Ride or die

80

I kept shooting and shooting. 

I'm going to back up Tara and Paul, you stay here. I said to Dylan.

Hey! Be safe out their! Dylan said. 

Right back at you. I said as I ran over to Tara. 

We went into a building and shit a few saviors. I went with Paul, we were coring, them. We went inside and opened as closet door, to find a man that pissed his pants. 

I held my gun at him. 

Wait, please I'm not one of them. The man said. 

You had a gun you are one of them. Tara said. 

Look they forced me here, made me leave my family. Your people do this to the sanctuary, too? The families okay? The man said. 

We don't hurt the workers. We're not going to. Paul said. 

You believe him? Tara asked. 

We are not here for revenge. Paul said. 

Yeah, we are. Quinn knock some sense into him. Tara said. 

I'm with Paul on this, this can't be about revenge. I said. 

We heard a gun shot, the man than grabbed Paul and held a gun at him. 

I wouldn't. You know what's funny? Normally I'd peg you as the softie, not pretty boy. You know how hard it is to piss yourself on purpose? The man said. 

Paul the twisted the man arm a I went and knocked him out. 

Paul then tied his hands together. 

What are doing? He tried to kill us. Tara asked.

I told you, it's not about him. Paul said. 

So what he just get's to live? Listen you aren't Maggie or Rick, you don't get to make these kinds of decision Tara asked. 

No, but she'll hear what I have to say. Paul said. 

We got a a callback to the radio. 

Tara we don't have time for this, Paul grab that guy come on. I said. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We met up with everyone outside. 

Circle the door, wide, at least 20 feet. Guns up but hold your fire. Paul said. 

What? Tara asked. 

They're gonna give up. We only fire if they first. Paul said. 

They fire first then one of us die. Tara said. 

Then let's hope for my sake that they don't. Paul said. 

We saw the door open, there was a man with brown hair and a beard. 

We all pointed are guns at him. 

Drop your weapon, your surrounded. Just surrender. I said. 

The man, then put his gun down. Living sounds good to me. He said.

He told the rest of his friends to drop his weapons. 

It's okay, we can do it the hard way. Because even if Maggie listens to you, Rick will listen to me. Tara said. 

No, we're not, gonna kill them. We are gonna take them back to Hilltop and talk to Maggie about this. I said. 

Quinn. Tara said. 

We don't have to kill everyone Tara. I said as we tied up the saviors. 

Later on Morgan Joined us. We were on the way to Hilltop when I felt someone behind me. 

I looked and saw it was the man who first surrendered. 

Thank you. He said. 

I didn't do it for you. Not everyone has to die. I said. 

Well, I just want to thank you for letting us live. He said. 

Your welcome. I said. 

I'm Alden by the way. He said. 

Quinn. I said. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a little while, we were almost at Hilltop. Until someone yelled that they were walkers. We all shot them, a few of the saviors were running away, Morgan went after them. 

After we killed all the walkers, I went after Paul and Morgan. I saw that they were fighting. 

Hey! Knock it off, listen we are not killing them, okay. I know what they did. And it was horrible. But we are not killing them. I said. 

Quinn's right let's go. Paul said. 

We got back to Hilltop. Paul explained everything. 

Paul, I don't know about this. Maggie said. 

We can't I have seen what these people can do. Gregory said. 

Before he could say anything else I went up to him and punched him. 

What, someone had o shut him up. Maggie, I know what they have taken from us, and they will pay. But these guys are different They want to live, so they surrendered. Just think about it. I said. 

Set them on the outside of the wall, have guards. I will think about it. Maggie said. 

Thank you. I said.
