[14] SECRETS.

LILAC WAS RESTLESS that night. after the big news glenn revealed to her, and then begged her to not tell anyone. it was impossible to even get a minute of sleep.

walkers in the barn. it confused lilac as to why hershel would keep such things. the things that made a beautiful world, ever so ugly.

the group began to look at rick and lilac as leaders. rick had already stepped up, trying to negotiate with hershel for the better of the group.

but lilac was still unsure why she was starting to be seen as a leader. maybe it was because she was slightly stubborn and kept to her promises.

or maybe...it was because her and her brother, were born to lead in a world like this.

MAGGIE WASN'T AWARE that glenn spilled her fathers big secret to his bestfriend. daryl had immediately come out of the room he was 'hospitalised' in. and was back in his tent. lilac thought of checking up on him in the morning. but before she got the chance, she watched andrea walk into his tent.

lilac decided on leaving daryl alone, and and found carl stood by the RV. "hat suits you." she grinned at her nephew who was finally back on his feet. "i want to learn to shoot too, can you teach me?" carl asked his aunt, aware of the gun training that would be happening today. "i know i'm the cool aunt, kid. but that choice, lies with your mom and dad." lilac told him.

"but you and dad are the leaders right?" carl asked. "well i- i don't know, it's a group kid." lilac said. "but everyone looks to you two." said carl. "true, but the decision of you learning to shoot a gun, is out of my territory." lilac sighed.

"can you talk to them? they'll listen to you?" carl asked his aunt with pleading eyes. "fine." she sighed as carl ran into her arms hugging her. lilac wrapped her arms around his torso, moments like these would never get old for her.

but as she hugged him she felt something in his belt.

"HOW THE HELL did this happen?!" lori spat as she held the gun carl had, had. "well it's my fault, i let him into the RV. he said he wanted a walkie, that you sent him in for one." dale told lori.

lilac was sat beside her nephew on a log, watching the conversation unfold. "so on top of everything else, he lied. what was he thinking?" lori sighed. "he wants to learn how to shoot. he asked me to teach him. now i know i'm only the aunt here, but i'm happy too." lilac said as she stood from where she was sat.

"i'm not comfortable with it! — she told lilac, her eyes scanning both shane and rick to see if they agree with her — oh, don't make me the unreasonable one here. rick?" she asked her husband beside her.
