"Stop here." Michonne said. She opened the door and climbed from the car. "We go on foot from here."

"This better not be a trap." Rick growled.

"It isn't." Michonne shook her head.

We walked into the woods and made our way further up. Up ahead there was a car and a wall. We hid behind the car looking at the wall to see what we could see.

"Follow me." Michonne whispered. "Stay low."

We followed her through bushes, staying idden and moving slow so the people on the wall couldn't hear us or see us. She took us around a building and through a window. Looks like a storage unit with food and other things.

Rick peaked through the window on the street. There was people still outside walking around and chatting. But they were walking towards other buildings, probably their homes.

"Hey" a man outside shouted walking towards the building.

The doorknob started rattling and the sound of keys hitting the door followed. We took off to the back to hide. The door swung open and an older man walked through. "I know you're in here, I saw you through the window. You know you're not suppose to be in here."

He got a little closer and Rick knocked him over. We tied him up and stuffed something in his mouth before knocking him out.

Daryl stuck his head out the door and nodded for us to move out. We were lost in this town until a gunshot rang from further back.

I jumped on a roof away from the others. I jumped from roof to roof until I pinpointed the shots. I saw men with guns running inside another building with guns.

I jumped to the ground just as the others came charging through. "Their in there." I pointed to the building.

We snuck inside and heard people talking. When we heard their footsteps coming from inside Daryl and Rick threw smoke grenades and flash bangs. While the men were shooting at nothing we snuck in and grabbed Glenn and Maggie and took off back towards the gate to leave.

People were aware we were here so shots were being fired towards us. We dipped into another building getting more grenades out.

"Daryl." Glenn muttered. "This was Merle."

I looked at Daryl. "Merle? Your brother?"

"Yea." He nodded. "Where is he?" Daryl asked. "I gotta go find him."

"No." Rick stopped him. "We can't risk losing you."

"Where'd that woman go?" Maggie asked.

"She was right behind us." Rick looked out the window."

"Shouldn't one of us go look for her?" Maggie looked at everyone.

"No." Rick shook his head. "She's on her own."

Rick and Daryl threw out a few smoke grenades and started firing. We made our way back to the gate. Oscar, the prisoner jumped on top of a bus and helped Glenn over then he got shot.

"Rick!" Maggie screamed. "We gotta go!"

"Go Rick." I pushed him. "I'll cover you until you're out."

He ran to the gate and helped Maggie over then jumped over himself. I back away then jumped over too.

We ran back behind the car and hid. "Where's Daryl?" Maggie whispered.

"Oh god." Rick groaned. "Let's just give him a minute."

Michonne crawled around the car and sat down.

"Where were you?" Rick growled. "Where's Daryl?"

Michonne raised her hands. "You can't kill me. Either way you need me."

"Rick!" I growled. "Leave her be."

"Fine." He growled. "Help Glenn back to the car. Allison? Me, you and Maggie are going back in."

"You got it." I nodded. "You up for it Maggie?"

"Yea. I'm good." She nodded.

Michonne took Glenn and went towards the way we came back to the car. Me, Rick and Maggie went back inside the gates following the sound of people shouting.

Just beside the place they held Glenn and Maggie was an arena. It looked like they were forcing Daryl and his brother to fight. This can't be good.

"I can draw their attention. Give them time to get away." I whispered.

"How?" Maggie asked.

"I have an idea." I pointed to the roof.

They nodded and I ran through the darkness so no one would see me and jumped up to the roof.

I stood at the edge and kneeled down. "Hey!" I shouted.

Everyone stopped what they were doing looking for the sound.

"You can't see me. But I see you." I laughed. " eat you can't guess where I am."

"I don't need to guess." A man shouted. He had a piece of gauze over his eye. "All I have to do is shoot in every direction until it hits you." While he was talking I jumped to a different roof.

"Good luck with that." I shouted. I got up and jumped again. "I'm everywhere."

Rick and Maggie threw another smoke grenade and everyone started shooting. I jumped from the roof and landed in front of Daryl. "Let's go." I growled.

We ran toward Rick and Maggie and took off. I stopped and looked back at the man with the patch and smirked then ran after the others.

We got out of the gates and ran back to the car through the woods. The sun was up now. Glenn was resting by the car while Michonne stood guard.

Everyone seemed to want to kill Merle. I can't really blame them. Daryl tried talking Rick into letting Merle come back with us but he wouldn't allow him to.

"No merle no me." Daryl scoffed. "He's my brother, it'll always be him."

"What about Carol?" Rick asked.

"What about her?" Daryl shrugged. "She will understand."

I didn't know he cared so much for Carol. I didn't say anything so I just walked away. It's stupid to think you have someone who cares about you, especially in this world.

I climbed into the car and shut the world outside out. I didn't wanna listen to anymore arguing over stupid shit, let alone Carol. I liked her, but she seems to have all Daryls attention.

I watched as Daryl left with his brother, then we all drove off back to the prison.
