Destruction ||| Glenn Rhee x Reader (TWD X Reader)

Chapter 54) Field

Y/N was inside the cell with Judith when a gunshot rang out from outside. She jumps up from her cot.

Who just fired? Nobody would fire unless there was an emergency.

Ricks outside. Michonne is outside. Carol, Axel, Carl, Beth, Hershel, Sasha.

Glenn left to go to the other side of the prison. He took Tyreese with him. Y/N rushes into the main hallway, baby still in hand. Maggie, who was laying down, looks at her, fear in her eyes. "What the hell was that?"

Y/N shakes her head. "I don't-"

Suddenly more gunfire goes off. Lots of it. Y/N hands Judith to Maggie and grabs her sword. She also picks up a gun and heads for the door.

"What are you doing?" Maggie asks.

"If he's here, i'm gonna kill him."

With that, she opens the door to see chaos.

Hershel is crawling in the overgrown grass. Sasha is with him. Rick is on the bridge outside the gates. Michonne is behind a truck in the field. Carol is hiding behind Axels dead body. Carl and Beth are taking cover near some metal bleachers.

Y/N looks past them, to the gate where a single truck sits. Several men are there, holding weapons. Some are in the prison towers. The Governor is there.

Y/N gasps as a bullet nearly hits Hershel. She holds up her gun and fires. She keeps shooting. She recognizes one of the men. Martinez. He spots her and fires at her. She dodges behind a half wall and curses to herself.

She stands up and runs back inside the building where Maggie is pacing anxiously. Maggie uses the hand not holding Judith and tosses a few guns to Y/N.

Y/N rubs back out and shouts. "Beth!"

She hands one to her and runs to a pile of nearby garbage for cover. She sees Carol still hiding beneath Axels now mutilated body.

"Carol, go!"

She aims for the man in the tower and fires as Carol runs to Carl.

It goes silent for a moment. Then, all of a sudden, a large cube truck drives up the dirt road and directly through the prison fences into the field. Michonne ducks out of the way as the truck flies past her.

The truck stops in the middle of the field and everyone holds their breath. Suddenly the back opens and unleashes dozens of walkers into the grassy area.

Hershel is still in the grass. He tries crawling away faster. Sasha fires off a few shots. Y/N holds her gun up and shoots the man in the tower directly in the head. Walkers from outside the prison are now headed towards the open gates because of all the noise.

The Governor and his men get back in their truck and drive away. Another truck pulls up and Y/N sees Glenn and Tyreese inside.

Carol, Beth, Carl and Y/N all leave the courtyard and enter the field to try and take down some walkers. Michonne uses her sword to kill a couple as she rushes to save Hershel and Sasha.

Rick is pinned against the outer fence by several walkers when suddenly an arrow shoots one. Daryl is back. Merle is with him.

Glenn pulls his own truck into the field and gets out to help Michonne carry Hershel into the truck, as Tyreese climbs into the drivers seat. Sasha climbs in after them.

Everyone rushes back inside and shuts the gate, trapping the walkers in the field. The number will only grow, considering the outside fence is destroyed.

Maggie finally comes outside holding Judith to see the damage.

Their home is falling apart before their very eyes.

Inside the cell block, Rick shakes his head. "We're not leaving."

Hershel speaks from his seat on the stairs. "We can't stay here."

Y/N sighs. "What if there's another sniper? A wood pallet won't stop one of those rounds."

Beth scratches her head. "We can't even go outside."

Sasha shrugs. "Not in the daylight."

Glenn turns to face everyone. "Rick says we're not running, we're not running."

Merle, who is on the other side of the locked cell door, speaks. "No. Better to live like rats."

Rick rolls his eyes. "You got a better idea?"

"Yeah, we should have slid out of here last night and lived to fight another day. But we lost that window, didn't we? I'm sure he's got scouts on every road out of this place by now."

"We ain't scared of that prick." Daryl says.

"Y'all should be. That truck through the fence thing, that's just him ringing the doorbell. We might have some thick walls to hide behind, but he's got the guns and the numbers. And if he takes the high ground around this place, shoot, he could just starve us out if he wanted to." Merle replies.

Maggie grinds her teeth. "Let's put him in the other cell block."

Y/N sighs. "He's got a point."

Maggie points angrily at Merle. "This is all your fault. You started this!"

Beth walks down the stairs. "What difference is it whose fault it is? What do we do?"

Hershel looks at Rick. "I say we should leave. Now Axel's dead. We can't just sit here."

Rick sighs and tries walking away but Hershel stands and shouts. "Get back here!"

Rick stops. Hershel walks up to him with his crutches. "You're slipping, Rick. We've all seen it. We understand why. But now is not the time. You once said this isn't a democracy. Now you have to own up to that. I put my family's life in your hands. So get your head clear and do something."

Rick takes a deep breath. He hands a gun to Maggie. "Take watch, eyes open, head down. Field's filled with walkers." He turns to the others. "I didn't see any snipers out there, but we'll keep Maggie on watch. Sasha too."

Daryl nods. "I'll get up in the guard tower, take out half them walkers, give these guys a chance to fix the fence."

"Or we could use some of the cars to get the bus in place." Michonne says.

Y/N purses her lips. "We can't access the field without burning through our bullets."

"So we're trapped in here. There's barely any food or ammo." Glenn says.

Daryl shrugs. "Been here before. We'll be alright."

Glenn shakes his head. "That's when it was just us. Before there was a snake in the nest."

Daryl scoffs. "Man, we gonna go through this again? Look, Merle's staying here. He's with us now. Get used to it. All of y'all."

Daryl climbs the staircase and Glenn lowers his voice. "Seriously, Rick, I don't think Merle living here is really gonna fly."

"I can't just kick him out."

"He hurt Y/N!" Glenn shouts.

Y/N inhales sharply. "Enough! Jesus christ! I'm fucking fine! I'm so sick of this shit. I'm a hell of a lot stronger than you're making me out to be. I survived. I'll continue to survive. I'm fine."

Everyone goes silent. It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop a mile away. 

Y/N walks to her cell quietly. "I'm fine." She mumbles.
