They opened the door of the train car and it was some serious deja vu. Except the part where I saw where I was.

It was a junk yard, except there was room in the middle for a while group. And there was little exits all around.

The only plus side about this was the freakish amount of people there were and the freakish amount of weapons there were. Don't forget about the over six foot people just walking with us, Anthony was one of the tallest people I knew, and he was the only one. So to see multiple...

They had the people, they had the strength, they had the weapons. This could be our holy-grail.

Michonne was in front of me and Tara was behind me. But all the people were going in this big circle and they were walking it, circling us.

Except it was like three different circles that went different ways.

None of the people had said anything at all to us. Our group stayed silent too and I started to think that I was in the middle of a cult.

It was definitely more than three circles going around. They weren't even looking at us but we were looking at them.

It wasn't a circle these people were just bad at finding their places. Very unorganized. They were just standing in a circle around us scattered.

Then it turned into two circles around us, finally. I was standing in line with Michonne in Rick while the other three were across from us.

"Are you a collective, or does one lead?" A woman finally asked and I looked in the direction.

"This." Another woman said and grabbed Rick, pushing him into the middle of it all. These were some strange people, I will give them that.

A woman with a bob cut was walking through and the people moved for her. Well now we were meeting their leader. She walked up right to Rick.

"Hi. I'm Rick." He told her.

"We own your lives." She said and that sounded a bit familiar.

"You want to buy them back? Have anything?" She asked and I looked around.

"Well, you have one of my people. Gabriel. I want to see him first. Then we can talk." Rick told her and she nodded her head at the woman that had pushed Rick in the middle.

A few others went with her and I watched where they went.

They came back and they did have Gabriel. He was in a wife-beater and his jeans.

"This bitch really got kidnapped." I said and nodded my head.

Gabriel was standing in between two people and he looked scared as hell.

"The boat things you took got taken. Saw them, so we took the rest. And we took him." She told Rick and it was a really confusing sentence.

"Well, then you know we have nothing to buy back our lives with.
That's what you'll have soon--nothing. Because me and my people already belong to that group who took those supplies from the boat.
They're called the Saviors. They own our lives.
And if you kill us, you'll be taking something from them. And they will come looking. Especially cause the star player is right there.
You only have two options when it comes to the Saviors--either they kill you or they own you. But there is a way out. Join us." Rick told the woman.

I looked at the face of the woman and how unfazed she was. She seemed like it was funny that he was telling her this and I looked at the rest of the people.

There was this feeling growing in my gut and I was starting to get suspicious and I wasn't sure if it was real or not.

"Join us in fighting them." Rick told her and she woman just sat there staring at him for a second in silence.
