Alone

2

        I went over to the door but Maggie put her hand up slightly which made me stop. Is she telling me to stay hidden? I heard Glenn say a name but I couldn't hear what he said.
"Whoa, haha, woow!" I heard something drop on the fall.
"Hey, back the hell up!" Maggie yelled.
"Whoa, okay. Okay, honey. Jesus!" He said.
"You made it." Glenn said. Wait does he know that man?
"Can you tell me, is my brother alive?" The man asked. He's brother? So they do know each other!
"Huh?" The man asked.
"Yeah." Glenn said.
"Hey, you take me to him and I'll call it even on everything that happened up there in Atlanta. No hard feelings. Huh?" He said, Atlanta? Glenn nor Maggie said anything.
"Haha, you like that? Yeah. Well, I found myself a medical supply warehouse. Fixed it up myself. Pretty cool, huh?" He said.
"We'll tell Daryl you're here and he'll come out to meet you." Glenn said. Wait is Daryl his brother?!
"Hold up here!" He said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Glenn sounded uneasy.
"Hold up. The fact we found each other is a miracle. Come on now, you can trust me." He said.
"You trust us." Glenn sounded angry now.
"You stay here." Glenn said. I heard the man chuckle. Then suddenly I heard the man yell and shoot some glass I think. I was about to ran out and shoot him but I saw Glenn looking at me and shaking his head no. What are you serious, Glenn come on!
"Eh, hold up buddy, hold up." The man said.
"Let go of her. Let go of her!" Glenn yelled angrily. Does he have Maggie?! I held my gun tighter. Ughhh what should I do? Should I run out there and shoot the man? Ugh but I don't know where he is! And clearly Maggie and Glenn don't want me to come out. But I don't want them to get hurt! And this man is Daryl's brother and he wants to hurt them! Why?! What I should do? What I should do?!
"Put the gun in the car right now. Put it in the car, son." The man said. Shoot him Glenn! I careful walked over to the door and peck out and saw Glenn behind the car and he had his gun out. I couldn't see the man and I also couldn't see Maggie. I saw Glenn put the gun in the car.
"There you go, now we're gonna go for a little drive." The man said.
"We're not going back to our camp." Glenn said.
"Oh no, we're going somewhere else." He got up so I move back out of they're sight.
"Get in the car, Glenn! You're driving!" He yelled.
"Don't! Okay.." I heard the car door slam and open.
"That's it." I heard them get in and drive off. I waited a second and got out but I saw a woman coming out she didn't see me yet cause she was looking at the car. I took my gun out pointed at her when she noticed me saw put her hands up in defense.
"Are you with that man?!" I asked her, she shook her head no.
"No, but I know where he's taking them." She said getting closer to me so I back up.
"Then take me there." I said still pointing my gun at her.
"No." She said putting her hands down.
"What?! Why not?!" I yelled at her.
"Because you're gonna need more people to fight. And plus you're a little girl I can't just let you fight them on your own." She said.
"I can handle him and whoever he's bringing them to." I said giving her a serious look.
"Well, yeah sure you can but the man who took your friend is working for a crazy man and he lives in a town." She said I started putting gun down slowly.
"Okay. So what do we do?" I asked her, still having my guard up.
"We go to your people-" I cut her off.
"Whoa! No way! You could be working with him!" I yelled.
"I'm not! I swear! I left that place as soon as I came. I even left my friend behind." She said looking down then back at me.
"Why did you leave her behind?" I asked her.
"Cause she would to stay, I tried to warn her about the things they were doing but she didn't believe me and so she stayed there." She said.
"So she and my friends aren't safe?" I asked.
"No, they're not." She said in a serious tone.
"Well then, follow me." I said grabbing the basket full of formula and turned around walking forward into the the woods, she suddenly appeared beside me.
"I'm Michonne by the way." She said looking at me.
"I'm Fatima" I said looking forward.
"How old are you?" She asked me.
"14, soon to be 15." I said.
"Oh really when?" She asked looking forward.
"Mmm, in 3 days actually." I said.
"It's July 26th." I said making sure she knows what day it is.
"You've been keep track of the days?" She asked.
"And months, you just in case this blows over. But it probably won't." I said. Then I notice she was limping.
"We're you bit?" I asked calmly.
"No. It's a gunshot." She said.
"Oh then, what's with all the blood on your shirt?" I asked her pointing at her shirt, that had blood on it.
"Walkers blood. Speaking of blood in need to get some on you." She said causally. It took me a second to understand what she said.
"What?!" I yelled.
"You heard me." She said smirking.
"But, that's gross." I said.
"Yeah, I know." She said pointing out the fact that she's covered in it. We both laughed. We started looking for a walker, we found one eating a deer and Michonne stabbed it's head and it fall on the ground, then she cut the walker open.
"Hey, give me the basket." She said putting her hand out.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you're putting that stuff on yourself." She said with a disgusted look.
"What?! Ughh fine, can you chop off his arm, please." I asked.
"What? Why?" She asked getting katana out.
"So, I don't have get blood on my hands." I said looking at the dead walker.
"Um, well okay." She said chopping off the arm from the walker.
"Um, do you have a cloth or something?" I asked, I serious don't want to touch it's arm. She handed me a large rag, I used it to grab the arm and scoop up some of the blood with. Once my shirt was covered in blood, we kept moving toward the prison. There was a lot of walkers, some would look at me but they would just look back at the fence. We finally reach the fence and Rick was there he was looking at Michonne, I was behind. I don't think he noticed me yet, so I peek over Michonne and waved at Rick, he's eyes widen and then Michonne grabbed her wound but I guess the walker beside her noticed cause the walkers around her started coming closer. So, she handed me the basket and took out her katana and started killing them.
"Rick, open up." I said to him in a calm voice.
"Should we help them?" Carl asked holding on to the keys. Rick started going to the gate. Michonne was killing some but then she fall on the fall. There was two walkers over her so I dropped my basket and shot them, Rick open the gate and shot some walkers as well. Carl came over to me and grabbed to basket as I grabbed her bag, and we went over to Rick.
"Is she bit?" Rick asked me.
"No, it's a gunshot wound." I said, Rick carried her inside the gate, as Carl and I started running inside and up into the prison. When we got inside the prison, Carl opened the door as Beth and Hershel followed behind us.
"Carl, get a blanket, Beth, water and a towel." Rick said struggling.
"Here?" Carl asked Rick pulling out a blanket onto the floor. I went over to them.
"She's not coming in the cell blocks." Rick said putting her down on the blanket. Beth came over handed Rick a bottle of ware and a towel.
"All right. Thank you." Rick thanked Beth. Rick poured some water on her chest which made her wake up.
"Hey, it's alright. Look at me. Who are you?" Rick asked and Michonne tried to reach for her katana but Rick pushed it out of her reach.
"No. We're not going to hurt you unless you try something stupid first, all right?" Rick said holding her down, she looked at me, I nodded meaning it's-fine.
"Rick" I heard Daryl say. We all looked at him as he walked in.
"Who the hell is this?" He asked looking at her then back at Rick.
"You wanna tell us your name?" Rick asked her. Should I tell them? Or should I let her tell them? She didn't say anything.
"You wanna tell us your name?" He asked again. She just stared at him.
"Y'all come on in here." Daryl said.
"Everything alright?" Rick said getting up from the floor and looking at Daryl. I'm surprised he hasn't asked me anything yet. But I could feel Carl glaring at.
"You're gonna wanna see this." Daryl said to Rick. Rick looked at us.
"Go ahead. Carl, Fatima, get the stuff." He said. So I went to go get the bag and Carl got the basket. And we went inside the cell area. Rick grabbed her katana.
"We'll keep this safe and sound. The doors are all locked you'll be safe here. And we can treat that." He pointed at her wound. She looked angry, I felt really bad.
"I didn't ask for your help." She said in a angry tone.
"Doesn't matter." Rick said walking into the cell area.
"Can't let you leave." He said. Daryl closed and locked the gate. We all followed Daryl to a cell and everyone looked surprised, there was a woman with really short hair sitting on the bed. She smiled at Rick and they hugged.
"Thank god. Thank god." Rick said stilling hugging the lady. She started hugging Hershel but stopped at Beth cause she saw the baby and then she looked at Rick and he looked and started crying a little and so she went over to Beth and Judith. I looked at Carl and he was holding back the tears. Then she looked at me.
"Who are you?" She asked looking at me.
"This is Fatima. She apart of the group now." Hershel said.
"Well it's nice to meet you, Fatima. I'm Carol." She said smiling at me.
"Like wise." I said smiling back.
"Fatima?" Rick looked at me.
"Yes, Rick?" I asked looking at him now. He started walking back to Michonne and so we followed. He opened to gate and walked over to Michonne.
"We can tend to that wound for you, give you a little food and water, and then send you on your way. But you're gonna have to tell us why were you with Fatima and where are our people?" Rick asked her, she was sitting in the bench and holding a rag to her wound.
"Rick, they were taken." I said to him. They all looked at me.
"Taken? By who?" He asked me.
"By-" Michonne cut me off.
"By the same son of bitch who shot me." She said in a angry tone. They looked back at her expect Carl he kept staring at me. Why does he kept staring at me?!
"Hey, these are our people. You tell us what happened now!" He said reaching for her wound and pressing it down. I went over to them.
"Don't you ever touch me again!" She yelled at him. Daryl pointed his crossbow at her.
"Better start talking. You're gonna have a much bigger problem than a gunshot wound." He said and she looked at him.
"You find them yourself." She said. God she making this worse. Rick made Daryl put down his crossbow.
"Wait! Guys!" I yelled making them look at me.
"Please, tell them what you know." I pleaded with her.
"... There's a town. Woodbury. About 75 survivors. I think they were taken there." She said looking at me and back at Rick.
"A whole town?" Rick asked her.
"It's run by this guy who calls himself the Governor- pretty boy, charming, Jim Jones type." She said. Jim Jones? So he kind of looks like Elvis?
"He got muscle?" Daryl asked.
"Paramilitary wannabes. They have armed sentries on every wall." Michonne said. They have walls?!
"You know a way in?" Rick asked her.
"The place is secure from walkers, but we could slip our way though." She said.
"This is Hershel father of the girl who was taken." Rick pointed at Hershel.
"He'll take are of that." He said walking over to me.
"Did you see the man's face?" He asked me.
"No..." I said looking down.
"What did he sound like?" Daryl asked me.
"Like a hillbilly. I think they knew him." I said. Should I tell them? No there going to find out by themselves.
"Maggie and Glenn told me to stay hidden." I said.
"Well, I'm glad you listen to them." Rick said smiling at me, they started walking and I followed them to the stairs and they started talking about the situation.
"How do you know we can trust her?" Oscar said.
"This is Maggie and Glenn. Why are you guys even debating?" I asked them.
"We ain't. I'll go after them" Daryl said.
"Well, this place sounds pretty secure. You can't go alone."
"I'll go." I said.
"I'm in" Oscar said.
"Alright then, let's pack up" Rick said so we started getting our stuff together in the car.
"I got the flash bangs and I got the tear gas. You never know what you're gonna need." Daryl said putting the stuff in the back of the car and Oscar was putting his gun in there too. I was putting bullets in my gun. Then Carl came over with the bags and Daryl helped him.
"Hey, don't you worry about your old man. I'm gonna keep my eye on him." Daryl said to Carl.
Carl looked at me and I looked back at my bullets. Hehe he's probably mad cause he can't come and I can. He went over to Rick and they started talking. Once everyone was done I got in the car. Rick was in the drivers sit and Daryl was in the passengers sit. Michonne sat on the right side of me and Oscar sat on the left side. I was in the middle. He drove down the road. They didn't say anything the whole way, expect for Michonne, she telling Rick were to go. Rick stopped the car and said he have to go on foot now. So we got out the car and got some of are stuff.
"Fatima, you stay behind me or Daryl, understand?" Rick asked with a serious look.
"I understand but, Rick, I can handle myself you know that, right?" I said and he nodded
"I know but, still." He said. Then we walked started walking into the woods. I walking behind Rick and Daryl.
"You know, what you did for me, for my baby while I was..." Rick looked at me then looked forward.
"Working things out- thank you." He said to Daryl.
"It's what we do." Daryl said. Working things out? What happened before I came here? Then suddenly we heard walkers.
"Rick." said Daryl.
"Get down!" Rick yelled quietly. Everyone got down.
"Get in formation. No gunfire." He said getting ready to kill a walker. Then I got out my knife and killed one that was behind us.
"There's to many of them." Daryl said holding out a knife.
"This way." Rick said leading us to a path.
"Through there. Come on." He said pointing at a little house. So, we ran inside there. Rick opened the door and let us in. Once we were all in Michonne closed the door. It smelled bad in here.
"The smell, it's loud." Daryl said covering his nose. They started looking for the source of the smell, while I stayed with Michonne.
"It's got to be a fox or what's left of one." Daryl said. I went over there to see what it was and there was a dead dog. I gasped.
"Aww, no. That's just sad." I said going back to Michonne.
"I guess Lessie went home." Daryl said going to a door. Then the walkers started banging on the front door, Rick called them over to him and he was shining his light on the bed. There was someone on the bed! So we all go are weapons out. Rick took off the blanket from the person and he shot up.
