Sage's pov

I stared at the glimmering sun. Me now being 10 years old and still fighting the apocalypse but what killed more than anything was that my mom didn't survive. That I wasn't lucky enough to see how my mother truly seemed but that didn't mean I was the only one. Judith has never seen her Mom. I mean still, she had Rick and Carl. Although Carl being my dad they said he changed ever since my Moms death.

They showed me a picture of her and it seemed as though I turned out just like her. Well at least that's what they told me but they told me about the day she died. About how Alexandria, my home once had their now great walls shattered but still. We were lucky to live unlike many that died.

Those included people like Eric and Aaron who died while trying to save me. And Kevin who died saving my mother. There were just to many deaths but what amazed me was that there still was life. Life like Maggie's baby. It was all amazing all great because we all actually started something up in Alexandria and caused a happy ending as the Walkers stayed out since the fall. I mean they all no longer were in Alexandria due to my dad and them. It was all a happy ending right?

"Hey sage" says my dad as he sits next to me on the watch post.

"Hey dad" I say as I look over at the sunset, him snapping me out of my thoughts

"I have something to give you that I forgot about" says My dad as tears seemed to fill his eyes.

I looked at him but followed his arm as a note was in his palm. It extended towards me and the writing of my mom's name on it.

"I was supposed to give it to you but I forgot all about it and now that I saw it I knew it was time" says my dad as I take the piece of paper.

I opened it up and on top my name was written.

Dear Sage,
This is Hailey, your mom who isn't with you now. I knew this day would come where I ceased to exist but not this soon. Not when I still had an amazing child to look after. And although you don't remember me or my love towards you when we first met eyes. It's hard for me to say that I won't be there like expected. That I died pathetically without saving any life. Instead I took two with me to my death bed. Kevins and Caiydens.
And maybe I'm blaming myself but I just wanted to say that I know you'll be alive when they find you. I know I neglected you by ignoring you but I know you'll survive. Your a survivor..No..a fighter. You'll live through this apocalypse unlike I did. Unlike many did. You'll survive but with one thing...with you carrying me with you as you carry on the dream I was incapable of achieving because that is how I will die thinking...

I will die thinking that my son, Sage, is a fighter.

FIGHT!!

Yours truly
(aka your mother)
Hailey Dixon
Xoxo.

I looked up from the note as I took a glimpse of dad as my vision blurred. Due to the tears welling up. I grabbed the necklace from the paper as It had a heart locket.

I opened it and saw Hailey with two other guys, one being Daryl.

I gripped the chain as the tears streamed down.

"Fight" I whispered as I stared off towards the setting sun. My moms grave being below us as I finally understood everything.

The End.

A/N ~ I just wanted to finish off that they'll be a possibility of a sequel for Sage. I'm not so sure though. If I get enough support on it there's a possibility...
