Allison (rewritten)

Aaron

I seen a curly brown head walking towards Maggie and Sasha sitting on the log.

"Excuse me?" The man said raising his hands in the air. "I need to speak to Rick."

Maggie and Sasha grabbed their guns and held them up at the man standing in front of them. I jumped down in front of the man.

"Allison, right?" The man said still raising his hands. "I just need to speak to Rick."

"How do you know our names?"

"I'm out searching for people to bring home. And we have been watching you..." I knocked him the head at that knocking him out.

"I'll bring him to Rick." I nodded to the girls.

I drug the man through the doors and dropped him in front of Rick. "He's been watching us."

"Who is he?" Rick looked down at the man then back at me. "He didn't say his name. But he knew yours and mine."

"Tie him up." Rick muttered.

I nodded and grabbed some rope hanging on the barn wall. Daryl held the guy up while I wrapped the rope around his arms and chest.

"How hard did you hit him?" Daryl chuckled pointing to his forehead. He had a knot on his head and it was turning purple.

"Not hard enough for serious damage." I shrugged tying a knot.

When the man started groaning I had Zeb laying at his feet to make sure he didn't get free.

"This isn't necessary." The man starting wiggling. "I didn't come to hurt you."

"Maybe, maybe not." Rick shrugged. "We don't know you."

"I'm a friend. Did you not get my gift?"

"What gift?" Daryl growled.

"The water on the road." The man said looking at everyone's faces.

"Was it a trick? How many of you are there?" Rick demanded answers.

"No. It's just me."

"Who are you?" I glared kneeling in front of him.

"I'm Aaron."

"Well, Aaron. How do you know our names?" I raised my brow.

"I've been watching you for a while." He admitted. "I didn't know when would be a good time to approach you. Truth be told, you, Allison terrify me." He shuddered.

"Good." I smirked. "Now do tell us why you're here."

"We have a community." He began explaining. "I'm trying to find people that are useful to bring back, and all of you fit that description perfectly."

"You just contradicted yourself, Aaron." I chuckled shaking my head. "Who's we? You said you were alone."

"Ok, there's one other person out there." He frowned at the dirt covered floor and sighed.

"Everyone outside!" Rick yelled. "Eyes up, this could be a trick."

"It's not. I'm telling you the truth. Look in my bag, I have pictures of the community."

Rick bent down and dug through his bag pulling out canned food and a jar of applesauce then the pictures.

"There's a car and an RV parked not far from here." Aaron spoke up again.

"Why two cars?" Rick raised his brow looking through the pictures.

"So we would enough room to bring people home."

"What if he's telling the truth?" I looked up at Rick.

"One way to find out. Can you take Michonne, Glenn and Abraham to see?"

"I can." I nodded running out of the barn to get my group. "Glenn, Michonne and carrot top, come here."

"Carrot top my new name?" Abraham laughed. "Ok, super soldier."

"Ok, we are going to look for the car and RV. We need to know if this guys serious about the community."

"You got it." Glenn nodded.

We walked a couple miles out until we came across trees in the road and a car and RV parked on the opposite side. We searched the car and the RV.

"I call these spaghetti o's!" Abraham yelled.

"No one cares carrot top." I chuckled. "Let's get the cars moved close to the barn and get this did inside."

Abraham drove the car with Glenn while Michonne drove the RV with me. "So, do you think he's telling the truth?" Michonne asked watching the road.

"I believe so, but Rick would have to decide." I shrugged. "I think it'd be a good thing to find a good safe place for the kids."

"It would. I say we try. If he's been watching, he's knows not to mess with you." She laughed hitting the steering wheel.

******

"I say we try." Michonne whispered to Rick. "This could be what we are looking for."

"I agree with Michonne." I raised my hand.

"And if super soldier there is in, so are we. If he's been watching he knows not to get on her bad side."

"That's what I said." Michonne laughed.

"Ok, we will try." Rick nodded. "Where's your camp?" Rick turned to Aaron with a map in his hand.

"I can't tell you until we get close." Aaron shook his head. "I've only ever took people myself."

"Then we leave at nightfall." Rick muttered. "Unless you just tell us where it is."

"That's a bad idea." Aaron disagreed.

"Then tell us and we will go right now." Rick interjected.

Aaron shook his head and Rick made the decision to leave at nightfall. It'll be a while.

"Y'all eat." I yelled. "Get your strength up before we roll."

I walked to the door and sat down to watch the door.

"Allison?" Aaron whispered.

"What?" I turned to face him.

"The other that's out there, he's my boyfriend. Please don't let no one hurt him. It's my fault he's out here." Aaron frowned again.

I leaned over and touched his shoulder. "You have my word."

"Your nicer than you look." He chuckles nervously.

"Thanks...I think."

"I'm only telling you because I've seen your soft side. I've seen how big of a heart you have."

"And I'll do my best to protect him. I need his name."

"Eric."

I nodded and turned back to the door. Aaron seemed nice and innocent, he should t be tied up. And I'd do my best to keep my promise to him and protect Eric. I'll break from the group and find him. One way or another, we will make it to our new home.
