The ghost of you! (Maggie and Glenn fanfic)

Chapter 37: A new beginning

Josephine Rogers Rhee's POV

I was in Optimus's truck as he drove in front of everyone. Me and mom were.

A walker snarled as it peaked out. I stabbed it in the head.

"We're good for now. Sweep protocol when we get in."

We got inside and Optimus stayed beside me. Ever since what happened to Negan, I and Optimus have been very close. We tell each other everything. We heard some birds. "Y'all got your lists. Meet back here when you're done. Be safe."

We walked into a room and it had a glass floor. Me and Optimus walked over it not caring. Everyone followed soon.

A walker fell and the glass cracked. Daryl shot it. "Onward. We'll figure it out." Ezekiel said.

I walked with Optimus. "How do you feel?" he asked me. "Fine," I said.

We got into a room full of ancient weapons. We saw spears and axes and swords.

Me and Optimus gathered them. I was helping the others with the carriage. I took a step and saw it was stable.

I got onto it and walked forward.

We managed to get the carriage through. Optimus and I grabbed the rest of the stuff. I took a step when suddenly the glass started to break and shatter. "SAVE THE PLOW!" I yelled. I threw it right as it broke.

I fell through. "JOSIE!" Optimus and Mom yelled. I then shot a few walkers. Optimus then grabbed my arm and he yanked me up. As soon as I got up, he hugged me tightly.

"Oh, thank Primus." He whispered. He kissed my head constantly. I smiled.

During the war, I got some bad burn scars on the right side of my face.

I was in Optimus's truck and Mom was in the carriage. "You scared me." The radio lit up. I smiled. "I scared myself. Just as long as the plow was safe." I said.

"I don't give a damn about some object. I care about your damn life. It's more important than a damn plow." Optimus snapped. I smiled.

He then activated his holoform. "Oh! I got something for you." He handed me a ring. "Oh my God!" I shoved his shoulder playfully. He laughed.

"I know you are not asking me to marry you!" I said. He snickered.

He then put it on my pinkie. "Nah, it's just an object I thought would represent my love for you." I smiled.

We tied the carriage up to Optimus's truck. His tires struggled in the mud. "Come on, Optimus! PUSH!" I teased. He then pulled it out one last time.

We saw the walkers getting closer. Optimus transformed and he shot some of them. The horses were getting nervous. I shot a walker near one.

Mom bad my arm. I then saw a horse stuck. "No! I gotta free her!"

"JOSEPHINE, WAIT!" Rick yelled. A walker then bit into my wrist. I screamed.

"NO!" Optimus screamed. The horse then kicked me but Ken got in the way first.

Optimus then looked at me. "This is gonna hurt!" I nodded. He then cut the skin off my whole arm. I screamed in pain.

I woke up and winced as my arm was wrapped in a bandage. Optimus was sitting beside me. I felt him squeeze my hand. Fortunately for me. I could still move it. It was just a meatless arm.

Optimus smiled as I squeezed his hand.

I sighed as we gently walked Rosespark his daughter. "Ah. Tough night?" Gregory asked me and Optimus. "Tough week." He started.

"I didn't want it to be too much of a deal but it looks like someone defaced Glenn's grave." I tensed.

"Anyway, Goodnight."

"Night."

We circled back to the graves.

I then saw a man. He backhanded me. I accidentally knocked over Rosespark. She screamed as she fell down.

The man held his to my mouth. Optimus grabbed him and slammed him against the wall. Enid came to help but he hit her and she hit the edge of some wood.

Aiden and Like restrained the hooded figure and Optimus took the hood off. I saw Earl.

Me and Optimus stormed into Gregory's office. "Josephine... Gods, Jo, what happened?"

"What happened? You tried to have Josephine killed because YOU'RE TOO CHICKEN SHIT TO DO IT YOURSELF!" Optimus snarled angrily. He had a short temper. I then felt super sick.

"I-Optimus?" he turned. I then threw up a lot of blood. Optimus looked at me. "No! NO, NO, NO!" he caught me as I dropped. "No, no, no, Jo! No! Don't do this to me!" Optimus sobbed.

I then felt the darkness closing on me.

Optimus sobbed as his sister died. Maggie and Alden rushed into the room. "He poisoned my sister. TAKE HIM!" Optimus yelled.

They took Gregory to the cells.

Optimus was standing out near the front. Michonne, Rick, and Darul stopped when they saw how devastated the prime looked.

"Josephine's dead." was all he said.
