No Turning Back

[officernotsofriendly]

theircherokeerose:

There was no way she could show her happiness. There was no way she could even feel it. Sophia was too exhausted for that and figured she would have enough opportunity to show her appreciation later. It was her fault, she shouldn’t have ran away and stayed where she was like Rick told her to do. Instead of running back to the highway she went the complete opposite way and got terribly lost. Or at least that was how she remembered the situation. 

She took big sips of the water, too bit and too fast, which made he spit out half of the substance. It didn’t seem to matter though because Rick lifted her up and carried her back to where the others were waiting for them. 

Rick continued to give the small girl water, just happy to have found her. For a while there he thought after the first forty eight hours, he’d be too late. Sooner or later a walker would have turned up and gotten her. That was what he had thought. he hadn’t wanted to believe that. He wanted to believe in a  better outcome, so he held out to hope.

“You’re safe now. I’m taking you to your mom.” Which is what he did, he returned the small girl back to Carol as soon as he touched down at the farm. he brought the girl back to her crying tear ridden mother who looked overjoyed at being reuinted with her child. This time the story had a happy ending.

"The crowd is parting... It's Moses!"

"I want to see some resumes on these guys. And don't let the one with the beak near any power tools."

Short of having no heart or being a soulless monsters, Beth couldn’t imagine anyone being capable of just walking away from such a sight un-phased. The idea of some innocent child having his or her life snatched away so soon, so unnecessarily, was unbearable. Beth had wanted to be strong for Rick, but all her emotions over the last 20 minutes had been stacking like dominos and sadly the foundation was crumbling beneath her. Thankfully, he was now being strong for her, which she was very appreciative for. Composing herself enough to focus her attention back on Rick and his injuries, Beth lets him drape an arm over her shoulders so the blonde could help him move a little faster. They did need to get out of here and it was too much of a risk to backtrack to the bus. They were on their own.

 Rick didn’t know how long he walked with Beth, it had to have been hours. They were both mindless zombies, numb to the core from pain and agony. Rick was still bleeding. He was still bleeding and bruised, exhausted and shaking down to his core. Finally after what felt like days but was only hours, they came across a house to make camp at. He limped up the steps and go to work, barricading up the house as needed.

“Should be safe for the night anyways. Rest up we’ll need to go for supplies in the morning.” He grunted moving to lay on the couch. He put his arm behind his head and grunted again, coughing up some blood. “I’m tired.”

She hummed. “Was it hard? Did you have to take a lot of tests? Do FBI agents have to do that too?” She was glad he wasn’t getting annoyed with her questions. The redhead knew she had a tendency to ask too many questions. Willow grinned for a moment before she added, “My name’s Willow by the way.” 

“It wasn’t easy by any means. There’s a fair bit of testing I suppose. I think FBI agents do that too. But I’m not positive. I know they go through schooling at Quantico. “ He tried his best to answer all her questions,. He had a son at home and she reminded him of him quite a bit, what with the questions aand everything. “Willow huh. does that make you a little tree?”

[officernotsofriendly]

"Stop it, your hurting me!"

“What were you thinking?” He said still shaking her, he was standing there after Grady, narrowly having pushed her away from the incident. “You could have died…we could be burying you right now. Did you think of Maggie of coming home? What about Judith…do you get that now? Maybe I haven’t been clear enough, we need you here…I need you here.”

keep-singingx:

“Hey..that doesn’t change how I feel about ‘ya.” she says moving over to him, Beth knew she was younger than him, hell he might even be old enough to be her dad, but that was something that didn’t bother her. It might have before but not anymore. He had Carl who was just a few years younger than her, and there was Judith whom Beth takes care of and treats her as her own. “Yer’not the only one that’s lost people Rick…I was once damaged from losing my mom and brother..” How Rick had became after losing so much didn’t make Beth think any less of him, he always kept his head up in the toughest of situations. 

Beth’s mind wanders to Maggie. how would she take it? would she accept it? Beth knew she didn’t need her sister’s approval now that she wasn’t a kid anymore but she still considered how she would react to it, “We’ll explain things to ‘em…they’ll understand…Maggie will understand..” 

He could see she wouldn’t be swayed and he was okay with that. A greedy part of him didn’t want her to be swayed of course, and it had only been the noble part of him that tried to sway her otherwise. They were both damaged, and this world had changed the both of them. They weren’t innocent any longer, and Rick knew that. He was more a tyrant not, then a police officer,  a leader among men then a  follower any longer. He made the decisions.

“Then we’ll be together.” That was one decision he made for himself that he wasnt ashamed of making any longer. Finally for once he did something for himself, and with that on his mind, he leaned down and kissed her.

Rick didn’t know that. Didn’t know that Daryl liked that about him, his sense of morality. It had been that sense of morality that went back for Merle Dixon all those years ago. It sucked to think of a world where there was no more morality. Where law and order was extinct, and that there was no more nice people. The way of the nice genuine good people was gone, replaced by lawlessness and disorder. Dead preying on humans and humans preying on humans. It spoke of dysfunction. Rick stood in step breathing heavily, his heavy footsteps padding alongside Daryl’s lighter steps. Daryl was a man of the hunt, a hunter, sleek and easy.

“We should get the ammo off the bodies of the men at least….It would be a waste.” He heaved a deep breath, still staggering about. He didn’t want to just get help, he wanted to get the ammo. Rick was a man of action and action was what he loved. Getting wounded like that had given him an adrenaline rush and it was still permeating throughout his blood stream, prompting him to action. Begging him to finish the mission. The mission was what mattered. This was why he had to take a backseat before. He didn’t think clearly when the rush of a run was fluttering in his veins.

“Nah it’d be a waste.” Came the easy baritone hiding it’s pain behind smooth breathing. Breathing in and out, taking small deep breaths. He didn’t want to go back to Hershel even as the pain flooded his chest with it’s fiery venom. “No Hershel can wait. We get the ammo first.” He continued to breathe heavy, hiding it the best he could by trying to make himself seem less out of breath and more in step with his breaths.

        Daryl could hear the pain in each breath wheezing from Rick, so accustomed to hearing the pain come from a wounded animal that hearing it from a human, a friend was enough to tell him of the man’s condition without continually making verbal checks. Daryl had always been a man of few words, beaten and assaulted by both father and brother alike for speaking out. He learned long ago to say what he needed to say in as few words as possible and not be a hassle.

        So he learned to read more than just words. Sounds, movements, steps, actions; all of it telling Daryl things words never could. Like how Rick was walking closer to him than normal, either for protection or out of a misguided need to protect when Daryl was fine. A little bruised but nothing he couldn’t handle. He wasn’t the one that had gotten shot.

        “Fine, but I’m going in first an’ if you even try anythin’ stupid I’ll shoot you myself.” He meant it, as much as Daryl had ever meant hurting someone he cared about. He was incapable of doing so but the threat was there. Trudging back through the streets, Daryl wasn’t so keen to re-visit the place where he’d killed those men so soon after fleeing. For all he knew there could be more waiting. And Rick was right, they needed the ammo, the weapons were too good to pass up.

        “You sound like shit,” he muttered as the approached the building, moving to slide his crossbow off his shoulder and into well-skilled hands as he slid back to hug the wall. The building was silent but that didn’t mean it was empty. “Y’should wait here. Cover me from the door.”

If Daryl wanted to go on in first, Rick would let him. He;d already taken a bullet today and to be honest he was pants at helping out in this condition. He didn’t know how he was going to make the weapon grab like this but he needed to . So he sucked it up, taking heavy breathes still.

“Fine then you go on first, take point on this one. I’ll just relax back here and catch my breath, cover your back.” Rick hung back on request not really needing more of a push to do so. He was just fine with this plan because it allowed him not to let on how hurt he really was.

“That’s fine I’ve got your six. I’ll be your spotter.” A reference to partnership, as snipers worked in pairs and spotted for each other, Rick was playing second fiddle to  Daryl and very much okay with it at this point. He’d see Hershel sooner rather than later, they just had to finish this run right.

Brothers In Arms

Daryl nodded and glanced down to the concrete under his boots, shuffling in place slightly. “Right or it might be worse. Hills ain’t got a lotta weaknesses or anythin’ so if we gotta take'em out, we’ll haveta use somethin’ loud to do it. Not sayin’ it ain’t an option, but we gotta be careful after all that Woodbury shit.”

He glanced around the area, noticing that a lot of the houses were mostly dark or shut completely. It didn’t make him much more comfortable talking about this out in the street, but it seemed like a good idea. No one would suspect them to do it out there like that at least.

“A'right then, I’ll do it. I’ll make sure ta get somethin’ together without Aaron askin’ too many questions. What uh… what about that woman, the surgeon’s old wife?” It was a question Daryl didn’t want to ask because he knew prying might turn Rick against him. He remembered the night after those men attacked Rick, Michonne, and Carl and didn’t think it would happen but… Daryl frowned slightly, his gaze returning to the concrete. “What about her? Are ya plannin’ on takin’ her and her kid with us? Ya seem really protective of her.”

The shadow of a feeling was swiped away without much of a thought on Daryl’s part, fidgeting with the edge of his shirt instead.

Daryl was right on point with that one. Hills didn’t have alot of weaknesses. Still even if they could join the hilltop community in a friendly manner, Maggie would probably be best at that. Daryl he would just need a his scout guy. 

“You’re mostly just scouting. Not much more than that.” He said in a offhanded sort of way. The woman. Right. Rick was a cop first and foremost. He’d seen a woman in a dangerous place and acted on instinct to keep her safe. Maybe because Jessie had reminded him of Beth and he wanted to protect her, in the way he hadn’t been able to for Beth. He didn’t want to go down that road, it brought up nothing but bittersweetness.

“Don’t worry about Jessie and her kid, that’s my problem. It was nothing more than a cop trying his best to look out for another innocent. That ain’t your problem. I’ll take care of it.”

mothergrimes:

She was breathing heavy when her husband entered the room, she knew she was no longer in a nightmare but her reality was causing her terror now. She brushed the hair out of her face as her tears continued to pierce there was down her skin. It had only been a matter of moments but she could feel her eyes swelling up from her crying. Lori took deep breaths to try and control herself so she could offer an explanation. She wasn’t even sure what kinds of things she could offer as an explanation.

Lori had experienced nightmares before but that had been her most violent one to date, not just violent because of what occurred within the dream but how it made her feel. She had never reacted like that post waking up from a dark dream. What scared her most about the dream was that most of the times with nightmares it was okay because you knew it would never happen in real life. Her nightmare could become a reality any day, she could walk outside and that could happen. She found her whole body shaking as she was unable to contain herself.

“Nightmare” was the only word she could get out at first, barely, as her voice cracked whilst saying it. Her breathing has slowed but she was still struggling to get a grip. “It was bad” She breathed out, desperately trying to gather her thoughts. “I can’t do this Rick, I can’t” tears fell heavier as she started to lose control of her emotions once again.

 Rick climbed into bed at the word Nightmare. He wanted nothing more than to help his wife, even if it was something as silly as a nightmare. Hearing her tears, he tried to console her. Cuddling up to  her, he wrapped his arms around her and held her. 

“Shh we’ll get a chance to fix whatever it is. It was just a nightmare it’s not gonna happen Lor.” He stroked her hair back and held her, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Not knowing what else he could do to comfort her. He just did what he could.

“Shh you’re safe, you’re safe. I’m here.”

"I'll be doing the laundry today, so, give me all the dirty clothes."

"What did I say about putting the dishes in the sink?"

"Didn't I say you couldn't bring anyone here?"

"...We need a bigger dorm room."

"God, why am I stuck with you?"

"Oh shit it's you!"

"We are never going to last long here in this room together."

"I'm taking the top bunk!"

"Oh no, you're taking the bottom bunk!"

"Whoever wins gets the top bunk."

"Was... was this left by the older occupants of this dorm?"

"Oh god, ew, they didn't even bother to clean the room up!"

"Would you prefer to sleep together or do you want either the top or the bottom bunk?"

mothergrimes:

What was she saying she couldn’t live with it. This child deserved a chance to try to live. Rick could never live with not giving  an innocent child a chance to live even if it was in this world. They could make that decision. Now the baby deserved to be protected to be cared about. At the end of the day they could protect it, keep it safe, and show them the good in the world.

“There’s still good in this world and I intend to show it to this baby. Maybe you can’t live with it, but you have to. It’s a child. It deserves to be born, to live it’s life. to be shown the world with open arms, given a chance to live. Yeah this world isn’t desireable but that’s my unborn child too I’m the only father he or she is going to know and I want to show them the good in this world. They can beat it they won’t know any other way,”

“I know and I understand that, theres something good but its not the good I worry about Rick” It hurt her to watch her son grow in this world. “I look at Carl and I see him smile but when his smile fades because the bad comes in, it breaks my heart. I don’t want an innocent baby to have to see that” She shook her head. They had the prison. 

“You forget you aren’t the one that has to shove this thing out of me2 She paused. “Theres no hospitals and Hershel s a vet not a doctor, we both run the risk of not surviving the birth” It was hard to explain the situation of a birth to someone who has not had a child or isn’t a woman, a lot of women could understand at least slightly how it would feel. “Either way its too late now, it’s going to come out of me whether I like it or you like it or not. We just gotta hope it makes it”

He could understand what she meant now. He'd seen it himself with Carl. The boy had become more unrestrained, more of a battle hardened warrior than a kid, he'd seen that. He didn't know how to change it. He'd tried to intervene, had even gone to get his son comics to make him more like a kid. This child wouldn't know life before, he got that. But he still saw the kid having a chance for a good life.

“We have the prison now.  You're both gonna make it and we're gonna make something of this world again/ Be a family again./ We just rebuild. Put things back together. This kid, this kid is gonna be what fixes things. Everything is going to work out. You'll see.”

“Don’t you think it’s better if you leave this place and you head somewhere else where it’s more safe? It’s not worth it. The walkers will come and take it. The thing here is to keep moving until we can find an end to this.” She told him with her arms crossed over her chest.

“Where would we even move to?” He said softly, having known such loss already that he didn’t know how to function anymore. He was numb, blind to emotion, blissfully shattered. He was a conundrum. The end was already here, there was no fixing this. “Whatever it is we all carry it , there is no end to this but death.”

Beth did a sweep of cellblock A. This was where the kids had been told to gather if ever a emergency arose. It was empty when she passed through, however walkers were slowly invading the opposite end of the block, causing Beth to double back the way she came for safety purposes. Rounding the south side of the prison, she saw a few community members had already been attacked, bitten and were already dead. She fought back the temptation to weep, to sob as it would draw unwanted attention in her direction. Beth was running up through the centre court yard when she saw him. Rick was moving around on his own strength, but he looked about ready to keel over.

Rushing to his side, the blonde hugged him tightly; “Mr. Grimes! Oh thank god, are you okay? Can you walk? We need to get ou—”. It was then when she realized what he was looking at, what he was transfixed by. Judith’s empty, bloody car seat. Beth choked back a sob and tears quickly found themselves streaming down her cheeks, this was her breaking point. Judith had always sorta felt like Beth’s daughter in a way, she took care of her the most after all.

Rick was still in the midst of his devastation when he heard footsteps. Turning he saw Beth Greene approaching. She began to speak and he looked at her hollowly, devoid of emotion. He was numb. They had lost too many people. Now Judith. Gone. Never to return. How is it they lost the two most innocent of their number in one sickening blow. Rick was distraught, but even that couldn't prepare him for what was coming.

Beth's sobs broke his heart more and he knew in that moment that she was the only person besides Carl who could understand his loss, but he didn't even know if Carl made it. Carl could be gone too and Rick would have lost all his family. He sighed heavily, and grabbed Beth by the arm hoisting her up to her feet once more. Now he had a reason to keep going.

“Come on, we have to go Beth, we have to go. Don't look back we just keep on moving.”
