Sister To Sister

"I think we're done here, why don't you go rest, I can finish off." Hershel ordered me. We had a routine going, where me, Sasha and Glenn would help with his rounds and then he would send us back half way through when we started gasping for breath. I nodded with a cough, walking to my cell. Thanks to Hershel, I had slowly started getting better. Or at least, I wasn't getting any worse. I still couldn't walk more than ten steps without taking a break, and blood still trickled from my lips every time I coughed too hard.

I gripped the bars of the cells beside me for support, taking careful steps towards my own when I stopped.

"Lizzie?" The young girl was lying on a bed, her hair sticking to her forehead with sweat. She lifted her head from her pillow at the sound of my voice, almost leaping up to hug me. I stumbled slightly, the force almost knocking me over. "Are you okay? When did you get here?"

She wiped the hair from her eyes and smiled. She was really happy to see me. "I only got here this morning. I thought you were in here, I just couldn't find you." She hugged me tightly again. I had to push her off so she wouldn't suffocate me.

"Come on, you can stay with me." I took her back to my cell. I didn't want her being alone in a time like this. She laid down on the bed and shut her eyes.

"I didn't wanna leave Mika. I know I'm sick, but I don't like being away from her." Lizzie admitted in a tired voice. I sat at the end of the bed by her feet, picking up Sophia's doll and tucking it under her chin, pulling the blanket up.

"Mika's gonna be okay. She's with Beth and the other kids." I brushed the hair back from her forehead and pressed a kiss to it.

"You're so good at taking care of us." She starts drifting off.

I smiled down at her softly. "Well, I used to have a sister and I had to take care of her all the time when she was sick. Feed her soup, take her temperature, all of it."

"What happened to her?"

"She's gone now, but that's okay. Because I've got you and your sister, and Maggie and Beth. That's all I need." I noticed her steady breathing and her still eyelids, realising she was asleep.

"Night, Lizzie."

This was just a little chapter to show how much she cares about the girls because a lot of their relationship would've developed during the time jump
