The Walking Dead: Season 5: Episode 1: Sacrifice

Scene 1: The Box Car

Darkness... so black the group cant even see their hands in front of their faces. All of a sudden, the boxcar door opens, sunlight blinding them and illuminating their faces.Two guards stand at the door, escorting a Young gentlemen holding numerous steaks wrapped up in a towel. Maggie steps up.

"You have to let us out of here." she said. "I already told you people, Gareth wants you guys built up for the event." a guard grunted. They all looked at each other, skeptic. "What event?" asked Abraham. "THE event." replied the guard. "Now, you've all had three days to get beefed up, you're gonna have to be ready, or else you will die." He throws the food at them, and it spills out all over, the guard than pulls the door shut, just as Glenn lunges at a piece, a fork of sunlight shines through the crack of the door of the boxcar, giving them a little light.

Glenn then begins to put the piece of meat into his mouth, but Rick stops him. "Glenn, what the hell are you doing?!?" Rick said, tearing the piece of meat out of Glenn's hand, and throwing it aside. "Rick we haven't eaten in days." said Glenn. "Do you not see what these people are doing?!?" said Rick, "They're promising people sanctuary, and when people arrive, they strip them of their possessions, and stuff them in boxcars! These people could possibly be cannibals, or that meat could be poisoned, we don't know. Now, are you sure you want to be eating that?" "No, it's just I'm so hungry." said Glenn. "We all are, but that ain't gonna mean anything if we're dead." said Daryl. All of a sudden, Maggie collapses against the wall, sobbing.

Glenn is at her side instantly. "Maggie, what's wrong?" he says, putting an arm around her shoulder. "W-w-what if they have Beth?" she sobbed. "If they do, we'll get her." Daryl reassured her, "My fault anyway." "No it isn't." said Rick. "Yeah it is." "No it isn't." said Rick. "What if they d-d-did something to her?" Maggie sobbed. "Then that will be the last thing they ever do, I promise you that." Rick said, kneeling down and putting a hand on her shoulder. Just then, the boxcar door opens, and a guard looks at them. "Time to go." he said. As two armed guards escort them out of the boxcar, there is a man standing outside of Terminus, watching them be taken away. The man has a rifle on his back, and seems to be thinking. He turns his head and it's Morgan.
