Maya's Pov
It was the next day since Merle had died. Mr. Grimes figured after not giving Michonne and what Merle had done before his death that the Governor would be coming to attack. I hadn't slept a wink. The whole group had stayed awake and packed the whole prison. The idea was to make it seemed that they have left. I packed everything I owned into a bag which wasn't much and made my way to the car. I saw Daryl and stopped seeing him look at Merle's bike.
" You know, Merle never did nothing like that his whole life."
" No matter what, he gave us a chance." I said before nodding to the group." We're ready."
I held my hand out and Daryl gave a small smile taking it and getting up. We began to walk to the green honda seeing everyone with guns in their hands.
" You have to stay out there. I know you want to fight-"
" But you don't want me to die." I finished knowing his worries and this time I knew why. He had just lost Merle and he couldn't have the idea of losing me too." I understand. Plus, my job out there is to protect Carl, Judith, Hershel, and Beth."
" That's right." He said looking down to the me. He embraced me in a hug holding me tightly." You be careful out there, sunshine."
" I always am." I said hearing Hershel start the car. I looked at it before giving Daryl a smile and walking to the car. I took one glance at the prison before sliding in the car and sitting next to Carl. Hershel turned in his seat looking towards us both.
" Everything will be alright. Rick and Daryl will be fine."
" I know." Were the only words to come out of my mouth before Hershel nodded and began to drive out of the prison. I turned in my seat seeing Daryl standing there watching me leave. I wanted to stay. Everything in me was telling I should, but I knew I couldn't. Staying would cause Daryl to be distracted and I couldn't afford that.
Hershel turned into the woods and drove deep into it. Somewhere near the prison, but hidden in the woods. He parked the car and everyone emptied out. Beth cradled Judith in her arms still and smiled down to the little baby.
" We need to protect the car."
" There's some broken sticks and leaves here." I answered. Carl followed me and found sticks with much dead leaves on it. In no time, the car was covered and blended some what well with the woods." Now what ?"
" We wait." Hershel answered. The minute those words left his mouth a loud explosion went off. I sat up and walked next to Carl knowing in the distance was the prison.
" Since when did we have explosives ?"
Carl swallowed." We don't."
I looked at him shocked before looking back to the distance." Please, Daryl."
The gunshots had stopped and that worried me more then anything, but I fought the worry knowing the group. My group. They were no quitters. No pussies. They were survivors. Warriors for the matter. Soon the gunshots came back followed by screams. I gasped before turning and walking near Hershel.
" What if it's our group ?"
" It's not."
" But what if it is ?" I asked." They need our help."
