Dixon's Girl

Chapter 23

I squeal as my dad chased me around the jail. I ran up the stairs and realized I was cornered. "Damn" I mumbled to myself.

My dad walks closer. I look off the ledge. I edge closer to the ledge.
My dad inches closer. I jump off the 50 foot ledge. I land on my feet and continue running, I run outside where I freeze.

I swallow hard when I see the man. The one that kidnapped Maggie and Glenn. The one that hurt them. The one that killed Hershel. The Governor.

I run in side with a blank face. I stare at Rick. He looks at me. "What is it Faith? What is it?" He asks confused but eager to know. I point towards the exit of the jail.

"It's him he's here."

I continue to stare into space until Rick brushes past me. I snap out of my thoughts and grabbed my gun. I jog outside and stare at the governor. He looks at me evilly and smirks. Then he points to me.

I know what this means. I walk closer slowly. I walk towards the rusty fence that is now surrounded by walkers. I look at him blankly. "I know," I nod "I know what this means. And I won't give in. I won't. Not this time."

He opens his mouth but I continue to talk. "Save it. I don't want to hear your orders to get me or you foolish commands to destroy the jail. I don't care." I back away slowly. My gun stilled loaded and aimed.

That's when it happened. We weren't ready but now, we had to be. I started to shoot. They shot back.

That's when it was over they blew it up. My home, my life, my friends gone. Under the debris. I didn't even realize I was crying.

I felt a hand grab my arm. It was dad. He pulled me away. I start to panic. 'Where's Jasmine and Jacob?' I thought. That's when it hit me. Hard.

I scream. But my dad covers my mouth. We run. Run far away. I turn back as the prison disappeared from view. The prison where it happened, where my life was, where my friends were.

Gone
