The Immune's Cure (The Walking Dead/Carl Grimes)

The Immune Part 3 (Chapter Seven)

Casey's POV

Everything as we knew it was being destroyed. The sounds of bombs and gunfire from above. I just stared at Carl who stared back at me. I wasn't going to say anything if he wasn't going to say anything. People threw out suggestions of what to do but none of that mattered if Carl was gone.

"You alright?" Michonne asked and I just nodded.

"I think I left the noodles boiling." I confessed making her chuckle.

I looked forward and made eye contact with Daryl. He gave me a small nod to which I returned. My eyes adverted to Dwight who I was still weary about being around. I gave a smile to Jared who returned a weak one. But no matter who I looked at my mind only thought of Carl. Rick paced around looking at all of the faces. The sounds of my home being destroyed and the thought of Carl dead built up inside me.

"I can't do this." I stood up and all eyes were on me.

"What? Can't do what?" Rick asked.

"I can go up there and kill them all." I growled.

"We can't risk that." Rick shook his head.

"I've been invincible for years I don't think it'll stop now." I began walked but Rick grabbed me. "Rick I am done watching people I care about die when I can end it all! For years you've been trying to protect me but I'm not that little girl in the road anymore. I am a monster, a beast, a killer. I am a woman now!"

"Just... be careful." Rick sighed. I looked at Carl who looked back up at me.

"I love you." I said to him.

"I love you too." He sighed.

"Casey wait- there's a man up there. He goes by the name Joshua but I know him as something different. It's a long story but I need you to not kill him." Oh Rick. Stupid Grimes. "I trust him."

"You trust me." I shook my head.

"Of course I trust you."

"No Rick. You trust me." He looked at me confused. "This whole time and you never knew."

"Never knew what?"

"Rick... I am J." His eyes widened in shock. "Now let me go kill these motherfuckers."

I made sure no one saw me get out of the sewer. I had a gun on one side of me and my whip on the other. As back up I kept some knives in my pockets. Any Savior I see I will kill. My heartbeat was easy to quicken, my eyes turned red. The first man who saw me pointed a gun at me and shot. Nothing. I shot him right in the eye. The next few didn't even have time to react before bullets were in their heads as well. A machine gun went off but it felt like rubber hitting my skin. My last bullet took him out. That's when I saw him: Joshua.

I reached for my whip but stopped myself. He needs to suffer. Something deep within me needs him to suffer. He's just like all the other Saviors but... he's not. Why is he different? What is happening? I took a step forward but my legs gave out under me and I fell to the ground hitting my head. Flashes of Joshua's face entered my head . I got up wobbly but still went to him.

"It's beautiful isn't it." He said without turning to me. "The fire."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I don't know, who am I?" He turned to me with eyes full of acceptance. He dropped his gun to the pavement opening his arms for whatever was coming. I kicked him in the stomach and he fell to the ground but just laughed. He knows he's going to die. I guess he's just accepting it. "I killed him myself. Chandler." What? That's my brothers name but I watched him die... did I? It's all so blurry. "I didn't want to believe it was you. You killed yourself before all of this started or so I thought. I guess those scientists got what they wanted."
