The night was ruff, walkers had tried to get into the barn. But everyone had to hold the doors to keep them out. Luckily a tornado had come through and took out the walkers without touching the barn. Daryl took watch, you laid with Austin beside you until the sun came up. You just laid there, your eyes closed.
That was until Maggie and Sasha brought back a man.
"Everyone this is Aaron." Maggie said opening the door.
Everyone was up on their feet with weapons. Daryl wen't out the door to see if there was anyone else before closing it.
"We meet him outside, he's by himself." Maggie said "We took his weapons and his gear."
Daryl patted him down, jut to be sure. All eyes were on him. "Hi." Was all he said.
Judith stared to cry, Carl took her from Rick.
"Nice to meet you." Aaron said, taking one step forward. A gun was at his back in a second.
"You said he had a weapons?" Rick asked.
Maggie brought the weapon to Rick, he put it on his belt.
"There something you need?" Rick asked.
"He has a camp. He wants us to audition for membership." Sasha said.
"I wish their was another word. Audition makes us sounds like some kind of dance group." Aaron said "That's only on Friday nights."
No body laughed.
"And its not a camp, it's a community. I think you all would make valuable additions, but its not my call. My job is to convince you to follow me back home. If I were you I wouldn't follow my back either some evidence. Sasha can you hand Rick my bag." Aaron said "Front pocket here's an envelope, there's pictures inside. And I apology for the camera qu-"
"No one gives a shit." Daryl said.
"Absolutely 100% right." Aaron said "If you join us you will be safe, those panels are 15ft and 12 wide held with cold steal rides. Nothing comes in without our say so. Like i said security is obviously important. The people is also apart of our survival. Next picture you se-"
Rick punch Aaron knocking him out. Abraham and Daryl tied up the man. Rick wen't back to looking at the pictures.
"Think we can trust him?" Rosita asked him.
"No, but there's prolly more out there. I want you all to go out on patrol and find anything about this man. He say anything else?" Rick said.
"That he has a camper. Not to far out, has food and water in it." Maggie said.
"Medicine?" Daryl asked.
"Possibly." Maggie said.
"I'm going, anyone else." Daryl said, getting is bag "Austin, I need you to take care of your mom while I'm gone. Make sure she doesn't move to much okay."
"I got it dad." Austin said "Just be carful."
He gave Austin a hug and kissed your head. You wished you could do something, but knowing it was for the best. You watched as everyone left leaving you, Rick, Judith, Austin, Carl, and Aaron. Aaron woke up not to long after, you had hold of Judith. Austin was by your side and so was Carl when Judith gotten fussy. Rick was trying to crush up nuts for her.
"Rick that's gonna be to hard for her, she needs softer." You said.
"There's some apple sauce in my bag." Aaron said.
Rick looked at him then grabbed the jar, he opened it and with a spoon put it to Aarons mouth.
"You really think I would poison your baby daughter." Aaron said "Also I hate applesauce."
Rick didn't say anything as he pressed it to his lips, Aaron gave in and ate it. Rick also hade a little, but then gave it to Judith when nothing happened. You feed her and calmed her down, Rick pulled out more cans and jars.
"All this is ours now." Rick said giving some to Austin's and Carl "Whatever they bring back is ours."
"That's fine, there's more than enough at the community for you." Aaron said.
"How many of your people are out there." Rick said.
"Doesn't matter, you won't believe on the number. 50, 0, 10." Aaron said.
"Try me." Rick said.
"1."Aaron said.
Rick looked at him like a dumbass. You hissed as Judith moved on you, Carl picked her up and finished feeding her. Rick came over to check on you, Austin wen't to get you some water.
"How's it looking?" Rick asked.
"It's not good, think I'm getting that fever now. Its too tender." You said "Rick if I die, promise me you'll shoot me."
"Y/n your not gonna die, not gonna let you." Rick said.
"It's not your call. If this gets worse, I might not survive." You said "Promise you'll shoot me. Daryl can't, he's gonna need you to do it. Like you needed him for Dale."
Rick took your hand in his and nodded. He looked back at Aaron and he watched.
"What happened?" Aaron asked.
"She had an infection from a surgery. Lost her baby too. Is their antibiotics in that camper?" Rick asked.
"Yes, my god. If I knew about that sooner." Aaron said.
A horn was heard, the group was back. Daryl ran in and wen't straight to you, he had pills in his hands and gave them to you. He took your cup of water and helped you drink it, he hugged you on your side. Austin hugged you on your other side, you felt that you could die with your family hugging you.
