    *Dahlia*

      "No absolutely not" I cross my arms over my chest and I say "dad I can take care of myself paul taught me everything he knows about sniper rifles I'm not a little kid anymore". He sends me a narrowed gaze and he says "dahlia it isn't safe out there" I roll my eyes and paul says "she's tough she doesn't scare easy daryl she's a Deadshot". Dad looks at me and he says "you don't move from your post until we radio to you that it's safe do I make myself clear?". I smile at him and nodd and paul handed me my suitcase which had my sniper rifle gun in it and when we finally get to the outpost I hop into the backseat with Tara Paul was in the passenger seat.

I take my gun out of the case and start assembling it and tara stares at me with amazement and when I attach the scope I turn to look at her and she says "wow you really are something huh?". I chuckle and shake my head and I go to my post which just so happened to be a tree around back right by tara, paul and father Gabriel's car. Once we hear the alarm go off I put my back against the tree and aim at the back door any minute now. Once the saviors start to run out I aim at there heads and from the ones I didn't get father Gabriel and tara got for me.

I take a deep breath and then after the all-clear and the sun was peeking up over the trees. I ease down the tree and I was about halfway there when my foot slipped but before I could fall onto the ground soft hands grabbed my waist. I turn around and see it's tara she sits me softly onto the ground and I say softly "thank you". she sends me a smile and we start to walk over to the group and we were checking for negan but we couldn't find his body.

Then we hear a motorcycle start to drive out of the garage off to the side and before he could escape my dad tackles him to the ground. We run over there and I hear him scream "where'd ye get the bike?" rick pulls daryl off of him and aims his colt python at the guy I do too. I reload really quick and aim at him making sure I had a headshot and then a radio right by his head and it crackles "lower the gun prick". We get him sat up and rick aims his gun right by his head again and the woman says "I got a carol and a maggie I think that's something you wanna talk about".

I roll my eyes and rick says "I want proof of life" then out of nowhere we hear carol say "rick it's carol we're okay" then it moved onto maggie I swear if I get my hands on this woman I am gonna kill her nice and slowly no one messes with maggie she's pregnant for crying out loud. After she and rick do they're song and dance I run to the treeline right in front of us and father Gabriel says "dahlia please be careful she might still be watching". I flash him a thumbs up and I check the ground with my dad right behind me and I see footprints on the dirt it was like maggie or carol dug their feet into the mud. I hit dad's arm and I say "it's like maggie and carol wanted us to know look at the feet print".

He nodded at me and I say "they weren't dragged Maggie pushed her feet into the mud so we would know or carol". He nodded at me and sends me a prideful smile and I look at him and I ask "what?" he just chuckles and shakes his head at me "you just make me proud every day". I smile and I step out of the treeline and tell them to come on with my hand they make they're way to us and we get the prisoner and dad and rick were in charge of him. I keep tracking them until we come to a road and it looks like one of them started dragging there feet.

I smile at the dragging and I say to rick while pointing at the footprint "look either maggie or carol started dragging her feet she's either hurt er leg or she's doing it on purpose". He chuckles and nodded and he says "who taught ye how to track?" I point at my dad behind me "he did and uncle merle too". He chuckles and dad says "yeah she was about seven or eight and as soon as she got off the school bus we would go hunting I didn't wanna leave her alone in the house so her little brain was like a sponge she just sucked it all in". We make it to an old abandoned factory and as soon as Glenn opens the door maggie and he comes face to face.
