone, not including the kids, was drinking wine. We all were eating and it was good.
I was going to drink but my dad gave me a look.
I giggled "What? "

Dad raised an eyebrow, amused "You and alcohol?"
Me "We both know I've never had a problem with alcohol. "
I downed my drink.
Carl "I want some too"
Mom glared at me "What a good role model you are, Ken"
I raised an eyebrow at her and looked pissed " Better than his original one"
Mom warned "Kendall"
Dad "Let him have some wine."
Me "Dale! Give my bro some wine. "
They all laughed at my reaction.
Carl took a sip from it and grimaced.
We all laughed.
I giggled, took his glass and poured his wine in my glass.
Mom "That's my boy. That's my boy"
Daryl pointed at Glenn "now you, Glenn"
I turned to Daryl with a happy face "I wanna see that"
He smirked at me.
Daryl smirked "Keep drinking, little man. I wanna see how red your face can get"
We laughed.
Then dad stood up.
It became silent.
Dad "It seems like we haven't thanked our host properly"
T-Dog raised his glass "he is more than just our host. "
We all "Yeah!"
Daryl "Buhja!"
I laughed and downed my drink.
Mom eyed me "You should keep your drinking under control, sweetie"
I raised an eyebrow at her "Says who?"
Mom sighed, whispering "Not here. Not now"
I raised an eyebrow "aren't you proud of what you did? Why try and hide it?"
Mom snapped "That's enough, Kendall Michelle Grimes"
I smirked, grimacing "ugh, the full name"
The others were too distracted to notice our 'conversation'.
I got up "Doc, where are we going to sleep?"
I looked around but everyone looked at Shane.
He was provoking my Dad.
Me "Shane!"
He looked at me.
Me "Come on, man. We had a crappy day. Give us at least this night a time out. "
He eyed me "take it slow with the alc"
Me "Come on, show many times have you and Dad seen me at the police station? hm?. I can control it"
Shane thought about it „four times a week. "
I shook my head "That wasn't my fault. Jason and his friends were bad. "
Shane rolled his eyes.
i groaned out annoyed "you're such a buzzkill"
We grabbed our stuff and followed the Doc through a corridor.
Doc "Couches are comfortable, but there are beds in the storage, if you want. There's a room down the hall that kids might enjoy. Just don't plug in the video games. Some on the shower. Be careful with the hot water."
Then he walked away.
Glenn looked happy and shocked at T-Dog "Hot water?"
T grinned "that's what the man said"
Everyone chose a room. I chose a room for myself.

I put the bag on the table and closed the door.
Then i went to shower.
--
I walked back into the room and put some underwear, a pair of jeans and a tank top on.
Then I walked out to the corridor and into an empty room.
I saw a crossbow on the table and groaned annoyed.
Daryl's room.
I went to walk away when something caught my eye.
My knives were on the table.
I grabbed one of them and twirled it between my fingers "hey, baby"
Suddenly I heard the door close and jumped a little.
Then I turned around and saw Daryl with a bottle J.D. in his hand.
I put the knife down "I thought i dropped them in Atlanta"
Daryl nodded "You did. I picked them up"
He was a bit drunk.
I nodded "Thank you"
Daryl "Anytime, princess "
I tried to walk past him out but he blocked my way. I looked down so he couldn't see in my face.
There was a slight bruise on my cheek from mom.
I shook my head, sighing "i am not in the mood for an argument, Daryl"
Daryl shook his head "neither am i"
I let out a deep breath "What do you want, Daryl?"
Daryl "I saw it, ya know?"
I looked up to him, confused " saw what?"
Daryl "She slapped you. "
I shrugged "you happy she did it? you think i deserve it after what i did to your brother?"
Daryl shook his head "no. no one should go through that"
I shook my head, scoffing while driving a hand through my hair "Why do you even care to tell me? You hate me."
Daryl shook his head "I don't hate you, princess. "
Me "I left your brother to die. You have all the right to hate me"
Daryl took a sip of the bottle, shaking his head "Nah, still don't hate you"
I took the bottle out of his hand and took a long sip of it.
Daryl eyed me "never thought a girl like you could drink so much"
Me "I did it all. Alcohol, Drugs."
Daryl asked surprised "drugs? You're a cop's daughter"
I shrugged, nodding "Never said I was proud about the drugs."
Then i handed him the bottle " Thank you for the blades, D. "
Daryl "no problem"
I tried walked out but he blocked my way.
We were standing close.
I whispered "Dar-"
Suddenly he pulled me in for a hard kiss.
I kissed him back.
You know what? We are in Hell, so i'm going to have fun!
I took his shirt off and he mine.
He looked at my chest.
I smirked "Eyes up here, Dix"
He smirked and kissed me again "Jump"
I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I broke the kiss to catch some air.
He chuckled and then he took my bra off. He walked to the couch and laid us down. Then he took my pants off. He kissed down my neck looking for my sweet spot. I moaned when he found it. Then he kissed down my breasts leaving a trail of hickeys. I dug my nails in his back. he groaned. Then he took his pants and my panties off.
(you can imagine the rest ;)
Next day.
I woke up in someone's arms. I looked behind me and saw Daryl .
My eyes went wide.
What the hell happened last night!?
I looked around and saw our clothes on the floor.
Daryl took his arms off me and turned around.
I heard him snore a little.
I carefully got up and put my bra and panties on. I walked past a mirror and saw my neck and chest.
My jaw dropped and i whispered "The fuck?"
I saw his reflection in the mirror and saw his back. I saw the scratch marks i did and then i saw scars. I heard people talking next door. I put my clothes on and walked out.
Thank god that no one was up yet.
I walked back into my room, turned the lights on and jerked up when i saw Carl sleeping on the couch.
Then I walked to him and sat down next to him "Carl"
He groaned "Not yet"
I shook him a little bit more and he woke up.
Carl blinked a few times "Where were you? And what is that on your neck?"
Oh shit .
Me "I fell asleep in the library and i scratched myself at night i guess "
He nodded.
Me "Want some breakfast?"
He nodded. He got up and we walked into the kitchen. Everyone was sitting there. T-Dog was making eggs.
I sat down next to Glenn and Carl next to mom.
Me "How is my favorite Korean doing?"
I shoved him a little and he groaned. I laughed and he groaned.
Glenn "Ken, you know I love you but just shut up"
Me "All right"
I looked to Dad who was holding painkillers in his hands "dad?"
He looked at me "Painkillers"
I nodded.
He threw them to me and i caught the bottle.
I took one for me out and one for Glenn.
Glenn muttered "Never ever never again"
T-Dog, Jackie and i laughed.
I gave him the painkiller "That'll help you"
Carl "why doesn't Keni have a hangover?"
I looked at him and he looked at mom" Because i'm used to it"
Shane came to us "hey"
Dad "hey"
He walked to the coffee machine.
T eyed him "What the hell happened to you? Your neck..."
Shane sat down, grumpy.
I looked at him and he had 3 scratch marks in his neck.
Shane shrugged while taking a sip of his coffee "Must have done it in my sleep"
Dad raised an eyebrow "never seen you do that before"
Shane gave mom a quick glance "me neither. not like me at all"
I glared at mom.
Carl "Keni has some too"
Everyone looked at me.
