I Can't Put My finger On It, But You're The One.

14. Barns and Accidents

Rosabeth's POV

I have my gun out and now it's trained on the barn. All the walkers come out slowly and Shane shoots the one Rick's holding. Rick just drops the snare. I keep the gun trained on the barn killing the walkers that trickle out. After they all are out we wait a few minutes. And one last one comes out. Sophia. Carol runs over and Daryl keeps her back. Rick walks over and shoots her in the head. Everyone looks distraught. I'm still starting at the barn. I hear more growling and see another come out, but it's familiar.

"Kasey? Baby?" I say my aim falters for a second and everyone stares at me. I walk up and raise my gun to where her head is. "I'm sorry sunshine, auntie loves you." I say crying. I shoot her and she falls. I fall with her and cry over her. Half my hair is behind my ear the other half is hanging down. Rick walks over and kneels down beside me.

"Who is she?" He asks softly. I turn to look at him. "This was my sister's daughter. I took her in, after Bradley, when my sister and her girlfriend got into drugs, she was ten when I got in the car accident, she would be eleven now." I say pushing a strand of hair out of her face. I feel someone place their hand on my shoulder and look up to my left.

"Hey everything alright?" Glenn asks. I nod, not trusting my voice right now. I pick her top half up while still sitting and just sit there staring at her.

Flashback

I walk down the schools hall, looking for room 120 to get Kasey. I loved Kasey like she was my own. Kristen and her girlfriend, Vickie, found Kasey at the adoption center when she was only seven. Kristen and Vickie got into drugs when Kasey was eight. I open the door to room 120 and walk to the teacher, Mrs. Smith.

"Hey Carrie, I need Kasey, there's a family emergency." I say smiling sadly. I look to the kids in the room and see Kasey in the middle.
"Kasey, we need you to pack your stuff, your going home." Carrie, or Mrs. Smith, says. Kasey gets her stuff and walks to me happily. I smile down at her and mess her hair up slightly. She smiles up at me and shakes her head at me. We walk out of the classroom and walk to the entrance of the school.

"Auntie Rose, what happened?" Kasey asks me.

"You're going to stay with me for a little bit while your moms get back on track. They got into some very bad stuff and they aren't fit to care for you right now, you'll be living with me for a while." I say smiling sadly. She nods, tearing up a little. I kneel down and hug her. Whispering that it's going to be okay.

Flashback over

Everyone is still huddled by the barn. I get up and walk backwards, away from Sophia, the barn, and Kasey. I walk over to Dale and he hugs me while we look around. Me and Dale became close when Sophia first went missing. Beth runs over to a female walker and turns them over, the walker grabs her and some of us run to help. Glenn pries the walker away from Beth and Andrea kills the walker. Everyone starts to walk away and Shane speaks up.

"We've been out. We've been combing these woods looking for her and she was in there all along? You knew." Shane says walking up to the Greene family. Maggie tells Shane to leave them alone. Rick tries to stop Shane and Shane just shrugs him off. Shane keeps going on about how Hershel knew and Hershel says he doesn't. Hershel wants us off his land.

~~~Time skip~~~

We had a service for Sophia, Kasey, and Shawn. Carol didn't even go to her own daughters service. Beth is in major shock. Hershel is lost, we found out that he went to a bar. Me, Rick, and Glenn are going to get Hershel. I grab my bow, gun and knife. I get in the pickup with Glenn and Rick. On the way there Glenn says that Maggie said she loves him. "She doesn't mean it. I mean she can't. I mean--she's confused or upset." Glenn says to us.

"I think she's smart enough to know what she's feeling." Rick says. I tune out and think of everyone we lost, everyone I lost, even before the outbreak. I tune back in when we stop. Glenn says he knows about Lori being pregnant. I open my door, acting like I didn't hear it. We get to the door and Rick goes in first, me following. Rick says Hershel's name and Hershel asks who's with him.

"Rosabeth and Glenn." Rick says to him. Hershel asks if Maggie sent him and I go behind the bar and grab a drink. Good a time as any. I sip on the alcohol and tune everyone out. I start to think of all the happy memories I've had with everyone I knew and know now. I tune back in when I hear a new voice.

"Son of a Bitch, they're alive." I look to the door and see two men standing there.
