Apocalyptic Love

Tiger- Chapter 27

After Leslie had gotten Vanessa settled in and got her, her own room. Leslie then offered if she wanted to go see a friend of theirs, Vanessa kindly took up on that offer and followed her to the hospital. Carl joined them after he had finished loading the guns. They arrived at Marie's room, Blake was already in there holding her hand. When he saw Carl, he greeted him by doing that handshake guys always do. Leslie was watching Marie, making sure her breathing was doing well and her pulse was still going. Blake would now stay there day and night, he told Marie that Enid had kissed him, she wasn't so happy, she wanted to kill Enid and I honestly don't blame her. They were all surrounding Marie's bed, she didn't wake up until hours later, everyone had already left by then, she already knew she was gonna see everyone again tomorrow, so she wasn't so worried.

All the kids were going their separate ways. Carl was going to join the guys later in playing basketball. Maybe some football too. He decided to be with his girlfriend and his little sister. Judith was painting with her hands on the front porch of their dad's house. Carl hopped on the porch and Judith looked at him and started clapping and laughing. She had blue paint on her hands from finger painting, she was just drawing scribbles for now, just splattering paint all over the paper. Leslie hopped onto the porch as well and started finger painting with Judith. Judith was giggling and put some blue paint on Leslie's face as a sign that she was having fun. Leslie wiped a little bit of blue paint off of her cheek and put some on Carl. Carl laughed and started painting with them. Judith said "Tigey" Leslie tilted her head and said "Tiger? Where?" Carl was just as confused. Judith said "With daddy and kingy." Leslie says "King?' Carl understands now and says "Ezekiel. He is the king of Alexandria, where we used to visit, we stayed there for a long time, he is the king of that town." Leslie says "Oh, the king, I just call him Ezekiel. I heard he has a vicious animal, I guess it's a tiger then." Carl says "Judith has answered our question." Carl then takes Judith inside to wash her hands and then he leaves carrying her. Leslie follows cause they really wanna see this tiger. Ezekiel wasn't in the tent, but they heard roars coming from a cage. Sky and Mochi were scratching the door where the roars were coming from. Carl put Judith down on the floor and opened the door. There sat Shiva, she was locked in the cage, Carl put his hand on the cage and Shiva smelled his hand. Sky and Mochi walked up to the cage and started sniffing Shiva. Shiva licked Carl's hand and then started sniffing the pets. Sky was acting brave toward the large animal. Shiva then meowed, she couldn't lick them. Carl unlocked the cage and Shiva slowly walked out. Sky and Mochi continued to sniff her. Carl says "I guess she liked me." Shiva walked over to Leslie and sniffed her and nuzzled her hand. Leslie laughs and pets Shiva's head softly, not wanting to anger her. Shiva meowed at Judith and Judith walked over to her petting her nose. Shiva laid down and Judith hopped on top of her. Carl said "Careful now." Shiva then slowly stood up and walked around with her, Leslie and Carl followed, one on the right and one on the left making sure Judith wouldn't fall.

 They played with Shiva for like an hour until she had to get back into her cage and the teens had to leave. Judith was waving bye at Shiva the whole time. Leslie locked up her cage again and whispered something to Shiva which made her roar, I guess answering her. Leslie smiled and then walked off holding Judith's hand, Judith still waving bye at the tiger. Carl and Leslie continued to finger paint with Judith. Lia and Hiro stopped by. Lia hopped onto the porch and Hiro who was getting more comfortable around Carl said "Dude, the guys told me to tell you if you was gonna come" Carl looked at Hiro and nodded his head. Carl kissed Leslie's cheek and tickled Judith as a goodbye. He then walked off, Lia and Leslie were on the porch talking, Judith falling asleep on Leslie's lap. 

Negan has been observing Leslie's behavior with walkers, people who were dangerous, animals, kids, killing. She was pretty good at all of that, he had decided that maybe she was the one. She had to be, it would break everyone's heart to see such a famous teen go, but Negan had to do something to protect his community. 

THE END
