Fight To Live

(OLD) Chapter 2: Ruins (OLD)

Sorry! I meant to post this last night but I fell asleep! Please forgive me!

Everything that has happened through the mid season finale of season 8 has happened, except nobody from Team Family, Carl included, got bit, Alexandria hasn't been destroyed by Negan and the Saviors, and Shiva didn't die. But now everything from this point on is my own and I will not be following the show whatsoever. I hope you enjoy.

Carl's POV

"You fought back! You all rebelled against me! That shit will not fly!" Negan shouted from the courtyard of Alexandria, where he and his army had managed to gather up most of our people, from Hilltop, Kingdom, and Alexandria and forced them on their knees.

Carol, Enid and I were the only ones that weren't captured, we were hiding in a building next to the courtyard and listening.

"Carol, we have to do something! He's gonna kill my dad! He's gonna kill everyone!" I whisper shouted to the short-haired woman next to me.

"Carl, if we go out there now, without a plan, he'll just capture us to and we'll die with all of them. There will be no way to save them if we do that. Negan loves to talk, let's let him do that while we make a plan." She responded as she grabbed my shoulder.

I looked down at the ground and then glared at Negan with my one eye as he talked to my dad, who was in the front row of kneeling people.

"Carl, please, I already lost my parents, I already lost my boyfriend, I can't lose my best friend as well." Enid said as she looked at me, worry etched on her face. "Let's make a plan and then save them without having as much risk of us getting hurt or killed." She continued.

I sighed and nodded in agreement because I knew they were right, if we didn't make a plan to save everyone, none of us would survive.

"Ok, let's see. There are Saviors all over, they crashed in through the gate and moved everyone to the courtyard, we were unfortunate enough to have the Kingdom and Hilltop here when Negan arrived. But that is also an advantage for us, Shiva is here, we can let her loose and then surprise attack the Saviors, give our people a chance to use the attack to join us in fighting them back. We could end this war right here, right now." I said as I grabbed an assault rifle we had with us, as well as my Beretta and a knife. I holstered the Beretta at my thigh and sheathed the knife at my side, then made sure that the assault rifle was loaded. It was fully loaded and we had some extra magazines, which I grabbed and stuffed in my pockets.

"Let's go." I said as I walked out of the room and towards where we had been keeping Shiva's cage since King Ezekiel and the Kingdom arrived.

Enid and Carol followed me with weapons of their own and we snuck to the room where Shiva was. I looked through a window into the room and saw two Saviors in the room with her. I hung the assault rifle on my shoulder and pulled my Beretta, which had a silencer on it, out of its holster and got myself ready to kill the two men once I opened the door. I kicked the door open and the Saviors began to turn towards me but not before I had already aimed and pulled the trigger two times, they both collapsed to the ground as the finished turning around.

"Good job. Enid, grab their weapons and anything else they might have on them. Carl, make sure there are no other Saviors around. I'll get Shiva." Carol said as she picked up a chain that was on a table in the room.
