Crossbow and Knives

The trade.

Two hours later and Beth, besides Carol's wheelchair, stood between most all of the officers in the building. Nicole no where to be seen. Nicole used this opportunity to her advantage to sneak into Dawn's office and get her knives with ease. Upon obtaining them again she felt herself feel normal again, with power and sanity. Leaving the office she slowly approached the main hall where the trade was taking place. She took a peak from behind a corner to see what happened. Rick was bringing Beth in for a small embrace and a kiss on her forehead.

"I want Noah."

'That dumb bitch.' Nicole frowned after hearing Dawn break the peaceful silence with her demand. She knew she needed to stop this so no problems would happen. She wants Beth and Carol to be free and if Dawn was going to stop it, she needed to stop Dawn.

Stepping from behind the corner; Nic pasted two other patients before speaking. "You don't need Noah, Dawn." She said which caused everyone's attention to go to her. Including the attention of a certain archer.

Daryl's attention was more on her, shocked to see her. He, like the rest that came in thought she was dead. An anger was begining to grow in him. Rick lied to him, his family.

"What are you doing, Nicole?!" Dawn demanded to know, they made a deal that Nicole would stay out of sight.

"Stopping you from being even more of a stupid bitch." Nic commented as she walked past the line of officers and Steven. Standing in front of them all. "You told me I'm here to work for you, Noah's not apart of this anymore."

As Nicole was speaking Beth went back over to Dawn, nonchalantly taking a pair of medical scissors from her cast out. Dawn's attention went back to Beth and they exchanged looks. "I get it now." The blonde said before stabbing Dawn in the left shoulder with the scissor. Suddenly there was a gunshot from behind Nicole and a bullet through Beth's head. There was a moment of silence as eyes widened. A reflect from Daryl brought his gun up and a bullet went through Dawn's head. The officers behind Nicole prepared to hold their guns back up and same either Rick's group.

"Enough!" Nicole shouted, though her comment was mostly for the officers. She glared between the two groups and turned to the officers. "I heard what ya'll were saying about Dawn! You wanted her dead anyway, now you have it! Assholes." Her hands clenched into fist. Some of Dawn's blood on her face moved down her cheek.

"If you want to join us you can." Rick soon told the officers. Daryl slowly went over to Beth's body and lifted her from the ground. Nicole turned away from the officers and went to Dawn's body. Taking the pair of scissors out she soon lifted Dawn's body in her own arms. "I'll be behind you guys. I'm not in prestine shape after being stabbed twice within the same week." She commented like nothing happened between her and Rick.

"What are you going to do with Dawn?" Officer Shepard asked Nicole.

"Bury her."
