Everything Is Lost (RICK GRIMES TWDFF)

Chapter 11- Reunited

I have  no idea where we are. All i hear are the tires hitting the pavement  below and the snarls of walkers outside of this car.  And it sounds like alot. 

"What's  your names?" A female voice asks in a southern accent.

"Luke."

"Clem"

"Amia."  I say quietly.

"Your names?" Luke responds.

A male voice takes lead. "You don't  need ta know that."

  The hot air in the cloth creates  it to be stuffy.  I stop thinking about it until we are told to step out of the car. 

Im held by the arm tightly but gentle not know who it is. These people aren't  rough.  It's  like they're  use to doing this type of thing. 

"Just listen to us and youll be fine." I feel like every unknown  step i take, like im going to fall or trip.  I try to steady my muscles  from shaking but it's  a failure.  I'm  pretty sure the person controlling  me can feel it.

The sound of what seem like doors open, entering a silent  room. 

"Who the hell did you bring?" An other male voice demands for answers.  My stomach turns hoping this isn't  a all males camp and females are used for sex slaves.

I want to rip this mask off my face to see what position  I'm  in.  As thinking, the cloth comes off.  I meet with this man with piercing  blue eyes staring right into my soul.  I look away examining  the room in in.  A few tables with some people staring at us.

"Daryl, where did  you find them?" The man asks.  Im assuming he is the actuall leader. So that's  his name. Daryl. 

"Found em tryin to get in a store. Stopped them before they would be able to see us.  Brong em back. They could be part of the governor."  The leader looks at us all in the eyes Hoping  he doesn't  notice my fear. 

"Did you ask them the questions?" He asks.

"She didn't  answer the last two." The girl in the southern  accent confirms. Do i have to?

He makes eye contact with me yet another time. I try my best to stay calm but what i really want to do is cry and beg like a baby not to kill me. 

"How many people have you killed?" Like the last guy, he gets close to my face. I just look at him with  no shits given.  He asks me again but stepping even closer and yelling.

"How many people have  you killed?!"  His voice causes me to cringe and break out.

"SIX!" I break  but my voice cracks with tears streaming. I hear a little gasp from Clem and Luke who look at me terrified.  They can't  know what i did but i know it's  too late. 

"Why? And im only asking once." He says sternly.  In the room there sits an older man, a young boy, a girl with blonde hair, a girl with a katata  on her back and an older women holding a baby.

"I was alone for years until i found these two.  The people I've  come across..." i close my eyes taking a deep breath.  "It was to protect myself.  If i didn't  do what i had to do, I'd  be dead." I finish every last word looking him straight in the eye.

He breaks it by looking at all of us.

"If any of you touch my family, i will kill you." But he doesn't  look at Clem.  She's  a little girl and that has its benefits.

"Bryan!" He yells once more  which causes my heart to ache.  That name reminds me of my brother.  I try my hardest not to break. 

"What is it Rick?" I look up to where im going next but i feel as my whole world stopped.  I don't  know whether  to be cry with joy or hold it in.  There in the cell door frame stands my brother Bryan. 

"Amia..." i struggle to break free from this mans grasp but the leader wont let him.

"Let her go Rick." He seems confused  at first but he releases  me. As soon as he does, i run to my brother embracing  him in my arms. That's  when i lose it. I cry on his shoulder. 

"I thought  i lost you Amia.  I went home and you weren't  there." I cry even harder with joy and sadness.  I lost hope believing  that he was alive but I'm  proved wrong. Here my brother stands alive with no rotten skin. 

I gather myself together and wipe my tears.  I can't  say anything. Im speechless that everything  comes  out silent. 

"How do you know her?" the leader asks.

"She's  my little sister." I turn around looking at Luke, Clem then at the leader. 

"Bryan what is happening?" Another person walks in but she's  not just another person.  It's  Sky.

"Oh my God Sky." She runs to me.  I give her another bear hug as she cries at my shoulder. 

"H-how did you get out? You weren't  there when i went searching  for you." I look into her watery eyes as best i can.  All i can see is the blurry face of her. "Hid.   I didn't  know what to do. I saw mom and dad my brother  and Charlie there... Then Bryan came days after."  I hug her once more.  "You're  okay.  You're  okay." I repeat. 

I turn around seeing the entire room has been watching us.  "Bryan is she safe?"

"Of course she's  safe! I don't  know about her friends but she is for sure dude."

He looks at me and my group.  "Our council  will talk about our decisions  for the safety  of our people." Mr. Blue walks towards me 

"I'm Rick.  Rick Grimes."
