It's been a day since that massive crash and we're about 20 miles away from Alexandria. I hope everyone is okay. Let's just hope.

"Ain't you excited to see your buddies again?" Carly asks as we speedily turned a corner, passing some wondering lifeless Roamers.

I mean, I am excited to see everyone, Glenn, Maggie, Rick, Mason. Carl. I've missed everyone but have they missed me? Have they thought I had abandoned them? God I'm a fuckup. I shouldn't have come out here. Everything is messed up.

"Fuck, I don't know." I honestly say as I lean back in my seat. I sigh and close my eyes in hope I'll get some sleep.

I stare out of the dusty window and spot the Alexandria sign. We're not to far now, we'll make it before nightfall.
I hear the moans and groans of the walkers as they wondered the streets, hungry for flesh and blood.

"D-do you think they'll accept me?" Carly asks worryingly. I look at her confused.

"What are you talking about? Of course they will. You helped me."

"O-okay." She breaths slowly in and out.

I finally see the walls but not as I usually see them. Carly stops quietly as possible.

They're down.

"No. No. No!" I cry out in confusion and agony. "It-it can't be..."

"Mary, I'm so sorry."

"No! They're alive! They have to be..." A tear slips from my eye and quickly as possible, I wipe it away. Like I said before, I hate being weak.

"W-well we can try to get in somehow. Maybe over the walls?"

"I can try. You won't make it, it's too tall. Stay here and don't move. If walkers come; shoot them." I say to Carly, giving her a gun of mine.

I pack some ammo, a few knifes and one gun.

"Good luck." Carly whispers as I climb out of the RV.

I run straight to the wall, stabbing and shooting attacking walkers. I sigh in relief as I climb the wall.

I land on the ground with a thud but not enough of a threat to attract walkers. I see Maggie on the watch tower and stare into her eyes as the walkers surrounded me. I stab a few but my knife got stuck. I try getting out of the walkers head but it defeated me. I grab my gun, unsure if I should be using it on them or me.

I shoot a few and eventually run out of bullets. I cuss under my breath and wait for my inevitable death. It never comes. The walkers are taken down my gunfire, lots of gunfire.

Once they were all down, I look to see my hero and it's Sasha, Daryl and Abraham. Glenn is now on the watch tower hugging Maggie for dear life. I weakly smile at all of them.

"Can you get the gate!? I'd appreciate it, pal." Abraham shouts across at me and I nod and open the large gate. They lead in with a massive truck following by Carly's car. I smile in relief and run to Carly's car.

"Come on! Help me!" I shout at everyone. Glenn and Maggie start shooting from the tower. Abraham, Sasha and Daryl all start shooting from the truck. Carly is now on top of the RV, aiming at nearby walkers.

"We've got a plan!" Daryl shouts over the gunfire and moans. He looks over at Carly and his face goes pale.

"Shit! I'm outta ammo!" I exclaim at Carly. Daryl throws over a gun and Abraham throws Carly a rifle and she starts shooting. The rest start heading towards the lake.

All I see is lifeless walkers, stumbling over dead ones that have been put down. They don't care, they don't envy like I do. They are dead.

I spot Rosita, Tara, Eugene, Carol and Morgan all take down the walkers. They're not gonna make it.

Where's the rest of them? Where's Carl and Mason? No no no.

"Fuck!" I curse and I store away my gun. I grab my knife and I hop down from the car.

"Mary! What the fuck are you doing!?" Carly shouts at me, reloading her gun.

"Saving this place!" I yelled back.

She starts shooting again as I kill some walkers. Gunshots are heard in the distance from Maggie, Glenn and Carly.

I turn and see a walker. I gasp and accidently drop my knife in panick. A axe goes through its head multiple times before its actually dead. Behind the corpse is Rick covered in blood. He nods at me and I nod back.

I grasp my knife and continue to slaughter walkers. Nearly all of the Alexandrians are killing walkers and it was amazing.

Suddenly I felt a hot sense against my neck. I turned to kill a walker, and saw a huge fire on the lake and Daryl with a rocket launcher in his grip. I smiled in excitement. The walkers were distracted and hopefully will be for a while.

The next walker looked familiar, like I knew them. A gun shot was placed in it's chest as well. His face and body were covered in damp blood. His hair was faded but he doesn't look as decayed as the rest of the walkers and from the clothes he wore, he was Alexandria. I knew him. My torturer. Ollie. I stabbed him in the head before moving on. I didn't care. He was an asshole. A mistake.

Blood soaked my clothes as I carried on killing more walkers. The adrenaline rushed through me so I didn't feel anything. No pain, no jealously, just nothing. I saw the sun starting to rise.

Then it was over.

All of the walkers were dead and blood grazed the streets.

I ran over to Maggie and Glenn and greeted them with a smile and a hug.

I ran over to Tara and Eugene and also hugged them.

Mason and some other Alexandrians rushed out of the church. I got down to his level and hugged him for dear life.

I saw Michonne and Judith. Judith giggled and Michonne had a weak smile plastered on her face.

"Where's Carl?" I asked her and he looked down in sadness. "Where is he?!" I said a little louder.

"H-he's inside." Michonne choked out.

I walked in to the familiar looking infirmary and noticed Daryl getting stitches in his shoulder from Denise. She gave me a sad smile and carried on.

Carl wasn't in this room.

"He's upstairs." Daryl murmured sadly at me and I ran up the stairs.

I looked into the closest room and they're was Rick and Carl.

"Carl..." A tear slipped out of my eye as I approached him. His eye was covered by a bandage and he was asleep. He seems peaceful. Innocent.

My love. Come back to me.

I was screaming on the inside while writing this. Omg.

Anyway...

If you were in the apocalypse, what weapon would you use?

I would use something silent and small so something like a hammer or a screw driver, I know that's stupid but idk.
