A Dixon Sister?

Chapter 24

Emma POV

"Me, Rick and Daryl will take the back of the group. T-dog you lead. You have the riot shield. Then everyone else fill in the middle of the group". I ordered.

"I thought he was the leader". Tomas said pointing to Rick.

"I am but she and Daryl are my second in command.......and she is a better strategist". Rick answered.

"Alright...get into formation then T-dog lead the way". I said.

Everyone got into their places and T-dog lead the way to the other cell block. We walked around the dim lit hallways and me, Daryl and Rick were trailing quite far behind so we could talk.

"Did you see the look on his face". Daryl asked quietly.

"He makes one move". Rick said quietly probably meaning 'If he makes one move kill him'

"Just give me the signal". Daryl agreed.

We finished the conversation and walked a bit faster to catch up with the rest of the group. We walked behind Andrew (who was still covered in Big tiny's blood) as we went into a smallish wash room. The room had a set of iron double door, a few washing machines and a set of iron racks that had towels and blue prison jump suits on them. I heard groaning and banging coming from behind the set of double doors. We all walked towards the doors and tried opening them but they where locked. Rick threw Tomas a set of keys.

"I'm not opening that". Tomas looked at Rick like he was the crazy one.

"Yes you are. Your the one that wanted this cell block. Your gonna open just one of the door. Not both of them. We nee to control this". Rick answered.

Tomas reluctantly picked up the keys and walked to the door. He fiddled around with them a little before finding the right one. "You bitches ready". He mocked as he put the key in the door an turned it. I quickly got one of my katana's out of my sheath and ready. Tomas pulled and yanked at one of the door but they wouldn't budge. I lightly laughed a little and Tomas turned around and gave me a dirty look. "I got this". He reassured.

Before i knew what what going on Tomas had opened both doors at the same time.

"I SAID ONE DOOR". Rick shouted as he fort off walkers.

"SHIT HAPPENS". Tomas shouted back as he too fort off walkers.

I sliced the top of two walkers heads off and saw the end of a weapon coming towards my face. I ducked out of the way and killed another walker. Tomas ran in front of me and pretended to kill a walker before chucking it on me. I accidentally dropped my katana and fell to the floor. I held the walker inches from my face. Its mouth dripped with old blood and rotting flesh

"EM.......T MIND THE GAP". I heard someone shout before the walker was stabbed in the head and pulled off me. It was Daryl.

He held out his hand and I took it. I stood up (grabbing my Katana on the way) and faced Tomas as he killed the last walker. Rick came and stood next to me.

"It was coming at me bro". Tomas lied. He looked at me emotionless.

"Yeah I know, I get it Cinderella. Shit happens". Tomas looked at me with pure hatred.

Rick raised his machete and landed it in-between Tomas' eyes. Andrew screamed and ran at us with his weapon raised but I kicked him over. He looked shocked at moment before getting up and running off. I quickly put my katanas back in my sheath and pulled out my bow and a arrow. I loaded my bow, pulled the draw string and aimed it at Andrew.

"I got him". Rick said and ran after Andrew.

I pointed my loaded bow to the floor, seeing that T-dog and Daryl had their weapons trained on the other two prisoners. The other two prisoners were still armed and standing.

"Drop your weapons and get on your knees". I demanded. The prisoners didn't budge.

"We have no affiliation with what just happened". Axle pleaded.

"Man get on you knees". Daryl scolded. The two prisoners reluctantly dropped their weapons, knelt down and put their hands behind their heads.

"Tell them Oscar". Axle begged.

"Just stop talking man". Oscar asked. Axle looked to thew floor and almost started crying.

Rick walked back into the room looking very stern. Rick got his gun out of his holster and pointed it at Oscar.

"Did you know what Andrew and Tomas where going to try and do". Rick's voice was rising.

"We didn't have anything to do with that". Oscar confessed.

"Really, you didn't know......you knew". Rick blamed. He turned round and now had his gun trained on Axle's head.

"Sir, please, please listen to me. It was them that was bad it wasn't us". Axle was now full on crying.

"Well that's convenient". I said my voice practically dripping with sarcasm.

"You saw what he did to tiny. He was my friend, please we ain't like that.....I like my pharmaceuticals but i'm no killer. Oscar, here, he's an B and E and he ain't very good at it neither. We ain't the violent kind....they were. I swear to God.....I wanna live". Axle pleaded. He was crying so much right now it was pretty unbelievable.

Rick spun around and pointed his gun at Oscar. There was a long silence before anyone spoke.

"What about you". Rick asked.

"I ain't never pleaded for my life and I ain't about to start now. So you do what you gotta do". Oscar said looking Rick in the eyes.

Rick lowered his gun. "We lead them to the cell block.....either of you try anything, I will kill you". Rick said sternly.

Rick walked over to Axle and grabbed him by the scruff of his collar. Daryl did the same to Oscar. Me and T-dog then lead the ever falling group, to the cell block. I opened the cell block door. Rick and Daryl pushed Oscar and Axle into the cell block. I walked in last and looked around. The floor was littered with body's, blood stains and paper. The smell was awful and you could practically tasted the rotting flesh.

"We knew these guys.........they where good men". Axle said.

"Lets go". Rick just ignored Axle.

"So you just gonna leave us in here. Man, this is sick". Oscar said a bit pissed off.

"Were locking down this cell block. From now on, this part of the prison is yours. Take it or leave it, that was the deal". Rick answered and walked off. Daryl followed.

"You think this is sick, you don't want to know whats outside. I'm sixteen and I have probably seen more horrors than you have. Count yourselves the lucky ones". I said and walked after Daryl and Rick.

I heard T-dog say something to the prisoners and then quickly follow us. We all walked back to our sell block in silence. Me and Daryl walked a little behind T-dog and Rick but not too far. We all got back to the cell block and I put my bow and arrow back into my quiver, as Rick opened the cell block door. I closed it behind us and walked towards the cell where they were keeping Herschel. I leaned on the doorway and saw Maggie and Beth holding Herschel's hand and crying.

We had food and Herschel had survived. Today had been a good day.
