Mackenzie Rosita Prime POV

I woke up and got dressed. I then walked into the room Rick was in. I saw him taking boards down. "Hey... Uh, Rick?" He turned to me. "Can I ask you something?" I asked. He nodded.  

"Did... Did something happen to Optimus out there? He hasn't been the same since he got back." I said. 

"Optimus saw him at the back of the convoy. He attacked Negan and he tried to kill him. He wanted him dead because of what he did to you and Carl." He told me. I nodded. 

"When exactly did he become this cold?" Rick asked. "It was way before he met me. They had a war on Cybertron and Optimus lost his sister. Megatron killed her and that's what turned him cold." I said. I then noticed the cut on his head. 

"Do you want me to help with that?" I asked. 

"No... I'll be fine." Rick told me. I nodded. He started to walk off when he stopped. He turned to me. "You okay, Kenzie?" He asked me. 

I nodded. "Yeah, just... I want it over because Optimus is way more violent than he normally is and it's concerning me!" I said close to tears. Rick then hugged me and he managed to calm me down. 


I jolted awake hearing screams. Optimus jumped up and he grabbed his shotgun. He shot a walker that was trying to attack a woman. He shot a lot of them. 

"Mackenzie! Get up. Come on. I need you to get out of here-"

"No, I'm helping!" I stated. "MACKENZIE!" He yelled. Suddenly a walker tackled me. I cried out as I tried to keep it off. 

I then felt the railing breaking and it broke and I fell off the top floor. "MACKENZIE!"

I hit the ground hard. I winced as it burned my back. "Shit!"

Rick and Daryl ran over. They helped me stand. 

I was laying on the wall when the door opened. I saw Rick, Daryl, and Optimus. "House is clear." Optimus said. "How'd it happen?" I asked. Neither of the three answered. "Um... the Saviors did something to their weapons. Everyone they cut up... or got shot... They all got sick." Daryl explained. "Some of 'em turned."

"What?" Enid asked. "No."

"Okay--" Tara started. 

"When we were out there, and you said you were done waiting, I coulda killed him. I shoulda." Daryl said talking about Dwight. "No. He wanted to be here with us. And no matter what he did or how hard he tried, I wanted him dead.I just couldn't let it be anything else. Karma's a bitch, right?" Tara asked. 

{WARNING!!! SUICIDE ATTEMPT!!}

I was sitting down and I sighed. I saw Pickle and she noticed me. She walked over and sniffed me. "I'm okay, sweetie." I whispered and rubbed her snout softly. 

I walked inside my room and I then saw a note on my bed. Negan's going to kill you why don't you kill yourself. Someone wrote. I then grabbed my knife and put it to my stomach. 

"I-It'll be over soon." I whimpered. 

"Kenzie!" I looked and saw Rick. "Hey. No don't do this. Okay? We already lost a lot of people we don't need to lose you!" He told me. "I don't belong!" I said crying. "Kenzie, don't do this, okay? I care about you, Optimus does, Maggie does, Rosita does, your dragons do, Everyone cares about you. Okay?"

"It doesn't matter!" I said as I shoved the knife in my stomach or I tried to. Rick instantly grabbed the knife. He then hugged me tightly. I cried on his shoulder and he hugged me tightly.
