Heartless ➳ TWD² [COMPLETED]

Chapter IX ➳ Worth

• NOTE: I do know that Daryl and Rosita going to get Eugene back and the women meeting Georgie are in two different episodes, but this way, while Rosita is gone with Daryl, Tess can take her place. Bare with me. Thanks. All the love .xx •

THIS morning, after much argument, Daryl and Rosita left to go get Eugene back. Kidnap him back, that is. I didn't want them to go, since it would obviously be too dangerous, but they didn't listen to me. Then, when I said that I would go with them, Daryl immediately fired back with an argument that I have to stay back.

However, I wanted to get out of here. My mind was wondering and racing while I worried for what would come next with the Saviors. I just kept thinking... Who will die next?

"Hey, Tess," I heard someone call out my name as my eyes started to wonder around me. "Hey, up here." I looked up and saw Maggie standing guard up at the gate. She waved me over. "Come up here."

I didn't argue, so I went up the ladder to meet up with her. She handed me her binoculars and urged, "Tell me what you think of that out there."

I didn't know what she meant, but I pressed the binoculars to my eyes and peered through, looking straight ahead. I shook my head when I didn't see anything unusual. "Maggie, I don't—"

"Look straight ahead," she interrupted, pointing forward. "See that crate out there?"

Crate? For a split moment, I truly believed that Maggie was going a bit coo-coo, to put it nicely. I didn't see anything, but after a moment of straining my eyes, I did see something. She was right. It was a crate of some kind.

"Whoa," I breathed out and finally put down the binoculars from my eyes. "Who put that there? Saviors?"

She shook her head, taking back her binoculars, and glared at me. "No, I'm thinking someone else."

"Someone... friendly?" I questioned, hoping that her judgment is better than mine. "Like who?"

She shrugged and glanced away for a moment. "Maybe we should go see what's out there."

She started to pass by me to go down the ladder when I grabbed her arm and demanded, "I'll go out there. Not you."

"What?"

She started to question my authority over her when I immediately added, "You're the one that's carrying the future, not me. Let me go out there, just watch my back."

I climb down the ladder first, but Maggie is hot on my tail. I started to go to the gate, but was almost immediately ambushed by Tara. "Hey," she breathed out, after running in time to catch me. "Where are you going?"

"There's a crate out there," Maggie answered before I could. "She's going to go get it. I can't. Her orders."

"A crate...?"

Tara began to question, but I didn't have time to answer if I wanted to go out there and get it. Hell, about the time that I've done explained it to her, I'll go out there and the damn crate will be gone. I just rolled my eyes and opened the gate, myself, while Tara kept asking a hundred and fifty questions to Maggie.
