"Handguns will be a little better for your first go.
Magazine release.
Slide release.
Thumb safety"Rick said.
"That stuffs easy"carl says looking at Ron
Rick goes over to Ron and shows him the gun.
"Empty magazine.
Empty chamber 
See it?"
"Yeah" Ron says
"Someone's in front of you, they have a gun.
You're gonna be scared.
You will be.Your body's gonna tense, you won't have time to think.
You're just gonna want to pull the trigger when they get in front of you" the gun clicks "But you'll miss and you'll be dead.
You have to get it up to your eye.
You've got to be strong enough to wait for your moment"
"Can I?" Ron ask pointing at the gun. He passes it to him.Ron lifts the gun up and puts his finger on the trigger.rick takes his finger off.
"Hey, your finger doesn't touch the trigger until you're ready to shoot" he waits for a second then shoots the gun.
"Keep that one with you.
Get a feel of what it's like to carry a gun around with you."rick says looking at the gun.
"Can I shoot it? Maybe like down at the walkers?"I rolled my eyes at the stupid question Ron asked.
"No, with things how they are, the walls are strong, but we're lucky the walkers are spread out.We don't want to pull them all to one spot."
"Well, what about, like, target practice in the center of town? 'Cause then the sound will spread out in each direction.Or maybe we could use, like, silencers or something like that.
But, uh I mean, we probably don't want to waste bullets right now, huh? Just want to learn more." Ron asks
"And you will" carl says looking at him.
We all left the lesson and I decided to see carol.
We talked for an hour and she baked some cookies. We were interrupted by rick ,he wanted a meeting with michonne,Morgan,me and carol. We all sat down at the table.
"When I was coming back.I tried to cut off the herd with the RV.
Lead the walkers away.
But five of those people with the Ws in their foreheads, they stopped me.They tried to kill me, shot up the RV.now carol says she saw you and That you would not kill any of those people.Did you let any of them go?"rick asked Morgan.
"Yes yes I did.I didn't want to kill five people I didn't have to kill" I felt like slapping him.how could he let them go when they killed so many of our people.
"They burned people alive" rick said.
"Why didn't you kill me, Rick, back in King County? Pulled a knife out on you.i stabbed you.so why didn't you kill me? Was it 'cause I saved you after the hospital?"
"Cause I knew who you were." Rick said pointing at him.
"Back there I would have killed you as soon as I looked at you And I tried." Morgan says."But you, you let me live and then I was there to help Aaron and Daryl.
See, if I-- if I wasn't there if they died maybe those wolves wouldn't have been able to come back here.I don't know what's right anymore.
Cause I did want to kill those men.I seen what they did, what they keep doing.I knew I could end it.But I also know that people can change.Cause everyone sitting here has.All life is precious.
And that idea..that idea changed me,It brought me back and it keeps me living"
"I just don't think it can be that easy" I say.
"Its not easy" Morgan says looking at me.
"I wasn't sayin-" he cut me off.
"I-I know.And I've thought about letting that idea go.
But I don't want to"
"You may have to" giving Morgan sass"Things aren't as simple as four words,I don't think they ever were."
"Do you think I don't belong here?"Morgan asks me I was about to answer but rick talks.
" Making it now, do you really think you can do that without getting blood on your hands?"
"I don't know." He simply says.
We all walk off, I follow rick and michonne out side and we talk about what to do next "if we can somehow get outside the walls, get back to our cars at the quarry, we could use them to draw the away.we'll set up more watch points.
Coordinate the shooting of guns and flares so we could pull them out in even directions.
We'd need to get all our people on it.carl,Tara,Rosita,carol and you, Ariana."I smile feeling happy that I'm part of there group.
"What about everyone else?" Michonne asks rick.
"Well, lets just keep this to our own for now"
"Really?" She asks annoyed.
"Look, if we had the time to bring the people along, sure."
I hear footsteps come closer and see Deana with a large piece of paper."What's that?" I ask "Plans for the expansion." Is she being serious right now? There's a massive heard of walkers out side and she's planning an expansion. I bite my lip and look at rick and michonne.
"We got a few other things on our plate right now" rick says.
"I know"she sighs"These are for what Alexandria can be after this.Because one way or another, there's gonna be an after this"she smiles and then walks off.i leave and go to sit on the grass by my house. I wonder where Enid is? I knew she went over the gate but where? why?. I looked up when I saw spencer climbing a zip wire over the wires. I ran over. Rick,tara and Eugene where looking at him. I stood up and ran over.
"Spencer what are you doing?!" The zip wire broke and he fell on the walkers.i quickly climbed over the fence and started shooting the walkers.spencer started to climb the rope that rick let down.i had no more bullets left.
"Shit" i whispered to my self.
"Come on" Michonne held a hand out and pulled me up.
"Ariana! you almost died!" Rick shouted at me.
I arched my eyebrows."what?!
"What the hell were you doing?!"
I flagged him off.
It's been 2 hours after what happened and I was on my way to get a water bottle ,but rick shouted my name.
"Ariana!" I stoped and turned around rolling my eyes."Look, I'm sorry about before..I was just...He was stupid." He said
"That we know" I said biting my lip.
"I just meant what you did for him, you didn't have to"
"I know"I said with sass.
"You could have died"
"I mean, I'd like to say I was thinking about it, but I wasn't." I looked down.
"Is that why you did it? You weren't thinking about it?"
"No that's how it works with us. We're stuck with each other"
Deana came over.
"Rick,thank you" she said. He looked down and points to me
"thank Ariana" I smiled and she thanked me. I walked away. As I was walking I bumped into someone. "Ariana,omg your okay?!?" He hugged me. I could tell it was carl.
"I'm guessing you heard what happened" I said
"Yeah,don't do that again"
"Carl,you can't tell me what to do.It's not like we're together" he must think I'm a bitch I'm being so mean to him.
"Ok,anyway I just wanted to check you were okay.bye" he walked past me.
"Carl.."I said quietly.ugh I'm pushing everyone away.i looked at Rosita and saw her point up to the sky. It was balloons. This must mean Glenn's out there. He said he would give a sign if he was still alive. I smiled, and looked at carl who was looking at me. He walked next to me.
"Glenn's alive" I said
"I know"
The happy moment was interrupted when the guard tower started to collapse. Carl grabbed my hand and pulled me with him.
