Together ~ A Carl Grimes Fanfiction

Chapter Twenty-Six

Kaitlyn's POV

I wake up with my head on Carl's chest. I lay there for a while, listening to his heartbeat and his soft snores, my fingers trace his scar on his rib cage. "Hi beautiful," he says when he wakes up. We lay there, our fingers interlaced. Michonne comes in to the room.

"Alright, lovebirds. Break it up!" We giggle and stumble out of bed.

"Michonne, what are you wearing?" Carl asks.

"My new shirt. I think it suits me. Don't you like it?" says Michonne. Carl laughs. He heads downstairs while I stay back to get changed. I wear the same skinny jeans as yesterday and I put on a loose plaid shirt. Carl's. My mum comes in just as I tuck my weapons into their usual places. "We're going on a run today. Michonne and Carl, you and I." she states. She still seems upset. Who could blame her. She lost her little girl who she almost died for on multiple occasions.

Sammy's POV

I fell into a deep sleep and don't wake until late. I go into the kitchen to find Griselda Gunderson lying on the table and Mika is nowhere to be seen. Neither is Carol, Tyreese, Lizzie or Judith. Weird, I think to myself, but I shrug it off. I decide to have a breakfast of pecan nuts. Well, it's more of a default than a decision. My loose plait is falling out so I re-do it. When I have changed and cleaned myself up, I look out of the window. First, I see Judith, then Lizzie talking to Mika. She doesn't look too happy. She gets right up into Mika's face, her own face contorted with rage. Suddenly, Lizzie takes her knife from her belt, and plunges it into Mika's stomach. Mika slumps to the ground, screaming in agony. "No!" I cry as I burst out of the door. Lizzie spins around, glaring at me.

"What are you doing out here?" she screams at me. "Shut up or you're next." She sinks her knife into Mika's chest and I sit there in horror. I can't take it anymore and I draw my gun on her. She stops and stands, hands up. I dive to Mika, who is gurgling, with blood at the corners of her mouth. She wheezes as her chest rises. She brings her hand up to my cheek and the blood on her hand smears on my face. Mika's chest falls one last time, and the light leaves her eyes. I close them with my thumb and first finger. I hear footsteps in the distance, and then everything goes black.

Before my eyes even open, I hear voices. Carol, Tyreese and Lizzie. Carol's voice whispers and it's unfocused so I can't understand what she's saying. "Judith can change too." I hear Lizzie say in an earnest tone.

"She can't even walk yet." Carol says quietly. I sit up to see that I'm right beside Mika's lifeless body. Tyreese sneaks a glance at me. I nod. I pick up a bit of wood that's nearby. Then I walk as quietly as I can, tiptoeing. I ready myself. While Lizzie is in mid-sentence, I hit her on the back of the head with the piece of wood. She crumbles to the ground, unconsciousness taking over.

"It's over." I say.
