The start

The Plan

"There's got to be another play.
We can't just control that many." Carter complains.

"I said it before, walkers herd up.
They'll follow a path if something's drawing them. That's how we can get 'em all at once." Rick tells him and everyone else.

"So, what? We're supposed to just take your word for it? We're all supposed to just fall in line behind you after," Carter starts.

"After what?" Rick eyes him.

"After you wave a gun around screaming, pointing it at people.
After you shoot a man in the face.
- After you-- -" Carter gets cut off.

"Enough!" Deanna silences everyone.

"I'll do it." Heath nods his head.

"Me, too." The woman from construction says.

"Whatever you need, I'm in." Tobin says.

"Now who else?" Deanna ask everyone.

"I'll go. We have to do this. I need to help." Nicholas gives in.

"You sure you can handle it?" Rick asked.

"You need people." Nicholas says.

"We'll make this work. We'll keep this place safe. Keep our families safe. We will." Rick comforts us.

"The plan. Go through it again." Carter says.

"Man, he just said it." Daryl's voice grumbles. I could feel his chest rumble.

"Every part again. The exact plan." Carter says.

"Alright, than its settled. Harley, Deanna, Heath, Eugene, Michonne and Carter. You guys come on and lets talk about this." Rick tells us as we follow him.

"Marshall and Redding. We force them west here." Rick points out on the map.

"Big area." I commented.

"How?" Deanna ask.

"We block it off so they can only go one way, west, away from the community."

"Block it off with what?" Carter ask.

"Cars. We'll use the RVs, some of the bigger trucks, park them end to end." Rick says.

"We'll be drawing them away. They're gonna keep moving." Michonne says.

"Yeah, but that many? Just bouncing off some sedans? And then when they start slipping through and the ones that walk away start distracting the rest and you stop drawing them away?"

"Man's got a point." Heath says.

"We got plates. The big-ass metal ones from the construction site. We can use them to fortify the whip wall. It'd help disperse the force of impact and direct the walkers clean. Like a pool table. Eight ball, corner pocket." Eugene says.

"That's an army out there. And what happens when this doesn't hold? And they push on through. The curve in this hillside is gonna send them right back east. Right back here. You seriously want to risk that?" Carter says.

"No. So you need to help us to make it hold."

"These walls, you built them. So you've already done the impossible." Morgan comments.

"Carter. Please." Deanna pleads. Carter gives in.

Within a day half of Alexandria's people were out building up walls and getting the cars ready for the walkers. I was on tower duty.

"Deanna wants to talk to you. She is up stairs in the armory." Jay says as she walks up the the tower.

"I got watch." I tell her.

"She also sent me here to take your watch when you go to visit her." Jay walks up to me taking the sniper off my hands.

"Alright kiddo. Holler if you need anything." I climbed down the tower and head over to the armory. Eugene was grabbing food from the pantry.

"Hey." I walk up the stairs.

"Hi." He mumbles looking down.

When I got up stairs Deanna was sleeping on the bed. I didn't want to wake her up so I tiptoed out of the room shutting the door. So much for talking to her. All of a sudden I could hear glass shattering all over the floor down stairs. Then things started hitting the ground. Sounded like someone fell. I press my back against the wall.

"Hello." Eugene says. I creep down the stairs slowly.

"Carter." I could here Tobin's voice.

"He heard." Carter says. I sneak a glance and see Carter hovering over Eugene. Eugene was on the ground. A few of Alexandria's people were walking out from the armory.

"I didn't. I mean, I didn't-- -," Eugene stutters over his words.

"Carter." Tobin warns him.

"He heard." Carter repeats. He pulls out his gun and aims it at Eugene.

"Wanna try that again?" I reveal my self.

"You don't scare me." Carter says. I step down from the stairs and walk in front of Eugene. Carter holds the gun at my forehead.

"Carter, don't. You can't." Olivia says. The door opens wide showing Rick, Daryl and Morgan. Daryl looked angry. He was tense and wanted to pounce. Rick pushes Daryl behind him.

"What the hell is going on? What are you doing?" Rick asked.

"I'm taking this place back from you." Carter says.

"That's what you were talking about in here?" Rick looks at the rest of the Alexandria's. He walks forward.

"That's what he was talking about." Spencer says. I stayed still. The gun was still trained on me.

"See, I would have-- I would have set up some lookouts. That would have been the smart thing. You know, if I happened to," Rick shoves Carter against the wall and disarms him. Carter falls to the ground as Rick points the gun at him.

"You really think you're gonna take this community from us? From Glenn? From Michonne? From Harley? From Daryl? From me? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" Rick looks at him closely.

"It was just me." Carter mumbles.

"What?" Rick asked him again.

"It was-- it was just me. Just-- just kill me." Carter looks down at the ground.

"Rick." Daryl says as he tries to stop Rick. Even though Daryl wanted to beat Carter to the ground it was wrong to kill him. The others will become scared of Rick again.

"I'm good. I'm good. You can try to work with us. You can try to survive.
Would you do that?" Rick shoves the gun in his pocket.

"Eugene come on." I help him up as he walks out the door. Daryl grabs my hand as we head out of the pantry.

The next morning Rick and the rest of the people that will be apart of our huge plan head outside of Alexandria as we go over everything and where it is. We ride in separate cars. I rode on Daryl's bike finally.

"This isn't so bad." I smiled as I wrap my arms around his torso.

"First time?" He asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, I've never ridden one before." I say. Daryl revs up the engine speeding ahead. I had to grasp on to him as I felt myself fall back from the speed.

"Daryl Dixon." I hit his back as I heard him snicker. We pull up green.
