A Lost Orphan

Trusting is hard

(The death of her sister still affected Elisa as much as ever, it affects me so much because she loses a little bit of the notion of her body, she can't hold her knife anymore and doesn't eat much)

-You're okay...? (Carl asks Elisa who is sitting in on her bed)

-I don't really know...

-Would you like to come and eat with us?

-Can I....?

"You're part of the group..." Come(He said, waving at her to get up)

(Elisa gets up with difficulty but succeeds, she follows him into a room where the whole group is eating, they are talking, then he notices Carl and Elisa coming)

-Elisa eats with us...(Carl said as he helped him sit down in a chair next to him)

(Everyone looks at her, Elisa doesn't dare look at them)

(Carol comes up behind her giving her a plate)

-That's it for you..." Don't hesitate to ask for more, okay....?

-Thanks...(Elisa replies rather shyly Before eating her dish, everyone looks at her waiting for a reaction)

(Elisa smiles, everyone laughs and starts talking again)

(Elisa has never experienced eating with so many people, it's like a big family, she looks at everyone and enjoys this moment)

-So Elisa, where are you from, by the way....? (Ask the Asian man)

-I lived in France until I was 5 years old... I then moved to the United States....

-No way... We have a French girl in the team...!(He replies with a laugh)

(Everyone starts laughing, Elisa does the same in a shy way)

(At the end of the meal, Elisa decided to tidy up the table to take her mind off things

-Wait, let me help you.... (Says the short-haired woman helping her remove the plates)

-Thank you...(Elisa said as she watched her help her)

(They put away the plates, clean up in the prison kitchen, they don't talk)

-You're still struggling to stand.... Isn't it...?(The woman asks, looking at her)

(Elisa looks at herself, her legs tremble a little)

-Go see my father...He will give you advice(she said with a smile)

(Elisa looks at her, questioning, she doesn't know who her father is)

-The old man...If you prefer...(She said with a laugh)

-What's his name...? (Ask Elisa)

-Hershel...(Replies the woman, wondering why she's asking that)

-How about you...?

-Maggie...

-Thank you Maggie...I'll go and see him....(She said smiling before leaving

(Maggie looks at her with a slight smirk)

(Elisa goes to sit up in bed before reaching for her knife. Her hands still shake when she holds something, she tries to mimic a fight to get used to her shaking but nothing helps, she tells herself she'll stay like this)
