Pdv Kira :


1 week has passed, Daryl is better but we still haven't found the little one. I'm with Andrea and Dale talking.

Dale: You think we'll be here a long time.

Me: I hope as much as possible.

Andrea: everything is calm here

Me: yeah it looks like we're in a fairy tale. Dale?

Dale: 11 a.m.

He managed to guess what I wanted to ask him, that's really the best! Andrea goes back to her tent.

Me: thank you you are the best

I see Glenn running towards us looking everywhere.

Glenn: I'll go tell the others about the barn.

Me: Are you sure?

Dale: I think he's right.

Glenn: I'm stressed...

Dale: Don't worry Kira and I will be there for you.

Me: Yes, we're not going to let you down, my little Chinese!

We're all laughing. Dale puts an arm around my neck and we follow Glenn who has left to join the others.

Dale and I sit by a tree, everyone is eating. Shane walks up to me with a plate.

Shane: Looks good

Me: Thank you Shane.

I start eating when Glenn starts talking.

Glenn: Friends I have to tell you... Here the barn is stuffed with walkers.

Everyone stops eating and all stares at the barn in complete panic.
Shane convinces us all to go check it out.

Shane: Don't tell me it suits you! Clearly it won't!

Rick: We can't leave!

Shane: Why?!

Carole: Because my daughter is alone in the forest.

Shane: Carole we should start considering the other possibility.

Me: Shane, we won't abandon Sophia!

Daryl: I found her doll 1 week ago!

Shane: Yes exactly, you found a doll! I am just saying the truth !

Rick: Let me talk to Herschel!

Dale: Herschel believes these things are human.

Shane: Ah because you knew about it!

Dale: Yeah but we could survive one more night so I didn't say anything.

Me: I too could have said something but I said nothing.

Rick: Because you knew too?!

Me: Uh... Nah.

Dale smacks me in the back of the head, telling me I shouldn't have said that.

Rick: I'll go talk to him.

Rick will talk to Herschel when the others go about their business.

Rick: We found out about the barn.

Herschel: Leave it as it is.

Rick: In fact, I'd like to talk to you about it, I know it's your barn, your farm, your choices, but...

Herschel: I don't want to talk about that.

Rick: I'm not talking about debate just discussion.

Herschel: I want you all out of here by the end of the week!

After long minutes of pointless discussion, Rick decides to go see his daughter to ask for some support.

Rick: Kira?

Kira: Yeah dad?

Rick: Herschel seems to like you wouldn't you try to talk to him?

Kira: It didn't work, did it?

Rick: he refuses to hear that it's thing are dangerous. You are our only hope my daughter.

Kira: Well if I'm your only hope then I have no choice do I?

Rick kisses his daughter on the forehead and lets her go into the house.

POV Kira

Me: Hey grandpa?

He turns back to me.

Herschel: I was sure it was you.

Me: Can I talk to you?

Herschel: If it's to talk to me about the barn, you can leave already.

Me: *smiles* You know before this apocalypse I was in the military and we went to the disease control center and doctor Jenner, the only doctor who stayed explained to us that there is no cure. Nothing.

Herschel: You all have to get out of my farm...

I wince at his sentence, he's not going to let us go. It's almost winter and we won't survive it.

Kira : What ?

Herschel: Listen...


Me: Nah you listen to me. We have a kid who disappeared in the wild, hordes of walkers always fall on us every day when we're outside, members of my bands... of my family dies and leaves on the market my mother is pregnant!
So nah... nah you're not going to kick us out because even if you don't want to admit it you need us to protect your farm! And you think God would be okay with you kicking us out.

Herschel: How do you know I believe in...

Me: The Bible.

I start to leave when I hear Herschel's voice rising.

Herschel: You are a good girl Kira...You want more than anything to protect your family and I respect you for that...but understand me too I must protect mine.

Me: And you could make some of this group... of this family.

I turn around and leave the house, slamming the door.
