Hey all,

I have this really cool idea where Daryl had a little girl with an ex and he abandoned them due to being scared. I am going to write up a story where they bump into each other as the group make runs further away from the prison and into her home town. Hopefully you'll all like it

Whisper 3

Her earliest memory was of a dark room. She remembers being cold and with a strange lady. She remembers her mama lying covered in a big white sheet and she remembers being lifted to kiss her mama's cheek.

Her next memory is being sat in a dingy little house, at a kitchen table with a mug of water and a packet of Cheetos. She remembers a young man, barely out of his teens, pacing around like a mad man. She remembers a bigger man, shouting at him, then coming through an asking her questions. It goes fuzzy for a while until she is put into a big blue truck, strapped in and she's driven away to a big blue and white house, a huge sign outside that her young eyes can't read yet. The man that she had been told was her daddy, picks her up out of the truck and walks her to the door, a woman waiting with the door open. He pulls out his wallet and hands her the money it contains. Just a few dollars and cents. She remembers looking up at the adults who were talking. She can remember the words orphanage and mama. She remembers the tears as he looks down and says sorry, going back to his truck and driving away.

Her next memory is a few years after, she's sitting in the tiny tree house in the yard of the orphanage, her name being called. She was always alone. She had always liked being on her own. She was used to it by now. "Grace Dixon! What on earth are you doing up there? Come down at once young lady, I won't have you miss church again" the lady waited as Grace slowly made her way down. Mrs Runes had always been strict with her, Grace didn't want to go to church and she didn't believe in Jesus. Her mama told her stories of her ancestors. She only remembered the one about the Cherokee Rose's.
