Is Someone Out There?

Few Days After Death

Nicole's P.O.V.~
It's been a few days since Lori's death. None of us have seen Rick every since her death. Carl's been avoiding everyone and I've been watching the baby with Beth. I walked into my cell after a long day to find Carl sitting there crying.

"Carl are you okay?" "No, what do you think?" "I was just making sure. You don't need to snap at me like that. Everyone here is devastated Carl. We haven't seen your dad in days, and your sister doesn't even have a name yet."

"I know everyone is going through pain right now, but that was my mom." "Carl, I know how it is. My mom left us when I was little. I don't know where she is or if she's even alive. My dad he went out to the store, and never came back. I know exactly how you feel."

I walked out of our cell Carl following behind me. I took him to his baby sister. "Here. Carl this is your baby sister. We haven't picked out a name for her yet. We wanted you to name her, or Rick, but Rick is missing and we don't know where he is."

"I think i'll name her Judith." "Judith? I like it. Is she named after someone? Anyone specific?" "Yeah she's named after one of my favorite teachers from when I was little." "That's sweet. It really is." I said. "Hey, did you finally name her?" Daryl asked. "Yeah, her names Judith." "I like it. Just not as much as Little Ass Kicker."

We all burst into laughter when we heard a door open, and Rick walked in. He looked miserable.

"Rick? Are you okay?" "I'll be fine." "Are you sure?" "Yeah... Is...Is that my daughter?" "Yeah, would you like to see her?" "Y-y-yeah. C-c-could I?" "Of course."

I walk over to Carl, and grab Judith, and gave her to Rick.

"Does she have a name?" "Yeah, her names Judith." "I like that name."

A few weeks have passed, and some guy that calls himself the Governor wants our prison, but we are refusing to give it up just like that. We took in a lot of new people from his group that he left abandoned, and he found a new group. A huge sickness broke out, and I have been with Beth inside this little room. I finally got to come out of that room after being in there for days. When I walked outside bombs started going off. I got scared, and didn't know what was happening. I finally looked down, and there stood the one and only Governor. "I want to see Rick!" Rick walked down to the lowest part. He had kidnapped Michonne, and Hershel. The Governor had Michonne's katana at hand and had it at Hershel's neck.

"Rick you have what I want." "Yeah, and what is that?" "The prison. Give it to us now."

Rick's P.O.V.~

I look at some girl in the ponytail.

"You? You? In the ponytail is this what you want? Is this what any of you want?"

Some guy started talking.

"What we want... Is what you've got. Period. Time for you to leave asshole."

"Look, I've fought him before, and after we took in his old friends, they become leaders. In what we have here. Now you put down your weapons, walk through those gates. You're one of us. We let go of all of it and nobody dies. Everyone who's alive right now, everyone's whose made it this far. We've all done worse kinds of things just to stay alive but we can still come back we're not to far gone. We get to come back. I know. We all can change."

Nicole's P.O.V.~

We watched what was happening weapons in hand. Waiting for him to make the right move. Rick says his speech, and Hershel smiles knowing he taught Rick that kindness.

Rick's P.O.V.~

"No!" the Governor said. He brought the katana down on Hershel's neck and cut his head off. Everyone up above started firing. I started running trying to get back up to the top with the others but the Governor came and brought me down and started beating the shit out of me. IO had no control, and no strength to fight back. I was such a mess. I had blood everywhere. Michonne came and saved me from dying. She came up behind him and brought the katana straight through the heart. He died instantly. Nicole, and Carl came to my side, and helped me walk. There were walkers everywhere, and we lost Michonne somewhere. We saw Judith's car seat, and we walked over to it, but didn't find Judith just blood. Rick and Carl started breaking down knowing they had lost their daughter and sister. We walked out of the prison, and up a hill with Rick telling us "Don't look back. Don't look back." And that was the very last time we saw the prison.
