Love in the dark! (Sequel to Broken on the floor)

Chapter 4: Waking up

Mackenzie Rosita Prime POV

I woke up and opened my eyes. I looked and saw Mom beside my bed. She smiled and shut her book.

Mom helped me sit up carefully. "Thank you."

"Of course." she smiled. I smiled back. "Okay."

The door opened and Nicholas and Glenn stumbled in. 

"Glenn! Glenn, what happened? Are you okay?" Rosita asked. "I'm okay."

"You guys look like shit." I joked. Glenn turned to me. "She's fine. She's fine!" Rosita said. Glenn smiled. "Kenzie?" Maggie asked. "I'm okay. You should check them!" I said. She ran over to Glenn. 

I then heard happy barking and Dagger ran to me and jumped on the bed. "Hey, buddy!" I smiled and rubbed his head. 

I then heard heavy footsteps. "KENZIE?!"

I saw Dad. "Hi, daddy!"

He sighed in relief and walked over and hugged me gently. I smiled and nuzzled into his shoulder missing his scent. 

I then saw Eugene walk in. "Holy shit." I smiled. "Oh, thank God... Nothing happened to your hair." I joked. Eugene smiled. 

"Okay, does someone want to send Noah in here to protect me? Eugene's freaking me out." I joked. 

Everyone tensed. "What?"

I was out with the others making sure the walkers got where they needed to. I was glaring at Nicholas. Maggie walked over. "He got Noah killed?" I asked. "He did. He did more than that." I turned to Maggie. 

"He lured Glenn into the woods and tried to kill him." Maggie told me. "What the hell?" I turned to Dragonstorm but Maggie stopped me. "Optimus wanted him burned alive when I told him. I told him it's not Glenn wanted. He saves people. Even people like that."

I nodded. 

"But then I thought about you. How your dragons made sure you were never injured on the battle and how they took off trying to protect you. And now you're one of the most important people in the world to me. Things can get better. We can make them better. You tell me what you want to do." Maggie said. 

"I'm just gonna follow your lead." I told her. Maggie nodded. She hugged me and was careful of my back. I hugged her back. "I'm sorry."

Glenn noticed Maggie and Kenzie hugging. He smiled. 

I stood beside my father. I sighed. "You okay?" He asked me. I nodded. "Yep. I'm hot but I'm fine." I said. "Kenzie, I don't want you hurting yourself. You did just wake up." Dad scolded me softly. "I know."

I then heard a familiar car. I saw a yellow Lamborghini pull up. I saw Sunstreaker's holoform come out. "Look who came back from the dead." I giggled. Sunny hugged me softly. I smiled. 

We then saw walker. 

"Help us!"

Dad saw Dragonstorm was stopped. Suddenly they fired their fire and burned the walkers. 

I was with Eugene. We were getting things to make dinner. "What Optimus wants to do is suicide. I'm sorry, Spencer, but Deanna is asleep at the wheel. So it's on us. We have got to stop him!"

"Stop a 40 foot robot? Are you insane?!" Spencer snapped. 

"What the priest said about him, about these people, he was right. How many more of us have to die before we do something? 'Cause pretty soon it's gonna be too late."

"Carter, you need to be really careful here. You're talking about us going to Deanna and telling her--"

"No, I'm not talking about talking some more. About Meetings. I'm not talking about that. Plain and simple, we kill him before he kills us."

Something slipped out of Eugene's arms. Everyone turned. I got scared and hit my back. 

I winced as it started to hurt. "H-Hello." Eugene greeted. 

"Carter."

"They heard." Carter said. "We didn't. I mean, we didn't-"

"Carter."

"They heard." He pointed his gun at us. "Carter, don't. You can't." Olivia said. The door opened and I saw Dad, Rick, Daryl, and Morgan. "What the hell is going on in here?" Dad asked. "What are you doing?"

"I'm taking this place back from you." Carter said his gun trained on me. Dad turned to Tobin, Olivia, and Spencer. "That's what you were talking about in here?" Dad asked. 

"That's what he was talking about." Spencer said. Dad nodded. "See, I would have-- I would have set up lookouts. That would have been the smart thing. You know, if I happened to-" Dad grabbed Carter's arm and smashed it against the wall and kneed him in the groin. 

He pointed the gun at his head. "You dare point a gun at my daughter's head? You really think you're gonna take this community from us? From Glenn? From Michonne? From Daryl? From me?" Dad snarled. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"

"It was just me." Carter muttered. 

"What?"

"It was-- It was just me. Just-- just kill me." Dad put the gun on his head. 

"Optimus." Dad looked up at Daryl. "I'm good." He handed Daryl the gun who took it. "You can try to work with us. You can try to survive. Would you do that?" Dad asked. I smiled. 

He was becoming a better person for me.
