Maisie

"Kate?"

Kate turned looking around in bewilderment at the new surroundings "Kate" the voice spoke again she turned her crossbow slung loosely from her shoulder, her eyes scanned the faces of the people she will probably get introduced to soon until her eyes fell on the person that she had been looking and waiting for. Her un-identical twin Maisie. She crouched down so Carl could clamber off of her shoulders and then with un-shed tears the two sisters and into each other embraces words couldn't describe how the other felt they were just so happy to be in each others arms again. There was coughs behind them and they separated, Maisie smile widened she spoke softly but happiness dripped from her mouth "Kate this is Dale, Andrea, Andrea's sister Amy, Shane, Glenn, Carol, this is Carol's daughter Sophia, T-Dog and you know Rick and his family." Kate had shaken hands with each of the group members and given young Carl a hug. "Maisie it's so good to see you."

That unfortunately was were the happiness stopped when Daryl poked in "Sorry to be a ball buster but where's my brother. Where's Merle."

Rick was the one to speak "I'm sorry Daryl but Merle was a liability see he was causing havoc so I had to handcuff him to the roof, T-Dog unfortunately dropped the key there was nothing we could do I am truly sorry Daryl."

T-Dog then went on to explain "I had locked and padlocked the door so none of those things could get out onto the roof."

Feeling like Daryl was about to explode Shane butted in saying "I'm sorry Daryl but what do you expect Rick to do just go waltzing back to Atlanta."

Maisie was the next one to speak "That's exactly what we are going to do." Carl stopped hugging his mother and raced over to her and Maisie crouched down arms outstretched Carl wrapped his arms around Maisie's neck crying softly into her checked shirt reapeatly saying "You can't go what if the things get you and you die." Rick then stepped in and whispered as well to Maisie with Carl still tightly in her embrace "He's right, Maisie I would be devastated if something happened to you."

Maisie took on her hands and motioned Rick to crouch down and he co-operated Maisie placed a comforting hand on his face feeling some slight stubble growing on his cheek "I am going I know Merle, I want to help and I am good with my knives." Rick nodded in understanding and walked away leaving Maisie to deal with Carl "Honey, I am going to go with Daryl, Glenn, T-Dog and your dad to help find Merle okay I am going to be fine I have your dad to protect me, I also have something very big for you to do." Carl nodded. "I need you to take great care of my sister okay can you do that for me." Carl nodded again new tears shredded down his innocent face. Maisie hugged him once more tightly before she got up to leave Carl screamed "PLEASE STAY!" He ran but Kate seeing the struggling look on Maisie's face went up and grabbed him round the middle and whispered something in his ear, Carl took one glance at Maisie turned and hugged Kate. Rick walked past Carl and crouched beside him whispering "I'll take good care of her okay, I swear I won't let anything happen to her." Carl grabbed his farther and hugged him tightly before going back to hugging Kate again. Daryl started beeping the horn of the truck shouting " Come on you pussy's we've got to go otherwise the son of a bitch won't stand a chance." Rick and Maisie walked over to the truck waved good-bye and the transport rolled out of the camp and headed towards the dirt track.

After ages of T-Dog moaning, Rick staring and Daryl shouting Glenn was the only normal as Maisie sat in the front seat discussing Merle "Did you have any boyfriends before the outbreak." Glenn asked heading for a discussion she wasn't ready to have "Yes." She was hoping the one worded answer would put him off because every guy she had dated Kate had to chance them out with her crossbow because they were always taking advantage "what were they like." Maisie removed her feet from the dashboard and turned to face Glenn "look, Glenn I know you mean well but I just don't want to talk about this thank you." She turned back to looking out of the window feet back in place Glenn took the hint and asked "Your sisters alive and well, you must be very happy and relieved." Maisie smiled to her self and answered Glenn's question with ease.

Back at the camp Carl wouldn't budge from the position he was sat in on a log staring at the dirt track, tears kept kaskading down his face Kate approached his shoulder and placed a cup of hot chocolate in his cold hands then placing herself down beside him, "Why are they taking so long it'll be dark soon." Carl muttered to himself.
"Don't worry I bet they are persuading Merle to come back this instant I don't know Merle at all but he sounds like the kind of guy to be quite stubborn but he will come round I bet." Carl smiled at the kind gesture Kate had given him.
"Do you think Maisie will be alright when she comes back, and my dad."
"Yes, she is going to be fine and so is your dad there going to come back to you because they have each other to protect them."
Carl then put down his cold hot chocolate, stood up and went and placed himself lightly in Kate's lap startled by this gesture but she instinctively put her arms around to make sure he didn't fall he the snuggled into the crook of her neck "I miss her Kate, do you?"
Kate rocked the little boy back and forth for a minute then answered truthfully "Yes Carl, I miss her very much."

Back at Atlanta, they had finally arrived at the department store but the place was overrun by "WALKERS" Maisie shouted. Everyone looked at her with disgusted looks on their faces because she had shouted.
"Come on you sons of bitches we've got to find my brother." We all nodded and T-Dog lead the way to the staircase and that's when it happened. It was all a blur but Maisie was yanked from the staircase and put up against a wall, the flesh hung from it's teeth, eyes widened and the stench filled her nostrils 'putrid, uck.' Mais thought the look etched on her pretty features then as soon as she'd thought it the body was gone and Rick stood knife raised and blood splattered across his sheriff uniform. Unwanted tears had shed down Maisie's cheeks and she flung herself into Rick's arms thankful for the protection he had given her "Thank you Rick."
"No problem." A cough behind them made them realise what they were here for and they headed for the heavily locked door.

Kate was still rocking Carl when she had realised he had fallen asleep, she picked him up and carried him to the tent placed a kiss a top his head and headed out to the camp. Kate sat directly by the fire when she felt a tap on her shoulder she turned to look into the face of Lori Grimes "Yes." Kate asked politely.
"Thank you for putting Carl down, I knew once Rick left he wouldn't sleep right."
"Rick and my sister." Kate snapped.
"Just between you and me though I wouldn't mind if Rick came back instead of her."
Kate fumed. "But I would be devastated if she died." Lori corrected herself and decided to place herself away from Lori 'but was Lori right no Maisie could take care of herself but she wasn't the hunter but she is the best person with knives I know but what if that isn't enough I have to go to Atlanta.' Kate thought.
She had picked up her bow and quiver when Dale spoke "Kate where do you think your going."
Kate turned and spoke "To Atlanta"
Carol spoke up next "you can't go dear what if you go there and they aren't there and you get hurt."
"Yeah, they will be back." Lori spoke calmly and smoothly.
"SHE'S MY SISTER, I HAVE ALREADY LOST HER ONCE I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE HER AGAIN." Kate shouted. Carl stirred in his tent sat up and got out of the sleeping bag. He had a smile on his face because it was late, his dad and Maisie should of been back for hours but when he had come out and none of them were there he sat and cried, Kate walked over and hugged him.

They had finally reached the top of the building and the shock before them made them shiver. There lying on the ground was supposedly Merle's hand, they then went to search the whole building but couldn't find him anywhere, it was starting to get dark so Glenn asked "Shall we go back." and they started walking back to the truck which to no-ones surprise was gone, so they headed out on foot. It must have been a couple of hours until they finally made it to the camp and the sight made them drop the weapons they collected. The camp was screaming. They were overrun by Walkers.
