IM JUST KIDDING

~Katherine's Pov~

They were starting to leave but Grayson stayed back as Negan walked off with the other Saviors. They took Eugene with them. I looked at Gray with tears in my eyes, he kept looking at me too and shook his head, "I'm sorry." He said. "Leave." Rick said, looking at him angry. He just wanted all the Saviors gone.. I'm pretty sure he put the pieces together, I already told Rick about Grayson, and the message he sent me those few days ago about 'not knowing' him. He looked at Rick then back at me, reaching in his pocket. He pulled something out of his pocket and placed it down on the pool table then tapped on it with his finger once.

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked at him. He walked away, catching up to Negan and the rest. Rick headed over to Spencer, he turned into a walker already, it was pretty quick. He plunged the knife in his head and I walked over to the table, going over to where Grayson tapped. I looked at the table but stopped immediately, not reaching out. "Dad." Carl said coming down from the porch. I felt tears well up in my eyes and my heart sank to my stomach looking at what was on the pool table.

"What the hell were you thinking.?!"  He asked angrily as Carl reached him. "I thought I could end it." He said. Rick shook his head, "Are you alright.?" Rick asked, still angry. "Yeah." Carl said "Get inside." He said. I was stuck. I couldn't move. I just looked at the table with tears in my eyes.. I still couldn't move even though I tried reaching out to the table. "Katherine," Rick said as Carl made his way inside. I swallowed the lump in my throat and a tear fell from my eyes. He walked down to me and put a hand on my arm, looking down at the table too. ".. What is it?" he asked looking at it too. I finally snapped out of it and grabbed it as I caught my breath looking at the moon charm. "It's Luna's necklace." I said as my voice cracked. He looked at me quickly.

"Luna- Luna.?" He asked remembering. I gasped as another tear fell. "I need to go talk to him." I said walking away from him. "No- no. No. You can't go." Rick said grabbing my arm, stopping me. I turned to him. "No- he's here i can talk to him." I said looking back at him. "Let me go. I have to talk to him!" i said starting to cry. I couldn't hold back anymore. He was here. I need to talk to him. "I need to know if she's- Rick i need to know." I said as tears fell. I tried pulling his arm away with my other hand but he grabbed both my arms, stopping me. "Let me go." I repeated trying to pull away from him. I needed to talk to Grayson.

"You said- you told me what he told you." He said holding me back. "But i have to talk to him!" I cried. "Dad." Carl said stepping out hearing us argue. "You can't Katherine. He told you that for a reason, what if he's trying to protect you from Negan? You talk to him then what.?" He asked. "But wh-what if she's alive? Or- what if she's dead and he gave it to me to show me. Please." I said crying as I looked at him and tried yanking my arms out of his grip, He held my arms tighter. "Let me go Rick!" I yelled at him. "Dad!." Carl repeated as he reached us, we ignored him and kept looking at each other.

"If he could have talked to you, he would have done it now. But he didn't." He said looking me in the eyes. "Please." I repeated looking at him with tears in my eyes, He kept holding my arms to keep me from leaving. "Please- Rick." I cried trying to pull away from him. "Dad.!" Carl said once again. "You're not thinking straight." He said looking at me as i cried. "I have to talk to him. I have to talk to him before he leaves." I said catching my breath. "I need to talk to him Rick- I need to talk to him." I cried trying to pull away from him. "Fuck- let me go!" I cried.

He pulled me into him quickly and hugged me, holding me for comfort but also to keep me from going to my brother. "I need to talk to him." I cried again against his shoulder. "I can't let you go." he said. I kept crying. "Let me go.!" I said trying to pull away. "Stop." He said holding me tight. Carl just watched us not really knowing that to do. I kept crying. "I need to talk to him Rick please." I cried putting his hands on his arms, trying to pull him away from me. "Rick let me go!" i cried. "I can't!- Katherine i can't." He said holding me tighter. "I have to talk to him." I cried and fell slightly, failing to pull away from Rick. He came down to the floor with me. "Let me go." I cried trying to pull again again. "Katherine stop." He said holding me. "I can't- Rick." I cried and stopped fighting. "I have to talk to him please." I said. "No," he said and held me. I hugged him back holding the necklace in my hand.

I don't know what this necklace meant. It could mean she's alive and she's at the Sanctuary or Grayson found her at some point and she's dead. Maybe he kept the necklace knowing what it meant. I didn't know what to think, I just knew that Grayson had the answer I've been looking for this whole time, since the beginning and Rick wasn't letting me talk to him. "Rick please." I cried. "No.." he said holding me, he put a hand on my head and just held me. I was sitting on the floor and he was on his knees, sitting on his heels. (I hope you know what i mean) "Please." I cried. "I can't Katherine." He said holding me. I buried my face in his arm and hugged him back in a way. Carl bent down too and put his hand on my back watching me cry. Rick just held me while i cried, "Please." I repeated. He didn't say anything he just held me and Carl rubbed my back a bit trying to provide me comfort as well.

"We don't know what this means okay.?" He asked holding me. "He does just let me talk to him please." I said catching my breath. "You can't go Kath." He said holding me.
