''Lizzie, you have to understand what they are'' Carol said

''The walkers are dangerous'' I knew it was no use, Carol could try, but my sister was messed up, she would never get it

''I know what they are, but I don't understand why we have to kill them'' Lizzie said 

''You're so stupid'' I said 

''They are not people! They want to kill you, they want to kill all of us!'' I yelled 

''You don't get it Mika!'' Lizzie said, ''They're not like that!'' 

''Calm down Lizzie, look at the flowers okay?'' Carol said

Lizzie nodded and after a few seconds walked away towards the prison 

''She will never understand Carol'' I said, ''I'm going to go see Judith'' 

Carol nodded 'Yeah, go ahead Mika, i'll check on Lizzie''

''Can you pass me Judys bottle?'' Beth asked me

''Yeah, here you go'' I said and handed her Judiths bottle and a blanket

''You seem upset, do you want to talk about it?'' Beth asked me 

''Lizzie''

''Did you guys fight or something? Cause I know how sisters can be, especially older sisters'' She said, could I tell Beth? What if she told everybody my sister was nuts? 

''Really? Do you and Maggie ever fight?'' 

''Yeah, sometimes, but we always make up'' She said and smiled ''So you didn't tell me about what happened with Lizzie''

''Beth, if I tell you then you can't tell anybody I told you, not Carol, not anybody, okay? Promise me, Beth, I trust you'' I told her

''Okay Mika, I promise, cross my heart'' Beth told me

''Lizzie is insane, she thinks the walkers are people too, she feeds them! She will kill people, she doesn't care, she will kill anybody that isn't a walker, it doesn't matter to her, she is messed up'' I said, 

''Wow, did you try to talk to her about it? Who else knows about it?''

''Carol, but she doesn't understand it either,  Beth please don't tell anybody, no matter how much I try Lizzie won't listen''

''She could be a danger to the group, we could help Lizzie''

''No Beth, it won't help, you promised'' 

''Okay, I won't but tell me this, did she kill Karen and David?''

''No, she didn't, but she would if she had wanted to''

''Mika, just promise me this, tell me if she gets worse, if she gets too dangerous''

''I promise Beth, thank you for not telling, i'm glad I could finally trust somebody enough to tell them, thank you'' I hugged her and held Judiths hand

''Hope I wont regret this later'' Beth said quietly

''I hope so too''
