Angel (Daryl Dixion x Reader)

~43~

   It took all of less than an hour for you to tear apart the plan Rick and Shane had cooked up. You kept the basics of it, just making tweaks on where the group would be positioned and what parts to play. Rick wanted to place Shane, Carl, and Carol in the guard towers to pop intruders as they come in. Beth and baby Judith in the woods with Hershal and Michonne for protection in case things go sideways. You, Daryl, and Rick would have hid in the halls of the prison in case they got that far. Glenn and Maggie would have been on the over-walks to fire at the Woodbury folks in hopes of scaring them off. You scraped the idea of the towers being maned, simply because Michonne said they had heavy artillery. The idea of them being up there didn't sit right with you. So you rearranged the placements of your family. Your plan consisted of clearing out the whole entire prison as the first step. Make it look like y'all had up and left, just abandoning home base so to speak. Then Beth, baby Judith, Hershal, and Carl would be in the woods. Just in case. Glenn and Maggie would stay put, because they would now be completely armored with the riot gear. Though they'd wait for the signal to make themselves known.

Carol would be in the generator room, hunkered down and armed to the fucking teeth. She was to wait ten minutes after the initial attack started before they gave the signal for everyone else to start their assault back. You insured her that she'd hear them coming, and if not she'd definitely hear the rounds from the heavy ass truck guns on their military trucks. Step two, was you would subtly lead the Governor and his men into the maze of the prison. Where Shane and Michonne would have already led even more walkers to add to the ones that were still roaming around down there. Right to where your twin and Daryl would be waiting, ready to strike. Then after the ten minutes were up, Carol was to turn on the alarms just as you make it to Michonne's, your brothers, and your husbands position your labels as the kill box. Then, step three would commence, Rick and Daryl would throw out smoke grenades and flash bangs to scare the shit out of the fools that will inevitably follow your trail back into the maze of the walker infested prison. The grenades, and/or the screaming would draw the walkers Shane and Michoone brought, right to the Woodbury intruders, and they'd panic. Just like scare, armed civilians always tend to do. They'd burn through their ammo as they scramble to get out of the dark walker infested hell of your homes basement. While you, Rick, Daryl, with Michonne, and Shane who would have made it to them as soon as Carol flipped the switch, if all goes well, would fire at them. Not at the walkers, not unless they came directly for them or you, but at the Governor and his men. When the stragglers made it out into the open courtyard, to either retreat or just run for their lives, Maggie and Glenn would be there to fire at them. Giving them the final push to get the fuck out of there if they're smart. If not, mow them down entirely. You made it crystal clear to everyone who listened to your re-worked plan that this wasn't the time to be merciful. The Governor was coming to slaughter you all, and no one had room for second guessing or moral hesitation. Shoot to kill, or your hesitation may kill you instead.

Everyone listened and nodded along. Not having anything to add or question. You were slightly surprised to find everyone looking at you with sheer determination and not like a cold hearted killer. As if you hadn't just instructed the slaughter you'd laid before them. Everyone was on board, aside from Carl. He was enraged that he didn't have a part to play other than body guard/last hope if the rest of y'all got overwhelmed and killed. Rick however, shut his son's argument to stay and help down. Carl stormed off shortly after you agreed with Rick, and everyone disbursed to pack. To make this prison appear completely abandoned. Thankfully, everyone had quickly packing down to a science still, and it took less than an hour till things were being loading into the green car Shane claimed as his. Carl didn't speak to anyone. He just completely shut down and was clearly seething with rage. He wouldn't even look at you with made your heart heavy. You just kept telling yourself that if y'all lived through this, if your plan worked he'd forgive you. Even Glenn told Rick he'd never seen him so pissed off before. "It's easy to forget that he's just a kid.. he'll get over it, hopefully." You tell them and Rick nods at you before he closes the hood of the cop car Daryl had managed to get into running shape on this time crunch. It was to be an escape car for whoever could get to it, if god forbid something goes wrong.
