Michonne and I, rested in the car with Carl, keeping him safe as he got some sleep under the beaming daylight. Daryl poured Rick some water a cloth, as rick wiped his face Daryl told him his recent story. "I didn't know what they were"

"How'd you wind up with them" Sighed Rick as he looked over to the man sitting beside him.

"I was with Beth, we got out together, I was with her for a while. Then we found Annabelle" Said Daryl trying to hold back the tears he felt like letting go each second.

"Is she dead?" asked rick, to which Daryl responded. "She's gone, after that, that's when they found us. We knew they were bad but they had a simple but stupid code. Said they were looking for some guy and last night got a spot of him. Me and Annabelle were gon' leave but then we stayed and saw it was you three. I didn't know what they could do"

"It's not on you Daryl, you being back with us now is everything. Your my brother" I heard Rick say in a faint voice.

We sat in silence in the car, not bringing up the traumatic topic. Soon Rick and Daryl stood up, and mentioned that we should keep moving. Find out whatever we can about Terminus. So we did, we walked for a few miles until we reached close to the entrance. Rick buried a blue duffle bag packed with guns in the woods, just incase of an emergency. We jumped the fences and strolled our way into Terminus.

"You know Maggie too?" Asked Carl as he walked beside me.

"Yeah, I babysat beth when she was a little kid, and maggie when she was just a bit younger than you" I smiled down at the boy.

"Terminus Sanctuary for all" Spoke an elderly woman sitting at a radio station.

"Hello" Interrupted Rick and the lady took of her headphones and greeted us.

A brunette man approached us and introduced himself, "I'm Gareth, looks like you've been on the road for a good bit" He said while looking us up and down in disgust.

"We have, Rick" Rick pointed to himself and then the rest of us, "That's Carl, Daryl, Michonne and Annabelle"

He threw us an awkward wave as he walked slightly closer. Mentioning that we need to lay down our weapons in front of us, we all gave eachother an unsteady look before Rick began to unload his weapons. Us following and doing the same.

They patted us all down and then allowed us to take our weapons back. Another man led us outside. I walked beside Daryl and whispered in his ear as we walked behind everyone else,
"I don't trust 'em"

He looked to me and nodded, agreeing with my words. They handed us a plate of food each, but suddenly Rick pulled his gun out on one of the men, pressing it against his temple as he pulled a pocket watch out of the man's pocket.

We all raised our weapons almost instantly aiming at the people ready to attack us. "Where'd you get the watch" Yelled Rick out of fury, repeating his words over and over.

"I got it off a dead one!" Frantically screamed the man in fear for his delicate life.

"What 'bout the riot gear, the poncho?" Asked Rick still keeping his gun pressed against the man's temple. Rick spoke as if he owned all of these things, like they stole them from him.

Gareth carefully approached rick, "Got the riot gear off a dead cop, found the poncho on a clothes line"

"Bullshit!" I yelled out now pointing my gun at Gareth, I didn't quite understand what my group was going on about, and why it was such a big deal but I assumed there was a reason. An important one.

The man that Rick held at gunpoint began to yell for Gareth, until gareth told him to shut up. Now learning his name is Alex. "Rick what do you want" Scoffed Gareth raising a hand.

"Where are our people?" Questioned Rick, a burst from a gun startled rick causing him to turn around. Rick dropped Alex to the floor after shooting a bullet into his skull.

Gunfire rang in our ears as we ran for our life, taking down as many people as we could. Everyone was firing at us, not even afraid. Just willing to end our lives. We stumbled across a room full of candles, now realizing they weren't trying to kill us and were aiming at our feet. We ran out of the room, now cornered with snipers and rifles. We stood still in our spot, looking around and realising we lost.

"Drop your weapons now!" Yelled Gareth from ontop of a building roof. Hesitantly we dropped them, admitting defeat. "Sherrif, the train car. Go. You do what we say, the boy goes with you. Anything else, he dies and you end up in there anyway"

Rick nodded before taking a sorry look at his son, then walking to the train car.

"The blonde, you follow him" Gareth shouted while looking at me. I took a quick glance at Michonne, Daryl and Carl before following Rick and standing behind him.

"Then the Archer!" Yelled Gareth once again as Daryl followed behind me.
"The samurai!" Michonne followed Daryl.

Carl was left standing alone, waiting for something to happen. Nobody could even imagine the thoughts running through that boys mind. Gareth finally yelled out, "Kid, go!"
"Ringleader, open the door and walk in"

Rick opened the door as light shone in the pitch black room, all three of us following behind him. They shut the door, only glimpses of light shining through. An Asian man stepped out of the darkness and spoke, "Rick?" People stepped out of the darkness and my eyes locked with Maggie.

"You're here" Rick spoke to his group, then giving an unsteady look to people behind them

"They're our friends" Spoke Maggie. "They saved us"

"They are ours now" Nodded Daryl.

"Forever how long that will be" said a man while crossing his arms.

"They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out" Replied rick in a raspy voice.

"Find out what?" Questioned the a ginger haired man.

Rick stood in silence as everyone waited for him to respond. "They're fucking with the wrong people"
