I looked over to Rick who was all the way to the boxcar, a few hundred feet away from me and Carl. Daryl and Michonne were behind Rick. We had been called one by one to go to the boxcar and to remove all of our weapons before we went. Rick was watching Carl and I, making sure things ran smoothly.
"Now the girl." Gareth says, I hesitated at first, I didn't know why they didn't call Carl before me. Maybe they just called him last for no reason, or maybe they wanted to shoot him. They could've shot all of us if they wanted to, but my thoughts had kept me from leaving so Gareth yelled again,
"Go, now."
I looked at Carl, he nodded, saying to go. I started to walk towards daryl, Michonne, and Rick. I locked eyes with Rick but then looked behind me to watch Carl. My heart was pounding in my chest, I felt my hands shake. But once they told him to go, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I waited for him to catch up with me, I hugged him. We then got into line behind Michonne, waiting what we were going to do now.
"This is bullshit." Daryl mutters. Rick looked back at me,
"You still have your dagger?" He asked quietly, then Daryl and Michonne looked at me, surprised but hopeful I still had a weapon. I nodded, trying to keep it on the down low. And then, Gareth yelled from above,
"Go inside the boxcar."
Rick hesitated, he then opened the door and walked inside. We all did and then closed it, it was so dark that I couldn't even see the people in front of me until they spoke. I jumped, startled that there were people inside. Then, Glenn stepped forward to reveal himself in the little sliver of light given by the door being cracked open, I felt my breath hitch, I couldn't believe it was glenn.
"Glenn?" Michonne asked,
"And Maggie... The others are here." Glenn smiled, I hugged him.
"Is Sena here, or Jamie or Judith?" I asked Glenn quickly and quietly, no one else could hear me but him. He shook his head,
"I'm sorry, I think I saw them escape the prison with Carol..." Glenn then was interrupted by a man that didn't sound familiar at all,
"Who the hell are you?" I heard a gruff voice from behind everyone on the other side of the boxcar. I then made out a tall and buff red headed man standing in the corner, he had asked the question.
"Abraham, it's our old group." Glenn says. Abraham nodded, understanding
"How are we going to get out of here?" Carl asked. We then heard Rick speak from the very front end of the boxcar, he was looking out the crack of the door, watching outside.
"They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out..." Rick says, I shifted on my feet, watching him as he kept his eye outside. Everyone was watching him,
"Find out what?" Abraham asked,
Rick looked back at us, he then locked eyes with me, "they're fuckin' with the wrong people."
...
I was cutting steaks of wood out from the boxcar walls then widdling them into sharp, dangerous tools for the others to use as weapons. I had given out about six already, but I heard people coming towards us, I hid my dagger and pretended to just be sitting down. The door then opened, revealing people in gas masks, I felt my heart stop, I ran over to Rick, not knowing what to do. They threw something inside, I then heard someone shout,
"Down!"
We all ran away from it, it exploded, giving out a gas. I felt my head become dizzy, I knew it was going to put us to sleep. I fell down and I had to watch Rick get dragged out with Daryl and Glenn, I couldn't speak and I passed out after that.
