Charter 41 ~ I Remember

°Previously in What Was Once Hidden°

I run to the library that we cleaned out last week. I know she went there because she loves to read.

I try to open the door but it wouldn't budge. "Shhh." I hear. It's Michael in there. I then hear a silent cry. It's Alex's cry.

I back up and run, knocking the door down.

My eyes grow wide and anger boils inside me.

Michael. Crossed. The. Line.

°Now in What Was Once Hidden.°

Carl's Pov

"What the fuck are you doing!? I scream walking in. Alex is on the couch with her bottoms off and a scratch on her thigh. I look at Michael who was trying to pull up his boxers. "What did you do! What did you do!" I scream louder. "I-Im sorry man!" He says backing up. "I'm going to kill you!" I run and tackle him to the ground. I wrap my hands around his neck tightly. "You sick batsered! You tried to rap her! Why! You took advantage of her! Go to hell! Go to hell!" I scream holding him tighter. I feel two hands tug on my back, I push who ever it was off of me. That's when it happened.

"C-Carl?" I hear Alex's soft voice call. I let go of Michael, he got up and ran to the corner in fear of what I'm going to do next. I turn around and see Alex on the floor, in front of the bookcase. Books were scattered around her.

The person I pushed was Alex.

"W-What's going o-on?" She asks confused. I run up to her and fall to my knees. "Alex baby is that you?" I ask. She grabs my hand and begins to speak but her eyes shut before she said anything. "Baby!" I yell shaking her a bit. Nothing. She's still alive she just passed out. I pick her up bridal style and run to the cafeteria.

"Hershal! I need you!" I scream "What's wrong?" "Alex she...she fell into a bookcase. I think she hit her head. Books were also scattered around her, they could of hit her." Hershal grabs her from me and takes her to that cell. I follow. "She has a concussion." He says examining her "She'll probably wake up tonight."

I sigh in relief.

"Before she passed out she...she seemed like her old self. She didn't know what was going on in the library. Do,...you think she got her memory back from that hit?" I ask. Hershal sighs "I don't know, but it's very unlikely." I sigh and nod. Hershal leaves. I grab a chair and sit next to the bed. I take her hand into mine, "I'm never leaving your side."

Alex's Pov

I wake up but not in my cell. Carl is beside my holding my hand. I start to panic. The last thing I remember is the guy shoving the knife into my stomach. Speaking of my stomach It feels different. I pull the covers up and look under my shirt. There's a scar forming..a really nasty one. I look down more and notice my bump is gone. Then it hits me.

I can't feel my baby! I start to panic and scream which wakes Carl up. "W-What's wrong!" He asks. I stand up. "Woah! Woah! What's wrong!?" He screams. "I-I can't feel the baby! Carl I can't feel our baby!" I panic. His face grows pale. "Honey.." he begins. He sits me down. "What's going on!?" Rick yells running in. "Dad get out!" Carl yells.

What the fuck is going on!?

Rick leaves. Carl sits down in the chair he was in before and grabs my hand.

"Do you remember being stabbed?" He asks slowly. I nod. "Well...I found you. Lying on the ground...bleeding. I brought you in and....H-Hershal examined you. T-The...baby...died."

I gasp. Tears start pouring down my cheeks. I can't believe this!

I grip Carl's hand. "Baby...there's more.." he says with tears in his eyes. "Hershal had to do surgery.. to get the baby out....before the baby turned and ripped you open from the inside."

I start to cry but this time harder. Carl didn't comfort me...that's how I know there's more.

"There's a very....very low chance of you ever getting pregnant again." He says biteing his lip.

I stare right into his eyes. "W-What?" I ask. "I know honey..I'm sorry." He says. I hang my head. "What was the baby?" I ask.

"I-It, it was a girl."

I break down. I fall into Carl. All we ever wanted was that baby girl. Riley Rose Grimes. Now we may never! Ever get that chance again!

I cry and cry and cry. Carl rubs my back and kisses my head. I tug on his shirt.

I finally stop to the point where I can speak.

"Where's my sister? W-Where's Victoria?"

Carl is quite.

"What!?" I scream. He grabs my hand again. "S-She..." he trails off. "She went with the Governor."

My eye's widen. My jaw drops. "Are you serious?" I ask . Carl nods. "She never really did change did she?" I ask.

I start to cry again. Carl lifts me up and hugs me. "Let's go in our cell." He picks me up. I'm still crying. He carries me bridal style up the stairs and into our cell. He lays me down and cuddles me.

"Baby please calm down." Carl says stroking my back. I'm about to the point where I'm coughing. "Shhh..." Carl says softly while stroking my back. If he's trying to calm me down its working.

Today was horrible. I found out my baby is gone and my sister is with that psycho path.

I cry my self to sleep in Carl's arms.
