Just Hold On - Daryl Dixon (TWD)

3.

*Maggie's POV*

"Hey do you see that?" Glenn asked me as he looked out of the window in the guard tower. I could hear the sound of tires bumping along the dirt and gravel road.

I stood up from the cold cement floor and grabbed the binoculars from him.

"Do you think it's the Governor?" I asked in a shaky voice.

Andrea had shown up today and although she seemed to be alone, there was always a lingering fear that she could have put us in danger.

"I don't think so. Why would he only bring one vehicle? It doesn't make any sense," he trailed off, shaking his head slowly.

I looked at him one more time before he nodded at me, which was my signal to go inform Rick and the other that someone was here.

I ran down the stairs of the guard tower and slammed the door open. Racing across the courtyard and into Cell Block C as fast as I could manage. When I finally got in there, my little sister Beth was singing to the group. Everyone either standing to the side or sitting down around a few candles. My eyes scanned the room quickly before landing on Rick who was holding his newborn daughter Judith up on the second floor.

I had slammed the door open pretty loudly which got the attention of everyone in the room. I took a second to catch my breath; the feeling of adrenaline still coursing through my body.

"Maggie? You okay?" My dad asked. Everyone gave me a concerned look, some even reaching for their weapons.

My eyes went back to Rick's quickly as I managed to say, "there's a truck coming in."

That got everyone's attention and before I could even blink, Rick had given Judith to Carl and everyone had their weapons ready. Beth, Carl, Judith and Carol stayed behind while the rest of us ran back outside to join Glenn as quickly as possible.

A girl with long brown hair had stepped out of the trucks drivers side with her hands up. She looked to be around 30 but she still looked quite good for her age. She had blood and tear stains covering her cheeks as she stuttered quietly to Glenn. There was also another person that had come out of the truck. An older gentleman who looked to be quite injured. It was probably this girl's father. He stared at her with fear in his eye. Not fear of her, but fear for her. It was easy to tell that he cared very much for the younger woman.

Upon hearing the footsteps of all of us, the girl slowly started to look away from Glenn, hers and the older mans hands still raised above their heads.

Before Rick even got a chance to get a word in, I heard a small voice from beside me.

"John? Lucia?"

*Lucia's POV*

I felt my heart start to beat rapidly. Is this real? Is she really here?

My head snapped in the direction I had heard the voice from, but before I could even process what I had heard, a small body about my height with medium length blonde hair crashed into my arms.

I wrapped my arms around her as quickly as I could; the crash had sent both of us tumbling back towards the side of the car, but it didn't bother me. Here she was. My little sister. The one I had given up any hope of finding.

Another pair of arms wrapped around the both of us and all I could hear were the sobs coming from my younger sister. I stroked her hair as a few tears fell freely from my own eyes. John held us even tighter and kissed the tops of our heads. I was the first one to release from our little reunion hug. I held Lillian's shoulders away from me so I could take a look at her. I could tell she hadn't been eating as much as she should be, but were any of us? Her face was a little more sunken in than usual and her usually vibrant blue eyes held a sadness in them. I took my thumbs and wiped her tears away as much as I could, but a couple kept slipping here and there.
