CHAPTER THREE,
her vision.

Aiden made her way to her house and walked inside. She saw a woman named Annalise sitting on the couch with Elliot laying on his stomach and Judith sitting close to him.

"Hey, Annalise." Aiden greeted. Annalise turned around and smiled at Aiden, "I'll just leave now." The woman up and left.

Aiden smiled and made her way towards the two children. Elliot let out an excited squeal when he saw his mother, "hi, baby." She said and picked him up.

"Aunt Aid." Judy said and Aiden's jaw dropped. She had never heard Judith say that before.

"Aunt Aid?" Aiden asked with wide, happy eyes.

Judith laughed happily and held her arms out to Aiden. Aiden sighed and picked Judith up as well. She looked at the two kids and warmth and love swelled up inside of her heart.

"You know, you two, you both have absolutely changed my life for the better." Aiden said to the two. She scrunched up her nose in pain when Judy placed her hand on her face.

"Oh, Judy, don't do that, please." Aiden said and Judy's eyes went slightly wide. She removed her hand from Aiden's face and looked at her with puppy dog eyes.

Aiden smiled instead and kissing both children on their foreheads.

She loved them.

Aiden walked out of the house after putting both kids to sleep. She sat on the steps of the porch and stared at her hands. She felt... cold. She had lost so much. She wanted nothing more than everything to be over. She wanted Glenn, Abraham, and Sasha back. She wished she could've seen Glenn's smiling face when he first saw Elliot. She wish she could've seen Abraham and Sasha's relationship grow into something beautiful.

She wished a lot of things.

She stood up and walked off, she turned her attention to Tobin when he approached her, "Daryl, Michonne, Sasha, and Tara all left."

Aiden's stomach dropped, "when?"

"Michonne and Rosita left a couple hours ago, Daryl and Tara left around thirty minutes ago." He informed her.

"The Sanctuary. That's where they're all going," Aiden said. "This is bad. This is very, very bad."

"Why?" Tobin asked her with furrowed brows.

She looked at him with worries filled eyes, "cause I know Daryl Dixon. And that man... that man is a crazy motherfucker."

Tobin didn't know whether to laugh or widen his eyes at her comment towards her husband so he just chuckled. "I mean," he shrugged, "I bet they'll be back soon. I'm not supposed to let you leave. Daryl told me not to."

Aiden scoffed, "of course he told you not to let me leave."

Aiden gasped when she woke. Her wide eyes saw only white. She stood up and looked around. Her cocoa eyes looked around the white room that seemed to go on for infinity.

"Aiden." She heard from behind her. She whipped around, her shoulder length hair whipping her in the face.

She gasped at the familiar faces. Everyone she had lost was standing before her. They were all so clean.

They looked so untouched and happy.

"Aiden." She heard a voice. She looked and saw Dale Harvoth looking at her with loving eyes, "they're trying to save you." Aiden furrowed her eyebrows.

"It's not your time, babygirl. Stop blaming yourself." Lori Grimes said to her, "you didn't kill me."

"B-but you died under my care, Lori." Aiden said to her.

"I wanted my baby to live. And you've taken care of her since day one." Lori said back to her. Aiden felt her eyes welling with tears. She sniffled and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "Thank you for that."

"I've been watching over you and Maggie this whole time, Aiden, you got a family to go back to." Beth Greene said to her. Aiden gasped and nearly collapsed after seeing Beth.

"Bethy, I-I'm so sorry. If I had seen it coming I would've-" Aiden was cut off by the young blonde.

"No. It's done. After all," she looked at Hershel, "I'm happier now."

"You're stronger than two bullet wounds. Go back to them." Tyreese Williams encouraged.

"Ty..." Aiden said with a small smile.

"I've seen my little brother. He's so beautiful. Now go back to him." Aiden looked at Noah with gentle eyes. She smiled at him.

"He would've loved you, Noah." Aiden said smally.

"I know he would've." Noah said mischievously.

"I always knew your dumbass, badass self would cheat death, Aid. Now, kid, take your ass back home and give ole Daryl a wet kiss on the smackers for me." Abraham Ford said and Aiden allowed the tears to start flowing.

"A-Abe. Oh, my God." She breathed out at the sight of the ginger man.

"Yeah, yeah. You know what I need you to do, Aid? After you kiss your hubby on the kissers for me, I need you to kill Negan." Abraham said with a small snarl.

"I already have it planned." Aiden said strongly.

"That's the spirit, kid." Abraham smiled widely.

"Go back, Aiden. You have to see this war end." Sasha Williams said to her once best friend.

"Sash... I never should've let you and Rosita go, I'm sorry." Aiden apologized.

"You couldn't have stopped me, Aiden." Sasha said with a small, watery smile.

"God says it's not your time yet, Aiden." Hershel Greene said to her.

"Hershel." Aiden said excitedly. "Have you seen him? Have you seen Elliot?"

Hershel smiled, "I have. He's amazing. He's already getting so big."

"He's only a couple weeks old." Aiden said.

"He's gorgeous." Hershel said with a huge smile.

"Don't give up, Aiden. You've never done that before. Don't to it now." Glenn Rhee spoke to her. Aiden stared at him in shock.

"Can I hug you?" She asked smally.

Glenn nodded. Aiden threw herself into his arms. Glenn felt her shaking in his hold. He heard her sobs into his shoulder. Glenn squeezed his eyes tightly and tried to keep himself composed.

"I love you. I'm sorry I couldn't stop him." Aiden apologized once again.

"Stop saying you're sorry. I love you, Aiden. I always will. You're the most amazing best friend I could've ever asked for." Glenn said to her as he cradled her face.

"Stop being a little bitch and get up, Aiden." Another familiar voice said that stopped Aiden in her tracks. "You prove this fuckers wrong. You're too strong for this."

Shane.

Her big brother.

Shane Walsh.

She stared at him snd stepped away from Glenn.

"You're here." She whispered.

"Thought I'd go to hell?" He asked her. She nodded. "Yeah, so did I. Gonna hug me?"

The two Walsh siblings hugged. Aiden felt as if she hadn't been in Shane's arms in centuries. She sighed and fisted his shirt into her hands. She let out a small sob into his chest.

"I love you." Shane whispered to her. "Now, wake up!"

Aiden's eyes shot open.
