SOS/Book 2/The Prison

Chapter 12

Michonnes point of view
I woke up tied to the backseat of a car.
Merle was in the front, he looked a mess.
The other guard was nowhere to be seen and I didn't know how to feel about that.

"So what, are you gonna bring me back to Woodbury and torture me or something?" I asked, but Merle shook his head.
"I think you and the Governor just need to... chat."
Chat? Yeah right. I knew if I didn't get out this car now then I would be stuck in Woodbury for the rest of my life.

Question was though- what was so special about me? That's a question I needed and answer to:
"Merle, why me?" I asked,
Merle pulled the same face again as though I was saying the dumbest words in the dictionary.
"Michonne do you even know how good you are with that sword? Your valuable to us. You can protect us."

I kinda understood where he was coming from, I mean I never thought the archers were very good at their job.

I peered out the window and saw that we were right next to a supermarket,
"Why are we here?" I asked,
"Dave saw an Asian dude with some girl so we thought we'd take them back to Woodbury."
I rolled my eyes,
"And what if they don't want to come back to Woodbury? What if they already have a group?"
"Well that's not their choice." Merle simply replied, and I felt really sorry for the poor people who were inside the store right now.

Maggies point of view
"Glenn get that duck," I giggled, pointing to a yellow duck toy that was pinned to a shelf. I bet Judith would like it.
Glenn laughed and stuffed the duck toy into his bag, we were almost done, we just needed a few more bits.

"I'll quickly go get the dummies!" I yelled, skipping happily to the back of the store.

But as I turned the corner less than two inches away from me was a tall man.
I opened my mouth to scream but he held his pistol to my head and clasped his other hand round my mouth.

"Your gonna follow me young lady and nobody gets hurt."
I couldn't answer him, but I nodded, I didn't want to die now.

He took me round to the the back door and showed me to a car. Inside was a man with one hand and a woman tied up with a katana.

I'm guessing she had been kidnapped too.

She gave me a look of sympathy as the man shoved me onto the seat next to her.

"Merle come with me to get the Asian kid, he looks like he'll be harder to get."
The one-handed man nodded and exited the car, locking it behind him.

Straight after, the woman next to me spoke,
"I can help you get out, my hands are tied looser than yours." she said, hurrying to pull on the ropes.
It took a couple minutes but soon enough her hands were free and she ripped the duck tape from my mouth.

"Do you have a group?" she quickly asked me,
"Yes I do,"
"Where?"
"The prison, we cleared it out a couple months ago."
The girls eyes widened,
"Well what a coincidence, that's where I was headed."
She bawled her fists up and punched the glass from the window- god she was good at this.

"My names Michonne by the way," she said, helping me untie myself,
"Maggie," I smiled, then I remembered Glenn,
"How are we gonna help Glenn?" I asked,
"Who?"
"Glenn, my boyfriend."
Michonne stopped and looked at the sky deep in thought,
"I guess we'll just go in there and save the day." she said.

Surely she wasn't serious.

"Aren't they too strong for us?" I asked- but she shook her head,
"Maggie darlin', you underestimate me."

Once we were both completely free we climbed out the car window, Michonne went first then signalled to me when it was safe.

We crouched behind a car and watched inside the store. Glenn had to pistol to his head too.
"No." I whispered, about to get up but Michonne stopped me.
"It's not the right time yet." she said.
