The Prison Attack (pt.2) - Tara Chambler

(this story dosent follow the twd fully.)

y/n pov:

I started to gain consciousness again when it all flooded back to me. I slowly obtained my senses, when I could hear scrapes on the ground by walkers and they seemed to be getting closer. I tried to move so I could just avoid the walkers as I was in no state to fight, but when I felt an immense pain go through my chest. I didn't have the time to feel sorry for myself or to even check what the pain could be caused by, I just knew I had to move fast. I picked myself up even in pain, I quickly and quietly crawled from the bus to behind a car. When I finally got myself situated I investigated what the pain was, I pulled up my shirt to see a bruise beginning to form all across the left side of my ribs. I silently curse to myself.

"fuck, fuck, fuck" I inaudibly whisper when the pain shoots across my ribs as I start to move. I can move enough to see the open field where the fight had not too long ago taken place. I hear nothing but the moans and groans of walkers, but when my eyes lock onto Tara's sister getting swarmed I can't help but tear up slightly. I went to pull back and get comfy behind the car as I would be sitting a while, but when I heard the gunshots and a cry for help I pulled myself to my knees to get a better look. Thats when...

Tara pov:

I never wanted to be a part of this fight. These are good people. WHY. Why did he have to go thus far? we could have stayed together in prison, he did this for no reason and killed innocent people. I saw someone run up to the leader I now know as Rick.

it was (y/n). My heart shattered when I saw her hysterically crying and falling to her knees, begging him to stop. I was staring at her when I heard the sound of the sword making contact with the man on his knees. I think his name is Hershel. I gasped. I was trying to understand and wrap my head around this. that is when the gunfire began. what did he start? I saw (y/n) get pushed to start running away, I tried to keep my eyes on her. I lost her in the chaos again. I was planning to hide until this was over. I know very cowardly of me.

I couldn't take the screaming, I covered my ears with my hands hoping to drown out some of the noise. I looked away from the fight to where we had come from and saw my sister walk towards us holding something. " Meghan" I choked. I was getting pulled by Alicia to the fight. I just dropped the gun and ran. I hid for a while, while more walkers infiltrated the prison. That's when I knew I had to run, I checked over my shoulder to see if anything was after me to make sure I was safe but what I wish I never did.

My sister. I saw my sister surrounded by walkers. I didn't know what to do so I just ran and hid behind a broken wall, but as soon as I was behind that wall I broke out in sobs. my sobs were loud and could hear the walkers nearby groan, my hand swung up to my mouth so hard and fast that I ended up slapping myself a bit. I silenced my sobs. just knowing I had to leave slowed down my crying. everything was silent. all I could hear was my jagged breathing. I knew this was my time to leave, I crept over the wall carefully to try to find any sign of anyone but most importantly (y/n). my ears perked up a bit when I heard the sound of gunshots and someone pleading for help.

I saw a man trapped in a broken cage that was getting circled by walkers. I didn't recognise him so he must have been someone who lived in the prison, and after everything that went down, I knew I had to help him. I reach the cage and push past the walkers killing a few in the process, but they just kept coming. I got a bit tired, and that's when he pulled me into the cage with him. he didn't say anything, he mostly kept quiet. the guilt was clearly shown on my face, I was sure he had seen it. "I don't care how you got here, I just need help out," he said sternly, I slowly nodded so he knew that I took him seriously. he reciprocated with a stiff nod, and his eyes wandered to the left of me when we heard footprints fastly approach. I turned around and saw....

y/n pov:

That's when I hurriedly ran towards the sound. I couldn't believe it, it was Glenn. someone else was with him but I couldn't make out who it was. I start fast pace walking toward him and the unknown figure. I still couldn't make out who it was as they had their back turned to me, but I recognised the curves of the figure.

I had an idea who it was but my mind stopped me from guessing, I hoped for who I thought it was. but I knew if I had guessed my heart would have been broken if it wasn't them. the figure turned around fully and tears pricked my eyes, I was able to bite them back enough that no one could see. I started killing the walkers in front of the cage that was blocking them in. I let out some anger while killing them as my feelings just kept coming up. coming up to one walker I raised my machete and dragged it down into its head, there were more behind me. I tried going fast but my machete was stuck, I tried pulling it, twisting it, yanking at it, but nothing. I let go of it letting the body drop with the weapon still attached to it, I cursed to myself trying to find an alternative weapon. there was a pipe that was poking out underneath the cage, I run around to the side of the cage looking Tara right in the eyes while pulling the pipe out. I gripped the pipe in my hand, turning my knuckles white. I swung and swung until the area was cleared. I opened the cage letting them out, I was greeted by a smiling Glenn. As soon as the cage fully opened he jumped on me hugging me, I squeezed him a bit telling him I was happy he was alive, and he reciprocated the squeeze. I take a glimpse at Tara, I knew she did the right thing but giving up the weapon and not fighting but I just couldn't get her out of my head. I held up my hand, she took it getting down from the platform. her hand being in mine gives me that tingly feeling in my stomach, the one that takes me back to before the world ended.

Glenn looked at me knowingly while handing me a protective chest plate that he took off, after that he walked off. he was looking for Maggie even though I told him about the bus already leaving and people scattering off deep into the wood. I did not want him to go alone so I told him I'd help him find her, especially with his health after just getting better and getting his strength back. I was not going to let him try alone.

Tara held me back by lightly grabbing onto my hand, I looked and Glenn who was walking off to make sure he wasn't going too far then turned to her. her hold of my hand makes me look at her, her eyes filled with grief and guilt. she stared at me with tears escaping her eyes, but I was quick to wipe them away with my thumb. my hand just rests on my cheek, after a few seconds of seeing her struggle to hold back her cries, she just breaks into sobs. I wrap my arm behind her neck bringing her in close to my chest, my other hand rubbing circles on her back trying to calm her down. I left kisses on her head to try and console her still rubbing her back. She looked at me with the most sincere eyes, "I'm sorry (y/n/n), I missed you" she said barely above a whisper, I just held her a little tighter, "I missed you too Tara". I took her hand and led her to where Glenn was.

I glanced at Tara to show that it was okay, she just smiled appreciatively. we carried on our day helping Glenn get back to Maggie.

Not once did Tara's hand leave mine
