Emma's POV

Screams. Screams from Jessie was all that was heard as her son dies right in front of her frozen like state. Sam, the young, fearful boy, had cried at the walkers, his fear being too much for his young self, and now he's laying on the ground, multiple walkers tearing off the flesh from his bones, his hand still tightly connected to his mother's. I find my grip tightening on my boyfriend, Carl's, hand as Jessie's screams continue to grow louder and louder until other walkers are slowly approaching our figures.

"Jessie, c'mon." Carl whispers tugging at her hand that rests in his.

Carls pleads for Jessie are drowned out by her continued screams and yells and cries for her youngest son, and now we are all trying our best to get her out of her panicked state. Ron cries for his mother to move forward, and as I examine him, the fear and sorrow truly shines brightly above all other emotions. Michonne continues to gaze around us, watching the walkers becoming closer and closer, giving us the occasional glance.

In the moment my head turns behind me to check for the dead, Jessie's cries stop and Ron's hand loosens on mine, reflexing me to only tighten my hold. I quickly turn back to the problem, seeing walkers among walkers tearing Jessie down as well, and my eyes widen at the horror. Carl tries to pull his hand away, but Jessie has a death grip on him, and he tanks and he yanks but no amount of strength gives him freedom. I panic at this, seeing as the next to go could be Carl while Rick watches Jessie die, in a complete daze.

You could always tell Rick cared deeply for Jessie and her with him. He saved her from her abusive husband, giving her the chance to live longer and better with her sons. I could always see how they were getting closer. And now Jessie is gone and Rick is completely out of it.

"Dad." Carl panics quietly and Rick finally tears his gaze from his dying love to his scared son.

He too seems to panic at the situation, before pulling out his machete and staring intently on Jessie's hand attached to Carl's. Rick raises the weapon up in the air before bringing it down harshly on Jessie's wrist. I look downward quickly when I feel Ron's hand slip from mine and he watches in what looks to be anger as Rick takes three more hacks at his mothers wrist before it finally tears through.

Carl falls to the ground, quickly rising and staring at his dad before a click is heard from behind me. I turn around the same time Carl does, seeing Ron aiming Carl's pistol, which must've dropped when he fell, at Rick, who looks completely stunned at the situation.

My eyes widen in terror as Ron glares evily at Rick, his finger pressing down on the trigger slowly. I move towards his side, trying to stop him but he doesn't take notice of my presence and continues his one sided glaring contest wth Rick. My green orbs fall to Michonne's sudden move, watching just as Ron's finger presses the trigger down completely and as Michonne thrusts her katana into his chest pulling him down to the ground, only to have walkers surround his body.

I look up at Carl and Rick as small, innocent words are said. "Dad?" Carl asks looking up to reveal a bloody eye and pale face, causing my heart to stop momentarily before starting up even faster than before.

"Carl." Rick whimpers as his son falls to the ground, laying limp.

And in that moment, I could feel my world crashing to the ground, following by tears and heartbreak, for my love, Carl Grimes, was now on the brink of death.
