Rick shot the guards at the front and we could hear the shooting from the others at the other outpost. I grabbed the walkie from the man and he was in conversation with a woman from another outpost.

Rick opened the door and the others were behind me. I had my gun up and Rick looked at me.

"Top floor, you know what to do. Go." He whispered and I ran ahead making sure to check the rooms before continuing.

Rick whistled towards the others and I kept going until I found the stairs. I went up and up and nobody was around. I found a room and shut the door behind me.

I went to the window and put the machine gun back on my back. I grabbed out the rifle and set it up on the window sill.

I looked over at where Aaron's group was. The people were hiding and the Alexandrian's weren't hitting them.

I put my eye to the scope and searched the area. I found one that had his gun on Aaron and I pulled the trigger.

The silenced gunshot went and hit the man in the neck. Now I know that it reaches that far and I can do this.

This must be how Sasha feels. It feels exhilarating to be this far away but still getting them. 

This is the battle she should have been here for. This is the battle I'm doing for Abraham...and Glenn. They would be proud, I think.

The casing fell to the ground and I reloaded the gun. I put my eye to the scope and took the next one out.

I grabbed the first casing and put it in my back pocket. I reloaded the gun again and put my eye to the scope. I looked up when I saw that the Saviors moving in on them.

I put my eye back on the scope and I pulled my trigger. I hurried and reloaded the gun. I took a deep breath, aimed, fired.

Reload, deep breath, aim, fire. I heard something open and I jumped away from the rifle. I took out the machine gun and slowly opened the door.

I put my hands up as soon as I saw the crossbow and Daryl ran to me.

"You haven't found them yet?" I asked.

"No." He told me.

"Why do you look so wore out?" I asked.

"How'd you get up here?" He asked me.

"I took the stairs in the back?" I told him with a question.

"We just had to go up the elevator and force it open. How is it going with the other group?" Daryl asked.

"I'm trying." I told him.

"Okay. I'm gonna go find those guns, if they're here. I'll come back for you." Daryl told me.

"Alright, call for me if you need anything. Love you." I told him.

"Love you, too." He said and I shut the door again.

I ran back to the window and the people were starting to turn. Just like we had planned. I shot one more time and then I heard a gunshot in the building. Or at least I thought it was in the building.

I packed up the rifle, Sasha's rifle. I held it in my hands and brought it to my forehead. It was like she was still with me.

"Okay." I whispered and put it on my back. I grabbed the machine gun off the ground and looked at the battle on the ground once more.

I saw somebody fall to the ground and I grabbed the rifle out again so I could see. Francine fell next to Eric and Eric was running. There were a few others who were down. Tobin was down but he was still alive.

"They still need my help." I told myself and reloaded the .223 rifle.

One of the cars was moving and I aimed it to see somebody backing up into the Saviors. More of them were showing up and I shot the ones that were in the blocked in area.

I looked over and saw Aaron carrying Eric away. He was clutching his stomach and I shot at a tree that would give them a good-bye.

I brought the gun away from them and closed my eyes.

"Shit." I whispered. 

I shot five more of the Saviors and then put the rifle back on my back. I grabbed the machine gun and ran out of the room.

The walkie had gone off multiple times but it was just them telling each other what was going on. Telling each other to stay where they were and be ready.
