The ghost of you! (Maggie and Glenn fanfic)

Part 9: Rescued

Josephine Rogers POV

I was sitting between Optimus's legs and he was playing with my hair as Mommy talked with Glenn. I then rested my head on Optimus's chest and he gently kissed my forehead. 

I then saw Glenn walk over to the walker. I saw him start to rip off the walker's arm. I winced as he did. He then broke the arm and ripped a piece of the bone out. He handed it to Maggie.  

As soon as the door opened Mommy and Glenn attacked the men. One of them fired shots and Optimus tackled me. 

Merle pointed a gun at my mommy and Optimus tackled him and Merle pinned him down his knife to his neck. 

Mommy grabbed the gun. "LET HIM GO!"

"Okay." I saw someone behind her. Merle snatched the gun. "GET UP!"

Optimus groaned. 

I was crying as they put bags over our heads. 

We were being moved. Suddenly there was a bang and I flinched. I got scared. Someone grabbed me and I got scared. I saw it was Rick. "Come on."

We got in a building and as soon as we got in, I was tackled by Daryl. He hugged me tightly. I hugged him back. "Ain't no way out back here." Daryl said. 

He then kissed my forehead then let go of me. 

"Where's that man?" Mommy asked. I saw Michonne. "Where's Blade?" I asked. 

"He was just behind us." Rick said. 

"Want me to go looking for him?" I asked Rick. "No, We gotta get you guys out of here." I nodded. "Daryl, this was Merle." I whimpered. He got over to me. 

"Hey, it's okay!" He hugged me tightly. I hugged him back. 

"Does he know I'm still with you?" Daryl asked. "He does now. Rick, I'm sorry. We couldn't hold out. We told him where the prison was. He was gonna hurt Optimus-" Glenn started to apologize. "Don't. No need to apologize." Rick told us. 

"They're gonna be looking for us." Maggie said. 

"We have to get back. Can you walk? We got a car a few miles out." Rick told us. "I'm good." Optimus said. Mommy and Glenn helped him up. 

"Hey, if Merle's around, I need to see him." Daryl said to Rick. "Not now, we're in hostile territory." Rick stated. 

"He's my brother. I ain't--" Daryl started. 

"Look at what he did!" 

Daryl looked and saw Optimus had his head on Josie's shoulder. 

"Look, we gotta-- we gotta get out of here now." Rick said. 

"Maybe I can talk to him. Maybe I can work something out!" Daryl tried to reason. "No, no, no. You're not thinking straight. Look, no matter what they say, they're hurt. Glenn can barely walk. How are we gonna make it out if this 'governor' catches up to us or overrun by walkers? I need you. Now, are you with us?"

"Yeah." Daryl said finally. 

We got out in the street and I heard a thud. Grimlock roared angrily as he fired his fire at the men on top of the buses. 

We hid in the buildings. I helped Optimus walk. 

They fired at us as we got over to the buses. Oscar pulled Optimus up when I heard a gunshot. It hit Oscar and he dropped. "NO!"

I got over to him. His wound was bleeding badly. "RICK! RICK! RICK!" I screamed. 

"Josie! Come on." Optimus begged me. I climbed up on the bus. "Daryl!" I yelled. "GO!"

We got outside Woodbury. 

I rubbed Optimus's back as he coughed. We heard a sound. I looked. I saw Michonne and Blade. "Blade!" I cried. I ran into his arms. 

He hugged me tightly. He sighed in relief. "Don't scare me like that again!" Blade whispered. I smiled. 

"Daryl! Did you see Daryl?" I asked. "Crossbow?" I nodded. "They took him.
