"Right. Now you said you found Tyreese's group here?" Glenn finishes his diagram of the tombs with chalk on the floor and points to the generator room "Yeah." Carl nods "We secured this." Glenn points out nervously "He thought he came through here." Carl pointed to another spot as he spoke,  Glenn exhales heavily "Means there's another breach."

He rubs his hand over his face "Okay. The whole front of the prison is unsecure. If walkers just strolled in, then it's gonna be cake for a group of armed men." Beth shifts on her feet with her arms crossed "Why are we even so sure he's going to attack? Maybe you scared him off."

"He had fish tanks full of heads. Walkers and humans. Trophies. He's coming." Michonne states dryly. Glenn looked up in her direction "We should hit him now." Beth furrows her brows "What?" Glenn sucks on the inside of his mouth before answering "He won't be expecting it. We'll sneak back in and put a bullet in his head."

I keep my jaw tight refusing to let it drop from the shock of his words. "We're not assassins." Carol counters aggravatedly as he stands to his feet and limps over to Michonne "You know where his apartment is. You and I could end this tonight." Michonne sighs and looks away but Glenn insists "I'll do it myself." Michonne turns back to him and narrows her eyes before nodding slowly.

"Okay." Glenn said shortly and turns back around only to be addressed by Hershel "He didn't know you were coming last time and look what happened. You were almost killed. Daryl was captured. And you and Aubree" He nods in my direction "Were almost executed." Glenn walks towards him "You can't stop me." He says darkly his eyes raging with anger and hate.

"Rick would never allow this." Glenn stops in front of him "You really think he's in any position to make that choice?"

"Think this through clearly. T-Dog lost his life here. Lori, too. The men that were here. It isn't worth any more killing. What are we waiting for? If he's really on his way, we should be out of here by now." Glenn looks back at him and scoffs "And go where?" Hershel shrugs "We lived on the road all winter."

"Back when you had two legs and we didn't have a baby crying for walkers every four hours." Glenn points out, Hershel lets out a small breath "We can't stay here."

"We can't run." I watch Glenn as he stands there silently challenging Hershel, my heart breaks at the sight of him so broken and bruised. His eyes don't hold the same love that they did before, their clouded by fury and pain. I turn away from the group and walk down the hall and up the stairs away from everyone.

I make my way into mine and Glenn's cell and sit down on the bed, pulling my knees to my chest and leaning against the wall. I rubbed my hands against my face and rested my head back against the wall, letting my eyes fall closed.

The old mattress dips beside me causing me to open my eyes to address the figure there. "Mag?" I question as she smiles softly "I told them I'd talk to you." I sigh and shake my head "I'm fine" she raises a brow and gives me a pointed look. "Okay okay..so I may possibly not be fine" she chuckles lightly.

"What is going on?" she asks, I exhale heavily "I've never seen him like this..honestly it scares me a little" she nods understandingly "Have you talked to him?" I shake my head "I don't know where to start. And then he keeps bringing up what happened." I sighed "I just want to forget it" she rubs my arm sympathetically "You need to tell him that Bree" I bite my lip and nod "I know"

Glenn entered the cell and stood in the doorway, "We need to find out how the walkers are getting into the tombs." I stay quiet, intently watching the ground past my knees, he sighs and rests his elbow against the top bunk "Are we gonna talk about this? Bree, you need to talk about it." I look up at him "I do? Or you do?"

"What does that mean?" He questions "What do you want me to say? You really want to know what happened?" he paused before nodding "Yeah.." I drop my legs and let them hang off the side of the bed and grip the side leaning forward. "He made me get naked and stand in front of him? He came up behind me. Pushed himself against me. Put his hands all over me. He slammed my head down and bent me over a table."

Glenn's jaw clenches "Did he..." He trails off and I look up at him trying to keep the tears locked up "Rape me? No. No. Do you feel better?" Glenn shifts "I'm not trying to--" I cut him off "I had a choice. Either I take off my shirt or he would take off your hand. I just listened to Merle beating the shit out of you in the other room." I swallow thickly as my voice cracks.

"What could I do?" Glenn attempts to set a hand on my arm but I smack it away. "Just go..please. I want to be alone.." He looks down and nods slowly retreating from our room.

  Beth walked into the doorway of my cell with Judith in her arms "She's hungry. Could you help me feed her? I want to make my dad something to eat." I smile softly and nod "Here." Judith is handed to me and I shift her so her headrests in the crook of my right elbow. Holding her up and against my chest, I tilt the bottle in her mouth so she can eat.

"Your so good with her" Beth smiles, I watch the blue-eyed baby in my arms my heartwarming at the sight "I used to babysit for some extra cash" She reaches out and wraps her hand around my right that sticks out from Judith's side. Giving me a gentle squeeze she stands up and exits with a bright smile on her face.

My eyes go back to Judith after watching Beth's figure disappear, I blink back tears, growing up I always dreamed about getting married and having a family but from what the world has become now..it seems impossible.

Rickashaying gunshots hit the cement wall of the prison, my eyes shoot open wide and I set Judith down in her makeshift crib since she fell asleep. I run down the stairs and grab a few of the guns and run through the cafeteria to find Maggie doing the same. "Any idea what the hell is going on?" she shakes her head "None"

I hand her a gun and we slide back the door rushing outside "Beth!" I call out, she turns to me as I run up and hand her two machine guns. I duck as she grabs them and runs back to where Carl was. I hide behind a filing cabinet with Maggie beside me "Carol Go!" I scream and she takes off from behind Axel's body towards Beth and Carl grabbing a gun.

I peek out from behind the filing cabinet and aim at the man up in the guard tower, pulling tightly on the trigger many shots continuously ring out and few of them only hit him causing him to drop. The gunfire from all over the prison ceases as a loud engine roars from the gravel and dirt road.

A mail like truck speeds into the prison right through the fences taking them down and letting the walkers into the open grassland. It stops in the middle of the field and drops the ramp connected to the back of it down releasing multiple walkers "Oh my God" I breath out panicked "Mag-Maggie your dads down there" her eyes widen "No.." The trucks and the governor's people drive away leaving us to clean up after them.

Carl pulls back the front gate to the courtyard and lets Beth, Maggie, Carol and I run into the field taking out some of the walkers. Glenn pulls into the field and gets out of the truck to help Michonne get Hershel out of there.

Everyone gathers by the intact gate to look out into the once clear field, a hand rests on my shoulder and I reach bag setting my hand on top of his. More walkers trail through the broken gates building upon the count.
