Chapter 9
*THE DAY BEFORE*
Glenn was no fool. He knew what he saw. He just had to figure out a way to prove it. Neriad wasn't dead. He had seen her with his own eyes, multiple times. Neraid's curse made her venerable to water. He went to put his hypothesis to the test.

Autumn was sitting at a table in the cafeteria when suddenly a wave of icy water fell down on her head. She jumped, shocked and turned around to see Glenn standing behind her with a now empty bucket of water. 

"What the hell?" Autumn said angrily, before she evaporated into a cloud of bubbles. Glenn took a step back in shock.

The cloud of bubbles floated to the door and then went through it. Glenn followed. He trailed the bubbles out to the yard, where the others were.

"Glenn?" Rick asked then noticed a familiar floating group of bubbles. He looked at Daryl who was looking at in awe. Daryl muttered something under his breath before sprinting to follow it without hesitation.

"Daryl!" Rick called, then followed.  The rest of the group followed.  The bubbles floated all the way to the gate. Glenn flung it open with out blinking with Daryl hot on his heels. Maggie and Carol remained on the flanks and killed off any walkers that came close. The bubbles floated over to the small creek a few hundred yards away from the gates of the prison. It hovered over the creek for a few seconds before cliff diving into it with a splash.  The group had a sudden halt at the bank.

They looked down into the once murky water. Water that now flowed clear as the ocean. And now, the bubbles were growing bigger. Changing form. Within a moment, Neraids body laid on the bottom of the creek, well her siren body. Maggie gasped. The group was shocked. Suddenly, without warning, Neraid's eyes violently snapped open. Lori jumped back. She blinked twice before breaking the waters surface. As soon as she did a powerful song flooded the world. So powerful that even Kronos heard it and understood its message.

Translation:

"Neraid Jackson is alive"
