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

Chapter 55) Unfriendly

The headache pounds inside her skull. It feels like she's being stabbed over and over. The pain is excruciating. She rubs her temples to try and make it go away. She wants to scream. To punch a wall.

Her best friend is dead. Her brother is dead. Her mother is dead. Her father is probably dead too.

Everyone thinks that she's so weak. That she's been pushed to her limits. She hasn't. She's just getting started.

If only this stupid headache would go away.

She pulls out the bottle of pills from her bag. She pops five in her mouth and swallows them down with water.

She looks at the bottle. She sighs.

The headache just gets worse.

Y/N walks out to the main room to find Michonne doing sit-ups on the floor. Merle is sitting on the edge of a table.

"Smart to stay fit. Don't leave out the cardio. You know, if we're gonna live under the same roof, we should clear the air. This whole hunting you down thing, that was just business. Carrying out orders." He tells her.

Michonne eyes him. "Hmm. Like the Gestapo."

"Yeah. Exactly. I've done a lot of things I ain't proud of. Before and after. Anyway, hope we can get past it. Let bygones be bygones."

He walks out of the room and Y/N sits down next to her. "He's an asshole." She mumbles.

Michonne huffs. "You're telling me."

After a moment, Michonne looks over at Y/N. She's pale. Sweaty. "Are you okay?"

Y/N sighs. "Why does everyone keep asking me that?"

"You don't look okay. Physically." Michonne puts a hand on Y/N's forehead. "You're burning up."

Y/N shrugs. "Probably just a cold. I'm f-"

"I swear to god if you say that you're fine one more time."

"Fine. I'm not fine. I just... I don't know... he deserves to pay. For what he did. To me. To my family. To Glenn." She says quietly.

"Are we talking about Merle, or the governor?" Michonne asks.

"You know who."

Michonne nods. "He'll pay. I promise you, he will."

Suddenly Carl bursts in the building. "Andrea." He pants.

Michonne and Y/N stand quickly, grabbing their weapons and rushing out the door. Merle, Daryl, Rick, and Tyreese follow. Carol, Beth and Glenn are on the overhang. Sasha and Maggie stand nearby. Hershel is inside with Judith.

They all glance around. Andrea is holding onto a rod that is gripping a walker by the throat. "Open the gate!" She yells.

Rick doesn't. "Are you alone?"

Some walkers in the field realize that Andrea isn't a walker and start to follow her. "Rick!"

Rick tosses the keys to Daryl who opens the gate. Andrea lets go of the walker and Y/N holds her gun up in the woman's face.

"Hands up! Turn around!" She shouts angrily. She shoves her former friend against the gate and checks her for weapons. Once she's clear, she pushes Andrea to the ground.

Rick walks up. "I asked if you were alone." The others keep watch around the sides of the prison nervously.

Andrea looks around at them like they're crazy. "I am." She says.

Rick takes the bag off of Andreas shoulders and tosses it. She looks up at Y/N. Then she spots Michonne.

Rick leans down. "Welcome back."

They lead her inside the cell block and she takes it all in. She walks up and hugs Carol tightly.

"After you saved me, we thought you were dead." Carol says.

Andrea pulls away from the hug and sees Hershel with his missing leg and crutches. "Oh my god."

She looks around. "I can't believe this. Where's Shane?"

Rick shakes his head.

"And Lori?"

Hershel speaks up. "She had a girl. Lori didn't survive."

Y/N bites her lip. "Neither did T-Dog. Or Archer."

Maggie lowers her head. Andrea sighs. "I'm so sorry."

It's silent for a second and she turns to Y/N. "You all live here?"

"Here and the cell block." She replies.

Andrea points down the hall. "There? Well can I go in?"

Rick steps in front of her. "I won't allow that."

She scoffs. "I'm not the enemy, Rick."

Y/N rolls her eyes. "We had that field and courtyard until your boyfriend tore down the fence with a truck and shot us up." She says, voice laced with venom.

Andrea furrows her brows. "He said you fired first."

"Well he's lying." Rick says.

"He killed an inmate who survived in here." Hershel says.

Daryl nods. "We liked him. He was one of us."

"I didn't know anything about that. As soon as I found out, I came. I didn't even know you were in Woodbury until after the shoot-out." Andrea says.

Glenn crosses his arms. "That was days ago."

"I told you, I came as soon as I could."

She turns around and faces Michonne who leans against the wall. "What have you told them?"

"Nothing."

"I don't get it. I left Atlanta with you people and now I'm the odd man out?" Andrea asks.

Glenn cracks his neck, angrily. "He would've killed us."

Andrea points at Merle. "Isn't he the one who kidnapped you? Who beat you? Look, I cannot excuse or explain what Philip has done. But I am here trying to bring us together. We have to work this out."

Y/N stalks toward Andrea, with a killer-expression. "Yeah, well Philip raped me."

Andreas face drops.

Y/N continues. "He made me kill my own brother. He's the reason my mother is dead."

Andrea steps back. "Bellamy is dead?"

Y/N nods. "But I bet you didn't notice because you were too busy with Philips dick down your throat." She says shoving Andrea.

Andrea scoffs as Maggie and Michonne pull Y/N away from the blonde.

Y/N spits at her. "I'm gonna kill him. I don't know how, or when. But I will."

Andrea turns to Rick with a clenched jaw. "We can settle this. There is room at Woodbury for all of you."

Merle laughs. "You know better than that."

Hershel tilts his head. "What makes you think this man wants to negotiate? Did he say that?"

Andrea shakes her head. "No."

Rick stands with his hands on his hips. "Then why did you come here?"

"Because he's gearing up for war. The people are terrified. They see you as killers. They're training to attack."

Daryl sits on one of the tables, crossbow slung over his shoulder. "I tell you what. Next time you see Philip, you tell him I'm gonna take his other eye."

Glenn nods. "We've taken too much shit for too long. He wants a war? He's got one."

"Rick. If you don't sit down and try to work this out, I don't know what's gonna happen. He has a whole town. Look at you. You've lost so much already. You can't stand alone anymore." Andrea says.

Y/N removes herself from Michonne and Maggie's grasp. "You wanna make things right? Get us inside."

Andrea crosses her arms. "No. There are innocent people."

"Nobody is innocent anymore." Y/N replies.
