Allison (rewritten)

That's the way

We've been at hilltop for about two days now. I've been walking around with zeb and Harley exploring.

An old woman who hands out apples everyday smiled from ear to ear at me everytime I walked by.

An older man twnsing to the garden of veggies always looks skeptical towards me but never said anything.

And the small kids, they always came around me when zeb was present.

Today Maggie was walking the wall keeping watch with Sasha on the ground. Daryl was always at the graves of our fallen friends.

After writing on their graves I never went back because I knew if I did id lose it and go after Negan. I couldn't do that until we could fight.

"open the gates!" Maggie yelled to Sasha climbing down from the wall.

Daryl came running around the corner gripping my hand, clearly expecting the worst.

The gates opened and Maggie jumped on someone hugging them tightly. The other faces behind them stood out. I let go of Daryl and barrelled forward into michonne.

"your here, your ok!" she said laughing and crying while squeezing me.

She let go being replay ed by Rick "howd you get away?" he laughed kissing the top of my head.

I stepped back so they could see Daryl standing behind me. Rick broke down crying grabbing ahold of him.

"how?" he let go looking at me.

I looked at carl smiling "i had a perfect plan, carl here helped me when he decided to jump on negans truck."

"your note was clear." he smiled giving me a hug. "glad your ok."

"kid, I got skills." I laughed removing his hat stuffing up his hair.

Sasha closed the gates up tight handing the reigns over to a bulky man.

"lets go talk." rick stated before moving towards the main building.

Once their Maggie shut and locked the door behind us. Jesus brought it on himself to follow us inside the room sitting on the couch.

"whats happened?" I asked eyeig Rick. "why are you guys here?"

Rick looked between all of us rubbing his forehead "its time, we have to fight back."

"he killed Olivia and spencer and took Eugene." michonne spoke. "all after rosita tried to shoot negan with a bullet he made."

I looked at rosita and wrapped an arm over her shoulders "atleast someone here has balls to try."

"i did it for Abraham and Glenn." she started blankly. "plus, he had my friend." she looked at me.

I half smiled at her and looked back to Rick "whats the plan?"

"we need to find more communities and gather to fight this." he answered.

Jesus jumped to his feet smiling "and I know just the place to go."

"where?" me and rick said together.

"the kingdom." he nodded "its not far."

"then we best get a move on." rick said. "allison, you with us?"

I nodded "damn right."

"take me to Glenn and abraham before we leave." rick looked at Maggie.

Maggie nodded her head and opened the door for everyone to follow.

I stood in place not budging. I still couldn't being myself to go back there.
