Everything Was A Lie

Morgan Jones

Shiva is fast asleep now and almost sounds as if she's purring.
I slip from her grasp.
"Go get Morgen." King Ezekiel says to Jerry who races away after.
"Is that a wedding ring?" The King asks pointing to the ring on my finger.
"It was my mom's."
"Did the virus kill her?"
"No she got shot and came back with the virus."
"Oh the kill come back."
"My daddy's friend Rick used to try to get ahold of a man named Morgan on a walkie-talkie but never could." I say.
"You mean Rick Grimes?" A voice sounds behind me.
I turn looking at the man that everyone found so famous. He's tall,dark skinned and probably as old or a little younger then Rick. He stares at me and has dirt smeared on his face.
"So you're THE Morgan Jones?" I ask.
"Yeah, and you are?"
"Rick's old friend."
"Wait, are you the little Johnson that Rick talked about attacking Daryl?"
Rick told him about that!?!?
I just nod and feel my face heat up.
"I'll take her with me now. I'll take her to my home, then get back to work." Morgan says.
"Go home early and help her settle in and rest. She must me starving." King Ezekiel says.
"Yes sir." Morgan replies and I walk over and sit in the wheelchair. Morgan pushes me out and leans down and whispers in my ear.
"You're a legacy at Alexandria, people still miss you." He says. I feel my face become heated again. "Especially Daryl." He snickers.

I look at the house.  It's kinda small but cozy. "Good thing we have an extra room for you." He says. "How'd you get separated?" He asks. "I left Alexandra because my friend Noah was killed because the people there were weak." I say.
"Maggie is pregnant and they think she was having a miscarriage and then I left looking for Carol." He says.
"Carol's here!?"
He nods.
"She's in a coma too."
"I'll visit when she wakes up and I start work in the garden tomorrow." I say happily and yawn loudly before standing up and laying down in the bed. "I'll fix you something to eat and then I'll lay down if you need anything, just yell." He explains.
"Okay thank you." I say.
He walks towards the door and pulls it closed. I lay back in bed and close my eyes before drifting off to sleep.
