Always My Little Girl

Expect the Unexpected

Me, and Carl hangs out on the stairs. Carl is fixing his gun, and I'm hitting the ground with my knife. After, a while Lori, and Beth comes in with crutches, "All right. Just take your time." Lori says as Me, and Carl stands by Hershel's cell.

"Daddy, don't push yourself." Beth says to Hershel.

"What else am I going to do? I can't stand looking up at the bottom of that bunk." Hershel says getting up with the help of Lori and Beth.

"Whoa." Beth says as she keeps Hershel steady.

"You know? I can go pretty steady." Hershel says feeling out the crutches.

"That's a good start. Want to take a rest?" Lori says.

"Rest? Let's go for a little stroll." Hershel says walking out of the cell to go outside.

"I got you here if you need it." Lori says as we get outside.

"Just take your time on these steps." Beth says as we start going down the stairs.

"You cleared all those bodies out? It's starting to look like a place we could really live in." Hershel says as we get to the bottom of the stairs.

"Hey, you watch your step. Last thing we need is you falling." Lori says to Hershel.

"All right, Hershel!" Glenn yells.

"You're doing great, Daddy." Beth says.

"Ready to race, Hershel?" Carl says.

"Give me another day. I'll take you on." Hershel says to Carl, and we all laugh We had a moment of silence to see what we had accomplished.

"Walkers! Look out!" Carl yells, and Beth picks me up, and runs to a nearby gate with Hershel.

"Daddy, behind you! Come on!" Beth says as Hershel pushes a walker down with his crutches, and closes the gate behinds him, with Hershel crutches.

I hear T-Dog say, "That gate is open!"

"Lori! Here!" Maggie yells to Carl, and Maggie. There was a lot of yelling and we see T-Dog get bit and go his seperate way with Carol.

"What the hell happened?" Rick says coming in the prison.

"The gate was open!" Beth says frantically.

"Where's Lori, Carl-- everyone else?" Rick shouts.

"Maggie led Lori and Carl into C block." Hershel says pointing to the door.

"And T was bit!" I added. 

"Anyone else?" Rick questions.

"I couldn't tell." Beth answers.

"Stay put." Rick says shooting the walker.

"What's that?" I asked Beth coving my ears.

"Oh-- you gotta be kidding me!" Dad says.

"Daryl! Kill it!" Rick says as they shoot the alarms. "Back up! How the hell could this be happening?" Rick says as Beth pulls me back. 

"Whoa-whoa-whoa! It has to be the backup generators." One of the prisoners say as Rick points a gun at them.

"Well, how do you turn those on?" Rick asked lowering his gun.

"There's three that's connected to a diesel tank, okay? Each one controls a certain part of the prison. The hatch shut them all off when the prison was overrun." the prisoner continued.

"Can someone open up the main gates electronically - with full power?" Rick yells in his face.

"I only went in a few days. I guess it might be possible." the prisoner says frantically. 

"Come with us!" Rick says grabbing the prisoner shirt and running inside.

"Hershel!" Rick says running back to us.

"You didn't find them?" Hershel says to them.

"We thought maybe they came back out here." Glenn says, and we all shook our heads no.

"What about T? Carol?" I asked standing by Beth.

"They didn't make it." Dad says, and I try not to cry.

"That doesn't mean the others didn't. We're going back. Daryl and Glenn, you come with--" Rick starts, and we hear a baby crying, and see Carl, and Rick come to us crying. "Where-- where is she? Where is she?" Rick says about Lori, and Dad comes by me, and picks me up.

"No Rick, no!" Maggie says holding Rick back from going into C block, and I start crying.

"Oh, no. No! No! No!" Rick says dropping to the floor.
