Flashback from the end of the last chapter:
Then Sophie stabbed Tara's head with the knife, Sophie simply didn't want Tara to be alive as a walker. Daryl and Yumiko did this with the remaining heads while the rest except for Michael looked on sadly. Then the three, Yumiko, Daryl and Sophie, dug holes in front of the branches where the heads were and put them in, it was better than no grave. After a while the group made their way back to the kingdom.
Now:
The group returned to the kingdom where they were let in. Rosita saw Sophie and immediately ran to her and hugged her. "Damn, I was so worried," Rosita said, relieved but also very worried, as she hugged her daughter. "Sorry mom," Sophie mumbled as she looked at the floor. How was she supposed to tell Rosita about Tara? "Are you okay? Injuries? Anything?" Rosita asked quickly one after the other. Sophie just shook her head. "Just a small wound on the head, nothing serious," Sophie assured Rosita. "Let's see," Rosita said worriedly, whereupon she brushed Sophie's hair out of her face a little, whereupon she found a medium-sized wound on Sophie's forehead that was also bloody. "We'll take a look at it later, OK?" Rosita said worriedly as she looked at the wound. "Mom, it's not a big deal," Sophie tried to calm her down, but Rosita wouldn't negotiate. "Nothing, but please have it checked out later," Rosita said seriously, to which Sophie sighed and agreed. "Wait a minute - you're back and Michael is here too, where's Tara?" Rosita suddenly asked as she looked around and saw Daryl, Michonne, Yumiko, Michael, Carol and Sophie but there was no sign of Tara anywhere. "We were together when we both disappeared," Sophie began to explain slowly with a shaky voice. Then Rosita looked serious but still worried because she didn't know what to expect. "Hey, we'll leave you alone for a while," Daryl said sympathetically, after which he, Carol, Michonne and Yumiko left. So only Sophie, Rosita and Michael were left. After the others had left, Sophie continued. "Mom... Tara... Tara didn't make it," Sophie said as she looked at Rosita with tears in her eyes. "What...?" Rosita asked, shocked, as she didn't want to believe what Sophie had just said. "It's all my fault... If I hadn't gone on patrol with Tara, none of this would have happened... We wouldn't have been kidnapped and Tara would definitely still be alive now," Sophie said as she burst into tears, after which Rosita immediately took Sophie in her arms and hugged her. "Hey, none of this is your fault, you couldn't have changed anything, right?" Rosita said gently, while a few tears ran down her cheeks. "But I'm glad that you're at least alive and that both you and Michael are doing well," Rosita said in the same tone, after which there was a moment of silence. "I'm sorry I couldn't help in time," Michael said in a sad tone, first looking at Rosita and then looking down because he somehow blamed himself for him and the others only finding Sophie so late. "The most important thing is that you're both OK?" Rosita said softly, to which Michael nodded hesitantly. "Now come here for the family hug," Rosita said, more or less forcing a small grin. Michael hesitated at first, but then Sophie spoke up. "Now come here, you idiot, you're part of the family, forget it? You're my brother, now move your ass here," Sophie said after wiping away her tears. "Tell me," Michael said with a slight grin, whereupon he went over to the two of them and was then pulled into the hug. The three of them stayed like that for a moment. Rosita enjoyed it because she was happy that the children were OK. Her number one priority was that both Michael and Sophie were OK even though Tara hadn't made it. But they had to keep going for Tara and all the others they had lost.
I hope you like it guys and please like for the chapter and please leave here a few comments :)
Guys, I was thinking about doing a chapter just about Michael and Sophie, so to speak, to show what their bond is like now, since Michael has been living with them for a few months now. Does it sound good to do a chapter just about Michael and Sophie?
