~Mary's POV~

Carl had gone to see Rick and was taking forever. I wanted his company. I missed him.

I heard a knock at the door. I quickly got up hoping it was Carl. To my surprise it was Ollie.

"What do you want Ollie?" I rudely said opening the door slightly.

"Can I come in? Or can you come out here?" I nodded and walked out into the slight coolness of the Georgian whether. It was sunset now and it was six o'clock.

"Again, what do you want?" I said crossing my arms.

"Well I came to ask you a question."

"And that might be...?"

"Do you want to get back together?" What the fuck? Is he having a laugh?

"Are you serious?" I laughed. "After everything you've done, you seriously want to come here and ask me that? You're full of shit." I turned to walk back inside but was stopped by Ollie grabbing my arm very tightly.

"Ollie stop. You're hurting me." I winced, trying to pry off his hand away from my upper arm.

"You don't ever talk to me like that. Got it? You're mine." I could smell the rank smell of alcohol on his breath.

"Go to hell. I'm not 'yours'. I'm taken. Get over it." He grabbed me by the throat and pushed me against the wall. His arm was strong and was hard to fight.

"If your not mine, then who's are you?!"

"N-non of your d-damn business." I choked out.

I fought him by scratching his face. He stumbled back, grabbing his face and giving me a death glare. Blood was dripping from his cheek. He walked away cursing under his breath.

I sit there for about ten minutes. I didn't know he could act like that. I've never seen him like that. But he needed to know that he can't treat woman - or people - like that.

I sat there and cried. I don't know why I was crying. I guess I felt guilty, well something like that. I just feel like I could handled it better. What is wrong with me?

As I sat there crying I was lifted up by a strong pair of arms.

"Mary? Are you okay? What happened?" Alex asked me taking ahold of my hands.

"N-nothing I'm fine." I said wiping the tears away from my eyes and running upstairs. I took a deep breath and had a quick shower.

I sat down on the wet tiled floor and stared into nothingness. I don't know why this whole ordeal had taken over my mind.

I got out the small space and grasped a towel. I dried my hair and body and got changed back into my clothes.

I ambled into my room and relaxed on my bed. I had read all the books I had got from Deanna and from the library. I needed to take them back soon and tell Deanna I can do what she wants me to do.

Carl told me he isn't getting a job, but I am older than him by three months so I am told that when we both turn 16 we can get jobs. At the moment I'm just training.

I decided to go to Deanna's and get a few more books on surgery and bloodloss.

"Alex I'm going out." I mumble at him and he nods.

"What time are you coming back?"

"I don't know. It's 6 now so I can get back by 6:30. Why?"

"Katy's coming round. Would you be able to stay at Carl's?" He asks me. He still didn't know that me and Carl are in a relationship. I don't think anyone knows...

"I can try. What about Mason?"

"He's staying at Jessie's and Pete's."

"Oh okay. I'll come back later and get my things." With that, I walk out with a pile of books in my hands.

I go over to Deanna's and knock on the door. Reg answered.

"Oh hello. Can I help you?" He said, opening the door wider to let me in.

"You can. I'm here to return these books? Deanna had lent me them. I just wanted to check something too."

"Mary?" Maggie called my name from the doorway of the office.

"Hi Maggie. Is Deanna here? I want to return these books."

"Yeah she's just through here. Thanks Reg."

I walk into the office with Maggie as Deanna says hello.

"Hey Deanna. I wanted to know if that deal was still open?" I asked.

"Oh yes! Of course. I'll tell Pete of the good news. You'll have to wait until you're 16 though."

"Yes Deanna I know. Alex told me, but thanks anyway." I smiled.

"Ah dang it! I left something downstairs. Mary can you come with me?" Maggie asked like she wanted to talk to me or something. I nodded and we went downstairs.

"What is it that you're doing?" She questioned me, picking up some blue prints.

"She wants me to work at the doctors here. I need to train and wait until I'm 16."

"Oh well you'll do very well. You've got a talent with some bandages." She chuckled as we walked back up the stairs.

Maggie and I stopped as we heard Deanna and someone else talking.
A voice like Gabriel's spoke. What is he talking about?

"-Satan. He disguises himself as the angel of light, I'm afraid that false light is here, inside these walls. Your community? You say it's not a paradise, but it is. I'm grateful to be here, I am. But you made a mistake letting in the others."

"How so?" Deanna asked.

"Rick, his group. They're not good people. They can't be trusted. They've done things, unspeakable things."

"They must have done things. Rick said as much. They survived. That's what makes them assets."

"You're wrong. They can't be trusted. They're dangerous. You may belive what they did, what they had to do, that they were afraid. And so, the day will come. When they'll put their own lives before yours and everyone else's. And they'll destroy everything you have here. Everything you've been working so hard for."

"Why are you just now coming to me with this?"

"Satan, he disguises himself as the angel of light. His servants of the false apostle don't deserve this! They don't deserve paradise."

"Thank you Gabriel. I have a lot to think about."

We heard a door creak and we knew Gabriel was leaving. "I only wish I had come to you sooner. I just... I hope it isn't too late." Gabriel said before opening the door and leaving.

Me and Maggie stood there in shock at what he had just said.

We have done things. We did them to survive. I hate doing the things we have to but... It must happen. Or else we'll die.

I heavy breathed before walking out, slamming the door.

A/N

Hi.

Gabriel's an asshole. I use to like him but what he did to the group messed me up. I wanted to scream.

Anyways!

If you could be any character from Twd who would you be? Dead or alive.

Personally I would love to be Maggie or Michonne. Or even Tara. I have no clue.
