Maya's Pov
" All right, it's a trickle. Let's go."
" Finally."
It was about damn time. For almost an hour, I remained crouched down behind one of the crates with Carl while two of the Saviors sat at the edge of the truck. They had a herd was stuck in the road blocking off where they needed to go and finally, they had moved away starting the engine once again. I poked my head back up feeling my legs ache from the lack of movement for an hour. Jesus turned towards me, a confused look on his face before looking through the boxes the saviors had taken.
" Why are you here?" He questioned.
" To kill them." I answered looking back to the drench-coat man." I lived twelve years with that woman. Hot summers, cold winters with no AC or heat. I learned how to stitch wounds when I was seven. I'm not doing it for another twelve years and I'm not letting it happen to anyone else."
Jesus nodded his head, a sad look in his eyes when he looked at me. I turned away from him not wanting the pity. I was done being looked at like I was the helpless victim. I was when I was twelve, but I'm sixteen and ready to kill the bitch for good. I watched as Jesus opened one of the boxes before pulling out a bottle of syrup.
" What are you doing?" I asked watching Jesus pour syrup from outside of the truck.
" Making a trail. I think we're close. We should bail out, follow the rest of the way, see what we can see."
" I, uh... How?" Carl questioned looking from me to Jesus with so much confusion, I nearly wanted to laugh.
" It isn't usually the fall that gets us." Jesus assured nodding his head out the back." It's trying to fight it. Run with it or roll with it. The truck's going slow enough. We'll be in the blind spot. We can race behind one of the other cars."
Carl swollowed," I-I-If... If I screw up and we get caught..."
" It'll be fine." I promised nodding my head urging to him we wouldn't be going.
If I was going to attack Negan, I was going to do it up front and personal, not on some sidelines where he wouldn't see my face as I out a bullet in his head.
" We just got to go now."
" Okay. Show me first." Carl ordered
Jesus nodded and crouched at the edge of the truck swaying back and forth t find the best time to do so. To turn around another car, the truck slowed down and that was all it took for Jesus to leap out the back rolling onto the floor before hiding behind a car. Carl stepped around me, pushing the flaps to the side before waving to Jesus, who looked disappointed from afar.
" Now what?" Carl questioned moving to the guns and beginning to clip them together." Are you sure about this?"
" I'm not." I swallowed loading my own gun sparing him a glance." I'm not sure about any of this, so if you want to run, now is the chance."
" Together." He said placing his hand on my cheek before leaning down to kiss me.
I knew I would never get over this feeling. Sometimes I wondered how I went so many years without kissing him when it made me feel so much love. Perhaps all the love that had been missing in my life. I broke the kiss leaning my forehead against his nodding my head.
" Together."
The sound of walkers filled my ears and I turned towards the opening of the truck seeing, through the flaps, walkers were chained, tied, or stabbed against the walls of the sanctuary. Most likely to keep walkers our or bring fear into the people who came here. I took a deep breath hearing the truck come to a halt.
