Stars and Scars [D.Dixon fic] TWD

Cassie and Michonne grabbed their guns as they joined the others in running outside. She ran beside her brother and Merle as they stopped behind one of the parked cars.

"Go" Rick told Merle who ran to the next car and checked the area before telling them they were in the clear. After the rest of them moved forward to the gate. "Are you alone?"

Andrea was out in the field a walker on some sort of hook in front of her. "Open the gate" She shouted back to them.

Cassie scoffed at the blonde approaching them "Not even a please honestly. I know it's the end of the world but let's have some manners"

Andrea pleaded with them again and to Cassie's annoyance Rick threw Daryl the keys to open the gate up for Andrea. As soon as Andrea was in Rick made her turn around as he searched her for weapons.

Cassie kept her gun on the women at all times as her twin checked. She didn't trust Andrea even before she was with the Governor so now it was even less so.

The others kept their guns pointed at the field around them in case the Governor or his men were there. Andrea claimed to have come alone but they had to be sure as a matter of their safety.

"Welcome back" Rick told her as he pulled her up off the ground. Cassie lowered her gun as the group started to head back inside.

She turned to Michonne who was watching Andrea walk inside with Rick. She looked angry at the women making Cassie slightly confused "You alright?" She asked as they headed inside.

Michonne sighed as she turned to Cassie walking beside her "We were together in the woods during the winter" she answered making Cassie remember how Merle said he found them together. This made her realise she must have found Andrea after the fall of the farm "Then we got to Woodbury and she left me for the Governor"

"Bitch" Cassie scoffed making Michonne chuckle "Don't worry I'm not a fan of her either" she reassured her as they got into the prison.

They walked past Carol and Andrea who were embraced in a hug. Cassie stood by her brother as they watched the embrace before Andrea took them and the place all in.

She looked around her at their home "I can't believe this" she spoke as if in awe of the prison.

"We live in a prison" Cassie said an eyebrow raised "Tell me what's so hard to believe about it?"

Andrea ignored the question as she continued to scan the group "Where's Shane?" All eyes went to the Grimes twins in the middle of the room. They shared a look before deciding not to say anything "And Lori?" Rick looked down at the mention of her.

Hershel decided to speak for him "She had a girl. Lori didn't survive" After Maggie added in about the loss of T-dog. Andrea apologised for the loss they had suffered while she was gone but to Cassie it didn't mean anything.

Andrea turned to Carl but he never said anything to her. "Rick, Cassie I-" She turned to the Grimes twins who had lost a wife and sister but again neither of them said a word.

Her attention then went to the cell block they stayed in as she asked to go into it. But before she could Rick moved in front of her "I won't allow that" he told her sternly.

Andrea tried to convince them she wasn't an enemy to them but just like his sister Rick wasn't buying it. Seeing as he had tore down the fence letting walkers in and shot at them in one visit.

Turned out the Governor had then lied to Andrea about the group shooting at him first. Cassie wasn't surprised someone as gullible as Andrea would believe him.

"He killed an inmate who survived in here" Hershel then told her. Cassie remembered Axels body lying in front of her as she tried to not get shot while Carol laid behind the corpse.
