They Could Be Sisters
(3rd POV)
The small flame flickered inside the glass lamp, casting light across the table as Carol cracked pecan shells into a bowl. "You still upset?" She asked Lizzie.
The small group had found a cottage earlier in the day, and while Carol and Tyreese cleared it out, Lizzie and Mika protected Judith outside. The sisters got in a fight, their yells attracting a nearby walker which Mika had to shoot down. The whole situation had frightened Lizzie, but not because she feared death. It was because she thought the walkers were her friends.
"Sometimes I don't understand," Lizzie started, breaking her distracted gaze, "but I'm trying to, ma'am. I am."
Hurried footsteps echoed down the hall, followed by a cheerful voice.
"Look what I found." Mika presented a doll from upstairs, her smile reaching her ears it was so wide. "I'm gonna name her Griselda Gunderson." She sat at the table, playing with the doll.
"Don't you think it looks like Belle's doll?" Mika inquired. Carol smiled at the girl, remembering the doll she had mentioned. The one that belonged to her daughter.
"No. Belle's doll had brown hair, yours is red. She let me hold it when I was sick." Lizzie told Mika.
"She's always taken good care of that doll, so she must really love you to give it to you." Carol told Lizzie with a gentle rub of her shoulder. She knew Annabelle loved those girls like sisters.
"I miss her. She always used to let me borrow that book in her cell, and if I asked, she would tell me all about the flowers she had." Mika grinned.
"Me, too. I miss when she would give me her old clothes when they didn't fit her anymore." She tugged at her shirt, knowing it was a hand-me-down.
"I miss when she would braid my hair, or when we made daisy chains that one time." Mika continued.
"Well, she's probably out there right now looking for you." Carol assured her.
Mika looked delighted. "I can't wait to show her my new doll."
