Wishful thinking...

[Carol's being quite stubborn right now...]

No. No, I refuse to believe that my daughter is gone. She has to be out there somewhere. Shane's supposed to be dead and see plenty of Shane's around. Sophia has to be around here and I'm not going to give up on her. I'm not.

I still have hope.

[She calls out] Sophia? Sophia sweetie it's your momma, are you out there?

[Ah she needs all the hugs! ALL THE HUGS]

What's she look like maybe I've seen her. Wait... You've seen people who should be dead?

They weren't walking around wanting to eat the living were they? [Because Sherry's had her run in with that kind before.]

[losteveryone]

[Yes, she needs lots and LOTS of hugs! Carol holds up her hand off the ground to Sophia's height]

She's this tall with light hair cut short. The last time I saw her she was wearin' a blue top and cropped jeans....

[A pause. Oh no, not another girl who knows what it's like to have walkers around. Can't a child just have a normal upbringing without running for their lives] Yes, I'm afraid they were. You've seen walkers too?

[here_take_this]

I'll keep an eye out for her okay?

[She nods a little] They were in my hometown. Sick people would attack healthy people. Then they'd get sick... Daddy and Mom sent me to the police station saying I'd be safe, but they got in there too so I hid in the air vents, and rooms that weren't being used. There was another monster that hunted me. It knew my name. And it had Daddy, I tried to find him even though Claire didn't want me to. [She bit her lip knowing she was rambling.]

[daryld]

She's out there, Carol. She has t'be.

[losteveryone]

[She nods with the smallest of smiles] I know, you're right. I just have to keep praying and hoping that my little girl comes back to me.

Who knows...Merle could be out there still too.

[daryld]

Not all that sure I wanna see him right now.

[losteveryone]

You don't want to see your...?

[She cuts herself off. She's not going to pry into his business with his brother. She has a feeling their relationship is more than a little complicated.]

[daryld]

My mun thinks he'll either be a bad influence or I'll end up punchin' him in the face.

[Especially if Merle did something to Carol. :/]

[losteveryone]

[...Which he probably would even if it was only verbal abuse. :/]

Apparently my mun agrees with you...maybe it's a good thing he's not around then.

[daryld]

Yeah... That so-called season 3 could be a mixed blessin'

[losteveryone]

Apparently, we've got quite a while to wait until then though...thankfully.
