chapter thirty one

IT WAS A NEW START. After everything that went down a few days ago, it was confirmed that they were going to fight the saviours no matter the cost.

Everyone was walking to help set things up, from small pieces of metal to big planks of wood.

Rick was stood at the top of a truck, alongside Ezekiel and Maggie while he gave a speech.

"When i first met him...Jesus said that my world was gonna get a whole lot bigger. Well, we found that word. We found each other." He said.

"That..."bigger world" is ours by right. That we've come together for it, all of us...it's that much more true...it's ours by right."

Carmen was stood beside Carl, their finger locked together. She looked up at him and smiled, it felt great for Carmen.

"Any person who would live in peace and fairness, who would find common ground...it's their right, too."

"But those who use and take and kill to carve out the world and make it theirs alone, we end them!" Claimed Rick.

"We don't...celebrate it. We don't have shame about it, either. There's only one person who has to die...and i will kill him myself. I will. I will."

"But if it's the others...the others who prop him up, stand by his side, even those who just look the other way, so be it. Then...we keep making the world bigger."

Nods and smiles were shared around everywhere at Rick's speech. Everyone was prepared to fight, some even prepared to die.

"Together." Rick nodded.

"Together." Ezekiel repeated, "Bound forever!"

"To quote The Bard, "For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother." For she today, my sister." Ezekiel drifted from Rick to Maggie. Shiva then roaring at his words.

"We've practiced," Maggie said, "We've been through it over and over again. We all know the plan doesn't end this morning. That we may have to live in uncertainty for days, maybe more."

"That we have to keep our faith in each other. If we can hold on to that with everything we have...the future is ours. The world is ours."








































THE PLAN was to take down each outpost one by one, invade with everything they had.

They were all getting ready to fight, scraps of metal on the cars, making a sort of shield around them.

Carmen and Carl walked towards Michonne and Rick, who were kissing. Carmen began to laugh, "Funny how you can tell me and Carl to stop but here you are..."
