We Will Survive Together

Chapter 46: Losing is hard.

We made our way to the food bank. I was talking to Michonne about small things. Once we finally got there it didn't look over run. We walked in a little farther and saw a whole in the floor and it was flooded. There were walkers in the water and a lot of food. "Ok we go in push the shelves in front of us to take out the walkers one by one" Rick said. We all nodded. We all started to climb down. "Hey I said your coming with us" Rick said. Then him and Gabriel were climbing down. "Now" Rick said and we pushed the shelves in front of us. I took out my knife and we slowly started to take out the walkers. I looked over and saw Gabriel trying to get away and was getting surrounded. "Rick" I said and pointed to him. "What is he doing" Sasha said. "I don't know" Rick said as he made his way over to him. We took out what seemed to be the last of the walkers. Bob was walking around and all the sudden he let out a scream and went under water. "Bob" Sasha yelled out. We ran over and Bob came back up with the walker snapping at him. We were finally able to take it out. "Are you ok" Sasha said looking for bites. "I'm fine" Bob said and hugged his girlfriend. We grabbed the food and made our way back to the church. Daryl still wasn't back and neither was Carol. We all sat down and ate the food we had. I sat down next to Tara and Maggie. "As you all know Eugene here knows how to stop this whole mess. All we need to do is get him to D.C. and this will all be over. The question is are you in" Abraham said looking at Rick. Then Judith started to coo. "What was that" Rick said to his daughter. "I think she is in. If she's in I'm in. Where in" Rick said. Everyone cheered and we were ready for our lives to go back to normal. I was getting tired and made my way over to where me and Daryl were sleeping. I laid down and looked up at the ceiling. I let myself fall asleep. 

After a few hours I heard the door slam open. I jerked up and grabbed my pistol. Sasha, Tyreese and Rick were coming in. "Where are our people." Sasha said waking up to Gabriel. "What do you mean." he said looking around. "It has been about 6 hours now since Daryl and Carol left. Now they are gone. And Bob is missing." Sasha said. I looked around and sure enough didn't see Daryl. "Where are our people" Sasha said. "I-" Gabriel said. "Where are our people" Sasha said pushing him against the wall. "I don't know" Gabriel whimpered out. "Your hiding something. You'll burn for this. What does it mean. What will you burn for Gabriel. What did you do. What did you do" Rick said taking out his gun. "I always lock the doors at night. Every night. Then one night the members of my church. Women, children, family. Then the dead came. They were yelling for help but I never let them in. They were begging me for mercy. I never let them in" Gabriel said. I looked out the window and saw a body. "Guys someone is laying in the yard." I said going towards the door. We opened it and saw Bob laying there with his leg gone. We drug him inside and laid him on the floor. We all started to help him. "I think there is some pain meds in Daryl's bag" I said standing up. "No save em" Bob grunted out. "No" Sasha said looking down at him. "Really" he said. He sat up and looked at all of us. He lifted the sleeve of his shirt reveling a bite mark. "It happened at the food bank." He said weakly. Sasha had tears in her eyes. "There is a sofa in my office. He can lie there" Gabriel said looking at us. "Thank you" Sasha said. We all helped him to the couch and he laid down. "It was Gareth they got out" Bob said looking at us. Rick nodded and we gave him space. "They know we are here" Rick said leaning over the railing. "Why don't you, Abraham, Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, Sasha, and anyone else go into the woods make em think you guys left. Then when they come in thinking the have the upper hand you come back in and take em out" I said looking at everyone. "Thats it thats the plan" Rick said putting his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry we will find Daryl." Rick said looking down at me. I nodded and walked over to me and Daryl's spot on the floor. I grabbed everything and put it in the office. We all went into the small room. Everyone who had a gun took it out and waited. Not even 20 minutes later the doors to the church opened. "We know your in here" a voice said. "We know Rick and some others left with a lot of your guns. You have little to know way to defend yourselves." the voice continued on. "We know that Daryl and Carol left to" the man said. "That leaves Carl, Rosita, Eugene, Judith, Martins good friend Tyreese, the bitch who killed my mom Kass, Bob if you haven't put him out of his misery yet, Father Gabriel you made this all possible" the man said. "Just come out and you can walk away from all of this." the man said. "There are two doors and we are more then capable of taking down both." he said. I looked around. I heard them walking to the opposite door. Then Judith started to cry. Carl ran over to quiet her. "I don't know maybe we will keep the kid. I'm starting to like this girl" the man whispered and walked over to us. "You have 10 seconds to open the door or we are going to shoot it down." the man said. I heard someone load there gun. We were ready to fire. Then I heard a silenced gunshot and two bodies collapsed. "Put your weapons on the floor and kneel" I heard Rick say. "Rick we will fire right into that office so you lower your gun" the man said. However then he let out a small yelp. "I won't ask again" Rick said. "Do as he says" The man who know sounded broken said. "Martin there is no choice" he said a few seconds later. "There is" the man who I assumed was Martin. "Wanna bet" I heard Abraham's low voice. Then I heard him put the gun down. I was assuming he got on his knee's. "Let us go. We will never bother you again. We can walk out right now and we will never cross paths again I promise you" the man said. "But you crossed path with someone. Plus I already told you how it was gonna be" Rick said. Then I heard the sound of knives and the beating of people. I slowly opened the door and they were all dead. I looked around hoping to see Daryl. "Ok now we need to go to D.C" Abraham said. "We still have people out there. We ain't going anywhere" Rick said looking at Abraham. "It is too dangerous for Eugene to stay here" Abraham said looking at him. "Fine anyone who wants to go with you can go. We meet back in Washington" Rick said. "Me and Maggie can go." Glenn said. "I can go to" Beth said walking forward. Maggie didn't want her to. "I'm in" I said. "What about Daryl" Carl said. "Tell him I will be back soon" I smiled. Then we were loading into the truck. Bob had died about 20 minutes ago. We had said our goodbyes and he was ready for it. Then we were off. Off to save the world.
