The Dixons Rises

Chapter 37

Escape

*April's P.O.V*

My eyes were being blindfolded and I could hear those disgusting men laughing from around me, "What should we do to her?"

I heard nothing after that, they were probably whispering and I let out a scoff.

One guy finally opened the blindfold and I glared at him, "You touch me one more time and you'll regret it," I hissed and all of them laughed.

My fists were clenched as it was tied up by a rope. Rope, huh it seems easy.

"Let's do this," one guy stepped forward and I used my strength to snap out the rope.

When my hands are finally free I pulled out my pocket knife that was hidden from behind my jacket.

"Stay away or I'll kill you," I warned as I got up and move in a circle with my knife clenched in my right hand.

I saw my crossbow being held with one guy and my bag surrounded with some other bags.

"Fuck this," I whispered to myself as I ran pass through the guy and kicked the one which held my crossbow.

I grabbed it and ran to take my bag but someone tackled me down, I immediately stab the person as he screamed.

Rolling off, I grabbed my bag and took off.

I could hear their yelling from distance as they finally disappeared.

I look around to see a small deserted town. Alright maybe I could stay for awhile here.

But my mind drifted to something else, I had spot my chance of getting to Daryl and Ella, but I missed it.

I left Blake behind in Alexandria, he's probably worried. And I was too, what if those herd got inside? What if Blake ...

"Goddamn," I hissed as I sat down on the middle of the road.
All realization came through me, I was alone. I'm alone, for once I'm actually alone.

Calm yourself April, just go back to Alexandria. Daryl and Ella made it you know that. And if you go back there in time Blake would probably still be alive.

Nodding to myself I stood up and wiped the tears I didn't realize fell. I ran to a corner and saw a man standing, clearly alive.

I raised my crossbow slowly, "Turn around,"

The guy seem tensed as he slowly turned around. My eyes grew wide as I went to hug Glenn.

"Oh shit I thought you were dead," I said as he chuckled at me.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked and I sighed as I look at the dead familiar man.

"Just to clear my head, and hey that man is familiar," I answered and Glenn nodded.

"What happened in Alexandria? We heard the gunshots and the loud horn," he questioned and I shrugged.

"Bad people came, they killed some of us, but in the end we kill them or that they run away," I answered and his face grew in concern, "Maggie is alive,"

He look at me with relief washed over his face, "We need to get back though, the herd manage to get there, the walls seemed to hold them enough," I said and he nodded.

"Let's find Enid first," he muttered as we ran out of the corner.

There was a small herd of walkers on the street as Glenn and I manage to skipped them.

We went to inside this restaurant from behind and I saw Enid as she froze behind the front door.

Glenn immediately stepped forward and I did too. He pulled Enid from the door and I closed it slowly.

They soon broke into an argue as I guard the door.

"April, let's go," Glenn called and I nodded.

~*~

We were walking back to Alexandria when we stopped to look at the herd, "There was still a small spot to not be caught when I left," I mumbled.

Enid turned away and I left the rest on Glenn. I keep staring at the herd and cursed.

Blake is inside there.

"We're going to find another way," I heard Glenn said as we turned away and walked.

Then I saw Ella and a stranger as a grin crawled into my face.

"Ella," I called out and she turned to look at me and smiled. We had a small hug fest and let the green ballons out in the sky.

A loud voice was heard and I look to see the watchtower had fallen.

My heart stopped and every inch of my body screamed his name.

Blake.
