chapter 4

Emily's P.O.V
As I'm walking towards the stairs, Daryl comes next to me and says "Dinner is starting in the caf right now." I just nod and follow him.
When we get down to the cafeteria I notice the small group sitting at the table. When I walk in after Daryl everyone's eyes are on me. I feel pretty awkward not gonna lie. I look around for a seat. While I'm looking I see Carl. He looks at me and makes room next to him to sit. No, I'm not going to take the seat though. I go sit next to Darly, and the other side of me is a blond girl.

"Hi! my name is Beth." The blond, Beth, tells me. "Hi, I'm emily, but you might've known that." I say kind of awkwardly. "Oh, i know, Carl talks about you." He talks about me? like shit talking or? "It's all good, don't worry." She must've saw the look on my face. I look at the other end of the table and see carl quietly eating his food. I feel bad not siting next to him, but I'm still pissed he didn't believe me.

Carol places a bowl of pasta in front of me. Damn this looks good. When I'm eating, an Asian, I think his name is Glenn, asks me "How'd you survive on your own?" Good question I thought to myself. "I really have no idea. I just always knew to stay hidden, be quiet and have somewhere to stay protected at night. I was pretty good at killing those things, since I didn't have a choice to be good or not." I say laughing lightly. "Walkers, we call them walkers. but damn that's impressing." He says back to me. I thank him and continue to eat.

It was quiet and I decided to ask a question that's been on my mind for a while now. "Um, you guys might not know the answer to this but um, do you know if where Philip and his group is, he has another daughter there?" I ask nervously. They all look at me and shake their heads. Then an African American women speaks up, "Yes he does," my eyes perk up a little bit "but, sorry to say, she's a walker" my heart drops. My only sister is dead. I will never get to see her again. Tears form in my eyes. "oh" is all I can say. i say thank you and stand up and walk back to my, well Carl's too, cell.

I can't believe she's dead. She's the only family member that I loved. Hot tears stream down my face as I cry into my pillow.

Carl's P.O.V
I feel horrible for her. I know she's hurt because her sister probably didn't want to leave her and still loved her. I look over at Beth and see her giving me a look. I mouth 'what' and she mouth back 'go'. Then I realize what she meant. I get up and walk to our cells and I hear her crying. I go over and sit on the bed and wrap my arms around her. She, surprisingly, wraps her arms around me and crys into my chest.

"I know how it feels to loose someone." I tell her. She looks up at me and sniffles

"Im sorry for your loss." she says.

"it's okay, it's not your fault." I say.

"Sorry if this is personal but who did you loose?" She asks politely.

I gulp. "I lost my mom," I say and she covers her mouth and wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me. "but I got my little sister out of it, but it still hurts."

She looks up at me, "You have a little sister?" she says with her gorgeous smile. "Yeah, you want to go meet her?" I ask her and she nods her head with a smile. I stand up and put my hand out, she hesitantly grabs it. sparks.

We walk into my dads cell and there Judith is playing with red cups in her crib. Emily's face lights up even more. I go over and pick her up. Judith starts to giggle. "What's her name?" Emily asks amazed. "Judith," I tell her "do you want to hold her?" She nods her head and I hand over Judith to her. Judith starts to giggle again. Judith starts to play with her hair and emily starts talking to her in a baby voice. I don't think I've seen anything cuter than this.

"I see you've meet Judith." My dad says walking in.

"Yeah" Emily says while laughing. "She adorable." She says playing with Judith some more.

"You sure know how to make a baby laugh." My dad says with a smile. "You do." I add in.

She looks down. "When Penny was a baby, I loved to play with her." My dad and I both awkwardly nod, knowing she just found out about her sisters death.

The rest of the night Emily and I play with Judith. Things I think are going to start to get better around here.
