Maya's Pov

The sound of Sasha cutting her axe boomed through the church being the only sound heard. I looked up from the double doors seeing the faint outline of her body breaking apart from the piano. The group decided last night to secure the church while six of is went towards Grady Memorial to save Beth and Carol. The kid Noah explained everything to us. It was a hospital that abused it's workers and kidnapped people to work.

Noah was with Beth and they both tried to escape, but at the last second, Beth sacrificed herself so Noah could get away. It sounded much like the girl I once knew and furthered pushed me to go help and find her. Daryl came through the double doors holding the piano organs in his arms.

" Are you going to take the cross too ?" Gabriel asked sarcastically.

" If we need it." He answered and drove a piece into the ground.

" What your group is doing is wrong. Attacking people, dismantling-"

" All I know is one of us is right and the other one is you." I spat driving the second organ into the ground before going around the church to help Carl. I placed the board on the window watching Carl hammer the right side while I hammered the left.

" Are you going to go to the hospital ?" He asked glancing to me nervously.

" Anything could go wrong. Daryl might need me."

He nodded his head reaching down and handing me his knife" Take it."

" I'm not leaving you defenseless."

" Neither am I." He defended." I'll be in less danger then you going to Atlanta."

I took the knife slowly from his hand when he pulled me into a hug." Hey, I'll be back. I promise."

" I'll be here waiting. Just please stay safe."

" I'll try my best." I teased hugging him a bit tighter. Soon, the group were packed and ready to head back to Atlanta. The group was going to be divided with Rick, Daryl, Sasha, Tyreese, Noah, and I heading to Atlanta while Michonne, Carl, Judith, and Gabriel stayed in the Church. I stood by the doors watching Rick hold Judith protectively. I didn't blame him worried Gabriel had tricks up his sleeve that would hurt them.

" Bring everyone back." Carl whispered hugging his father.

" We'll be back soon." Rick promised smiling to his son before we all left towards Atlanta. I sat between Daryl and Noah while Sasha and Tyreese sat in the back of the moving van." Forty miles north right ?"

" Yes. Right pass the highway." Noah answered fixing the map in his lap." You can see the hospital from there."

" Got it." Rick replied driving the truck for about two hours before we stopped in the middle of Atlanta. I stretched my legs and looked at the torn down city ruined in walker guts and debris.

" We should camp out in this building." Daryl said pointing to a yellowish building. I held my gun high checking every corner for walkers before we sat in the middle square sketching the building.

" At sundown we fire a shot in the air. Get two of them out on patrol. Then once it's dark enough that the rooftop spotter won't see us, we go. We cut the locks on one of the stairways, take it to the fifth floor. I open the door, Daryl takes the guard out. I got Dawn. If they're smart , the rest of them will give up. Then it'll be five on three. Six on three once we get a weapon to Beth."
