(Cats pov)
I wake up in the prison cell once again and then head outside, the just made graves for both Lori and T-dog so I bring aider down to lay my respects and place a Little Rock on both graves
"I'm sorry guys" I whisper as I walk away and back into the prison
"Hey Cat" Maggie and Beth both greet me
"Hi guys" I reply
"Glenn found this" Maggie tells me
"A phone book?" I ask picking up the book from next to maggies feet
"Shows some places around here, they might have bullets and formula" she tells me
"You coming?" Glenn asks as he joins us
"How could I say no to you" I coo jokingly
"Mornin' sis" Cole says as he sits beside me
"Mornin'" I reply and then the whole rooms goes silent just the sound of the spoons from our cereal hitting off the bowls
"Everybody okay?" Ricks voice disrupts the silence
"Yeah, we are" Maggie replies and he walks in
"What about you?" I ask looking up at the man dark baggy eyes
"Cleared out the boiler block" he dismisses my question
"How many were there?" Daryl asks him
"I don't know. A dozen, two dozen." he shrugs "I have to get back. Just wanted to check on Carl" he says patting his son on the shoulder
"Rick, we can handle taking out the bodies. You don't have to" Cole tells him
"No, I do" Rick tells him "everyone have a gun and a knife?"
"Yeah. Were runnin' low on ammo, though" Cole answers him
"Maggie, cat and I were planning on making a run this afternoon. Found a phone book with some places we can hit, look for bullets and formula" Glenn tells Rick
"We cleared out the generator room. Carls there tryin' to fix it in case of emergency. We're gonna sweep the lower levels as well" Daryl adds
"Good. Good" Rick answers walking out of the room
"Rick!" Hershel says but he's gone closing the metal door behind him and after five or so minutes I decide to go and find him
I find him in the room, the room Lori died in.
"Can I join you?" I ask as I make my way down the stairs and he just looks at me and then I hear the door opening again Hershel is standing at the top and hobbles down with his crutches I love the chair for him to sit down
"I still feel it," he says and I just look at him "I'm wiggling my toes right now." the old man chuckles making me smile lightly "I'm a ghost from the knee down"
"Sorry" I reply rubbing the back of my neck
"You two saved me, you two saved my life" he says
"She was sorry for the things that happened. She told me that. She planned on telling you. Take your time, whatever you need." Hershel says "You carried us, the both of you. You didn't let us give up. You got us here."
"It's not enough. It's not safe enough" Rick argues
"There ain't anywhere else safer" I tell him
"She's right. I know you want to get away from this, we've run already" Hershel speaks
"I got a call" Rick admits my eyebrows raise
"What?" Both Hershel and I say at the same time
"Someone called. On this phone." Rick speaks and places the phone down "a woman. She was young. She was part of a group. She said they had a safe place. They said they were just dialling numbers and I picked up. She said they'd be callin' back. If it sounds rights I wanna talk them into takin' us in"Rick speaks
"Did they say where they were?" Hershel asks
"No, but it doesn't matter. If it's safe we'll get there. Don't tell the rest of the group, not yet" Rick replies and I just look at Hershel, did Rick really get a call? I'm unsure
"I'll sit here with ya. That's somethin' I'm pretty good at nowadays" Hershel states his eyes going to his leg or lack of leg anyways
"No" Rick simply replies to which the older man nods
"All right" he states standing up form the chair his crutches reaching the floor as he hobbles off
"Look Rick I'm sorry," I apologise and he just looks at me "I promise you I did everythin' I coulda she just told me to do it she wanted me to save the baby. But she loved you so much and she regretted so many things but she was proud of you Rick" I tell him
"Get out" he tells me
"What?" I ask
"Get out!" He says louder
"Okay" I just reply not wanting to anger the man any more
"No I mean it Cat I never want to see your face again! You killed her! You killed my wife! Get outta here!" He shouts in my face making me just walk backwards and out of the room
"You alright?" Hershel asks as I walk out the room as he was stood outside the door and I don't respond just look at him with wide eyes "he'll calm down he don't mean that" he tells me placing a hand on my shoulder
"What if he did?" I ask and he just looks at me
"He didn't" he speaks as we walk back to the canteen in silence Cole instantly looks at me his face changes
"What's wrong?" He asks as he walks up to me Aider filling him
"Nothing" I shrug off
"Cat" he says
"Cole" I return
"What happened?" He asks placing a hand on my shoulder
"Rick wants me to leave" I reply and his head snaps to me
"He wants what?" Cole snaps
"He said he didn't want to see my face again" I tell him and he storms past me down the hallways
"Wanna come with me?" Daryl asks as he walks up to me
"Sure" i reply and we head down the hallways, the hallway we lost T
"You know, my mom, she liked her wine. She liked to smoke in bed. Virginia slims. I was playin' out with the kids in the neighbourhood. I could do that with Merle gone. They had bikes. I didn't." Daryl starts speaking as we walk down the hallways his body shielding mine as he walks ahead "we heard sirens gettin' louder. They jumped on their bikes, ran after it. You know, hopin' to see somethin' worth seein'. I ran after 'em, but I couldn't keep up. I ran around a corner and saw my friends lookin' at me. Hell, I saw everybody lookin' at me. Fire trucks everywhere. People from the neighbourhood. It was my house they were there for. It was my mom in bed burnt down to nothin'. That was the hard part. You know, she was just gone. Erased. Nothin' left of her. People said it was better that way." He chuckles to try remove the tension from the room "I don't know. Just made it seem like it wasn't real, you know?" He speaks
"I always thought my mom would just come back like it was a dream, a nightmare. I'm sorry about your mom" I speak
"I'm sorry about yours" he replies as he places a hand on my shoulder and we continue to walk down the corridors dragging any dead bodies out.
Rick is nowhere to be seen luckily for me so I just head to my bed with Aider.
