My bloodied arms shake as I keep a tight hold on the baby in my arms . My sibling . My little sister. My motherless sister.
Greene's arm wraps round my shoulder hugging me tight to his side , I lean closer for support grateful for his warm embrace. " let me see the baby" Hershel says as Greene guides my frozen body over to them , " what we gonna feed it ? We got anything a baby can eat ?" Daryl asks.
Hershel checks the baby in my arms adjusting Carls bloodied jacket currently used as a blanket, " Good news is she looks healthy but she needs formula and soon or she won't survive" at those words my head whips up.
"No , not her she isn't dying" I say my voice wavering as Greene brings me closer his arm rubbing mine soothingly , " we ain't losing nobody else , I'm going for a run" Daryl agrees.
"I'll back you up" Maggie replies " I'll go too." Glenn adds , " okay , Aaron" Daryl says gesturing Greene over to him.
Aarons POV:
I reluctantly leave Grimes side as I follow Daryl he starts to speak "They both just lost their mom , by the looks of the blood it wasn't easy and their dad ain't doing so hot. I need you to look after them- " I cut him off " Of course, I promise you Elodie and Carl aren't leaving my side" I reply confidently looking back at the broken Grimes family , Elodie covered in her moms blood as she clutches the baby.
Glenn at her side wiping her tears , Beth has Carl in her arms as he stands numbly still looking at the floor then Rick I've never seen him so destroyed he sits there unresponsive a dazed look in his eye. I turn back to Daryl who gives me a nod tapping my back in support before he heads off.
Elodie's POV:
I pass my sister into Maggie's arms as Glenn pulls me into a tight hug , he holds my head to his chest as I start crying again my tears staining his shirt . " I'm so sorry Ells" he says sadly. " Glenn , Maggie come on !" Daryl shouts as I pull away from the hug , I turn to see dad pick up his axe as he heads back inside.
" Dad!" I cry but he doesn't stop as he enters the building , I don't want him to see her or what's left of her . I don't want him to see what I've done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I noticed the absence of Carol and T-dog , their dead too. A whole new pile of tears were shed now I'm standing in the bathroom finally getting a moment to myself. I scrub and scrub the blood off my hands , arms and face even after it's gone I still feel stained , I look in the mirror at my now matted braid. The one my mom did only a few hours ago.
I roughly undo it letting my knotted strands frame my face , I grip the edge of the sink my knuckles turning white. I slowly tilt my head back up facing my reflection but I jump back in shock as I see my mom in the mirror her skin deadly pale , shirt ripped , stomach slit open as she draws with her blood the word KILLER , I scream falling to the ground as I hear her agonising cries fill my ears.
