Chapter Three: Things are About to get Worse

(So I couldn't find this episode to watch to help me out so I'm literally doing this by memory. So if I forget something that you guys deem important please let me know by at least 10 tomorrow night so I can add it into the story. Also because I'm doing this from memory please go easy on me with this chapter.)

Rick's POV:

"Babe we got a problem." Daryl said and motioned for me to follow him and took off. I ran after him and stopped with wide eyes at the sight.

"Tyresse was kneeling on the ground with two burnt bodies in front of him.

It was all I could do to not gag as I slowly walked up to him, only then seeing Carol and Brian there with us, and went to place a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Ty." I said and I meant it. One of bodies is wearing Karen's bracelet, meaning she was dead.

The second I placed a hand on his shoulder he stood up and pushed me really hard and stood in front of me looking ready to fight. Daryl took a defensive stance behind him ready to help me out but I held a hand out to stop him.

"Ty, I'm sorry for your loss. Everyone here has lost someone important to them. We know what you're going through." I said gently and he glared at me.

"Fuck you Rick! You may have lost someone important to you but were able to gain more! Shit, you guys actually LOST someone and they came BACK! Karen was everything to me! You find the son of a bitch that did this and you bring them to me to deal with!" he said and pointed at himself.

I nodded and looked down at the ground then back up at him and sighed. "We'll find whoever did this and bring them to justice, I promise you. Right now though we need to focus on this virus and why they had to die. Maybe the person that did this thought it would stop it from spreading, we don't know. We need to get those who appear sick and/or were exposed to it from being in D." I told him and his glared deepened.

"There's no excuse for doing what they did to them, to Karen. They were good people that didn't deserve this." he said pointing at the bodies.

"Look man I get it. If I lost Rick, Carl, Bri or Justin, or anyone from our family, I don't know what I'd do. We need to listen to Rick right now though, ok. We will find whoever did this." Daryl said and went to turn Tyresse around to look at him, but instead Tyresse turned and grabbed the front of Daryl's shirt and pushed him into the wall glaring at him.

That pissed me off and I went to help him out along with the others but Daryl followed my lead and held his hands up to stop us from getting closer. "We're on your side man." Daryl said looking right at Tyresse. I slowly walked up and placed a hand on Tyresse's shoulder and yanked him off of Daryl and placed myself between them to keep the pissed off man away from Daryl.

Though I didn't except him to punch me.

After that first punch the others worked to get us apart and Daryl looked ready to kill. I just took a deep breath, turned back around, and punch Ty right back. He fell and I straddled him and continued punching him, unable to stop. I felt familiar arms wrap around my waist trying to get me off of Ty and I struggled against him.

"Get off me! Get the fuck off me!" I yelled at Daryl but he was still able to get me off of him and he gently pushed me back only for me to feel Brian's arms restraining me.

Ty laid there breathing hard and crying while I stood there glaring at him breathing hard myself. After a while I gently pulled myself away from Brian and pulled Daryl close to me and looked down at Ty. "Carol here will look at you and patch you up. We'll get the man that did this, but if you ever pull what you just did again I will kill you." I said and he just looked at me and I turned still holding Daryl close to me with Brian following close behind.

"Let's let Hershel look at this." Daryl said gently while also picking my hand up gently and looked at the blood on it. I sighed and nodded and let Daryl turn me in the direction Hershel would be at,

"I'll be leaving the two of you here, I need to go find Justin and..." he started before stopping and staring at us with pleading eyes to understand. I smiled at him and so did Daryl, both of us knowing Brian just needed to make sure Sunshine was ok.

"We understand, say hi for us and tell him we;ll you two later." I said and he smiled his thanks and ran off in Justin's direction.

"Let's get you to Hershel now." Daryl said and we turned back and headed for Hershel.

"You're lucky you don't need stitches." Hershel said as he dabbed my cut knuckles clean.

"Still hurts though." I said and Daryl smirked at me.

As Hershel wrapped up my hand I couldn't help but notice the far away look in his eyes. "What's on your mind Hershel?" I asked and he looked up at me and sighed.

"Glenn's got it." was all he said and I felt my heart stop. I saw Daryl sit slowly out of the corner of my eye and I grabbed his hand with my free one and he squeezed it looking for comfort.

"How do you know?" I asked and Hershel looked between us.

"Em went to go and sit with him their bed but Glenn stopped him. The moment Glenn told him he had it Em came straight to me begging to help him. Glenn's being moved with the others at the moment." he said and I felt my heart break for both Em and Glenn.

"We need to find something to control this and soon! I'm going to grab some people and head to the closest town and look for medicine. If this is an extreme flu then there's medicine to help fight it." Daryl said and I squeezed his hand.

"I don't want you going out there, it's too dangerous now." I said and he looked at me with determination.

"Babe you know we need medicine. Besides, it's not like I plan to go alone. I just said I was going to find people. I know that Justin's been trying to heal this, but he can't because it's not a bite or scratch and I had to stop him from cutting himself again. We need actual medicine to fight this." he said and I looked at him before sighing and placing my forehead on his.

"Fine, but be careful. Don't leave right away, wait until sunset then head out." I told him and he went to argue but I kissed him and he stopped. "Please, for me." I said and he sighed this time and nodded.

"Fine, but if it looks like it's even getting a little worse I'm leaving right then. I'm going to get my people together." he said and I nodded and kissed him again before he stood and left.

"You know you'll have to go into lock down too Her." I told him and he just sighed and nodded.

"What does Carl think about being confined?" he asked and I laughed.

"Doesn't like it, but he knows it's important to me and his father that he's away from those that may have it. He's going but is mad." I said and Hershel chuckled and nodded.

"That sounds like Carl." he said and I couldn't stop my own laugh from coming. "Well, there you go. Don't put to much strain on it or you will end up needing stitches. No farmer for a week at least." he said and I nodded both my thanks and understanding and left to find Brian and Justin to see what they thought about all of this.

Justin's POV:

I slowly walked to mine and Brian's cell trying to act as normal as I could. I was currently feeling like shit and I didn't know how to tell anyone. If the only person immune to the virus gets sick with it it'll make people loose all the hope they have.

'I just hope I don't have this, Rick needs my help and I need to make sure these people stay calm.' I thought and stopped walking when I heard Carl's voice behind me just before I walked up the steps to our cell.

"Justin can I ask you something?" he said and I turned and smiled at him praying he couldn't tell I felt horrible.

"You know you can Carl, but shouldn't you be leaving with the others to be locked down?" I asked and he sighed but nodded and looked at me slightly annoyed.

"Yes I am, I'm going with others right now actually, but I just needed to ask you a question." he said and I nodded and slowly grabbed the hand rail when I suddenly became dizzy.

"Ok, what's up?" I asked praying he hadn't noticed. It appeared he didn't because he continued.

"I needed to know that you'd be ok. I mean, my dads and Brian said they're ok. But with Glenn getting it too I can't help but feel like our family's about to lose people and I can't have it being you, my dads, or Brian." he said and I looked at him sadly and slowly knelt and pulled him into a hug.

I looked up and saw Brian walking to us smiling and I smiled back at him. Only for it to leave when I felt something wrong.

Black spots entered my eyes and I pulled Carl more to me. "Carl." I whispered out and I felt him tense at my sudden change. "I'm so sorry." I whispered out and my world went completely black.

Brian's POV:

I ran all the way to our cell block and sighed in relief when I saw Justin kneel down and pull Carl into a hug. I walked up to them smiling and saw Justin smile at me when he noticed I was there. I got confused, though, when his smile left and he hugged Carl tighter. I was luckily close enough to hear him because he started whispering to Carl.

"Carl." he whispered out and I felt fear enter me as I watched Carl tense up. "I'm so sorry." he said and I felt my heart stop when Justin closed his eyes and fell, bringing Carl with him because of the weight difference.

"Justin? Oh my God Justin wake up!" Carl yelled and I was beside them in an instant and helped Carl get out from under Justin and pulled him to me.

"The fuck happened?!" I asked in fear and I looked at Carl and saw his eyes were wide and he was shaking in fear. He slowly shook his head and began talking as he continued to stare at Justin.

"I-I don't know Bri! We were just talking about how I wanted to know he was ok because Glenn has it and I didn't want to loose you two my dads and the next thing I knew he passed out!" he said and tears came into his eyes. I looked down at Justin and felt fear enter me.

'God Sunshine please don't have it too!' I begged and looked up when I heard someone coming. Daryl was walking to us smiling but when he saw who was in my arms and why it dropped and he ran full speed to us.

"Oh my God what happened to him?!" he asked and Carl repeated what he told me. When he was finished Daryl's eyes were wide and he looked to be fighting back tears. "You know what we have to do now Bri." he said looking at me and I pulled Justin more to me.

"Hell no! He doesn't have it, he's immune to the virus remember! Maybe he's just really tired." I said and Daryl just looked at me.

"Bri, he's immune to the bite and scratch. This, though, this is something completely new. It's like the virus and flu mixed together and formed a super flu. For all we know Justin's not immune to it. I hate it too Bri, he's my best friend, but Glenn will be in there and they can look out for each other when Justin wakes up." he said gently.

I stared at him then down at Justin and sighed. I pulled him up some and kissed his forehead before picking him up and held him bridal style then looked back at Daryl. "You're right Dar, lead the way." I said and he nodded slowly and knelt down to pull Carl into a hug.

"He'll be ok Carl. Him and Glenn are both strong people, a little bug isn't going to take them down easily." he said and I felt hope enter me at his words. He was right, Justin and Glenn WERE tough people, they wouldn't let this beat them.

Daryl stood up and looked back at me and led the way with Carl following close behind. We stopped though when Rick ran up to us and Daryl explained what was going on. "I'm leaving once Sunshine's with Glenn. I refuse to loose them both to this. The sooner I leave the more chance they have of surviving." Daryl said and Rick nodded and sighed.

"That might be a good idea babe. I just found out from Maggie that Sasha also has it. We can't loose anymore people to this thing. Get your men and leave once you're ready." he said and walked up and placed a hand on Daryl's cheek. "Please stay safe." he said and Daryl nodded at him and gave him a kiss. Rick looked down at Carl and nodded for him to follow.

"I want to see Jus off dad." Carl said and it was obvious the poor kid was scared. Rick sighed and knelt down to Carl.

"I need to get you with the others Carl. They've got Sunshine and we'll help both him, Glenn, Sasha, and the others get better. Right now though they would want you safe and as far from them as possible." Rick said gently and Carl looked at the floor but nodded and followed Rick once he stood up.

Daryl looked at me and we nodded at each other and walked to cell block A. "Oh my God! There's no way!" Carol said and covered her mouth with her, or covered where her mouth was since she had it covered to keep herself from getting this thing, hands and her eyes widened.

"I'm afraid so Car. Could you call Glenn over here? I want Sunshine with someone I trust with his life." I said looked back down at Justin who had yet to wake up. Carol nodded and turned to the door and called for Glenn. Once I could see him I could tell he wasn't feeling good at all. He was leaning on the door frame for support and had sweat coming down his very pale face and he was breathing a little hard.

"Don't tell me Sunshine has it too." he said and his eyes also widened. I looked down at Justin again and pulled him closer then looked back at Glenn.

"We don't know, just please watch. Daryl's leaving right after this to find medicine. We'll have you two and Sasha back with us in no time at all." I said and Glenn smiled at my attempted to make him feel better and took Justin from me slowly.

For a sick guy he was still pretty strong.

"I'll take care of him Bri. You guys just focus on getting medicine back here." he said and we both nodded as Glenn took Justin away from us and back to where he was before. Carol shut the door and pulled us into a hug.

"Let's get our people back to us." she said and we both nodded and Daryl left to find his men. Carol turned and smiled at me and wrapped an arm around my waist and mine went around her shoulders. "Why don't we go find Rick." she said and I smiled a small smile at her.

'Please stay strong for me Sunshine.' I begged as I looked back at the door that separated me and my Sunshine.

Daryl's POV:

"I'm glad you're staying around this time and not running off." I told Michonne as she walked up with her bag for the trip. She gave me a weird look and cocked her head to the side.

"What do you mean?" she asked and I smiled at her.

"I mean we like having you around. We've all become close to you and I know Carl loves you. You're a part of our family now." I told her and she smiled at me.

"Thanks." she said and got into the truck. I was about to follow her when I looked over and saw Tyresse walking up to us.

"I'm sorry about earlier. If you'll have me, I'd love to help get these people medicine." he said and I smiled at him and held the door open.

"Come on, I'd love your help." I told him and he smiled and got into the car. Once we were all in the car I turned it on and we headed for the gate where Brian held it open for us and closed it as soon as we were clear.

"Let's go." I said and floored it away from the prison.

Rick's POV:

I walked down to the farm to check on everything I was able to when I saw Carol leaning over a pipe and walkers coming at her. "Shit!" I yelled and ran to the fence and began to shoot the walkers. Once she was safely back in the prison we closed up the hole she came threw and I glared at her.

"That was very stupid of you." I told her and shrugged at me.

"We needed the water fixed. Now we don't have to worry about it." she said and I stared at her.

"You did that for the group, that could've ended in you dying." I said and she shrugged again and began to walk away. "Would you do anything to keep these people alive and safe?" I asked and she stopped and looked at me.

"Yes I would." she said and continued walking. I watched her for a few seconds before I spoke up again.

"Carol." I said and she turned to me. "Did you kill Karen and David?" I asked and she just looked at me.

"Yes."
