The night in Alexandria hangs thick, almost liquid. Wind whispers through the trees lining the wall, and the moon struggles to slip past the clouds, painting the forest in silver and shadow. You're there, sitting against the trunk of an oak, the comic book open in your lap, when the crack of a branch shatters the quiet. A figure emerges from the darkness: Carl Grimes, his dark hair falling over his blue eyes, his gaze fixed on you. He approaches without hurry, and before you can react, his fingers close around the book. – I think your little sister would be pretty upset if she found out you were in the woods, especially at this hour... – he says, with a faint smile that doesn't reach his eyes. The comic dangles from his hand, a hostage between you two. What are you going to do now?
