___

Remember all the things we wanted

Now all our memories, they're haunted

We were always meant to say goodbye

Even with our fists held high

It never would've worked out right

We were never meant for do or die

___

Rosanna wakes up dazed, inside a car on the side of a road. The sun is up now. There's a black woman with dreadlocks, cradling her head in her lap.

She quickly jumps up, hitting her head against the window on accident. The woman tries to help her, but Rosanna grabs the woman's wrist. "Who the hell are you?"

"Michonne." She says softly.

"Where are my people? Where's Rick? Glenn? Where are they?!"

Michonne gently grabs Rosanna's hand. "They'll be here soon. Don't worry."

Rosanna nods, not quite sure why she is so easy to trust this woman. She lets Michonne's wrist go. She holds her own head with her free hand. It's pounding.

"Headache?"

Rosanna nods again. Suddenly she spots movement in the woods.

Rick, Glenn, Maggie, and Daryl pile out of the trees. Trailing behind them is Merle.

She opens the car door and almost trips as she makes her way to Glenn.

He wraps her in a hug. He turns around and spots Merle and his nostrils flare. He steps in front of Rosanna and looks at Daryl. "What the hell is he doing here?"

He holds up an automatic gun and Daryl slaps it away. "Hey, hey, hey!"

"He tried to kill me!"

Daryl groans. "He helped me get out."

Glenn scoffs. "Yeah, right after he beat the shit out of you."

Daryl grinds his teeth but says nothing. Merle coughs out a laugh.

"Damn, you look like you've gone native, brother."

Daryl faces him. "No more than you hanging out with that psycho back there."

Merle smiles. "Oh, yeah, man. He is a charmer; I got to tell you that. Been putting the wood to your girlfriend Andrea." He says pointing at Michonne. "Big time, baby."

Rosanna's mouth drops open. "Andrea is alive?!"

The others are just as surprised.

Glenn looks at Merle. "Andrea's in Woodbury?"

Michonne nods. "Right next to the Governor."

Rick looks at her. "You know Andrea?" 

She doesn't reply so he pulls out his gun, pointing it at her. "Do you know Andrea?"

"Yep, she does. Her and blondie spent all winter cuddling up in the forest. Mm-mmm-mmm. Yeah. My Nubian queen here had two pet walkers. No arms, cut off the jaws, kept them in chains. Kind of ironic now that I think about it." Merle laughs.

Rosanna feels lightheaded. Back at the highway, she begged the others to go find her. She knew she was still alive. Now she's probably corrupted just like her brother.
