It's been a few days since Pamela and Hornsby had visited the Hilltop and Athena had declined their offer to help out. A few people had left for Commonwealth which made Athena feel awful, because she was sure that those people cannot be trusted.
Her and Leo were actually thinking about taking their daughter back to Hilltop, so she isn't with those people, but they trusted their family to look after her back at Commonwealth.
Today Athena got another bad news, Lydia wanted to leave also and that made the Dixon woman kinda angry. Not understanding why the young girl couldn't see who actually those people were. But she couldn't stop her and she didn't wanted to. Lydia had her own free will.
But a few minutes after the younger girl left, she returned with Marco and Elijah, holding a bloody map in her hands. Apparently a rider had arrived in front of the gates, a young man who was shot and he was holding the map.
The six of them were in Athena's office surrounding the table with the map placed on top of it. The three leaders were skeptical about all of this, but the others warned to check what it was.
"We're not going." Athena said while looking down the map.
"Athena, he died begging for our help." Marco told his leader.
Athena nodded "I understand it. But we're barely holding on as it is."
"Someone we know must have sent him." Elijah spoke up "Could be from the Commonwealth or Georgie."
"Or it could be a trap." Maggie added, also not believing this "We go to help and leave Hilltop open to attack."
"I don't think it's a trick." Lydia shook her head "He was scared. He wasn't lying."
"Even if he wasn't, we can't go up against another group without the people to fight them." Leo told them. "We don't have that."
"What happened to taking in whoever was in need?" Elijah asked the three leaders "Being outnumbered has never stopped you before."
"Maybe it should have." Athena told him "We're barely holding on."
"It sounds like these people are, too." Lydia looked Athena in the eyes as she said that. "That's exactly who my mother would have targeted and I helped. I'm not letting it happen to someone else."
"So you're not leaving?" Maggie hopefully asked the young girl.
"I am. I'm just... I have to help these people first." After saying that Lydia turned around and left the room with Elijah and Marco following after her.
