Today Athena Dixon woke up with a very bad feeling in her stomach. She didn't know why, but she has a bad feeling about today and she didn't like it one bit.

She stood up from the bed and looked up to see that Leo was up already. She grabbed her two guns from the table and put them on her gun holders on her hips, she grabbed her quiver and put it around her shoulder along with her bow and walked out of her sell.

When she walked down the stairs she saw Carl sitting on them at the end. She stood next to him, as Beth and Lori walked by them with crutches. Athena saw the way Carl smiled to Beth and she smirked to herself.

"Why don't you talk to her instead of giving googly eyes?" She asked the younger Grimes.

Carl turned to her with red cheeks while he stuttered at his words. "What?" He asked clueless making her arch her brow knowing he knew damn well what she was saying.

"Nothing Carl. Hey where're Leo and Ji?" She asked him while walking down the stairs and towards the cell where Hershel was.

"They're outside with your dad and my dad." Carl told her.

🏹🗡️

Outside at the field most of the group had been gathered together, while listening to Rick's instructions for the day.

But Leo had a bad feeling about this day, he wasn't sure why but he woke up with a bad feeling in his stomach. It began even worse as the prisoners they left alive showed themselves begging the leader of the group to give them a chance.

Rick, Daryl, Leo, Jisung, Carol, T-Dog, Glenn and Maggie gathered together to talk about any options about the prisoners living with them.

"Are you serious?" That question came from the leader, while looking at T-Dog like he was crazy "You want them living in a cell next to you? They'll just be waiting for a chance to grab our weapons. You want to go back to sleeping with one eye open?"

T-Dog shook his head "I never stopped. Bring them into the fold. If we send them off packing, we might as well execute them ourselves."

Leo had to give it to his friend, he had a good point.

"I don't know." Glenn shook his head "Axel seems a little unstable."

"After all we've been through?" Carol asked the group softly "We fought so hard for all this, what if they decide to take it?"

Leo shared a look with his brother, who was giving his older brother a look. Both Jisung and Leo could tell that the prisoners weren't some psychopaths that will slash their throats and took the prison. From what Athena told Leo, they couldn't even kill walkers.

"It's just been us for so long." Maggie mentioned "They're strangers. I don't... It feels weaird all of a sudden having other people around."

"You brought us in." Jisung pointed out the obvious.
