.

Daryl found out about where Carol was and was fuming.

He went to talk to dad.

I was up in the watchtower on watch duty

.

I looked out and saw a tank and 6 cars.

Suddenly the tank shot at us.

The Governor stood on the tank.

I groaned annoyed.

Governor " Rick! Come out here! We need to talk."

Me " fuck"

Dad " It's not up to me. There's a council now. They run this place. "

Governor " is Hershel on the council?"

Hershel came out of a car.

Governor " or Michonne ? She on the council too? what about Kendall?"

Then she got out of the car.

the tank was aimed at the watchtower i was in.

my stomach dropped.

Dad shook his head " I don't make decision anymore"

Governor " you're making the decisions today, Rick. Come down here. Let's have that talk. "

Michonne and Hershel were on their knees facing us.

I have to get down there without being shot.

Dad then walked on the field but stopped by the fences.

Suddenly the Governor cut Hershel's head off with Michonne's katana.

My jaw dropped and tears rolled down my cheek.

The gunfire started.

I quickly got out of the tower and started shooting.

Then I rushed to the others behind the fence.

Suddenly the tank drove through the fences.

Daryl yelled " Kendall?!"

I ran to him and began shooting.

Daryl " whatever happens, don't leave my side"

Walkers were coming by.

A walker came to us.

I shot it and looked around " Carl!"

dad was on the field getting his ass kicked by the Governor.

I ran to them on the field.

Michonne stabbed the Governor from behind.

Dad was coughing and bloody on the floor " where's Carl and Ken?"

Me "I don't know where Carl is. "

Michonne and I helped Dad up.

She let go of Dad.

We walked back to the prison.

Dad " Carl!"

I yelled " Carl!"

Walkers came to us. But they were shot down by Carl.

He ran to us and hugged us.

Me " where's Judith?"

We walked to Judith's baby maxi cosi but she wasn't In there.

My stomach dropped.

Dad began to cry.

Carl started shooting at walkers..

Dad " Carl! Carl"

Then he hugged him from behind.

Carl began to cry.

I shook my head in tears.

Dad sobbed " we need to go"

We left the prison.

No one was there. The others left. I couldn't find Daryl.

We were walking on a street.

Carl and I on the front. Dad behind.

Dad " Carl, Ken, slow down."

I slowed down but Carl ignored him.

Dad " Carl, stop!"

Carl stopped.

Dad " we need to stay together. We got to find a place with food, supplies."

He put a hand on Carl's shoulder.

Carl gave him and WTF look.

Dad " We're gonna be...."

Carl just kept walking.

I sighed.

.

We came past a biker bar.

Dad " wait outside. Keep watch"

Carl " You keep watch. You can barely stand. I'm not gonna let you go in there just with Ken. "

Dad looked pissed at Carl but he was right " excuse me?"

Me " knock it off., Both of you!"

They looked at me.

Me " let's go"

Dad opened the door. I took my knife out. We walked through it and made everything clear.

Behind a wall of tables and chairs was standing a big walker.

Me " shit"

Dad looked at the shelfs behind it " That might be all that's left."

Carl " I can get it from here"

He pointed the gun and it's head.

Dad shook his head " no. No it's weak. I'll drow it out. Stay back"

Carl and I rolled our eyes.

Dad smashed the wall and the big walker came out.

Then he rammed is ax in its head but nothing.

Carl shot it.

Dad snapped " I said not to"

Carl " You couldn't do it with the ax"

Dad " I had it. Every bullet counts. We'd have needed that one later. See what you can find. Then let's move on"

We grabbed every food that was there put it in a bag and then we left.

We started walking again

---

We came past a house.

Dad was starting to call us but we ignored him.

Dad " That one's as good as any."

We walked to it.

Carl took his gun out.

Dad " quick and quiet. We nee-"

I just walked inside.

They followed me and closed the door.

I walked upstairs.

Dad " Kendall!"

Carl " let her. All doors down here are open"

He suddenly hammered against a wall " Hey, asshole! Hey, shit face! Hey-"

Dad yelled " watch your mouth!"

Carl " Are you kidding me? If there's one of them down there, they would have come out. "

We walked into the he kitchen.

There wasn't much but enough for us.

Carl was tying the door shut.

Dad walked to the sofa and tried to move it in front of the door.

Carl " I tied the door shut"

Dad " we don't need to take any chances"

Carl raised an eyebrow " You don't think it will hold?"

Dad sighed " Carl - "

Carl " It's a strong knot. Clove hitch. Shane taught me. Remember him?"

Dad nodded " yeah. I remember him.i remember him every day. There something thing else you want to say to me?"

Then he looked at me " or you?"

Me " well, now that you're asking...."

Dad looked at me surprised.

Me " they could be dead by now. All of them. And if that's the case then that's on you"

Dad " Ken-"

I raised my hand " no! We told you to hunt him down but you didn't do it. "

Dad " Enough, Kendal"

I shook my head " no. If you wanna move this sofa in front of the door. I won't stop you. I'm gonna lay down. Adios"

Dad yelled " Kendall!"

I walked upstairs.

Dad screamed " Kendall, get the hell down here!".

I woke up because of Carl.

Carl " eat"

He gave me a bowl of cereals before walking downstairs "Kendall!"

I ran downstairs.

Carl was kneeling next to dad with a wet towel on Dad's forehead.

I leaned against the door frame " What's with him?"

Carl " He isn't waking up"

Then he began to shake dad " wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

He stopped screaming as we heard something on the door " I got this"

Me " C-"

Carl " please "

I gave in and nodded.

He then took the backdoor out.

I kneeled down next to dad " listen here, dad. You have to wake up. Now. Carl needs you. We've lost enough already. You got us into this shit and you are gonna get us out of this. So wake the fuck up!"

I slapped him across the face.

Carl came back.

Me " How many?"

Carl " two and then three. I lured them away. I killed them. "

He looked at dad " I saved you. I saved you. I didn't forget while you had us playing farmer. I still know how to survive. Lucky for us. I don't need you anymore"

I warned " Carl"

Carl " I don't need you to protect me anymore. I can take care of myself and so can Kendall. You probably can't even protect us anyways. You couldn't protect Judith"

I stood up " Carl"

Carl " You couldn't protect..."

He sighed" Hershel or Maggie or Glenn. Michonne, Daryl, or mom. "

Me " Carl"

Carl " You just wanted to plant vegetables. You just wanted to hide. He knew where we were and you didn't care!. You just hid behind those fences and waited for.."

He sighed again " They are all gone now. Because of you!they counted on you! You were their leader!"

Carl sat down on the ground and sniffled.

I sat down next to him.

Carl " but now you're nothing. "

He let a few tears fall.

Carl stood up " I'd be fine if you died"

Then he left with a bag.

I sighed.

Carl came back.

I was lying on the floor next to dad.

Carl shook me. I looked at him and he nodded at dad's hand. It was moving.

Suddenly he began to snarl.

Carl and I crawled away.

Dad moved his arm.

Carl took his gun out and aimed at him.

Dad rolled of the couch. He reached out for us.

Carl started to sob.

Dad's hand fell on Carl's foot.

Carl dropped the gun and cried on my shoulder " I can't. I can't. I was wrong. Just do it. "

Suddenly dad whispered " Carl. Ken. Don't go outside. Stay safe. "

I breathed out relieved.

Carl put dad's head on his lap " i'm scared. I'm scared"

I put a hand on his shoulder " we all are "

.

Dad, Carl and I leaned against the sofa.

Dad " you shouldn't have risk it, going out there like that. It's dangerous. You should've went with Kendall. "

Carl " I was careful."

Dad " It's good that you found more food. "

Carl " I found even more.but I ate it."

Me " And what?"

Carl " 112 ounces of pudding"

I hit hit his shoulder " without me?"

He chuckled.

Dad chuckled too.

THen he sighed " I know we'll never get things back to the he way they used to be. "

Carl " what?"

Dad "I only clung to that for you. For Ken. For Judith. Now she's gone. And you you're a man, Carl. You're a man. I'm sorry. "

Carl shook his head " You don't need to be."

Dad took a sip of his water.

Suddenly we heard a knock on the door.

Dad went to open it careful.

Suddenly he chuckled.

Carl asked onfused" what?"

Dad smirked " It's for you two"
