Daryl comes back around and I'm standing there still looking at the prison. "Nic! Ya still here?" He asked walking towards me. "No I ran away and became a stripper." I said sarcastically. He chuckles a bit. "I'd pay" he mumbled. "You what?" I asked looking at him weirdly. "hm?" he asked looking back up biting his lip like he didn't say anything. "mhm. Where's Rick?" I asked.

Rick came around the corner looking at you and looks at Daryl who's smiling. "Okay Daryl's happy." he asked seeming surprised. "He's happy? Oh crap Rick get the camera? This is a pivotal moment? Ahh I think imma cry." I said wiping away fake tears. Rick started laughing an Daryl looked at me with one look "right." I said with a straight face.

"Nic so you're telling me that Daryl told me and ran and found a prison and a new home for us all because of a vision?" "yeah." I said. "And you've been having these visions for a while and it predicted what happens next?" "yeah." His eyes widened "Wow I really need therapy." he said. "Oh there's a walker back on second street who didn't exactly here your girls troubles." "yeah yeah. Well how are we gonna get in? Its filled with walkers." "you got a knife?" "yeah." "Daryl you got a crossbow?" "Do we have supress pistols and guns?" "Yeah." "Ya see what I'm getting at?" "no."

I roll my eyes and groan. " What I'm saying is we go down to the fence and grab everyone and we clear out the front field so we can stay the night there." "Oh right. That's a good idea I'll get the others. Great job Nic." Rick said walking back into the forest. "No really?" I mumbled with an annoyed face. Daryl comes behind me and stand next to me. "You know Nic this can be our home." he said to me. He tried to touch my shoulder but I flinch a bit and back away. "Nic it's over." Daryl said. I knew what he meant. "New homes never last." I said thinking back on the farm and my past. He puts his hand on my shoulder one more time and walks away back to the forest leaving me there in my thoughts.

*BACK THEN*

"And here's your room." Philips mother said walking me through the door. I start to breath silently in and out not wanting to be in a room. I look around and scan and inspect the room seeing things flick and flash back to my memory of not so long ago.

*SCREAMING*

I step back and she sighs "Look you're safe here." the women said to me. "Why don't you take a shower. I'll get some cloths. The bathroom is right over there." she said pointing towards the bathroom door across from the bed. Bathroom. I don't remember when it was the last time taking a shower. And even if I did. I was never alone.

"Why don't you settle yourself in. I'll be right back" she said walking out the room leaving me in there. I smile and look at the bed and walk up to it at the edge of the bed and walk to the side of it looking at it trying to remember what it was like to have a bed.

I put my hand on the blanket on top and if was soft. I move my hand up to the pillow and when I press down in cushiony. I tried to get used to being in a new room considering what I went through with the last one.

*TIED DOWN TO BED* "STOOOP" *MEN LAUGHING*

I jump back and fall to my knees reliving the moment and start to cry wanting to stop thinking of it. The mother comes back in and sees my on the floor broken down and crying. She felt bad and wanted to do something but she knew it would only make it worse. She looks at me and walks over to the bed and sets it down hearing my cries coming louder and louder each time she stepped closer.

She sighs and she sets down the cloths on the table. "here. When you're done taking shower you can come down with us if you want and watch a movie with us. Maybe it can get your mind of-whatever is bothering you." she kindly said smiling at me. I turn to her and nod slightly and she walks out the door but stops hearing my cries fade away. She closed her eyes and continued out the door letting me have my time.

After a while I get up and stop crying and walk to the bathroom and look inside it. It was white, shiny and all modern. I take step in and feel a sting under my foot from the cold tile floor. I pick up my feet and walk across the tile up to see the shower there with the toilet next to it. I never had a good shower without someone cleaning my hair and body for me. It felt nice to be alone. But I didn't exactly want to go in. I didn't know if I was ready again.

I touch the glass door and jump back.

*PRESSED AGAINST THE TILE* *MY WHIMPERING* *GUY GRINDING* *HOT WATER ON MY BACK*

I start to hyperventilate and start to walk back out the door but turned back around because I knew I had to face my fears. I had to do it even though I hated it.

I open the door and turn on the shower and see it streaming down and soon to see steam rising up from the floor up to the roof. It had become hot and I felt the warm air exit the shower and on the my skin feeling. I breath in and put my hand out flat and put the tip of my finger in the water and it shooting down on my feeling the vibration bouncing off.

I step into the shower and look at the floor and close my eyes feeling the sense of satisfaction and pleasure feeling the steaming water burning on my back with some of the water trickle down my cheek. I smile and luckily the shower was see through and glass so I didn't feel so trapped like I did before. For once I did feel a little safe again. But I only knew that would last for a short amount of time.

*PRESENT*

I went back from the train track and I took Rick and the others down the forest where I found the prison while Hershel, Maggie and Lori take the cars.

When we get to the fence there are more walkers than by looking from a far. They were bigger and meaner. "Okay Nic what's the plan." Rick said. I look at the fence a bit and turn when I see everyone looking at me. "Wha-me?! You serious?" "Come on what you got?" Beth begged. I whine and look around the prison thinking of a plan. And suddenly one came up.

"Alright I got it. Carol and Hershel, Glenn and Maggie you guys take the towers and shoot the walkers from above. Rick you are going to go for the entrance of the gate in front of the prison and close it while Carol and them cover you and make a clear path. Daryl, Beth, Carl, T, Izzy, Dek you guys stay here and kill as many walkers by the fence as you can. And me and Randall will take the back entrance and see if we can get a better way in and kill some walkers over there. You guys got it?" I asked feeling proud. They look at each other and nod.

Daryl gets the bolt cutters and cut the fence to make a doorway through it. We all walk in and I take Randall and we go through the back way and when we get there we can see Carol and them shooting form above while Rick is making his way to the fence entrance while shooting walkers as he goes farther up the dirt road surrounded by grass.

I drive my knife down one walkers skull with it splashing blood everywhere. I look away discussed. "yeah I'm never getting used to that." I said shaking the gross feeling off. It smelled like dog food had been sitting out for years and someone ate it and threw it up and left it there for a hundred more years. Dead decaying bodies. Yeah ew.

Randall kills a couple more walkers and I smile at him realizing how good he was. "What?" Randall asked blushing. "Nothing." I said smirking killing one more walker. He grins at me and looks away back to the walker in front of him.

I find Rick almost there but a walker comes behind him. "RICK LOOK OUT!" I screamed from a far. I tried calling out Glenn and them to shoot but they were too busy killing the rest of the walkers. "Damn it." I mumbled and I put my knife back in my knife holder on my thigh and I pull around from my shoulder my bow and draw the string back with the arrow intact with it. I breath in and release the arrow and it flied through the walkers head clean. Rick looks over and nods his head as in thank you and he gets back up and get to the fence kicking back walkers and killing one and closing the gate. It was finally over. Rick stepped back catching his back feeling relieved.

I walk back around and everyone else is already in the gate resting on the field and Randall grabs my hand and we both walk in. "WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS MUCH SPACE SENSE THE FARM!" Carol screamed in joy.
