No One's Point of View
"Carl, let me in bud." Alita called spotting the boy leaning against the wall outside one of the cells eating the candy she gave him earlier before he jogged over to her, unlocking the door.
"Don't worry the guys have the prisoners handled. How's Hershel?" Alita asks the young boy.
"They stopped the bleeding, but he still hasn't woken up." Carl answered and she nodded at him.
"He's one tough man, he'll wake up soon." Alita reassured, noticing the worry on the young boy's face before she quickly climbed the stairs to her and Daryl's bed.
She opened her backpack trying to see if she had antibiotics or painkillers in there before she made her way back down the stairs over to the cell everyone was crowding around.
"Hey, I found some antibiotics, it should prevent him from getting an infection and some painkillers, they won't do much now but when he wakes up he'll be grateful." Alita said softly, walking into the cell.
Lori and Carol were crouched down in front of Hershel who was lying on the bed. Maggie, Beth, and Glenn were standing by the wall behind them, watching.
"Thank you, Alita." Carol said with a soft smile as Alita handed her a couple of the tablets before she looked down at Hershel.
Alita stayed with them for a while, not knowing what to do. She hated feeling helpless, but there was nothing she could do for her father figure she had. Later on Carl asks Alita if she was alright, she softly smiles at him, nodding at him.
"Is Hershel you dad...?" Carl asks Alita.
"Carl... Hershel is a friend of mine's step-father... Remember me mentioning Shawn one day on the farm...?" Alita asks Carl as he nodded.
"Shawn and his family were family friends... But whenever this all started... I was with them remember... Since that day Hershel and the rest of the Greenes took me in as their own... We may not be blood related, but we are still family..." She responds, as Carl nods, but still looked confused at her.
"So no he isn't my dad, but... He has always been a father figure for me for the longest time... He took me in after I told him what happened to my family in Florida... And I'm grateful, while Maggie, Beth, and I have grown close to each other like sisters." Alita starts to explain to the young boy.
"I'll always love those three and I'm sure they love me... What I'm trying to say is that family doesn't end with blood... It doesn't even start there either... Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. Family's there with the good, the bad, all of that, but they always got your back. Even when it hurts... That's family." Alita continued.
(Author/Red: Does anyone know the reference I made during that? Yes? No? Okay...)
"Maggie and Beth are like my sisters. I love them to death. Hershel is like my dad in a way and I love him... And I will always will. This group is apart of that family as well, ever since you guys got to the farm." Alita says smiling a little, Carl nods at her words, and he took that in.
"So you may not be related to them, but there your family no matter what? And so are we?" Carl asks Alita, and she nods at him smiling. Glenn looks stares her a bit surprised on what he heard from her, he didn't know she could had words of wisdom like Dale...
Soon Maggie and Beth were walking towards Alita smiling, tearing up a bit having heard her words, and they hugged her and Alita hugs both of them back tearing up a little bit. Once they let go of each other Maggie and Beth smiles at her once again, as Alita holds there hands as they went towards Hershel.
"Can you describe everyone in the group Alita... You know... What they are to you like how you described Maggie, Beth, and Hershel...?" Carl asks the young lady, and she nods as she took a step away from the group around Hershel to once again talk to the young boy. After Alita explains to him about what she thought about the group, the boy nods at her.
"You really do believe in us? Even if we did come from different backgrounds" He asks her and she smiles and nods at him.
"I do, and yes even if we all do come from different backgrounds. I still believe in us." Alita says to him, later Maggie comes up to the two to talk to Alita.
"You love all of us Alita?" She asks her sister figure. Alita nods smiling at her sister figure.
"I wouldn't trade anything in the world for the family I have here and you know that Maggie." Alita replies to her smiling. Maggie looks at her smiling at her and they hold each others hand and the three of them went by Hershel's cell watching over him, once again.
"Foods here. Canned beef, canned corn, canned cans." T-Dog's voice shouted as Alita walked from the cell to find him and Rick walking in, arms full of food, but no Daryl.
"Where's Daryl?" She quickly questioned walking over to Rick, who nodded over his shoulder towards the door he just came from.
"In that room with the prisoners. We're gonna get some weapons and help them clear out a cell block." Rick answered.
She nodded and with that she made her was towards the door, not liking the thought of Daryl being alone with the five of them, especially with the leader.
