Alex's *POV*
"I'll go with you." I spoke to Rick as I walked next to him after he walked away from talking to Gabriel.
"I'd like that, but we need you here. With Daryl and Carol missing, we need more hands in the church." Rick answered, as he looked me in the eyes.
"Alright, I look after Gabriel? Make sure he doesn't do anything, wonder off."
"See, you got this. Tyreese, Michonne and the rest will be here too. We need to throw Gareth and his group off, if they come back."
"What happens if you guys go and they come in?"
"They won't." Rick answered. "I'll make sure of it."
Later on during the night, Rick had came back with Gareth and his men. Gareth was on his knees, hands tied around his back, just like some of the other guys Rick picked up with Gareth. Maggie stood by one person, Glenn by another, while Rick stood in front of Gareth. I stood off to the side, by the wooden church benches, alone. While I was watching Rick speak to him, I was beginning to feel uneasy. Maybe it was just the week we were all having, or the things I've gone through–we gone through– was now catching up to me.
"You could've killed us when you came in. There had to be a reason for that." Gareth spoke, his head was down.
"We didn't want to waste the bullets." Rick said, staring right at Gareth.
"Besides," I watch Rick place his hand on the side of his waist, grasping at the hatchet. "already made you a promise." Rick spoke, as he was picking up the hatchet and raising it over his head, aiming for Gareth. My eyes went wide as I remembered this was all real and that Rick was about to kill the people that almost tried to kill us.
I've killed walkers, seen walkers die, but I've never seen someone kill a human being. In this moment, I wasn't so sure I was ready to witness something like that, let alone be just a few feet from it. I watched Rick's movements, along with Maggie's and a few others get ready to end it all for the people who tried to hurt us.
Blood was getting on the floors, on the faces of Rick and the others who killed the tied up men. It was bloody, it was gruesome and it was real. I had to stop staring and walk out of the church and take a deep breath, preparing myself for the new world.
