You Don't Know Me

Proof

Ella's POV

Sasha and I were on watch and saw Rachel's car. I went down to open the gate and when I did I noticed that Blake was driving and Amy was in the passenger's seat and I didn't see Rachel at all.

"Where's your mom?" I asked Blake as they got out of the car.

"She's with my dad." He told me.

"Your dad?!" I asked surprised. "But I thought..."

"We did too." Blake said. "But we found out he's a leader of a group in Augusta. She said she would get a ride back with my dad."

"Plus, they gave us supplies." Amy said as she unloaded the back of car.

She's with Blake's dad?! Who's alive?! That didn't make any sense. When I talked to her about him she told me how she never loved him and only married him because of her mother. So why would she willingly decide to stay with him.

"Hey." Sasha said snapping me out of my thoughts. "You ok?"

"Yeah...I'm fine." I told her as I climb back up and go back on watch.

===============================================================================

Later that night Sasha and I heard rustling coming from the forest. Sasha aims her sniper riffle towards the forest and a shine my flashlight in the same direction. We see a man come out from the forest and runs towards the gate panting.

"Is...is this Cliff House?" He asked while panting.

"Who wants to know?" Sasha asked.

"I'm Peter." He told us. "Blake's father."

I was a little bit skeptical about letting him in, but Sasha went down and opened the gate for him before I could say anything. After Sasha shuts the gate, Blake and Carl come running over.

"Dad, are you ok?" Blake asked.

"I...I'm fine." He said still out of breath. "Just...a little...out of breath."

"Where's mom?" Blake asked him.

"I'm sorry." Peter said as he looks up at Blake. When he does I notice tears in his eyes. "While we were driving, we got surrounded by the dead. Too many of them. Your mother she...she got out through the sunroof. She jumped in the herd and tried to lure them away. But...she didn't get far, before I watched them... I ended up abandoning the car and had to get here on foot. She sacrificed herself to save me. I'm so sorry, son."

At this point both Blake and Peter were in tears. Blake ran into his father's arms balling his eyes out. Even Carl and Sasha looked pretty devastated. But I wasn't. I wasn't even sad. If anything, I was mad. Mad that this fucker was lying straight to his son's face about his mother being dead.

===============================================================================

Within an hour or two everyone heard about what 'supposedly' happened to Rachel. Everyone was pretty upset, except for Daryl who hasn't really shown any emotion since Carol died. But I knew that Rachel wasn't dead, or even if she was it didn't go down the way Peter told us. I went to Rick's room to talk to him about it and knocked on his door.

"Um...who is it?" Rick asked through the door.

"It's Ella." I told him. "I wanted to talk to you. Can I come in?"

"Um...just give me a minute." He said.

I wait for a minute and hear a lot of moving around in there. I'm also pretty sure I heard him talking to someone. Just then Rick opens the door.
