Too Far Gone // Carl Grimes

Chapter 27

COMMENT and VOTE

Carl and I finished cooking and then passed the food to everyone. I sit down in between Clem and Beth, beginning to eat the soup.

"See Dad. We didn't need your help," Carl smirks at Rick. He looked actually happy. It was nice to see Carl happy again.

His smirk made me smile, I look at my Dad, who was already looking in my direction with a small smile. Everyone looked happy, until Michonne asked a question.

"Are we moving on? To look for the group?" She questions.

All the talking at the table quiets down, and all eyes are on Rick.

Even Luke's group could feel the tension, cause they all followed our gaze to Rick.

Rick sighs quietly, setting his plastic fork down in his bowl.

"Does anyone have a map?" He asks, looking around the room.

I raise my hand, so does Alvin in Luke's group. Rick smiles lightly, "Good. I think we should split into two groups. Some will be staying here. We meet back here before sundown. We'll tell our findings when we get back." Rick informs.

A silence falls over the group, most of us deep in thought.

"Tomorrow we'll start. Daryl, Carl, Michonne, and Tailynn. Luke, Carlos, Clementine, and Nick." Rick adds.

The silence following that is broke by the sound of forks being hit against glass plates.

"Whats up Clem?"  Beth asks, a laugh bubbling out. I look over to them and see Clementines face all scrunched up. "That sound is so annoying." She rolls her eyes, chuckling. The group shares a laugh and we all continue eating.

"It isn't what you couldn't do, it's what you didn't do. You could have saved her, and you could still had her sitting next to you." My Mama snarls.

I take a step back, looking around the area.

White. All I see is white, and Mama in front of me. Except this woman isn't my mother.

She's a monster.

I grit my teeth together, holding the sleeves of my jacket in my hands. "She was Too Far Gone. I couldn't help her." I snap.

"That's what you tell yourself. To keep your humanity alive. None of us are alive. this is all a lie. Humanity. Life. Death is all around you. We're all Monsters here Tailynn. You're a monster." The woman sneers.

"Look. I'm sorry Rebecca is gone. I truly am. She was my best friend after all. But what she did, or what - that man did. Was not my fault. I'm surviving. She couldn't. She wasn't meant for this hell. And apparently neither were you." I say, pulling my bottom lip In between my teeth as my eyes start to burn.

My mother's eyes become watery as she steps forward. Her short frame is right in front of mine before she speaks. Her eyes darken, turning completely black, creating the tears spilling from her eyes solid black. My breathing stops as she speaks the last words, "You're a Monster." She growls agaib before her body disolves in front of me.

I slowly reach a hand in front of me, waving it around where my mother had once stood. She was completely gone. I was now left alone in the blank area.

"Hell-Hello?" I ask quietly, my voice shake and small. I feel warm tears start to roll down my cheeks as the last words of my mother repeat in my head.

I reach up and wipe the tears off my face, wiping them off on my shirt. I continue to wipe them off until I finally give up, looking down to my feet. My eyes scan over my shirt and blood is smeared all over it. I gasp slightly, looking down at my hands and gasping again.

But these were my.. tears? I look back up, a mirror sits in front of me now. I gasp once again at my reflection. My cheeks were streaked with blood, my tears replaced by the red substance. I set both my hands on my cheeks, feeling them. I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out as I jerk awake.

I scream as I wake up, jumping back, my arms holding myself up. I look around the living room to see all eyes on me. The fire was lit in the fireplace and the sound was beautiful. I reach up quickly and wipe my tears, looking down at my hands to make sure it's the familiar clear liquid. I sigh quietly and push myself up, turning on my heel and quickly making my way up the stairs.

I make my way down the hallway.

Where are you going? You have no room here, besides, you can't run from this. This is you. The monster.
