Save Me

4. Rumours and Truths

Molly couldn't rest until she found out more about the Saviours, or better still killed one. Who knows how many there would be but each one was a step closer to 'Negan'.

As much as we didn't want to admit it, we were crumbling.

Rosita and Abraham broke up because Abraham wanted to be with Sasha.

Tara would be gone for two weeks with Heath on a supply run.

Rick and Carl were at loggerheads over the Negan situation.

Maggie was worried about her baby as Dr Carson was at Hilltop and of course, the Saviour problem.

Luckily, Daryl and I were both in agreement and we couldn't rest until we found out more about these infamous 'Saviours'.

After Rick called a meeting in Gabriel's church at Alexandria, he said we would have to kill every last one of them.

Of course Morgan opposed this and warned me against going after them but everyone else wanted this.

But I couldn't wait so Daryl, Rosita and I went to scout the area to see if we could find anything.

Abraham and Eugene were already out of the compound trying to find any trace of them.

Just as we were leaving, Denise asked if she could come along which I knew would be good for both of us with Tara gone.

So, we set off on the road.

Rosita was quiet in the car but she didn't like to share her problems and I knew I would have to get her alone to get her to talk.

Daryl, I think was just happy to get outside the compound and feel like we were actually attacking the Saviours.

I was lost in my thoughts until we came across a fallen tree and Rosita told Daryl to stop driving.

We halted the car and slowly stepped out.

Denise wanted to wait in the car while we checked it out and besides we were more ready for combat.

Daryl moved some of the branches while Rosita and I killed the walkers trapped underneath.

The way that Rosita was swinging her machete made me a little worried about her so I told her she should watch Denise back at the car while I took care of it.

She sighed but agreed.

I could tell that Rosita was tense but I didn't realise how much until she started arguing with Denise.

Once we cleared the tree, we were back on the road and found a little building that resembled an old supermarket.

Of course we thought that it would be completely looted and full of walkers but it would be good for all of us to relieve some pent up anger by killing them.

Denise was happy about this because she wanted that orange soda that Tara liked as a present for when she got back, so I killed the walkers in front of us while she looked for it.

Daryl and Rosita carried on foot down the grassy path and over onto some old train tracks, not wanting to risk it just for soda.

But, Daryl couldn't leave Rosita by herself so he went with her even though he didn't agree with her, because he now knew what it meant to her.

It didn't take too long to find the soda with most of the shelves being cleared but it gave us time to talk about Tara and share stories of her.

It was nice to bond with Denise and I think it was comforting for both of us to have someone to talk to who was close to Tara, while she was gone.
