*One Week Later*
When we got word that my dad had drove a truck into the sanctuary and that was the reason that everyone got out I was beyond livid with dad. Him and I both gave each other the silent treatment for at least three days he knew where I stood with him and I stood with rick. I wanted them dead too but I was swallowing my pride and hate for them. Because carl see's them as damaged and he thinks that some of them are good and some of them aren't bad.
Tara was beyond pissed that I was siding with rick and we have had a few arguments about that and it always ended with me slamming my door. I have been sleeping in rick's house for the last couple of days with the Grimes family. Rick was on beyond the wall tonight and it was starting to get dark and I look at michonne when we heard Negan's voice over the loudspeaker. She looked absolutely scared for us and I say to rosita and michonne "go gather the kids and get them in the tunnels".
She nodded at me and I turn to carl and I say "it's your show buddy". He nods at me and he says "you go to the sewer they won't look down there we will make this place as quiet as a graveyard". I nodd at him and I say "I'm not going anywhere without you grimes I'll stand right here with you". He sends me a smile and he holds out his hand "Grimes and" I send him a smile and I say as I grab his hand "Dixon together against the world".
I smile and at him and he returns my smile he climbs up the ladder and keeps negan talking and I climb up behind him and I get a good look at negan. He turns to me and flashes me a smile and he says "and who might you be darlin?". I cross my arms and glare at him and I answer "Dahlia Dixon" he chuckles and he says "you must be Daryl's Kid I know that glare anywhere carl's is just like rick's except his is half as good". I scoff and carl and him do there song and dance and then gunfire started going off and they blow up the houses.
Carl and I climb down and we run hand in hand towards the sewer system and when we finally find it I turn to carl as I climb down the ladder and carl pushes the manhole cover closed. I turn and see everyone down there including my dad carl and I stand off to the side and I say to him "if rick had seen that he would have been proud carl". He smiles at me and fist bumps me and he says "thanks dahlia your a tough chick" I snicker and shake my head and he says "you know you can't stay mad at him forever right?". I scoff and shake my head and I say while I sit down and he sits down beside me "I can try".
He bumps my arm and I say "he doesn't believe that some of those saviors are good people they're not all bad and I don't think negan is all bad either killing negan gives him the easy way out". He nods at me and I say "and keeping him alive in a cell will be punishment for him to give him time to think of what he's done and what damage he's caused maybe you and Judith can talk him back". He nodded at me and Siddiq sits across from me and he hands me a water bottle and tara sits across from me as we wait for the explosions above us to stop. Jude makes her way over to me and I rub her back when she cries over the noise and carl says "it's okay Judy it's just noise".
She reaches out for him and she whimpers "bubba" he pulls her into his lap and just holds her until she calms down. Then rick climbs down the ladder with michonne and when carl see's him he stands up and Judith runs to michonne he hugs rick's neck. He sits back down beside me and he says "we distracted him long enough to get down here and when he finally leaves we will go on foot to the hilltop". Rick smiles at us and michonne sits beside tara and after the noise finally stopped which was early the next morning.
Carl and I both look through the smoke and make sure we don't see anything and I grab my knife and my gun which I still had holstered. Carl stands beside me when rick passes Judith to carl and I ask "you got her?" he nodded at me and sends me a soft smile and he whispers to Judith "be quiet ok? it's a game Jude whoever is the quietest gets a piece of candy". Her whole face lights up and he chuckles when we help everyone out and Dwight climbs up the ladder and I whisper "keep looking while I help them get out?". He nodded at me and he whispers "I got your back" I hand him my desert eagle and I whisper "don't use it unless you have too".
