Preview of Season 4 Part 4

Episode 13

We still haven't found the others, but I still have faith and hope that they're out there, unharmed and alive. Night fell and we took a break from our walk. Rick and Michonne were asleep while Carl and I took the first watch. We were sitting close to each other and the fire.

"What do you think is there? At Terminus?" I asked.

"Who knows. Signs can be misleading though," Carl pointed out.

"Good point. If it's true what they say about it being a sanctuary for all, I will definitely want to live there," I stated.

"What if it's not?" Carl wondered.

"We fight. They could lure us into a trap. It just feels too good to be true," I answered.

"Now you make a good point. I hope it's right, but like you said, it could also be a trap," Carl replied.

I scooted closer to him and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt him kiss my forehead and I smiled at his touch.

"What's the name of that song you sang to Judith?" he wondered.

"It's called 'Once Upon a December'. It's from this movie I watched when I was a kid called 'Anastasia'," I answered.

"What was it about?" Carl asked.

"This eight year old girl was the daughter of the czar of Imperial Russia. Ten years later, she lives in an orphanage with little memory of her family and who she is. The only clue she has is this necklace that says 'Together in Paris'. She goes there with the help of two men named Dimitri and Vlad. The empress, who is Anastasia's grandmother, promised to pay 10 million rubles to the person who brings her back, so that was the main reason Dimitri and Vlad helped her. The empress and Anastasia found each other from a music box and the necklace was a key. It played that lullaby and she was back with her family. The bad guy was this sorcerer named Rasputin who was responsible for Anastasia's family's death. She defeated him and she and Dimitri got married," I explained best I could.

"Could you sing it for me?" Carl requested.

"Sure," I agreed.

Once Upon a December

"Dancing bears, painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.

Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully,
Across my memory."

I hummed where the musical interlude would be until the next singing part.

"Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully,
Across my memory.

Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember.

And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December."

By then, Rick and Michonne were up and they took the next watch. Carl and I laid down by the fire and kissed.

"Good night, Sheriff," I giggled.

"Good night, my fighter," Carl chuckled.

We were sound asleep. Tomorrow should be an eventful day.

Episode 14

We woke up and we're back on the road. I thought about if Judith is alive, where would she be now? Tyreese maybe? It's a possibility. It made me feel better if it was him because in a way, he's like a giant teddy bear. We kept walking until we found another sign. It was closer, but we still had a long way to go. I think I've gotten a better workout than I've ever done before the apocalypse started. Haha. Like I said before, the road is a long one, but the adventure awaits.

Episode 15

We're still walking, but I haven't been tired yet. I've just gotten used to it since the prison fell. Rick told us we had about a day's worth of water. But Carl and Michonne were trying to win a bet. Carl won and got his choice of candy. I kissed his cheek and they shared the candy. Rick chuckled at the sight. We kept going, mine and Carl's hand intertwined with each other's.

"That candy good?" I asked.

"You know it. Want some?" he offered.

"It's your prize. You won the bet," I declined.

"You're right. It is mine. I can choose to share or not," he replied, offering a piece.

"Okay, Sheriff. You're the boss," I smiled, releasing our grip, taking and eating it, then added, "This is good. I can see why you picked it."

He chuckled and we kept going as he said, "By the way, I didn't get to tell you, but you're a really good singer."

"Thanks. I love you," I responded, holding my hand out.

"I love you too," he said, taking my hand and pulling me into a kiss.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and his around my waist.

"Hey lovebirds!" Michonne shouted.

We jumped and Carl fell on top of me. We laughed as we hugged.

"Yeah guys?" I asked, from on the ground.

"We're about to take a break. If y'all want some water, get it now," Rick said, trying not to laugh.

"How come we always see you two making out?" Michonne asked, trying to do the same.

"Well, excuse us for being a couple!" Carl shouted, smirking.

We all laughed and when he looked back down, I snuck a kiss. He helped me up and we continued for Terminus.

Episode 16

I remembered when we were back at the prison, waiting for Rick, Maggie, and Glenn to come back. It felt like yesterday when I was back in my cell with Carl, holding Judith or taking nursing notes. It also felt like it was years ago. We were surrounded by a fire and we had to go check the snares. We were closer to Terminus than we were before. Carl asked what we would do when we get to Terminus. There was a rabbit in the trap and when we were learning, someone yelled for help. Carl ran for it, but we yelled for him to stop. Walkers were surrounding a guy and they ate him. Then they spotted us and came after us. We killed off as many as we could before we left. We walked until we found a car on the road. We checked it out while Michonne killed off the walker there.

Carl and I were asleep together in the car while Rick and Michonne were by the fire. Then next thing you know, we saw this guy out our window, staring at us like we were his next meal or something. Daryl was with them, but he didn't want them to die. He tried to talk them out of it, but they didn't listen, so they beat him up. Then we were dragged out by the guy; I escaped, grabbed his gun, and aimed it at his head.

"Let him go! Now!" I yelled.

But the guy pinned Carl and looked like was going to rape him. I jumped on him and started choking him. But he head butted me and gave me a bloody bruise on my forehead. Rick bit the neck of the man who was in charge and walked toward the guy who had Carl while Michonne pointed a gun at him. He let Carl go and I hugged him. Michonne hugged us while Rick killed him. Daryl finished killing the others.

The next morning, we were in the car and I told Carl how to help with my bruise because he insisted he helped. He finished patching it up.

"And last but not least," he said then gently kissed my forehead.

"Thank you. A little more training and you could be my nursing assistant," I replied then added, "Are you okay after last night?"

"Yeah. I just can't get what my dad did to that guy out of my head. It was pretty terrifying," he confessed.

"If that man did anything to you, it would've been for me. I tried to help, but man he had a hard head but no brain," I responded.

I got a light chuckle out of him. We kissed and all of us headed out. We came to this fence where there was a building that said Terminus. Carl went with Michonne while I stayed with Rick and Daryl.

"Give him time, man. It'll be okay," Daryl assured.

"Yeah. He'll come around. So, what are we doing?" I replied.

"I'm burying these guns, just in case," Rick answered.

We climbed the fence and went inside. There were people in there, sending broadcasts or signs about Terminus. This guy named Gareth welcomed us and Rick introduced us. Before we got the tour, we placed our weapons in front of us and they inspected us. We got to keep our weapons and we followed some guy named Alex. We were introduced to Mary and they gave us meat. But Rick found something familiar; a watch. It was Glenn's. Rick slammed the plate down and had the guy in a headlock. We had our weapons ready. Others were wearing things that came from our group. Then it was a full on gun fight. We looked for ways of escaping, but they blocked almost every exit and we were trapped. They demanded for us to drop our weapons and we did. They made us go one by one to this train car. First Rick, then Daryl, then Michonne. Carl and I were left. Then they let us go. They went in then us. It was closed shut. Then we found Glenn, Maggie, Sasha, Bob, and four new people whose names were Tara, Rosita, Abraham, and Eugene. We just looked at each other.

Then Rick told us, "They're screwing with the wrong people," and boy was he right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N Rick's group is mostly reunited, but not in the best way. Cannibals are after them now, but they are going to get out.
