"Do we keep fighting?" Glenn questioned, slamming his back against a wall for protection. A while before, Maggie, Glenn and Michonne had returned to help the other's after Ali's shock kill.

Rick turned the corner and fired his weapon at a nearby walker before turning and killing a guard. "We have to. We have to drive them the hell out of here."

Glenn shook his head in disbelief at the whole situation. Shaking his head, he reluctantly turned the corner and continued fighting.

The group had fortunately killed or drove out most of the Governor's guards but a few still remained. They skilfully hid round corners and only attacked the group when they knew there was a clear shot. Luckily, there was always someone to warn the victim before any damage could be done.

Daryl smirked as he watched another guard run for his life back towards Woodbury.

"What's that smirk for?" Selena questioned, frowning in confusion.

Daryl bent down to rip an arrow from a poor man's forehead. "They're running, trying to get back to Woodbury."

Selena snorted. "I give them an hour before walker's are on their asses."

"I'll give them thirty minutes the way they're yelling'."

"Is that a bet Mr Dixon?" Selena smirked as they both dove behind a destroyed car for cover.

"You got that damn right."

Selena thought for a moment. "What do I get if I win?"

Carl lent against the prison wall just as a bullet skimmed past him. Pushing his hair from his forehead, he cursed.

"Did I just hear you swear?" Belle questioned, appearing by his side. She had a teasing smile on her face causing Carl to wonder where she got her energy from. "I'm gonna tell Ali."

Carl chuckled and shook his head. "What? You don't expect me to swear at a time like this?"

"True." Belle giggled.

There was a moment of silence between the pair as they both tried to get their breathe back. Belle looked to Carl and took his free hand in hers.

She tilted her head to the side. "Are you okay?"

Carl nodded his head as he turned to look her in the eyes. "Yeah...Sort of. I'll feel better once they've gone and I can see if mum's okay."

Belle nodded understanding his frustration. She quickly checked to make sure her weapon was loaded before rolling her shoulders, trying to loosen the tension. "Here we go." She muttered.

Carl quickly grabbed her wrist stopping her in her tracks. Without warning, his lips connected against hers before pulling away a second later. A blush coated Belle's cheeks as she stood in shock.

"Be careful." Carl smiled.

Belle just nodded her head before disappearing around the corner; her gun drawn and bullets flying everywhere. Carl cursed once more before going to join her.
