"SO I MET THIS Governor, sat with him for quite a while. He wants the prison, he wants us gone. Dead. He wants us dead for what we did to Woodbury. We're going to war." Rick told the group, as they all sat down inside of the cell block.
Everybody filtered out after that, back to their cells and off to the courtyard. Nobody wanted to go to war and nobody wanted to shed any blood. The people in Woodbury were being lied to and manipulated. And now the governor was going to march them into a war zone because of it.
Ophelia didn't necessarily want to go to war, or fight with the people of Woodbury, especially when her brother was going to be on the other side. But, she wanted the governor to pay for everything that he'd done to Griffin, Maggie, Glenn and everybody. He didn't deserve to keep walking around like he was a King.
Ophelia made her way into the courtyard — she wanted some time to herself after what Andrea had told her — until she came across Rick and Daryl talking in the courtyard. And she couldn't help but overhear their conversation as she walked past them.
"He gave me a choice, a way out." She heard Rick say. "He wants Michonne."
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Daryl asked, somewhat surprised.
"Because he'll kill her and then he'll kill us anyway." He replied bluntly.
"Then why are you tellin' me?"
"Because I'm hoping you'll talk me out of it."
"Rick, you can't!" Ophelia cut in, approaching them. Both Daryl and Rick looked at her in surprise.
"How long have you been there?" Rick asked.
"Long enough to know that The Governor wants Michonne and you're actually considering it."
"Listen, Ophelia. I don't wanna do it. I don't. But, if we hand her over to the Governor, it might save everyone lives." Rick tried to say — but he didn't want to do that, and Daryl and Ophelia could tell.
"Except hers." Ophelia said quietly.
Rick paused. "I know."
"You're a good man, Rick. One of the best. And you know that Michonne is good too. She led you to me, and Maggie and Glenn. She saved us. And if she hadn't of found you, the three of us would be dead. We owe her, Rick." Ophelia said softly. "And Michonne took they Governors eye out. I dread to think off all the...unspeakable things he'd do to her given the chance. We can't inflict that pain on someone."
