A couple days past and the group got ready to execute their plan. Delilah packed all her bags and abandoned her empty cell, meeting everyone outside. Shane took her bags and stuffed them in the car Hershel was going to take with Beth, Carl, and Judith.

Everyone then went into position in the tombs waiting for the Governor's attack. Delilah waited with Shane and Daryl by her side silently. An explosion shook the ground and gunfire was heard up above. Delilah got more nervous by the second. The creak of the tomb door opening signaled Delilah to get the smoke bomb ready.

The Governor's people were scattered all around the tombs just like they figured. Delilah threw a smoke bomb at their feet. The popping sound made her ears ring, but the Governor's people started to freak out. Walkers started coming at them as they scrambled to get out.

The Governor's people left the prison and Glenn and Maggie started shooting at them as planned. When the shooting stopped Delilah regrouped with the others outside. They ran outside and looked at the empty field in front of them.

"We did it. We drove them out." Rick said, examining the field.

"They cleared the walkers for us." Delilah shrugged, looking at the walkers that were taken down by their tank.

"We should go after them" Glenn suggested and Daryl agreed.

"We should finish it." Daryl agreed.

"It is finished, didn't you see them hightail it out of here?" Maggie argued.

"They could come back, they know we're here." Shane announced looking at his friend for his decision.

"Yeah, we can't take the chance and he's not going to stop." Glenn voiced. The group all wanted the same thing.

"We gotta go after them." Delilah chimed in.

"They're right. We can't keep living like this." Carol whined.

"So we take the fight back to Woodbury. We barely made it back last time." Maggie addressed she wasn't comfortable with their choice.

"I don't care." Daryl boomed.

"Yeah, let's check on the others." Rick said, leading them back into the prison. The group waited a few seconds before Hershel's little group came in through their tunnel. Delilah followed everyone outside while Rick stayed behind to talk to Hershel.

Delilah grabbed a couple extra guns she had stashed just in case. She put one in the back of her pants. Her automatic was on her back. She examined the prison one more time before getting into the car with Shane.

Daryl led the car on his motorcycle until they ran into a couple of the Governor's vehicles in the road. Delilah got out of the car with everyone else to investigate. Michonne and Daryl took care of the walkers. That were by the cars. Daryl shrugged at them before jumping back when someone banged on the inside of the vehicle.

Delilah raised her gun up in instinct seeing a woman in the window. Daryl opened the door letting her out, all guns on her.

"Please, it's just me." The woman cried, her hands up in surrender.

"You're the people we were fighting? The Governor...he killed all these people." She stuttered.

The group took her in and took her back to Woodbury. By the time they got there it was dark outside. They parked their cars a little bit behind so they didn't get caught. The five of them sneakily hid behind cars outside the fence of Woodbury. The group and Woodbury's people started shooting at each other.

"Tyreese! It's me. Don't-" The women yelled and Rick pulled her back down.

"Karen! Karen, are you okay?" Tyreese asked.

"I'm fine." She reassured, getting up from the ground with her hands up.

"Where's the Governor?" Tyreese asked her.

"He fired on everyone. He killed everyone." Karen explained.

"Why are you with them?" Tyreese asked worryingly.

"They saved me." Karen answered, defending the group. Delilah peaked through the car window and saw Tyreese and his sister pointing their guns at the car.

"We're coming out!" Rick said, getting up from the car with his hands up. Delilah slowly followed his lead and put her hands up in surrender. Tyreese opened the gate for them.

"What are you doing here?" Tyreese asked them calmly.

"We were coming to finish this until we saw what the Governor did." Rick answered truthfully.

"He--he killed them?" Tyreese asked in disbelief. Rick nodded his head slightly.

"Karen told us Andrea hopped the wall going for the prison. She never made it. She might be here." Rick explained.

Tyreese welcomed them in and the little group followed Rick to where Glenn and Maggie were held. Delilah held her gun up as they approached the door. Rick counted up ti three and opened the door. Delilah saw a dead walker on the floor.

"Andrea!" Michonne exclaimed. Delilah tilted her head to get a better angle. Andrea was on the floor covered in blood. Michonne propped her up off the floor. The rest of the group piled in.

"I tried to stop them." Andrea said, weakly.

"You're burning up." Michonne told her friend. Andrea lifted her jacket to reveal a bite. Delilah sighed at the sight of the big bite on her neck.

Andrea asked about the rest of them were alive. Andrea smiled when she heard everyone was okay.

"I just didn't want anyone to die...I can do it myself." Andrea told them.

"No." Michonne denied.

"While I still can, please." Andrea begged them. Delilah gave her the gun she grabbed.

"I tried." Andrea told them.

"I know." Delilah said, giving her a slight smile. The group left the room so Andrea and Michonne could be alone. After the gunshot Michonne came out and gave Delilah the gun back. When they left the building, people were wanting to come with them. A school bus was outside the fence. The group led everyone in Woodbury to the prison.

Delilah got out of the car and met with Glenn and Maggie. They hugged her and helped everyone out of the bus and into cells. Delilah helped the last person in their cell and turned around to see Shane. She smiled and walked over to him.

The two of them wrapped their arms around each other into an embrace.

"I'd say we won." Shane said, letting the hug go with his hands around her waist. Delilah chuckled and grabbed his face, pulling him into a long kiss.

"I think we did." Delilah smiled.
