Once

I'm a Monster

Chapter 13

Logan POV
For the first time in almost three years my mom held me. I didn't want to leave her side but we had to get on our way back to the prison. We loaded up into the truck. Rick was driving with Carl beside him and Daryl at the window seat. I was sitting by the window with mom in the middle and Glenn on the other side of her.

I was watching the trees roll by while my mom was stroking my hair. Before I knew it I was asleep and comfterable for the first time in a long time.

I woke up when someone started to shake my body. It was instinct so I reached for my gun and had the safety off. I didn't know that it was mom who was shaking me trying to wake me up. "Sorry it was on accident. Force of habit I guess you could say."

I put my head down and she just laughed,"Logan don't be sorry because I am actually happy that you did that."

I gave her a weird look and said,"Why?"

"Because it shows me that you can take care of yourself. My baby is all grown up now." She gave me a pouty look and I just laughed at her.

I got out of the truck and walked around the back to grab some of the guns and bring them inside. She gave me a weird look and then carried on. She was trying to lift one of the boxes with food in it until I saw Glenn come up to her a whisper something in her ear. I saw her nod her head and Glenn took it.

"Come on Logie. I will show you your cell okay?" She was skipping down the road and I followed. She didn't really say much to anyone and I just continued to follow her. "Would you like your own cell for now or stay with me and Glenn?"

"I can stay by myself. I bet you two have a lot of catching up to do anyways." I said and tried not to sound annoyed at the fact that Glenn waited a whole day until he went and got my mom.

"Well guess what?" She asked and tried to stay serious.

"What?" I said trying not to laugh.

"I am staying with you weather you like it or not mister." I watched her trying to act serious until we both burst out in laughter.

I saw that she was generally happy to see me but I saw that she was sad. Wait no, scared. I just decided not to bring it up because if she wanted to talk she would talk to me.

Me and mom caught up and she introduced me to Glenn and he seems like a nice guy for her. I was getting ready for bed and heading for the shower until mom called me,"Logan wait a sec."

I turned around and met her half way. "Here take these for now. I will go on a run and get you more stuff tomorrow okay?"

"Yeah I will come with you and show you how it's done." She nodded and I watched her head off to the other side of the prison. I looked in the bin and saw two shirts that should fit, a pair of shorts, pair of pants, two boxers and some socks. I also noticed that there was some shampoo and soap for me. I just smiled.

After my shower I was in my cell reading 'Love You Forever' by Robert Munch. "Logie you in here?"

"Yeah momma I'm in here." I said and she came into the room. She looked down and saw the book and put her head down.

She came and sat down beside me and I snuggled in while she picked up the book. She smiled and said,"You still have it after everything that happened?"

I looked and noticed that it was the book that Beth had gotten my for my baby shower to my mom to read to me. "I thought that I was never gonna see my momma again. I guess for a while it was the only thing that I had left of you." I said and put my head down.

She just hugged me and patted her lap. I gladly sat on her lap while she started to read the book to me. I soon noticed that I had started to drift away. I was so thankful that I now had my momma back and now I will always protect her.

Maggie POV
I knew that he was already sleeping but I kept on reading to myself. I felt like now I wouldn't be sad all of the time like I usually was knowing the fact that I couldn't just up and leave to go and find my son.

I just laid there with Logan and moved him off of my lap so that I could sleep beside him.

I was soon woken up by him murmuring something to himself and tossing and turning. I knew what he was dreaming about so I gently shook him,"Logan baby wake up." I shook him a bit harder.

Relief flooded my body when his eyes shot open. I just grabbed him and rocked him back and forth in my lap. "Its okay baby I'm here now. Nobody is going to get you."

He just started to shake him head and said,"No I wasn't scared of people getting me. I was getting the people Momma I'm a monster." He just cried even harder and that made me wonder why he was crying over hurting people. I understand that he is just a small boy but he has to learn to not think about it. If he does he could die.

That was the last thing that I want for my son. "Logie? I am going to go hunting tomorrow, want to come with me?"

"Yeah I will. Tomorrow morning?" I nodded my head yes.

After talking to him for a while I finally got him to go to sleep and he clung to me as if I was just going to fade away and leave him again. I couldn't bring myself to sleep but instead I just sat there and ran my fingers through his brown hair and thinking about how much I have missed in two long years.

AN/ Well I have nothing to say but I have so much planned for this book so I will be updating a lot sooner. Have a wonderful day human beings....😊🤗
