Lexi's POV
(Okay so I skipped a few episodes but still on track )

Tara had told us about this place she found herself at before she came back here. The "Oceanside". Sounds pretty legit since they are right next to the ocean. Turns out that she remembers where this place is and is willing to take us there; breaking her promise in this decision.

I sat in the bedroom, looking at my beautiful daughter sleeping in her crib. I got up and changed into a black tank top and some jeans. I put my combat boots back on and put my hair in a tight ponytail. Carl walked in and sighed, giving me the gesture we were about to leave. I picked up Andi, grabbed her bag and walked out. I followed my familiar path to Mary's house and knocked on her door. I can't believe that everything Alexandria has been through that this amazing couple is still alive. She smiled as she answered the door and opened her arms.

"Where to his time dear. And how long will you be gone?" She asked as she took Andi into her arms and the bag with her.

"The Oceanside. And hours. A day to the most. I'm not for sure how far it is." I said and she nodded. Carl walked up behind me and I kissed Andis head, as did he. I smiled and nodded at Mary, walking to the vehicles. My hand made its way to my side and I let out a long breath as I felt my knife was in place. Rick walked over to me and handed me and Carl machine guns. The cold metal felt good against my sweaty palms, but I knew this metal was used to kill. I haven't got used to killing, and I don't think I ever will.

I followed Carl to the car Rick and Michonne would be riding in and we got in the back seat. I slid the gun next to my leg and Carl placed his hand in mine, giving me a reassuring squeeze. I closed my eyes and leaned my head on his shoulder, as the cars started moving.

I was shaken awake and looked out the window. The wind was slightly blowing and the sun was peeking through the canopy of trees ahead of us.

"A couple miles the other woods. We can walk on the beach but it's possible they would see us. " Tara said and Rick nodded.

"Carl and Lexi, walk along the tree line on the beach. The rest spread out in a long in the trees. Always keep someone in sight. If you have to, shoot. If not use a knife for if they are alive, take the weapon and bring them to me. " Rick said and we all nodded our heads.

Me and Carl walked to the sand and started making our way. The water crashing onto the sand was a sight I haven't seen in years. It was amazingly beautiful, just like Carl's eyes. I felt Carl's eyes on me and I looked at him, into his beautiful blue eyes.

"What?" I asked. He smiled and looked down.

"Just thinking about you. Swimming with you would be nice right now. If we weren't in a life or death situation. " he said and I laughed a little. He leaned down and placed his soft lips on mine. It was a short sweet kiss, but I won't ever get tired of those. As his lips left mine a smile was planted on my face. Even if this was my last day alive, at least I was happy.

We came up to the people's part and Rick gave us the signal to lay low. Michonne climbed up in a tree and Rick sent Tara in. We bent down and made our way to Rick, waiting for Tara to give us the signal. Rosita and a few others were setting up bombs in various spots all around the camp. When the bells go off, they go off. That gives Tara about five minutes to try and convince the leader to fight.

One minute left and my anxiety level was about a seven. I tapped my finger on the gun and hummed to myself to try and keep myself calm. Then that's when I heard it. The sound of bells ring through the air then I pulled my hands up to fever my ears. Small bombs went off and I gritted my teeth.

"Move in!" Rick shouted and I followed behind Carl. We were on the edge of the camp, about to wonder when you hear a battle cry. I look to my right and I was tackled to the ground. My gun went flying to my right as the woman punched my face. I pushed her off of me and she slammed into a tree. Carl stood there in shock, not knowing what to do. But what he does know is that I can fight for myself.

The girl got back up and threw a punch that I rejected. I kicked my foot up and it came in contact with her side. She limped sideways but soon regained stand. She came charging at me again but Carl threw me his gun and I used the butt of it and slammed it against her forehead. She fell to the ground with a thud. Still conscious she groaned loud. Carl got a zip tie from his pack and tied her arms behind her back. I handed him his gun back and retrieved mike from the ground. I felt proud that I won that fight. But sadly I know it won't be the last fight I will be in.

I grabbed the woman but he arms and walked her into her own camp. All the women was on their knees and I put her done with them. Rick nodded at me and I let out a sigh.

"If you give us all your guns, you will get them back. After we win the fight against the saviors." Rick said. The leader of the women shoot her head.

"There is no winning. You all will die. But not using our weapons. And we will not fight. " she said. A girl around my age was standing behind her. She looked at me and I gave her a sympathetic smile. She sent one back and she looked at the woman.

"Come on we-" she tied to speak.

"No! I will not send you out to fight-" before she could finish the girl punched the woman in the face and she felt to the ground. Oh shit.

I tuned everyone out as I heard growls. I turned my attention to the small herd of walkers and Rick shouted everyone to get in position. Some of the women got in position with us.

All I head is gunshots of my own and others. The impact of the gun was barely noticeable, yet it still made my shoulder feel numb. As we slowly killed off all the walkers. Rick made his point and we took all their guns and ammo. I hate taking stuff from other people. But this, this is life or death. And we are going to win.
