"Hi" I rock baby boy Payton in my arms, Bryce had him a couple days before we came back with the new bunch and supplies. Rick tells me how the Saviors have tried to attack, that people from different places like one from a junk yard have teamed up with Negan "I'm nana" looking at Glenn "he's beautiful Glenn" handing him back to him, I leave to deal with the Savior situation but also a herd situation.

When I get to Rick and the others, they look my way "So, tell me more about these Kingdom people" apparently there are people that live in the Kingdom and they are ruled by a King Ezekiel, if I can get him on my side we can bring him and his people here.

"He is one for dramatics" Michonne tells me "he has a deal with Negan, but it comes at a hefty cost. About eighty percent is given to the Saviors now"

"There are also the Hilltop people" Maggie tells me "their mostly farmers"

"Show me where each settlement is" on a map, Carl shows me where each settlement is.

"The junkyard people" Lori shakes her head rubbing her belly, she's pregnant again but this time from someone she met from that group we found years ago. The army guy? Yeah one of them, Kallias I think his name is "they won't agree but the others will, Hilltop and the Kingdom"

"I'll go in person to the Kingdom" I say to them "and Rick? Maggie? One of you two or both, I don't care which—you'll go and convince the Hilltop people about us and joining us"

The doors open and in comes that Abby Griffin "Where's my daughter?" She demands

"I don't know what your talking about" shaking my head "isn't she with the rest of you, getting settled in? Figuring out which person is best suited to doing whichever job was given like farming or skinning dead animals?"

Shaking her head no "I heard that you considered her not coming, why?"

"I was told about her past" looking at her "I know it's for the greater good which is why I gave her a warning, that she can't be the person she was here. I also found out that she gained many enemies, so you tell me: who didn't want her to come here?"

Abby soon leaves and everyone looks at me "What is she talking about?" Maggie asks

"I had her daughter be left behind" I explain to them about Clarke "if Clarke came here she would have been a danger to everyone, each terrible situation she was given she had different choices to make but she chose the easy ones that cost lives. She was like the Governor and she'd cost many lives with our problem with Negan" shrugging my shoulders "besides, Clarke made a lot of enemies"

"You should have told her the truth" Lori shakes her head "this is her daughter"

"What good would that do?" Daryl asks "she knows the world her daughter is in if fucked in a couple days, nothing would have changed since it's the same. Plus Phoenix had the murderers and rapists stay there along with that Jaha—he cost so many lives"

"Enough about this" shaking my head "time to deal with the Saviors"

~The Kingdom~

People look my way as I follow two guys to where this Ezekiel is, I'm wearing a black sleeveless dress with black heeled boots and a long cream sleeveless jacket. My clothes are the nicest things since they looked like they were dry cleaned, plus I'm a new face.

When I go to this auditorium, I see a man with long grey dread locks, dark skin and dark eyes look at me with a tiger by his side. "Greetings" the man says as I notice two people beside him, an Asian guy who is overweight and a shorter person. A woman with short black hair and fair skin and blue eyes "I am King Ezekiel"

"Hello" I come closer before sitting down crossing one leg over the other "my name is Phoenix, the ruler of Elysium—I've come to invite you and your people to join my settlement and before you say no. I wish to tell you a bit about my settlement: we have over ten thousand people there, plenty of food, supplies...but most importantly we do not bow to Negan like I hear you do"

He adjusts himself in his seat "How did you hear of that?"

"I hear things" shrugging my shoulders "my settlement is made up of supernaturals and humans combined, in peace—still adjusting but still" opening my arms out.

"You intrigue me" he says "how do I know you aren't like Negan?"

"First: I'm not threatening you" I list the reasons he should somewhat trust me "second: I come unarmed, three: I'm now offering to give you a tour of my settlement, and lastly" I think "I've not nothing, just three different reasons"

"Why don't you show me your settlement?" He suggests
