Apocalyptic love- TWD ✔️

Chapter 80: New best friends

Jisung Park had encountered many weird people in his life. But he's pretty sure these garbage people are at the top of his list. If his brother or Athena were here he knew they would had laughed at the people.

The group was lead inside a junkyard with piles and piles of trash. As they walk inside, the oddly dressed people walked in a formation, grouping them inside a circle.

Jisung's brows furrow. Rosita looked towards him and whispered "What the fuck?" Finally, the people stop moving and just stare at them.

Then comes a voice. "Are you a collective, or does one lead?" The voice was female. They look in the direction of the voice.

Suddenly, a woman behind Rick grabs his shoulders and shoves him forward. "This"

A woman with a God awful haircut walks forward, stopping in front of Rick. "Hi. I'm Rick." Jisung made a face at Rick's introduction.

"We own your lives. You wanna buy them back? Have anything?" The woman asks.

"Well, you have one of my people. Gabriel. I wanna see him first. Then we can talk." Rick says.

The woman nodded and the woman that grabbed Rick and a man walk away. Seconds later, they reappear with Gabriel in tow. He wass alive and unharmed as far as they can tell. Rick smiles and nodded at Gabriel.

"The boat things you took got taken. Saw them, so we took the rest. And we took him." The woman says to Rick.

"Well, then you know we have nothing to buy back our lives with. That's what you'll have soon-nothing. Because me and my people already belong to the group who took those supplies from the boat." Rick informs her. "They're called the Saviors. They own our lives. And if you kill us, you'll be taking something from them. And they will come lookin'. You only have two options when it comes to the Saviors - either they kill you or they own you. But there is a way out. Join us. Join us in fighting them."

Everyone was silent. The lady stared at Rick. She looked him up and down, this causes Jisung to glance at Michonne who narrows her eyes. The woman finally says "no." Then she made a circular motion with her finger. The people holding Gabriel turn to lead him away.

Jisung's lips curl into a snarl. One man starts to come towards him. Jisung sends his fist into the man's nose, catching him off guard. Another lunges for him. Jisung sends his foot into the man's gut.

"Everybody, stop! Wait!"

No one listened.

Jisung sends a third man to the ground. That's when the shocking voice of Gabriel Stokes hits their ears. "Let us go, or I will kill her!" Everyone's eyes turn in his direction to see him holding a knife to the woman's throat. Shock pulses through Jisung.

"Away from Tamiel now." The leader woman says.

"The Saviors - they have other places, other communities. They have things - food, weapons, vehicles, fuel. Whatever you want, the Saviors have it." Gabriel says.

The woman makes a motion with her hand and everyone around them lowers their weapons. "Away from Tamiel." She says to Gabriel.

He looked at Rick who nodded lightly. Only then does he listen. He throws down the knife. "Your words now."

"If you join us and we beat them together, you can have much of what's theirs. Fighting with us, you will be rewarded, more than you can imagine." Gabriel's voice was strong. Jisung nodded to himself.

"Want something now." The woman says.

"Rick... can do anything. This group?" He points at his people "they found me - here, so far from our home. What do you need? Just tell us, we'll get it for you. We'll show you what we can do. Now." Jisung can't think of a time Gabriel has ever sounded so brave.

Gabriel has changed. The thought of it makes Jisung's lips turn upwards.

"Tamiel, Brion... show Rick Up Up Up." The woman says. Michonne grabs his hand but Rick reassures her that it's okay.

They lead Rick away and shove the others into an area. Aaron sits and holds a tissue to his bleeding face. Jisung picks up a cat sculpture and shows it to Michonne. "Who are these people? New best friends, huh?" Rosita pipes.

"Where are they taking him?" Michonne asks a lady standing nearby. She points up. They all look to see the woman appear over the top of pile of trash. Then Rick and the others. Rick and the leader talk for a couple seconds. Then she shoves him. Jisung gasped as he rolls down the trash pile. "What did you do?" Michonne screams. The group all rush to the trash pile, looking at through the pipes. Rick stands in front of Michonne pipe.

"I'm alright!" He tells her.

A couple seconds later, something walks past Jisung's pipe that makes his eyes widen. A walker with spikes imbedded in its body.

"Rick!" Jisung shouts.

From the other side of the trash pile they can hear fighting. Rick shouts and trash clatters. They can hear the sound of stabbing. Rick has won.

"Believe us now?" Rick shouts at the lady and her two right hands. "Just tell us what you want and we'll get it."

In front of Rick, a rope is thrown over. The garbage people believe them. Rick climbs up the rope despite his injuries. When he appears over the side, Jisung lets out a big breath of relief. They can't hear that Rick and the lady are saying but they know it's about getting them what they want.

They climb down the trash. The group stands around as they wait for Rick to join them. The trash people around them start to walk away as the three that led Rick away walk past. They wait anxiously for Rick to appear and when he does they all smile. He's injured in his hand and leg but he's smiling nonetheless.

"We have a deal."

Jisung grins. He and Tara share a satisfied fist bump as Michonne and Rick embrace one another. Before they leave, the trash people remind them of the guns they owe them. They want them soon.

They agree to go home and regroup before going back out and looking for the guns they owe these people. As their about to load up in the car, Jisung glances back at the cat sculpture form before.

"One second," he says to his people. He walks toward and grabs the cat. He walks back over and hands it to Michonne. "Because we won... and the last one got blown up at the prison."

They went home after a successful day.

They're ready to fight the Saviors until their last breaths.

They will fight until their last breaths.
