AMBER | Daryl Dixon

Where Will You Be?

Jackson's POV

I scanned the woods from left to right, holding my flashlight high. Hearing a snap of a twig to my left, I flipped around and flashed my light in the face of a walker. Quickly pulling my knife out, I approuched the walker and impailed the knife into it's skull. As I withdrew the knife, I heard another growl behind me. Turning around with a full swing, I aimed my knife for the walkers head, killing it instantly. Pulling my knife out, I let out a huff as I continued on looking around. Before I could take another step into the forest, something grabbed the back of my colar, pulling me back.

"Calm, calm. It's Rick. Where's Sasha?" He asked as he pulled me in to his chest. Letting out a sigh, I nodded in front of us.

"She's just up ahead." I said as I turned around to face him just in time to spot Tyrese walk past us.

"Did you find them?" Rick asked, I just shook my head.

"No." I replied while Rick just sighed.

"Come on." Was all he said as we followed Tyrese.

"Tyrese." Said Sasha as Tyrese released her from his hold.

"He's getting away." She said out of breath.

"Who?" Both Rick and I asked in unison.

"Somebody was watching us." She stated as I stood up straight and watched for movement in front of us.

"If we go in there now, some of us aren't coming back." Said Tyrese as he stared into the forest in the distance.

"Bob is out there somewhere. Scared, alone." Sasha declared.

"Maybe he's not alone." I said, earning a questionable look to wash over Sasha's face.

"He's not alone. Daryl, Carol and Amber are missing too." Said Rick as Sasha turned to look at him in disbelief.

"That son of a bitch." Was all she said as we all stormed back to the church. With Sasha entering in first, I walked in with caution.

"Stop." Said Sasha as she walked up to Father Garbiel.

"What are you doing?" She asked, earning a confused look to spread across Father Gabriel's face. She stepped closer to him and spoke.

"What are you doing?" She said sternly as she began to raise her hand.

"This is all connected. You show up, we're being watched, and now four of us are gone." Gabriel looked around in worry. I turned around to find Carl at his feet, staring at us, fists in a ball.

"I- I don't- I don't have anything to do with this."Gabriel stated in panic as he slowly stepped away from Sasha. I looked back at Carl as he stared at me in worry. Without even speaking, we both knew exactly what eachother was thinking.

"Where is Amber?"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a knife being pulled out of it's holster. Then, through my peripheral, I see Tyrese reach out towards Sasha followed by Rosita shouting.

"Don't!" I quickly turned and looked to see Sasha with a knife in her hand, slowly approaching a scared Gabriel. My eyes widened as I too quickly approuched her.

"Sasha, put it away." Tyrese declared.

"Sasha, put it away. We shouldn't rush into thi-" My sentence was cut short when Sasha spoke.

"Who's out there?"

"I don't know, I don't have-"

"Where are our people?" Sasha mumbled, cutting Gabriel off.
