Maya's pov
" They're suppose to be back by now."
Michonne's words were exactly why I was tapping my foot against the floor and staring at the gates right in front of me. The attack of Alexandria had been early in the morning and now in mid-afternoon, I was questioning why the others had not been back. Michonne told Maggie, Rosita, and I what had happed. The walkers were doing fine traveling to the meeting point when the truck that had crashed into the clock tower had signaled half the herd after them. Michonne was lucky to come back, but the whereabouts of Daryl, Rick, Abraham, and Glenn were unknown.
" The town was overrun. He split off with Nicholas." Michonne stated and I felt a second round of my nerves jolting. Things were looking very bad for everyone." He had this idea that....if we lit a fire it would stop the walkers from coming here. I tried to go instead. I wanted to. The fire never got lit. We had to keep going. I'm sorry. He said if he got stuck, he would find a way to send a signal."
" A signal ?" Maggie questioned.
" Open the gate !" A voice shouted and I snapped my direction realizing it to be Rick's." Open the gate !"
I quickly ran to the gates coming face to face with Rick racing as fast as he could away from the horde of walkers that were suppose to be following Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham. Rick leaped through the small gap before Michonne and I gripped the gate in our grasp and slammed it shut. The herd reached Alexandria. I didn't have to glance over the walls to know the walkers had surrounded the area. Their snarls could be heard for miles and made it harder to hear the person right next to you.
" Dad !" Carl shouted racing from the street to hug him relieved unlike the rest of us to see his loved one. The frantic voices of Alexandria began to ripped through as they all clustered together waiting for Rick's statement.
" You can hear it." Rick started taking center stage. I felt someone grab my hand and glanced to Carl before squeezing it knowing I needed him more then ever." Some of you saw it. They got back here, half of them. Still enough to surround us 20 deep."
Multiple gasp echoed through the people and some even turned away in fear of what that could do to us.
" Look, I know you're scared. You haven't seen anything like this. You haven't been through anything like this. But we're safe. For now. The panel the truck hit seems intact. We reinforced it just in case. Either way that wall's gonna hold together. Can you ?" Rick questioned.
Everyone shared a nervous glance to one another knowing deep down that Rick was right. If the people in here couldn't hold it together then it would be easy for those walkers to just walk right in and kill us all. I felt eyes on me and glanced up to Ron seeing his eyes bore in hatred at Carl. I frowned at his behavior moving closer to Carl's side.
" The other's, they're gonna be back." Rick promised and it was something I needed to hear.
" They're gonna be back." I repeated not quite sure why I had said it out loud. I felt eyes on me and nodded," They always do."
Rick nodded," Daryl, Abraham, Sasha, they have vehicles. They're gonna lead them away, just like the others. And Glenn and Nicholas are gonna walk back through the front gate after. They know what they're doing and we know what we need to do. We keep noise to a minimum. Pull our blinds at night. Even better, keep the lights out. We'll try to make this place as a graveyard, see if they move on."
