The closer the three siblings got to the prison the quieter Merle got. Almost the whole time he was complaining and begging them not to go. "C'mon guys, you know they won't accept me. Like you always said, D. We stay together, right...always?" Merle said, making them stop. Delilah took a deep breath and turned around.

"Then why didn't you wait for us on the roof?" Delilah asked and continued walking. Gunshots went off in the distance.

"That's the prison." Daryl warned. They started sprinting low towards the prison.

"Is that the Governor?" Delilah asked looking at the truck speeding around the prison yards. There were walkers loose in the field coming towards the group. The three of them spotted Rick off in the distance with 3 walkers surrounding him against the fence.Daryl and Delilah started running in towards him with Merle close behind.

Daryl and Delilah killed the ones in his side and Merle got the one in the middle. His knife on his arm inches away from Rick's face through the walkers skull. The Governor fled and they got welcomed into the prison again with Merle.

The siblings and Rick and Hershel walked back up to their group. Delilah saw Axel's dead body on the floor. Carol was covered in blood, his blood.

Shane spotted Delilah and immediately ran over and hugged her. Delilah felt safe again with his touch. Carol came up and hugged Daryl and then Delilah. "That was the Governor, right?" Delilah asked and Merle nodded.

"Yep, and he's gonna be back." Merle said, everyone glaring at him.

"So, is he staying?" Glenn asked Rick, giving Merle a death stare.

"He will be locked up, in the cell block for now." Rick told him.

The group cleaned up the yard from the Governor's mess. Delilah helped Daryl and a few others with the bodies. They buried Axel and they said their goodbyes.

Delilah and Daryl checked on Merle a couple of times. He was mainly just looking for drugs hidden around his cell block.

Delilah was helping around outside when she heard Carl call for his dad. Delilah watched them run down to the gate and quickly unlocked it. Daryl came up behind her and they both started to make their way down to the gate.

Delilah spotted a familiar blonde. They reached the gate with the rest of the group. Rick was searching Andrea against the fence.

"How do we know this ain't a set up? Are you alone?" Rick asked letting her go. Andrea looked surprised at the group and how they were treating her.

"I'm alone." Andrea said with her hands up.

Michonne and Andrea started arguing about how Andrea abandoned Michonne for the Governor. Andrea got pretty close with the Governor like dating close.

Andrea noticed the fallen people in their group. She told them the Governor's plans and how they could possibly fix it. No one in the group thought this could ever be fixed. The Governor started something and he's not going to stop.

The group sent Andrea on her way back to Woodbury with a plan. They gave her a secret knife and a few supplies. That night she would kill the Governor in his sleep and end all of it.

Merle got welcomed into the prison. No one agreed with Rick's decision but Merle picked a side. A better side than the Governor's side. Delilah couldn't care less. She has her two brothers she always had in the end.

That night Delilah lied in bed, staring at the ceiling. Merle's words replayed in her mind. 'He's gonna be back' She figured maybe people are just as bad as the dead. A knock got her attention and she stood up looking behind her at the door.

"Hey." She said tiredly smiling at Shane in the doorway.

"Hey." He said back, walking into her room.

"Can't sleep?" She asked, sitting up where her legs dangled down to the ground.

"Yeah. You okay? You haven't said barely anything since you got back." Shane asked her sympathetically.

"It's nothing...just bad memories came back with Merle." She answered, staring off into the darkness of the cell. Shane sat next to her and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah? I wanna show you something. C'mon get up." Shane got up and Delilah furrowed her eyebrows.

"What? It's like two in the morning." She exclaimed standing up while Shane took her hand.

"It's one actually." Shane jokingly corrected her.

"Same thing." Delilah chuckled. Shane laughed, leading her out of her cell.

"I can't see." Delilah complained in the dark.

"It's okay. If we run into a wall we won't die." Shane joked. Delilah scoffed and they kept walking until they made it outside. Delilah saw the outside moonlight shine the brightest she's ever seen.

"Wow, a full moon." Delilah said in a mocking tone.

"Well...my dear, how many times do people get to star gaze in an apocalypse?" Shane said walking farther out in the field.

"Really? We're star gazing?" Delilah crossed her arms.

"Just lay on the grass and stop complaining." Shane smiled and helped her into the ground.

Delilah lied down on the grass next to Shane and looked up at the star filled sky. She couldn't help but start laughing. She covered her face with both of her hands and laughed. Shane turned his head and looked at her in confusion.

"I'm sorry." She said out of breath and continued laughing.

"What is so funny." Shane started chuckled and looked at her like she was insane but soon started laughing with her.

"I love it." She smiled looking back up at the stars.

"I love you..." Shane said softly. Delilah's smile faded in surprise. She sat up and Shane followed. She smiled letting a sigh. She grabbed Shane's shirt and pulled him to her slamming their lips together.

Shane lied her on the grass not breaking the kiss. The kiss got even more aggressive and Delilah started taking off her shirt from underneath him. Shane furrowed his brows.

"It's dark as hell out here no ones gonna see." Delilah reassured him.

"Whatever you say, princess."
