FEARLESS ➳ TWD¹ [REWRITE/COMPLETED]

11 ➳ SOON

~ A/N: Hello, guys, as most of you know (if you watch the actual show) in this particular episode, two separate groups spread out. However, for Tess, I think that she needs to spend some time with Glenn. So, this is something I made-up and is from my imagination. Thank you for understanding. All the love .xx ~

"NICE ponytail," I snorted at Eugene as I walked passed him. He was now sporting a ponytail with his mullet.

"Thanks," he acknowledged before walking off towards Father Gabriel. "Nice braids."

"Thanks," I smiled back at him as I stood in the middle of Alexandria, watching everything happening around me.

I was feeling much better from when I was shot last week. I felt like I was back to normal and am now ready to get out by myself — or even with the whole group. Despite what Rick and them may say, I'm ready to head out.

I received word this morning from Denise that there are two groups heading out today. I guess that means that I get to decide what I want to do today. Do I go with Denise, Rosita, and Daryl or do I ask to go with Abraham and Eugene? Or, of course, do I stay here or go out there on my own?

However, seeing as I wasn't asked to go with either group, I will go out on my own – despite what Rick may testify. So, I waited until Daryl and them were officially gone before I even thought about getting my stuff together.

So, when the coast was clear, I asked Gabriel to open the gate and he did without any hesitation at all. Before I stepped out, though, he simply said with a smile, "Be safe." I thanked him in return.

"Whoa. Hold up there," I heard somebody say and I turned back around on my heel to see who the voice belonged to. It was Glenn, who was standing there with confusion written all over his face. "Tess, what the hell are you doing?"

"Heading out," I coughed out, not knowing how to take this approach with Glenn. "Why?"

"Tess, you know that you can't go out there by yourself – especially after what just happened last week," he stated, arms up. Obviously, he was far too concerned about me. "Well... If you're going out there, then you should've went with Daryl and them or even Abraham and Eugene."

I shrugged and huffed out, "I wasn't invited."

He dimmed his eyes and tried again, "Okay, well, if you're going out there now, then you need somebody to go with you."

I faked a smile and asked, "Like who? Everybody's busy."

"Like me," he stated before turning his back on me. "Let me go get my stuff."

"Glenn, no. Don't—"

"I'm going. Just wait on me for a minute," he called out as he began to walk back inside. "Gabe, don't let her leave without me!"

With that said, I furrowed my head to the side and watched as Gabriel took another stance against me. It was clear that he wasn't going to let me leave now. What Glenn says, goes. Apparently, that is.

To add extra drama, I crossed my arms across my chest and tapped my foot. Of course, I really liked Glenn and loved spending time with him — but he's making me feel like such a child that needs a guardian to watch after me twenty-four-seven. Well, if it wasn't Rick and Daryl making me stay back, it had to be Glenn making the call.

A moment later, Glenn was back with his backpack and his rifle. Of course, I could see that he had more than that, though. He had his pistol and knife, too. He was locked and loaded, and ready to go.
