The Dixons Rises

Chapter 14

Better Than Ever Family Is Back Together

Ella’s POV

Carl woke me up from that dream. “Baby it’s time to get up” he proclaimed. I nodded

I got up and got dressed I seemed distant with Carl because I’m upset. Is April okay? What about Daryl or Blake… we need to find them. 

“I’m going on a run I’ll be back,” he announced. “Don’t go by yourself.” I suggested but he already walked out. 

I went down stairs and poured some cereal in a bowl. I hope Carl will be okay. 

I waited and watched Rick. Carl back in, “Before the run I killed three walkers.” He announced. “Okay?” I questioned him “I saved you!” he started shouting a speech to his dad.  “Everyone is dead because of you,” he explained to Rick “Hey!” I shouted “I’ll be better off without you Rick” he shouted and went to walk out I grabbed his hand. He tugged away.

Carl was being too hard on Rick. After an hour of waiting for Carl to come back he finally shown up. “Hey” I waved. “Brought back some food,” he explained. “What happen to your shoe?” I questioned looking at his sock and a shoe.  “Walker got it, but not me,” he explained with a smile so big. I shook my head smiling at him “Glad you were safe.” I responded. I was looking at Rick trying to take care of him while Carl was gone.

“Did you happen to find bandages or Medicine?” I asked. “No, why?” Carl responded. “Your dad might need some,” I explained. “Who cares” he shortly responded. “You do, I do everyone does, everyone is most likely alive.” I shouted he started getting on my nerves. 

“You’re right, I’m overacting,” he confessed. He brought me into a hug. “I missed you,” he whispered in my ear. I smiled “Miss you too” He sat next to me as we watched his dad sleep. It has gotten dark and we kept staring then finally he started breathing funny. “Is this it?” I asked Carl. “I don’t know” he seemed concerned. Rick fell off the couch. He reached his hand out to try to grab Carl. He held his gun and dropped it “Just take me I can’t do it” “Carl don’t talk like that.” I shouted and pulled him. “Carl, you and Ella get out of her for safety. “ we heard Rick struggle to say. “I’m sorry dad,” Carl cried. Carl was holding his dad head crying. 

We slept rough that night. The next morning Rick seemed a little better. I cleaned him up a bit. I took some of my water out of my water bottle and put it on a ripped shirt and cleaned his face. Carl gave Rick some food and handed me some. “You shouldn’t have went out on your own, why didn’t you go with him,” he asked me, “He told me not to go” I explained. “There was more food but I ate it.” He smiled. “What was it” Rick and I asked. “Pudding” he answered with a face of no regrets. We all laughed at his silliness. 

We then heard a knock. Carl and I jumped up in fright. Rick looked out the window thing. “Well who is?” Carl asked. “It’s for you” Rick stated. We opened the door to see Michonne we hugged her tight. She had the biggest smile I had ever seen on her.

We got Michonne back, everything was fine. Michonne and Carl and I were at the table eating breakfast. I got up when I was done to see Rick in the kitchen “Hey” I said grabbing water. “ Hey” he responded but being interrupted by Carl “I’ll rather drink Judith formula” I heard the chair squeak as he got up and stormed off I grabbed his arm he tugged away. Michonne walked in, “Thank you” Rick said.
