Alone

        "Ah! Who the hell are you?" The man asked holding a shotgun.
"We don't mean any harm." Rick said trying to calm the man down.
"Get outta my house!" The man yelled.
"Okay, okay, okay. We will, but we can't right now." He said yelled quietly.
"Now!" The man yelled.
"Shut him up." Michonne said.
"Get out right now!" The man yelled again stilling holding his gun up.
"There are walkers outside." Rick said and the man looked around clearly not listening to what Rick was saying.
"I'll call the cops!" The man yelled.
"I am a cop. Now I need you to lower the gun." Rick said putting his gun on the ground but the man just looked at him. He's a cop?
"Don't do anything rash. Everything fine, alright let's just take this nice and slow, okay?" Rick said getting up.
"Show me your badge." The man pulled the gun at Rick.
"It's in my pocket. Now I'm just gonna reach down nice slow." Rick reach for his pocket but instead he grabbed the gun and it shot towards Daryl and I, so I ducked and Daryl moved out of the way. Rick wrestled with the man but he bit Rick and was going to open the door but Michonne took out her katana and stabbed him, we all stared at her in shock. Daryl went over to the door and looked through.
"Remember the Alamo?" Daryl asked.
"Help me with the door." Rick said and Daryl went over to Rick and helped pick up the man.
"You got to be kidding me." Oscar said.
"He's dead. Check the back." Rick said, Michonne opened the door. Rick and Daryl throw the body out. Oscar went to check the back.
"It's clear." He said as Michonne closed the door and we got out of that place and run pass the walker that were now eating that man. It started getting dark. So we started walking quicker. When we finally got there we hid behind a car and there was about three people on the walls one was using the light and the other two were far from him. The one on the light left. Then Michonne stated leaving.
"Hey! Hey!" Rick yelled quietly at her but she just kept going.
"Damn it." Rick said going back toward us.
"All right, we need to downsize." He said and Oscar give him the gun.
"Ain't no way we're gonna check in all then buildings, not with all the guards there." Daryl said taking a gun. Then we heard a twig snap and we all turned around and pointed are our guns. It was Michonne. She mouthed something and pointed in a direction. We looked at each other and Rick nodded.
"All right, let's go." Rick said following Michonne. She lead us to the back of a warehouse? And into a place with food and tables.
"This is where you were held?" Rick asked her.
"I was questioned." She said.
"Any idea where they could be?" I asked her and Daryl went over the window and peeked through.
"I thought you said there was a curfew." Daryl said Rick and I went over and I saw some people walking somewhere. Where are they going?
"The street is packed during the day. Those are stragglers." She said to Daryl.
"If anyone comes in here, we're sitting ducks. We gotta move." Rick said peeking out the window.
"They could be in his apartment." She said. We looked at her.
"Yeah? What if they ain't?" Daryl said. We walked over to her.
"Then we'll look somewhere else." She said in angry tone.
"You said you could help us." Rick said to her.
"I'm doing what I can." She said looking at Rick. Ughh they fight too much, it's giving me a headache.
"Then where the hell are they." Oscar said.
"Hey." Rick said to us meaning he wants to talk to us. So Daryl, Oscar and I followed him.
"If this goes south, we're cutting her loose." Rick said.
"But, Rick, she help us get here." I said to him.
"Yes, but can we trust her?" Oscar said to me.
"Oscar right, Fatima, she could be leading us in a trap." Rick said but before I could respond to that, there was a knock at the door. We all hid at the back.
"I know you're here. I saw you moving from outside." I heard footsteps getting closer.
"Alright, now. You're not supposed to be in here and you know it. Who's in here." He said getting closer to us and once he got close each Rick pushed him to the wall and held a gun to him.
"Shut up. Get on your knees." Rick said pushing him on the ground.
"Hands behind your back. Zip tie him." Rick said as Daryl ties him.
"Where are our people?" Rick asked him.
"I don't know. I don't know." He said shaking his head no. I was getting mad.
"You are holding some of our people. Tell us where they are now!" I yelled quietly so the people outside wouldn't hear me.
"I don't know." The man said looking at me.
"Open your mouth." Rick said, the man opened his mouth and Rick put a sock in it. Then Daryl hit him in the back of the head knocking him out. And they pulled him to the back. Rick went to the door and we followed him, we heard gunshots. So Rick opened the door and he looked out first, then started walking out and we followed him. We went down into an alley which had a doorway and Rick opened it. It was a hallway, at the end Rick stopped which meant there was someone there. So we waited and once the person was gone Rick started slowly walking over there and stopped, they started coming this way so Daryl got out some tear gas and Rick got a flash bang, they went off and they run in. They grabbed Glenn and Maggie, and ran off leave those other people alone while they shoot. We ran outside, Rick was holding up Glenn so he wouldn't fall to the ground, we got inside a store or something and Glenn fall to the floor while Maggie tried to help him up a little.
"Ain't no way out back here." Daryl said checking the back.
"Rick, how did you find us?" Maggie asked looking at him, I looked around for Michonne, she was gone. Ugh where did she go now?!
"How bad are you hurt?" Rick asked Glenn while Daryl came back to us.
"I'll be alright." Glenn said. I looked at him and his face had blood on it and a bruise on his right eyes and he also didn't have a shirt on. He doesn't look 'alright.'
"Where's Michonne?" I asked them.
"Michonne?" Rick asked.
"That woman?" I said.
"She was right behind us." Rick said looking out the window and back at us.
"Maybe she was spotted. Want me to go look for her?" Daryl asked Rick.
"No. We got to get him out of here. She's on her own." Rick looking at me then getting up.
"Daryl, this was Merle." Glenn said, while Maggie help him put on a shirt. Daryl looked at him. So the guy that taken Glenn and Maggie was a guy named Merle. Woow, asshole.
"It was. He did this." Glenn said.
"You saw him?" Rick asked.
"Face to face. He threw a walker at me. He was gonna execute us." Glenn said.
"S-so my brothers the governor?" Daryl asked him.
"No, it's somebody else. Your brother's his lieutenant or something." Maggie said.
"Does he know I'm still with you?" Daryl said he sound concerned.
"He does now. Rick, I'm sorry. We told him where the prison was. We couldn't hold out." Glenn said and Rick it to his level, since he was on the ground.
"Don't. No need to apologize." Rick said to Glenn an then went over to the window.
"They're gonna be looking for us." I said making Rick look at me, then at Glenn.
"We have to get back. Can you walk?" Rick asked Glenn and walked over to Glenn and helped him up
"We got a car few miles, back." Rick said.
"Hey, if Merle's around, I need to see him." Daryl said.
"Not now. We're in hostile territory." Rick said.
"He's my brother, I ain't-" Rick cut him off.
"Look at what he did! Look, we gotta to get out of here now." Rick said to Daryl.
"Maybe I can talk to him. Maybe I can work something out." Daryl said to Rick trying to convince him.
"No, no, no. You're not thinking straight. Look, no matter what they say, they're hurt. Glenn can barely walk. How are we gonna make it out if we get overrun by walkers and this governor catches up to us? I need you. Are you with me?" Rick asked and we moved to the front door.
"Yeah." Daryl said and Rick nodded.
"Alright, ready?" He asked us we all nodded.
"Okay, let's go. Grab the tear gas." Rick said and Daryl grabbed the can.
"Ready? One, two, three." Rick opened the door and Daryl throw the tear gas outside. We waited a second.
"Let's go." Rick said running out and we followed him. Then those people started shooting at us. I shot one in the head. We stated running to the wall. Rick told us to take cover. I kept shooting at some people, I hit some people. I took cover behind a wall with Oscar.
"How many?!" Rick yelled.
"I didn't see!" Oscar yelled back at him. I started reloading my gun.
"Doesn't matter. There's gonna be more of them. We need to move." Daryl said reloading his gun. He started looking in his bag.
"Any grenades left?" Rick asked.
"Uh-huh." Daryl responded to Rick.
"Get 'em ready. We gotta gun into the wall." Rick said as Daryl got the grenades out. Maggie shot some bullets and so did I.
"You guys go ahead. I'm gonna lay down some cover fire." Daryl said handing Glenn an M16.
"No, we gotta stay together." I said.
"Too hairy. I'll be right behind you." Daryl said handing me an M16 as well.
"Ready?" Daryl throw the grenade. I followed Maggie and Glenn while Oscar followed behind me. We went to the bus and Oscar got on first helping Glenn get on while Maggie and I shot some people. I heard Oscar scream and I looked over to him and saw him fall off the bus and on to the ground, Maggie and I went over to him, I covered her and she called for Rick. Maggie got up an shot him in the head. Why would you do that?! She helped me up in the bus and I help her get on. Rick finally got on the bus. He call Daryl's name but he told him to go. I jump down from the bus and followed Rick. We went behind the car and waited for Daryl. Then Michonne came out and her face was bloody.
"Where the hell were you?" Rick asked pulling his gun out. Ugh here we go again. I rolled my eyes.
"Puts your hands up. Turn around." Rick said and she did what she was told to do. He grabbed her katana.
"Get what you came for?" Rick asked her as she leaned on the wall behind her.
"Where are the rest of your people?" She asked.
"They got Oscar" Glenn said pointing his gun at her.
"Daryl is missing. You didn't see him?" Maggie asked pointing her gun at her too. I didn't have my gun out.
"If anything happens to him-" Michonne cut him off.
"I brought you here to save them." She said to him.
"Thanks for the help." Rick said.
"You'll need help to get them back to the prison or to go back in there for Daryl. Either way, you need me." She said.
"She's right, Rick." I said and he looked at me.
"Alright, fine. But you're going to take Glenn back." He said to Michonne, then looked at me.
"And you're going with her." He said with a serious look.
"Okay." I said. We started walking to the car it was pretty far. Michonne was helping Glenn while I looked around for walkers holding my gun in place. When we finally got to the car there was a least four walkers there. So, I took out my throwing knives and throw my knives at their heads.
"Good shot, kid." Michonne said to me. I smiled and went over to the dead walker and got my knives back.
"Well, I learned from the best."
