Narrative

"Don't do anything irrational." Rory sat down next to her brother on the steps. "You talk to him and get out." Rick sighed, nodding his head.

"Yeah." She leans over and wraps her arms around him.

"Love you."

"Love you too." He wraps his arm around her waist, squeezing her slightly.

"Alright, we gotta get going." Hershel and Daryl walk out of the door, catching the attention of the siblings.

"Be safe, see ya later." Rory stands up and walks inside. Being met with Jaden and Deja playing with the twins.

"Hey bae." Deja smiles up at her, before going back to tickle Ellie's stomach. She sighs, going to sit down next to them.

The faces of Tyreese and Sasha flash through her mind. Her breath hitching, she makes herself focus on her babies.

"What's wrong." Her head snaps up to Deja who has a concerned look on her face.

"Nothing, nothing. I'm fine." She picks up the plastic key toy and shakes it, Evie reaching up to grab at it.

"You're lying."

"I promise, I'm fine." She gives her a small smile, picking up the plastic keys and handing them to Evie. "Just thinking." She shrugs a little.

"Carl, come here." Looking over her shoulder, she watches as Glenn stacks two cases of bullets on top of each other and hand them over to the boy. "You stash these at the loading dock. All right?" Carl nods and takes it from his hands.

"Beth, put more up on the catwalk. If anyone gets pinned down, we need to make sure they have plenty of ammo." Beth takes a container before walking off. "I'll be working on the cage."

"What we should be doing is loading some of this firepower in a truck and paying a visit to the governor." Aurora rolls her eyes at the sound of Merles voice. "We know where he is right now."

"Are you suggesting that we just go in and kill him?" Maggie asks, shoveling bullets and guns into a bag.

"Yeah, I am." He rolls his eyes.

"We told Rick and Daryl that we'd stay put." Michonne sighs.

"Well I've changed my mind, sweetheart." He shrugs a little. "Being on the sideline with my brother out there ain't sitting right with me."

"The three of them are right in the middle of it." Rory speaks up, catching the attention of everyone. "No idea we're coming, they could be taken hostage, or killed. A thousand things can go wrong, and they will." She finishes.

"My dad can handle himself." Carl says, standing tall.

"Sorry, son. But your dad's head could be on a pike real soon." Aurora scoffed, getting up from her spot.

"Don't say that to him. Don't even ever fucking talk to him again. Got it." She pointed at him, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Got it sweetheart." He sent her a smirk. Rolling her eyes, she turned to Deja and Jaden who were still on the ground with the twins in their hands.

"I don't want him around them." She mumbled, taking Evie from Jaden. Deja nodded, picking herself up with Ellie. As Jaden picked up the toys, they went into the cell blocks.

Rory was worried about what could happen. The prison was slowly becoming a home to her. They we're fixing things up, Glenn was either doing something to help strengthen the prison, or was down at the backup generator putting the knowledge Dale gave him to use.

Rick was slowly going down hill, which scared her. Carl needed him, Judith needed him, she needed him.

Sitting Evie down, she made sure that she was stable before letting her go, Deja doing the same thing. Jaden piled the toy's between the two.

Sitting at one of the tables, she admires the twins. She loved them so much.

"You were made to me a mom." Jaden said, catching the attention of the two girls.

"Yeah, just wish I wasn't so young though. But, shit happens." She shrugs.

"What did happen?" Deja asks, she had been wondering since she heard the news. She knew her best friend. She knew Rory wasn't a one night stand type. Even when she lost herself to depression, she was saving it for someone special.

"Uh, it's not important." She shakes her head. Deja sent her a look, but she pushed it off. Her mind was invaded with different thoughts.

She, wanted to tell them. But what if they didn't believe her.

That's bullshit Aurora, you know Deja will believe you no matter what.

Shaking her head a little she continued to watch her children. Looking over, she made eye contact Deja who sent her a worried look.

"It- it's complicated. It happened at the party we went to just after Rick got shot." She played with her thumbs.

"You hooked up with someone there?" Jaden questioned and Rory shook it no. "Then what-"

"Oh, bae." Deja cut him off, getting up to hug her best friend. She didn't need to be told what happened, putting one and one together she got what Rory was trying to say.

"Who?" Her voice quivered. It might seem fucked up, but that was Deja's worst fear. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Rory, especially when she's around. And that's just what happened.

"Isaiah. It was him. I told him no, I tried to push him off of me and he kept going." She cried. Jaden's heart dropped. He finally got it.

His so called best friend was a monster. A horrible human being.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you. I'm sorry that I couldn't stop him." She sniffed, wiping away tears that fell. Rory shook her head.

"No, it's not your fault. It's nobody's fault, nobody's but his." She wiped her own tears.

Idk, I've just been having a hard time lately. My original plan was to finish season 3, which I only have two episodes left of during my Thanksgiving break but then things became very chaotic that I couldn't do that. Then school started up again and I had literal piles of homework to do. So I was stressing there. BUT- we just had semester tests and that mean I'm winter break now. Up until January 4th, SO I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO FINISH SEASON THREE TODAY AND WRITE A COUPLE OF CHAPTERS.
