𝐈 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐈 drop my box of pills onto the small table opposite my bed, my Clobazam was running low, it was only a matter of days before they were actually gone and my seizures going to get bad. It was a risk for anyone to go out right now, who knows where the Governor has plotted his men. I wish I could kill him with my own bare hands for doing all this, hurting Maggie that way, too, such a sickening man.

Paige began to stir and wail a little, I take her out of her box to walk around the cell block to calm her down, I knew it would take her a while to, and I had to go and help Maggie lure some walkers away with Carl so a few of the lads could set up defence mechanisms, or the best we could do, but Paige comes first. If it weren't for Letty, then I'd still be there, "Need some help?" I yawn and nod at her gesture for help. She carefully takes Paige from me and coos at her.

"I gotta go help Maggie and Carl." I murmur. Yeah, I was tired; I was tossing and turning all night, worrying about the Governor, thoughts were running through my head all night; Will he surprise attack us? What if he sneaks past the person on lookout duty somehow? ...What if he kills the babies? "How much sleep did you get last night?" she questions.

I shrug, "Not much. Definitely not as much as Paige had." "You need to sleep, chula." she sighs. "Lack of sleep can trigger seizures more than anything." "I know, Let." I groan. "I just can't right now, knowing that that arsehole is out there, just plotting how to ravage us all. It keeps me wide awake at night just thinking of him in general-"

Next thing I knew was my body being pulled into a hug, "Nothing bad is going to happen, Jade. We're all gonna make it, nobody else is going to die. This war, if that's what you wanna call it, will end with us being victorious. I heard what he did to Maggie and I want that bastard to pay for making her do that. If he's capable of that, then god knows what else he can do."

"Would you fight if there was a battle?" I ask. I hear her let out a deep sigh, "Anything to keep my family safe." I let a warm smile creep its way onto my lips. She thinks all of us as her family. She was more or less my sister and everyone else... they were family not by blood, but by heart.

Especially Rick, my... father. Daryl, my partner in crime. Glenn, my light at the end of the tunnel. Hershel, my Santa. Carl... the love of my life. Those were just the boys, it felt like there were too much to count for. "Jade!" and Aussie rings throughout the block, Vinnie. "Please go out and join Maggie and Carl, 'cause he won't shut about ya'. He's practically convinced ya' ill." I let out a chuckle and let go off Letty, "Thank you, diosa." I look up at her.

"Anytime, chula." she winks. I quickly run into my cell to grab my weapons: gun, knife and bow and arrows, then head out to join Magpie and Goofball.
