"Mom?" Carl said

Ninja just sat there his food no longer appetizing.

His stomach was in knots.

He felt the need to throw up.

He didn't want this.

He didn't want his son to see him like this.

He's going to be scared of him.

He's going to be afraid of him now!

How couldn't he be?

He's A Monster!

He awoke from his thoughts when he felt a hand on his cheek. Wiping away the wetness.

"Mom?" Carl called him.

Ninja lightly held his hand.

"Is this why?" He asked.

Ninja slowly nodded his head.

Carl only hugged him.

Ninja wrapped his hands around him, nearly pulling him in his lap.

"It's okay, your still my mom. I don't see you as anything less." He said.

He pulls away and lightly touched one of the black veins.

"I think it looks really cool!" Carl said, immediately looking at the bright side of this.

"I don't think you should hide it...but I understand why." He says.

Ninja looks to him, and gives him a small smile.

Which makes him smile bigger.

"I like your smile. I saw it in videos. But it's a lot better seeing it myself." Carl said.

Ninja relaxed in the chair, listening as Carl just...talks to him naturally.
Explaining how their going to Washington... He missed Abraham's speech on why they should go.

Ninja listened, much like he's always  done.

"Can I see your face often?" Carl asked.

'you sound just like your father'

"Dad has seen your face before me?" Carl asked.

Ninja nodded.

"Lucky." Carl says.

Ninja smiles and pats his head.

"Well still, I want to see you...you really remind me of a superhero."

Ninja officially ate his food.

Rick was right, be hasn't eaten in quite some time, a couple of days maybe?
But if something your body gets used to.
You can eat one meal, and then not eat anything for like 3-4 days.
Something you have to get used to.

When they hear yelling.

They both immediately left the office seeing Sasha aiming a gun at Gabriel.

"Stop it."

"Stop-"

"The feeling of being watched! Everything!" She yells.

"What did you do?"

"You'll burn for this? That was for you. What did you do?" Rick asked.

And so Gabriel told his gruesome tale...how his flock died...How the dead ate them all alive...All that was left was bones that buried in the graveyard.

Ninja looked to him...watching as the man was sobbing in tears.

Before they all heard a faint whistling.

"Guys theirs someone laying in the graveyard." Glenn announced.

Sasha immediately ran out, Ninja held onto Carl shoulders.

It was dark out and they were obviously getting fucked with.

An that's when they bought in Bob.

As soon as Ninja saw his leg, he immediately shielded Carl's eyes.

Somewhat dragging him back to the office.

Rick looked to him and nodded in thanks.

"Was he bit?"
Carl asked as they sat on the ground coloring in the religious coloring book....

Ninja looked to him, and shrugged.

He truly didn't know he just saw the leg...and Carl can't see that...Being bit was one thing.

But seeing a cut off leg?

Was truly another.

Bob was moved into the office, out on a couch.

Rick gives Ninja that signature
'We need a talk' look.

Ninja gets up and gets the low down...and he was pissed.

Beyond pissed.

Ninja looks to the room where they put Bob, and looked back to Rick.

"We're gonna deal with it." Rick said.

It was the way he said it, like it was no option, and he's right... This isn't really something you look over.

When Rick told him the plan, Ninja nodded, and went back to where Carl is.

The others left, well all but, Rosita, Eugene and Gabriel. Who are in another room

Ninja holds a gun, listening as Gareth comes in.

"Well you know we're here... and I know that your here.

Carl....Rosita....Eugene....and that Ninja freak...and Bob...unless you put him out of his misery already.
And Gabriel.
The others are all gone." Gareth said.

Ninja looked to Bob who was past out.

"There's only two doors and we're more then equipped to take down both doors, with a hail of bullets." Gareth said.

Ninja looked to Carl and pulled him away from the door.

'Few more seconds...come on Rick.'

"Alright take it down-"

Ninja kneels slightly, when he heard a little noise.

And groaning...

Ninja looks to Carl, before he slowly gets up and goes to the door.

Rick was standing before Gareth.

"No point in begging right?" Gareth said holding his bloody hand.

"No...I already made you a promise." Rick said, holding a red handled hatchet. And in put it in his head, over and over.

Ninja watched seeing everyone else doing the same, killing them.

He slowly closed the door and looked to Carl.

"They're dead?" Carl asked.

Ninja nodded.

"I should feel bad...but what they did-"

Ninja ruffled his hair, stopping his thoughts.
He knows...this world changes you, you think things you never used too.

You do unexplainable things.

And....this world changes you, though sometimes it can be reversed...

When they were at the prison, they had a somewhat normal life.

Carl looks to Ninja.

"We're gonna be okay." He states.

Ninja nods

They will be...

They gotta be.

They walked out, the bodies gone, the mess messily cleaned up.

Glenn, Maggie, Tara, and Abraham's group gone to Washington.

They all sat down, trying to relax. When Daryl and a boy bursts in with news...

Beth's alive and is a prison in a hospital.

And Carol's been taken to said hospital.

What the hell?
