Episode 2
---------------
It's been 2 weeks since I arrived at Alexandria.I woke up,not wanting to lift myself from my bed because of how comfy it was. I turned my body and shut my eyes again.
"Ariana! get your lazy ass up!" I heard Abraham shout.

Abraham,daryl,rick,Sasha and Glenn were going out to lead some walkers away. After I changed I decided to walk around Alexandria, I saw carol and some other people talking and carrying food.they saw me and I smiled to them "morning" I said and they said it back.i carried on walking but when I crossed Jessie's house I could hear shouting and people arguing.

I decided to ignore it.i kept walking when I saw Maggie and Deana I walking over to them "We got some panels to put up, but we don't have to wait to start growing things.There will be some sore backs and tired feet.That's how you know you've put in a hard day's work.They found crates of these at a nursery just a few miles out.
Tomatoes, carrots, you name it.We can plant them right here.Just need to finish the expansion and the wall needs to go up.Reg wanted this community to grow.so did you"Maggie said passing some seeds to Deana. "I think that a great idea Maggie" I said and she smiled to me.
"Has that changed? Everyone that's here is here because of you" Maggie said looking at Deana "You need to show them you're still here."Maggie said while she gave Deana the spade.i felt sorry for Deana.I heard that she lots her husband ,and it was Jessie's husband that killed him.i said good-bye and started to walk around the neighbourhood.I saw carl with Judith in a stroller,he stopped when he saw Enid and Ron kiss but was then interrupted by father Gabriel. "Carl?" Father Gabriel said.
"What?" Carl replied back harshly.
"You heard what I told Deanna about your group."
"What do you want?" still sounding annoyed.
"it was about me not you're group.I know that now .I want to help.You tried to teach me back at my church.But I'm ready to learn now"
"I think you need to tell everybody" Carl said.
Father Gabriel smiled "yeah I think your right"
"Come by around 3 we will start with the machete"he smiled and walked away.i walked over to carl. "Oh hey Ariana,I didn't see you" I laughed and bent down to play with Judith.
"could I help you with father Gabriel later?" he smiled.
"of course you can"

I stopped in my tracks when I heard screams.i looked around and saw Maggie and Deana, I ran over to them. "Richard what's is going on here?"Deana shouted at the man who was keeping guard, before he could reply,he was set on fire.i opened my eyes widely at what I just witnessed. Smoke appeared everywhere."lets go!" Maggie ran off,Deane stood still so I grabbed her and pulled her with me.Due to all the smoke. I couldn't see where I was going.i ran to the closet house I could see. the door was locked."shit" I said to myself. I found a window and climbed through. I grabbed my gun from my back pocket and kept alert of my surroundings.i heard people talking in the next room I looked through the gap in the door and saw carl and Enid sitting back to back.i opened the door "where is everyone?"I said.they both looked at me, Enid rolled her eyes while carl came over and guided me to sit on the floor.i stopped him.
"I can't stay I have to go and find everyone"
I said.
"You aren't going anywhere"he looked in my eyes. I nodded.
"Where's Ron?" Enid looked at carl.
"I don't know why do you care"he gave her sass.
"I don't" I felt awkward sitting between them while they were arguing.without them noticing I snuck out I went to the front of the gate but a hand stopped me,I screamed.
"shh" I turned around to see carol.she wore a large black coat and a w was on her forehead.she gave me a black coat." Put this on and put a w on you're forehead" she pointed at the blood where the dead man. I just nodded and did what she said.Morgan came from behind carol."were going to the armoury and I need both of you to help" she said.we started walking down the road I stopped when I saw Ron out of breath behind a tree. Someone getting ready to run after him.i ran behind them and shot the man in the head. Carl and Enid came out the house.they looked at me surprised with what i had just done.
"Go inside.i can keep you safe" carl said. Ron looked at Enid then back to carl,suspense started to build.
"No" he said marching off. Me and carl looked at him as he walked off. I followed him.but carl grabbed my wrist.
"Come with me.i don't want to see you get hurt" he said
"I don't need protecting" I said anger was filled in my voice as I ran off. I looked at carol and she had Morgan chained up behind him.
"where did you go?"carol looked at me.
"Ron was getting chased, I shot the man down".
Morgan saw one of the villagers get shot.
"come on we have to go" I said, he ignored me and went over to help. Me and carol saw two women which were part of the gang. I shot the first one, but the other followed carol down to the armoury. I quietly lurked behind her and stabbed her in the neck when I saw she attacked carol."you ok?" I asked.
"yeah I'm fine" Carol heard a whimper come from the wardrobe, but when she opened it was only Olivia.
"Is anyone else down here?"
"No I-I'm the only o-one"Olivia stuttered.
Carol grabbed a bag and started to pack guns.
"Come here.now" carol shouted at Olivia.
"You barricade that door behind me once I leave.Do you know how to shoot a gun?" Olivia said no.
"Stand here
Finger here
Aim here.
One of them comes through that door, you squeeze and you don't stop till they're on the ground." Me and carol shut the door on the way out,we walked out of the house and saw Morgan and father Gabriel tying someone's hands together.carol walked up to him and shot him right between the eyes.she gave them both guns and we ran forward trying to find other people,Maggie stood on the side of the road.
"Carol ? Ariana?" We give her a gun.we leave Maggie and see a man ,I shoot him.we see the 'wolves' that's what they call them selves leave Alexandria. Carol and me sit down by a house,She gets a cigarette out of a packet and lights it.
"You did good today Ariana" she said. I smile slightly.
"Thank you"Carol become upset and I could tell that she was on the edge of crying I give her a hug.she needed it.
I look around.dead bodies and blood were splattered all around the floor. I look at my hands that are covered in dry blood and feel disgusted in my self.i wonder if Carl's okay?
