|Missing Love|

Chapter 15

*Shelby's P.O.V*

"I'm surprised there aren't that many walkers out right now." Magna acknowledged while we were out on a run.

We left about almost an hour ago and we found some stuff that can be used in the community. We even found some canned foods which would be very useful once it's dinner time.

And now we're just walking around.

"Maybe they saw us and thought they didn't want to mess with us." I said which caused Magna to let out a laugh.

"I would be scared of your bow and arrows if I was a walker."

I just shook my head at her answer as we were walking upon a trail. We figured that we didn't want to go back to Hilltop right now. We were doing completely fine at the moment. Why stop the fun?

Before I went on this run, Alden told me to be safe and that he'll be working with Earl once I get back.

We shared a kiss before he let me go with Magna.

I'm sure Alden is nervous about the fact that I'm outside of Hilltop and he's not with me. He's worried and he doesn't want anything to happen to me. Hell, I would be worried too if he was outside of Hilltop and I wasn't with him.

I just have to keep giving him reassurance that I'll come back in one piece. I promised him.

"Do you know what's happening at Alexandria?" Magna then asked me.

"My brother got in contact with the radio over at Hilltop." I started. "He talked to me and said that Alpha is releasing walkers over there. It's like every hour walkers are in their territory and they're busy killing walkers. It's happening during the day and night."

Which I kind of find weird because then my brother was explaining to me that Lydia said that her mother would release the walker horde all at once and not in waves.

Which means that Alpha's walker horde is still out there.

But where? That's what I wanna know.

"Is she just targeting Alexandria?" Magna questioned. "Because I would've figured that she would've wanted to target Hilltop as well."

"That's strange." I commented.

What is really Alpha's plan? Why is she only targeting Alexandria when everyone knows that she knows about Hilltop as well.

Unless she does have a plan and we are completely unprepared for it.

It won't surprise me because Alpha seems like the person to strike when we least expect it and catch us off guard.

"Whatever her plan is, it's gonna fail. It'll be unexpected to her."

I agreed with what Magna said.

"I know you have seen her face to face before. When she arrived at Hilltop that one time." I then brought it up.

I completely remember that moment. I was there when it happened. I was already living at Hilltop.

Magna nodded. "Yeah, that was when she came back with Alden and Luke."

I looked at the ground. "Yeah, that's right."

Thinking back to that moment sometimes kills me. Especially since I wasn't talking to Alden back then. He was with Enid so when he was released from Alpha and the whisperers, he ran into her arms and not mine.

And plus, I was talking to a heartbroken Henry after that because he had to watch Lydia go back to her mother after she got slapped in the face.

"Speaking of Alden.." Magna said. "How is it going?"
