(Her outfit)

It had been 2 weeks since the warehouse incident.

Not much had been happening, except for the newfound alliance with the Kingdom.

All three groups were joining forces to take on the Saviors.

The Kingdom, Alexandria and The Hilltop.

But I still couldn't see how they would prevail. There just wasn't enough man or gun power, even combined.

And within that last week, The Saviors have come looking for me, and Daryl.

I could only imagine what would happen to Daryl. But I knew I would be taken back to Negan.

I couldn't have that. I couldn't risk it.

So I was leaving today.

I looked off over the compound, watching people as I usually did.

I felt my chest ache.

Everyone knew I was planning on leaving today, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

I had gotten attached to some of these people. Most of them actually. And it hurt to leave

I knew I should've left the very first day. I knew attachments would only hurt me.

My eyes landed on one specific person as he walked back in the gates with a string of squirrels slung over his shoulder

I was smiling before I could stop myself.

This was going to hurt

So

So

Bad

"Hey" a voice said from behind.

I looked over my shoulder at Maggie who was smiling as she took a seat next to me on the steps and handed me a large bag of dried rabbit meat.

I smiled as I took it and looked over at her.

"I figured you might need it when you leave..." She said.

I smiled and played with the ends of my hair "You know...I've had about 12 people giving me food all day...you make the 13th" I said.

The people here were so caring I could hardly understand it really.

Didn't they fear caring because of how easily you could be ripped away?

I looked back at Daryl who was walking up the hill towards Rick by the cattle.

Maggie giggled "You know... You could stay" she said softly to me.

I shook my head "I can't...I can't be this close to him....I can't risk him finding me and taking me away again...because this time I would have a price to pay...and I would be under lock and keep... There would be no escaping a second time, Negan would make sure of that" I said
