Forever and ever (sequel to the redneck has feelings?)

Liar

Ricks pov

its been about a week since we last saw daryl. The twins have asked about him a lot, but less frequently lately. Maggie and Beth did a good job of keeping them distracted. We had set up camp for the night. We were farther down in the highway and on our way to fort mason now. I didn't know how I felt about it, but I had no other option right now. Food was running scarce seeing that our two best hunters were now gone. I kept the twins always in my sights. They may be the last thing I have of her, especially since elaina is a spitting image of her mom. Every time she looked at me I got an ache In my heart. She had to be alive. Carl is still upset, but he's been helping with the twins as well along with Judith. We came to a house where we decided we'd stay tonight. Everyone picked their spots and I put Judith to bed and went downstairs where I would fall asleep on the couch.

i was patrolling the hallways of this old house we were staying in tonight. 2 more days max till we reached fort mason. Daryl still hadn't come back with kayla and I knew he wouldn't. She was dead. I sighed and leaned up against the wall shaking the hurt from my heart. That's when I heard Connor and elaina in the room across from me. I peaked in to make sure they were ok and I heard them talking.

"You think we're ever gonna see mommy or daddy again?" Elaina whispered.

"yea they are brave" Connor whispered back.

I rolled my eyes and was about to walk away when something caught my attention. Around Elainas neck was a necklace. It was Kayla's locket! I opened the door and stormed up to her. I don't know why it made me so mad, but it did. They both jumped and then calmed down once they saw it was just me.

"Where did you get that?" I asked pointing to the locket.

elaina smiled and picked it up with her hand,"mommy gave it to me"

"why?" I spat.

"she said she wanted me to protect it" she whispered clearly taken back by my tone with her.

i just looked back down at the necklace. I had to fight every urge in my body not to rip it off her neck. I just grunted and turned to leave when a small hand grabbed mine,

"uncle Carl?"

i turned and saw connor. His eyes wide and whimpering,"do you know when they are coming back?"

"ya, they've been gone a long time." Elaina said.

i looked at the two kids pissed off. didn't they see what was going on here!

"they ain't." I grunted.

elaina gasped and Connor let go of my hand wide eyed, "but daddy said..."

i cut him off, "it doesn't matter what he said. They are both gone and aren't coming back! They are dead!so get the thought out of you mind that you'll ever see them again cause you won't!"

elaina started crying and Connor ran up and hugged her. I was breathing heavily and instantly regretted what I said. I just couldn't hold it in anymore and unfortunately these two were in the line of fire. I just turned and walked away out of the hallway. I couldn't look at them right now. I leaned up against the wall, sighed, and reached into my pocket and pulled out the picture of us 3. I starred down at kayla and felt a tear escape my eyes. I quickly wiped it and whispered,

"Forever and ever huh? Liar"

i crumpled up the picture with my hand and walked downstairs seeing my dad alreAdy asleep on the couch. I opened the door and threw the wadded up picture outside and closed the door again. I couldn't control how angry I was. I walked up to the couch where dad was and sat on the floor beside it. I brought my knews up to my face and finally just cried.
