The ghost of you! (Maggie and Glenn fanfic)

Chapter 42: Walkers or people?

3rd POV

Once everyone got on the dragons Optimus got on Predaking and all three of them flew off.

The dragons landed when it was safe and allowed everyone off.

They flew up into the air.

Optimus walked in front of everyone. He winced as his shoulder was hurting.

He ignored it. He walked with his horse beside him. His horse nudged his shoulder. He smiled. "I'll be fine, bud." His horse neighed.

Riley then started growling and Dog was barking. Optimus stood beside Daryl. He then grabbed a blade. He threw it at a walkers leg. It didn't affect it. Daryl shot another's leg and it was human. He screamed and the walkers tore into him. Michonne came from the other side. "Drop it!" Prime snarled at the whisperer.

She instantly dropped it.

Daryl then took the mask off her face. Optimus saw a teenage girl at the age of 15.

"How many?"

"Please... please you killed them all." She cried. Michonne put her blade to her throat. "I don't believe you."

"Michonne! We take her with us." She glanced at the prime.

They took the girl and covered her eyes and tied her hands up.

They got back to Hilltop and the dragons landed. Optimus was petting Predaking and he purred. Optimus checked the other dragons for any bites or scratches.

Optimus noticed Rosita throwing up and he activated his holoform. "You okay?" He asked. "I'm fine."

"You sure?" She nodded. "You remember that time we got drunk?" Optimus stared at her. "I'm pregnant." Optimus stared at her. "Oh Gods."

Optimus stood at the funeral and Riley was laying down on Jesus's grave. He took care of Riley after Josephine passed. Michonne glanced at Optimus and he sighed.

He then walked down into the cells and unlocked the door the kid they found was in. "What's your name?" He asked softly. She looked terrified. "Hey. I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise." She nodded. "Lydia." He nodded.

He then pulled over a chair and sat down. "Primus, I'm getting old for this shit." Lydia smiled.

"How old are you?" He asked. "15." She said. He nodded. He sighed. "You kind of remind me of my sister when she was your age. Jeez, she was weird. Always was asking me weird ass questions." Optimus said.

"What's your name?" She asked. "Optimus Prime." He answered. She paled. "Do you know someone named Nemesis?" She asked. He turned. "How do you know that name?"

"He's been with us for years." He paled. "I will be right back." He then locked her cell.

He ran up and ran into Tara. "We need eyes in the air right now."

"Optimus, we have pTrosl—"

"WE NEED THEM IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW!" He snarled.

"Wait! What's this about?" She asked. "My twin. He's with them. He's worse than I am. Way worse. If he finds out I'm here he will do anything to hurt all of you, please, Tara get one of the dragons in the air." She sighed. "Okay. I'll send one of them up." He nodded.

Optimus walked down the stairs and had a pill bottle in his hands. He unlocked the cell door and sat down. He had a pill vittole in one hand and a water bottle in the other. "It's for your ear. You keep pulling on it like it hurts." He said. He handed it to Lydia and she took it.

He then handed her the water bottle and she drank it. "How long has Nemesis been with you?" He asked. "Ever since we joined a Whisperers." He nodded.

He then sniffed the air and he smelled the pain and he also smelled scars on her arms.

Nemesis was holding Lydia. He was gently rocking her.

She whimpered and he rubbed her back. Lydia's mother threw Matias down and put her hand over his mouth he then died from lack of oxygen.

Nemesis started to sing a song to Lydia. He had her name tattooed on his arm.

"He used to sing that to me when I was scared. Which was a lot back then." Lydia said.

"How old were you?" Optimus asked. "5. 6. Who knows?"

"Your mom — your mom did what she had to do." He said. Lydia nodded. "Nemesis told me the same thing."

"He told me he had a daughter." Optimus said. Lydia sighed. "Can I see your arm?" He asked. She hesitated but showed it to him. He noticed scars that looked like abuse marks.

Optimus sighed as Lydia was asleep on his lap. He gently rubbed her hair. He then saw Daryl walk in. He sighed. "How come you have long scars on your back?" Daryl asked. "Me and my brother were abused by our sire. Before I came to Earth, he thought we were mistakes and disappoints. When I got to Earth we were separated and I found Josephine and she took care of me before we found you guys." Daryl nodded.

Tara and Yumiko saw whisperes with a mech that Optimus described.
