3. Dangerous Woman

A day had passed and there was still no sign of the others, bodies had been buried, walkers had been burned.

Alexandria was quiet, all until there was yelling outside.

Theo ran as fast as she could to the front gate, finally seeing some familiar faces.

She ran to Michonne engulfing her in a massive hug, relieved she was safe and okay.

"Where is Glenn?" Maggie asked from behind Theo, who was standing awkwardly and she was afraid of what Michonne was about to say.

"We got split off. We got over run, half of the walkers split after a loud horn began to go off" Michonne explained

"Yeah, that was here, men jumped the walls, half of these people are dead" Theo spoke through her teeth, not because she was angry but because she was heartbroken and part of her felt guilty.

"Glenn and Nicholas went to set a fire, but there was no fire, we had to take our opportunity and run, he said he would give us a signal if he got stuck" Michonne explained

Maggie took everything in, her husband was strong, there was no way he was dead, not to Maggie and not to Theo.

"We-" Theo began talking when something in the atmosphere changed, it suddenly became claustrophobic, without an expansion.

"OPEN THE GATE!" Someone from outside yelled at the top of their lungs.

The three ran to the gate, pulling back the first one to see Rick, out running hundreds of walkers.

Michonne dealt with the gate opening it as soon as Rick was close enough, closing it behind him before any walker could get in.

"What the hell happened?" Theo asked, hugging her father.

"We got to reinforce these walls, someone explain what the hell has happened" Rick gasped as he struggled to catch his breath.

"Call a meeting, get these walls reinforced" Theo repeated to the people who had gathered around.

"Daryl?" Theo grabbed her dad, waiting for an answer.

"He, Sasha and Abraham are still leading the majority of the walkers away, he's okay" Rick reassured her, she sighed in relief.

Others separated, collecting things to help keep the walls up.

Meanwhile everyone else had gathered.

Carol had filled Rick in with all the details before he came back to talk to the rest of the group.

"I know you are scared, I know you haven't seen anything like this before, you might have, but not like this." Rick began catching everyone's attention.

"These walls will hold, we will continue to reinforce them, just in case, but from now on, close your blinds, even better keep your lights off" Rick continued looking between all the people, they were scared anyone could tell. "Best yet you stay quiet, we don't want this place to become a grave" Rick spoke

"This place is already a grave" A woman spoke up in the audience

"Daryl, Abraham and Sasha are still out there, they will come back, lead them away, Glenn and Nicholas will walk straight in after" Rick explained the plan, trying to make these people more confident in the outcome.

As people began looking between one another, it began to make Theo annoyed, angry. Their faces were not trusting at all, they didn't believe a word coming out of her fathers mouth.

"You people still don't get it," Theo yelled, making everyone look at her.

"Theo..." Her father tried to calm her.
