We Are One (Walking Dead Fanfic)

Ready #5

Michonne left me next to the fence of terminus, she said that I needed to stay here and live. I didn't know what she meant, she promised she would come back for me.

I stood there for a while, looking at the brick building that was silent. Apparently this is supposed to be a safe place, but there is nobody on watch. No one was to be seen, to be honest, I don't think this place is safe. I held my bow and arrow in my hand.

I heard a twig snap from behind me, but no groan, I whipped around and aimed my arrow at my attacker. There stood a woman, short grey hair, and looked lie she was in her 40s. She was wearing a big sack on her shoulders that was covered in walker guts and blood, her face was covered up with dirt and grime from the ground.

It took me a minute or two to recognize those eyes. I saw them before. The eyes that cared for everyone, the eyes that cried herself to sleep at night. The eyes that saw so much hate in the world. The eyes of Carol Peletier. The eyes of Sophia's mother. The eyes that took care of me instead of taking care of herself.

"Carol?" She looked at me, like she didn't know who I was, I didn't argue why because I look so different. I have longer hair now, down near my waist, I'm thinner because of the lack of food, I look dead because of the sleep that I wasn't getting and I'm taller. "B..Brighton?" She blurted out trying to contain her tears that she was holding back, but I didn't hold mine.

It was as if everything bad thing in the world dissapeared. I couldn't move, like my legs stuck to the ground like magnets. My tears streamed down my face, causing my eyes to sting. "Carol" I felt her body on mine, engulfing me in a hug that I never thought I would get for the rest of my life. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me. "Your alive!!" She whispered in my ear. I nodded and tucked my head into her shoulder. "How did you survive?" I didn't awnser I just continued to hug her.

She slowly released me, letting me suck in another gulp of warm air. She put both her hands on my cheeks and kissed my head, the smile. The smile is what lit up my world. "What are you doing here?" I asked "saving our family?".

My heart sank, they are in trouble!!, what happened!!, where are they? Where is Carl. "Save, what do you mean save?" I moved away from her. Her face dropped "they are in terminus" I turned on my heels and ran towards the fence "Brighton, we are gonna get them back, I have it all planned, you can help" I smiled, "what will I do?"
