The Hunter's Prey

Chapter 4

By morning I saw Daryl leave with Aaron. Daryl had a new bike that he built himself. Sasha came up and took over. I headed over to where I was supposed to meet the run crew. I saw Eugene and Noah talking and a couple other people packing up a van. Glenn was packing something and he looked up, seeing me.

"So, you got tired of fixing cars." He smiled as I got closer.

"Nah, just wanted to see you again." I joked, Glenn laughed as he went to grab something.

Eugene needed something that would help with something. I honestly couldn't keep up with all the things he would say in a sentence. He didn't want to come with us, something about how he would just weigh us down or whatever. Tara managed to convince him to come. Deanna came to wish us luck and to say goodbye to her son, before we got on the road. I sat in the back with Noah, Tara, Eugene and Glenn. Aiden and Nicholas were up front. Noah had started to ask me about how a car works and what not. We talked back and forth as I explained how you would approach certain problems and solve them, until we reached the warehouse. Everyone got ready and loaded their guns.

"That's it there?" Tara asked.

"That's the warehouse." Aiden responded. "Looks like that door is our fastest way in and out."

"We should know all the exits first. So there's a plan if things go south." Glenn added.

"Already got one. It's called going out the front." Nicholas smirked, I so wanted to knock him on his ass again.

"(Y/n), heads up." Tara gestured to a walker coming up.

"Got it." I pulled out my knife and sunk it into its skull.

"Look at you, with the knife skills." Aiden spoke, Aiden had improved since that last time I saw him. "Glenn's right, we should do a perimeter check. Know our exits just in case."

We separated off into groups and circled the perimeter. I was the only one by myself. I circled finding nothing and I met up with the rest of the group. Glenn and Noah discovered the front was a no go. It was surrounded by walkers, going that way would practically be suicide. We still pushed forward knowing there was no backup plan. Once we confirmed that we wouldn't be swarmed by walkers we entered the warehouse. We broke off into two groups to search the building. I was with Glenn, Noah, Nicholas and Aiden. Glenn held up his hand to have us stop walking. We all stood listening. I could hear walkers in the distance. They had to be trapped somehow.

"They're trapped behind something." I whispered, so the walkers wouldn't hear.

"How do you know?" Aiden asked, whispering as well.

"Cause they aren't here." I responded, as Glenn signaled to keep moving.

We rounded a corner and found the source of the walkers. There was a gate holding them back. Tara and Eugene caught back up with us as we stared at the massive group of walkers.

"Let's get to work." Aiden spoke and we all went to find what we needed.

Tara and Eugene walked off to find what he needed, while I stuck with Glenn and Noah. Nicholas, and Aiden walked off to make sure we were safe. We were in the aisle right next to Tara and Eugene when we heard them say they found what Eugene needed and I smiled as I found what I needed.

"Got it."

I smiled at Noah and grabbed the small box. It's funny how such a small thing could fix a car, but it would. Silenced gunshots drew our attention as we rushed over. Glenn, Noah and I watched over a pile of boxes as Aiden shot at an armored walker.

"It's got armor, let it come closer." Glenn advised Aiden.

"I got it." Aiden proceeded to shoot at the walker repeatedly.
