"You honestly expect me to kiss you after you killed at least twenty walkers?"
"Yes?"
"You're something else, Prise."
"But that's why you love me, Di...

Alexandria was gone. Deanna was climbing up a ladder to see the newly built wall as she searched over the other side of the wall for walkers and her eyes caught a plaque that held R. Monroe. She ran her thumb over the name and smiled sadly. Taking a deep breath she looked back over her home. "The town was overrun. He split off with Nicolas. He had this idea that... if he lit a fire, it would stop the walkers from coming here. I tried to go instead. I wanted to. The fire never got lit. We had to keep going. I'm sorry." Michonne told Maggie and Rosita as Maggie held a hand over her mouth as she cried. "He said if he got stuck, he would find a way to send us a signal." She stated.
"A signal?" Maggie asked.
"Open the gate!" Rick yelled from the other side. "Open the gate!" He kept yelling and walkers growled lowly as Deanna's eyes widened.
Rick was holding Natalie's body while he ran down the street and hundreds of walkers were after him.
"Open the gate now!" He yelled angrily and the gate opened while Rick pushed the walkers out and he rushed inside as Natalie fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Is she okay?"
"What happened?"
Many asked and Rick shook his head while pulling up her sleeve and showed off her bite marks that had started bleeding heavily. "S-she's having her fever." He stuttered out while Maggie's eyes widened.

Natalie was mumbled incoherent words while her eyes darted all over the room. "Tilly, I need to see Tilly." She breathed out and Maggie's eyes watered at the name.
They all looked over the walls and Maggie placed a cool wash cloth over her head. "You can hear it. Some of you saw it. They got back here, half of them. Still enough to surround us twenty deep. Look, I know you're scared. You haven't seen anything like this. You haven't been through anything like this. But we're safe for now. The panel the truck hitch seems intact. We reinforce it just in case. Either way, the walls gonna hold together. Can you? The others, they're gonna be back." Rick told them while Rosita sighed and shifted in her spot.
"They're gonna be back." She repeated and Natalie felt her heart flutter.
"Daryl, Abraham, Sasha, they have vehicles. They're gonna lead them away, just like the others. And Glenn and Nicholas are gonna walk back through the front gate after. They know what they're doing, and we know what we need to do. We keep noise to a minimum. Pull our blinds at night. Even better, keep the lights out. We'll try to make this place as quiet as a graveyard, see if they move on." Rick stated.
