The Dead World

Fifty Four ~ A Fucking Tiger!

The three groups separated into mixed groups, most went to Hill top including Phoebe to start reinforcing the walls seeing as Hill top was their most unprotected community but they were also working to armour up cars to help with their plans. Some were watching the Saviours from the highway as well as a walker herd, some were building new weapons, but they did it all together.

"When i first met him Jesus said that my world was going to get a whole lot bigger and we found that world, we found each other...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! 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! We don't...Celebrate it, we don't have shame in it either. There's only one person who has to die and i will kill him myself...I will" Rick looked out at the people who had gathered "But if it's the others, the others that 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, together"

"Together" Ezekiel stepped forward with a nod "Bound together! To quote the Bard 'For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother, for she today...My sister" 

Shiva, that is what Ezekiel had told her was the tigers name when Phoebe had asked gave a short roar and everyone looked her way to where she laid in the back of a pickup truck comfortably.

Maggie then stepped forward having become the new leader of Hilltop after Gregory disappeared "We've practiced, 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 onto that with everything we have, the future is ours, the world is ours" 

"I don't want to wait for it anymore, you don't either. Yeah i know, so we don't have to wait for it, if we start tomorrow...Right now...With everything we've beaten and we've endured, everything we've risen above, everything we've become...If we start tomorrow right now, no matter what comes next, we've won...We've already won!" Rick hollered and was joined by the others cheering.

Daryl had passed the message onto Dwight seeing as no one trusted Phoebe's arrow to not accidently find itself in the mans head, Dwight had given them look outs that would be active on the day they planned to take and that job was delegated to her, she was to hit each of the closest look outs then get back to the group. 

Phoebe had hit each of the look outs she was given and found her way back to Alexandria where everyone seemed to waiting on edge she just grinned "What's with all the glum faces?"

"Phoebe" Rick cut her off and waved her over before she could scare anyone else.

"30 minutes everyone's ready, are you?" Gabriel approached the two siblings handing Phoebe a white strip of cloth which she started tying on her right bicep like everyone had to help the others be able to identify friendly's on the fields.

Alexandria was white, Hilltop was green and The Kingdom was orange. Each colour was bright and easy to see, always on the right bicep.

"It's one person who brought it to this, one person" Rick looked out to everyone with a frown.

"It always starts with one person, this did" Gabriel nodded to the group "What we're doing here now"

Rick shifted on his feet watching his sister retreat to Merle to help his tie the cloth to his arm "This, this isn't about me"

"Yes, it isn't. You made it like that"

"Bee!" everyone turned hearing the scream but relaxed when Judith just ran to her aunt who picked the young toddler up and kissed her cheek.
