In the morning, we started back up on the road. I sat in the car with Rick, Michonne, Carl and Judith. As everyone else Road in the RV. We had to stop after a while because the RV ran out of gas. Glenn and Abraham were looking it over.
"Can't win. Might as well paint it red, put a ladder on it." Abraham complains.
"All we need is another battery." Glenn states.
"Where in the hell are we gonna find another battery?" Abraham says impatiently.
"Right over here." Glenn sighs. I look over at Daryl and Jay. Jay was messing around with her sniper. After replacing the battery we started back up on the road for a little while. We soon pulled up to a tall gate.
"You ready?" Michonne asked Rick. I look in review mirror. He seemed to not let go of his guard unlike the others.
"Yeah." Rick says as we get out of the car I went to grab Judith.
"I got her. Thank you." Rick says as I step a side.
"Hey. Hey, sweetheart. Come here." Rick grabs Judith.
"Even though you were wrong, you were still right." Carol walks by us. We walk up to the gate unsure of what to expect.
They open the fence revealing a guy. Something rattled a trash can as Daryl shoots whatever it was his crossbow. It was a possum. He picks it up as the guy stares at us.
"We brought dinner." Daryl looks at the guy.
"It's okay. Come on in, guys." Aaron tells the guy as we all walk in. I stand next to Jay and Tara extra closely. I look around the place. It pretty much looks like a living neighborhood surrounded by a big wall. As if the walkers don't exist while you're in here. The gate closes automatically as I turn around. No turning back now.
"Before we take this any further, I need you all to turn over your weapons. Stay, you hand them over." The guy who opened the gate for us asked.
"We don't know if we want to stay." Rick says.
"It's fine, Nicholas." Aaron tells the guy.
"If we were gonna use them, we would have started already." Rick states.
"Let them talk to Deanna first." Aaron tells the guy named Nicholas.
"Who's Deanna?" Abraham asked. Good question. I guess she runs the place.
"She knows everything you'd want to know about this place. Rick, why don't you start?" Aaron says.
"Sasha. Harley." Rick nods his head as we look back. Two walkers were limping toward us. I lift my gun up and shoot it within seconds as Sasha did the same.
"It's a good thing we're here." Rick says.
Rick handed Judith off to Carl. He follows Aaron to a house. We stood around and observe the place. It's strange how they act normal. Like this is just a normal neighborhood, normal time, normal everything. But that's not right. I don't think any of these people have been outside the walls for the longest.
"Any of you feel a bit uncomfortable?" Jay says as she holds her sniper close.
"We all do. That's not gonna go away whether we stay or go." Noah says. After few minutes past Rick walks back to us with a older women. She was short for her height. Probably around Jay's height.
"We are going to try this place out." Rick tells us. I could feel a hint of 'we are gonna talk more about this later' in his voice.
"We still need you to hand over your weapons." This Deanna woman says as a guy rolls a cart to us. We hand over our weapons. Jay has a small emotional separation from her sniper.
