"You die now." The voice said again and Dog started barking louder.

The walkers were back again, except we didn't know if it were walkers or human beings coming after us.

"Go. Now." Michonne demanded.

"No, last time I left somebody they died." I told her and glanced at Jesus.

"Now." Michonne said and I turned back again to see Aaron putting the knife through Jesus's skull. I cringed and tried not to think about it, which was impossible.

"That one." I told Daryl and I could see the knife hanging in it's hand. Daryl stepped forward and shot it before it could get him.

I walked next to Michonne and held my sword out.

"Go. I'll cover you." She told me and Daryl as we were the only who hadn't left her yet. Michonne lunged forward and I got the one behind.

"Die." It whispered and I looked at Daryl helping Aaron carry Jesus's body out.

"Die." It said again and I kept going with Michonne. We ran towards the fence and they were still coming at us at all angles.

An arrow went past us and I looked at Yumiko knowing one had been running behind us.

"Come on! Let's go!" Daryl demanded and we ran towards the gate while he held it open. I was the last one to run through and I looked back one last time as they closed it.

Daryl locked it and we both stepped back as they approached the gate. They seemed like walkers and we started running.


It was morning and I was walking in between Michonne helping Eugene and Aaron and Daryl with Jesus. Magna and Yumiko were ahead of us.

I kept my sword out and we were all going at a steady pace. Dog ran around the corner barking and we needed to get to the horses.

"Who the hell would do this? Even think about doing this?" Yumiko asked Magna with the mask in her hand.

"I suspect some vessel filled with a chunky salsa of abnormal impulses and metastasized rage." Eugene said while limping the whole thing.

"It's full on batshit." Magna said.

"You think there's more?" Aaron asked.

"There's always more and I'm going to burn every last one of them." I said.

"So, what do we do?" Yumiko asked and we were to the fence with there horses on the other side. Magna pushed over the fence and we kept moving.

"Right now, keep moving." Michonne said and we were all across the fence by now.


Michonne and Daryl were walking ahead of us while Dog ran. I kept my hand on Jesus's back while he was laying on the horse that Aaron led. Magna and Yumiko were on the same horse.

Michonne and Daryl were talking and I could tell that it eventually got to the fact of Rick, it always did.

"I wish I'd met him before. Sounds like he was a good one." Magna said and her horse was right next to me. Eugene was behind us on the other side. I glanced at Jesus and then looked forward again.

"He was." Me and Aaron said at the same time.

"Shouldn't have been out here." Aaron said and I reached over to put my hand over his.

"It's my fault if I hadn't--" Eugene started.

"Jesus made his own decisions." Aaron told him and I pulled my hand back.
