The world has ended and there's more people dead than alive, and somehow Andie has ended up completely and utterly alone. Nowhere is safe, but she can't keep running. And after captivity turns to friendship and love, the teenager must decide what di...

"Hey, señorita!" Merle calls as Andie finishes packing her things in her cell. "Let's get this show on the road."
"I'm coming!"
The brunette hauls her stuff out, and Beth helps her load it into the trunk of the silver car. The others already have their own stuff packed up and ready to go.
"Are we sure this is a good idea?" Beth asks as she looks around.
"It's all we got." Andie tells her. "This is our home, and we're not giving it up."
She starts past Merle, wanting to give the prison one more once over, but Merle grabs her arm and pulls her to a stop. Her jaw tightens as she looks up at him, questioning what he wants.
"What's gotten into you? You're worse than you were yesterday." He says, and she takes a deep breath. "This means more to you than keeping the prison."
"I never ran before." She whispers. "My pack — we fought for what was ours. We stood our ground, we never gave up. Come whatever, it never mattered. We didn't let others run us out of our home."
"You didn't run from hunters?"
"I didn't run from anybody."
"We ain't running now. Why are you so angry?"
"I'm not angry."
"What do you got to prove? And to who?"
"To myself." She takes a deep breath as she looks up at him. "That I wasn't just a good person because of my alpha. That I didn't only make the right calls and fight the good fight...because he called the shots."
"You wanna know you have it in you." He says as he lifts his head.
"Sound familiar?" She asks. "Like why you took Michonne to meet the Governor, but then changed your mind, why you were ready to sacrifice yourself for the sake of everyone else."
"For the sake of my brother." He corrects, and she shrugs.
"We all gotta start somewhere."
"Then I guess we better start." Merle says, and she then gets Hershel and the youngest three to where they're gonna be holed up during this whole fight. The older Dixon has to fend off questions from his brother about what they were whispering about.
From inside the prison corridors, they can hear the damage being done to their home. The guard towers being blown to pieces, the bullet holes being put in their walls.
Andie listens closer, and she knows when they're inside cell block C. She's closer to the cell block than all of the others; she's the fastest and she can get this done the way it needs to be done.
