"What have you told them?" Andrea asked Michonne angrily.
"Nothing," Michonne answered calmly.
"I don't get it, I left Atlanta with you people and now I'm the odd man out?" Andrea asked.
"He almost killed Michonne, and he would've killed us," Glenn stated, he clearly hated Andrea.
"With his finger on the trigger! Isn't he the one that kidnapped you, who beat you?" Andrea asked pointing at Merle. Nobody replied and she softened her voice.
"Look I cannot excuse or explain what Philip has done, but I am here trying to bring us together. We have to work this out," Andrea stated.
"There's nothing to work out, we're gonna kill him," Rick stated, "I don't know how or when, but we're gonna kill him."
"W-We can settle this," Andrea said, "There is room at Woodbury for all of you!"
"You know better than that," Merle chuckled. Daryl stood closely to me.
"What makes you think he wants to negotiate? Did he say that?" Hershel asked.
"No," Andrea said softly.
"Then why did you come here?" Rick demanded.
"He's gearing up for war," Andrea said softly, "The people are terrified, they see you as killers. They're training to attack.
"Next time you see Philip tell him imma take his other eye," Daryl said threateningly.
"We've taken too much shit for too long. He wants a war he's got one," Glenn snarled.
"Rick, if you don't sit down and try to work this out, I don't know what's gonna happen," Andrea said trying to convince him, "He has a whole town. Look at you. You've lost so much already, you can't stand alone anymore."
"You want to make this right? Get us inside," Rick said.
"No," She answered quickly.
"Then we got nothin to talk about," He spoke calmly and walked away.
"There are innocent people!" She pleaded.
"We got kids, a baby, we have innocent people too," I snarled at her. Daryl and I walked into the cell block. Katie and Carl played a board game with Mason.
"Listen, Bella, I-" He started, "I got you somethin..."
I turned to face him, he pulled a necklace from his pocket. A small white diamond hung on the chain, it was beautiful.
"Daryl I- thank you," I said softly, a smile made its way on my face.
"Turn around," He commanded softly, I did and lifted my hair out of the way as he hooked it around my neck. I had his necklace and a locket from Katie around my neck.
"It's beautiful," I said.
"I thought so too, but it didn't look near as good on me," He chuckled. I playfully punched him. Andrea went to go meet the baby. Carl decided to name her Judith, though Daryl still calls her Ass-Kicker. Then Andrea left, we let her take a car.
*
Nighttime rolled around, I was sitting on the ground holding Judith, Katie laying on the ground using my thigh as a pillow. Daryl stood beside me. The group was all downstairs. Beth began singing. Tanner and Carol were sitting beside each other, he wrapped his arm around her and she smiled at him.
"They hung a sign up in our town. "
"If you live it up you won't live it down."
She sang.
