Sorry for the rambling. Really short chapter (even for me) but like I said I'll try to update REALLY soon. This is just a follow-up of the last chapter. Please keep the reviews coming. Thanks!
After her conversation with Merle, the memories Moses had tried so hard to repress over the years plagued her mind. Sitting on wall duty on an ordinary sunny day in Woodbury, the stream of walkers were easy to deal with which was bad news for her as she had nothing left to distract herself with.
The squeaking of shoes against linoleum floor and the hum of conversation could be heard. But Moses barely registered them. She stared blankly at the pale walls as her mind filled with the thoughts she couldn't contain.
"Moses, honey?" She forced her eyes to focus on the figure of her grandmother. Heavy lines formed smile lines around her mouth but on this occasion the woman's face was set into a serious expression. She stood up quickly, desperate for news, confirmation.
The old woman felt her heart break a little at the sight of the 14 year old girl as the last dregs of hope seeped out of her body and she sank back into one of the cheap, plastic hospital chairs.
"It's time" she heard her Grandmother say as if from far away. Nodding, she stumbled as she was helped down a bright hallway and into one of the rooms.
A nurse was checking one of the machines. As she was leaving she whispered something into the older woman's ear.
Moses shuffled slowly into the room. She saw her father, his head bowed, his face looking especially grey against the bright plastic chair he had been sitting in for almost three straight days. A women sat up in the hospital bed, tubes sticking out of her arms. She looked awful, pale and skinny, her limp hair falling out of its ponytail and around her face. It was still possible to see the beauty in her face but the illness had made her so weak she barely had the strength to clutch her husbands hand. Despite this, she smiled weakly at the sight of her daughter.
Moses was shaking as she moved to her mothers bedside.
The woman smiled and raised a hand to stroke her cheek.
"Mom…" she whispered as her eyes filled with tears.
"Moses, baby" she whispered still smiling "I'm so sorry I won't be able to see you grow up. But I know you'll be okay. You're so strong, honey. I love you so much. Remember that."
"I love you too mom" she whispered, tears now streaming freely down her face."
Her mother nodded before closing her eyes, finally it was too much for her body to take. Moses clamped her eyes shut, also as her mothers hand slipped out of her grasp leaving her feeling alone.
She could hear sobbing and someone calling her name but she couldn't reply.
Her knees gave out and she sank to the floor and buried her head into her arms. The tears refused to come now. It would hit her later, she knew but right now the shock blocked out the pain. The voice was calling her name again. She frowned, trying to ignore them but the voice was getting uncomfortably loud.
"Moses?"
"Moses?"
"Moses, come on."
"Moses, are you okay?"
She realized her eyes were closed only as they flashed open.
She straightened up in her chair and saw that it had been Phillip calling her. He looked concerned as he took the seat next to her.
"Are you okay?" he asked again.
She nodded, trying to act normally. Phillip looked skeptical, letting her know she had failed.
She sighed.
"I was just thinking… about my family."
He seemed to understand as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"You wanna talk about it?" he asked.
He could feel her shaking her head against him.
"Not right now." She put her head against his chest. "For now this is enough."
So sorry it's short. Will update soon. Promise. 'Till then,
