"Things are going to be different this time though, I wasn't there. I won't let that happen again Carol, you need to trust me, we will go after them, we need a better plan this time" You said.

"You weren't there, it doesn't matter where you were, but you weren't there. You didn't see our family upon those pikes. Honey, you didn't hear what happened. They fought, fighters, Tara, Enid. Enid and Henry have grown up in this world all they know is too fight, and all Ten of them ended up dead." Carol whispered.

"Carol"

"Y/N, you weren't there, even if you were, it wouldn't have changed anything except for how many heads were up there."

"She is right, I love you. Military training, being a crazy smart girl, you would have delayed the Whispers, but you wouldn't have been able to save anyone. I do agree that if we take our time, we can see what we come up with though" Rosita added.

Daryl walked in through the back door and sat down next to Rosita. Carol continued making dinner as you sat on the counter, watching Daryl.

"You have something to add," You asked Daryl

"We can't do what we usually do, goin in guns blazing, we gotta have a plan. I dunno if anything gonna work though." He said as he nodded to Connie, who also walked in through the back door.

Connie smiled to all of us but continued walking through the house, Daryl watched her until he couldn't see her.

"Connie, eh?" You joked.

Daryl just starred, and you smiled. You were happy for him, though, you hope there was something between him and Connie, he deserved something. You also knew that he wasn't ready, neither were you, every time you looked at Daryl; you saw her.

You can't really image Daryl with anyone else besides your sister, but she's gone, Carl's gone, Rick's gone, Glenns gone, everyone was gone, except the few people that weren't. The ones that were standing in this room.

"Eh, I looked yesterday," Daryl answered.

You looked up and smiled, but you both knew, everyone knew. Mackenzie was gone, she was dead. Even though you didn't find a body, you watched her die, Ricks case was different, at least it felt different.

They killed Tara and children. Maybe Mackenzie isn't dead, then maybe she is somehow involved with the Whispers, we need to look, we need to know. I need to know" You said, looking down at the floor, wondering when Carol was going to get upset and kick you off.

"Make up a plan within the next few days, think about the herd they have, the number of people they have, the fact that we can't tell what's human or not till they are inches away from us. I need you to think about everything, and then I will consider going after them." Carol said

"Why don't you of all people want to go after them?" Rosita asked

Carol stopped, turned around, and gave Rosita a crushing look. Every bone in her body wanted to go after them. She knew the risk; she knew how impossible it truly seemed. She tried to fight for Henry, but she was still broken. She knew that this wasn't a plan that could be made in a few minutes.

Daryl gave Rosita a look which resulted in her leaving the kitchen. Carol watched her go, gave a tiny smile to Daryl then turned around to look at you.

"Get off my counter." She swatted you with the towel, there it was.

You hopped down and then headed outside, knowing that Daryl had followed. Carol was breaking, and when she couldn't hide it, you knew it was terrible. Daryl couldn't see her like that, so he left after you.

"You have any plans?" Daryl asked

"Nothing, I think that hurts the most, I should have everything, I lost so much, I should have some sort of ideas on how to make them pay."

"They are all proud, you know. Your brother, your sisters, Tara too." Daryl said

"I am the youngest, they were supposed to be here for so much longer. I knew I am a grown woman, but I can't do this without my older siblings, I had so much more growing up to do."

"Your brother died tryna save people. He watched over Carol, the girls, and Judith when the prison fell. Tyrese was a good man, that should be a lesson. Sasha sacrificed herself tryna do the same thing, she made dumb decisions before, tryna be good for us. Mackenzie, was the same as em too. She ran into one too many burnin buildings, and I am sorry, I wasn't there to run after her. I aint sayin they died to teach ya something, Im sayin learn from how they died." Daryl stated.

"I know how it feels to lose someone you love, and I know how hard it is to move one. I am going through that with Tara, I just hope you give Connie a chance." You smiled

"Let's make up a plan," He said, trying to change the subject.

"Let's silence the Whispers" You added. 

I hope you have all been well. Thank you for the support, like always. Sorry for not updating in literally a year. I Had fun writing this, and I am glad I actually found the time to write!
