Telling Carl about André felt good, though it made the pain to him being gone even more real. Talking about it hurt even more. Carl was clearing out another room so I decided to take the opposite room. I opened up the door to a bathroom. My heart beat faster as I saw it was a child's bathroom room.
I swallowed down the lump in my throat as I opened the other door in the bathroom. I stiffened when I saw the child's room. Toys scattered everywhere, books on bookshelves, painted pictures on the wall. Everything reminded me of my burn at the back of my eyes came like a freight train.
No Michonne. Don't fall back to that state. Stay strong, for André. This replayed in my head as a walked to a pink door near the backside of the room.
It was here, everything slowed. It was here I knew something would happen. It was here I knew something would change my life. Something would break down the barriers that I have worked so hard to put up.
"Michonne? You in there?" Carl called out. His voice flung me back to reality. I looked around. "Yeah. Be right there." I replied quietly.
I gripped the pink doors knob in my sweaty palm and slowly turned it. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. The stench of the air about knocked me out. I coughed and put an arm over my nose, and a hand on my katana. I looked around what used to be an adorable pink girl room. There was 5 dead bodies, 4 on the two twin beds and one in a rocking chair.
I looked around for a minute, The feeling in my stomach never leaving. It must just be the smell of dead people in the air. I told myself. Though I should be used to that by now.
I turned to leave the room when I saw a small shoe peeking out from under the bed. It was a little red converse. The feeling in my stomach in my stomach increased as did my curiosity. I bent down on my hand and knees and peeked out.
My heart stopped when I saw the little blue eyes. His striking blue eyes reminded me of what the sky used to look like. His dark hair, mixed complexion and child chubbiness stole my heart. I gulped and smiled at the toddler. I couldn't believe I was staring at this perfect little child.
So many memories flooded back into my mind of my own baby's laugh and adorable smile. The child hesitated but tried to smile but I could see he was too weak.
"It's okay. You're safe now" I whispered.
