Hello! This is a basically a what if? story. I wanted to write if Andrea didn't die in Welcome to the tombs and went on to be the badass she is in the comics.
Andrea attempted to pick up the pliers for the second time using her feet, the first attempt failing due to her wearing boots. She got the pliers in her left hand feeling a bit relieved she smiled and looked at Milton "I got 'em" she said, but she soon frowned at the realisation that Milton has died and will soon reanimate. The thought ran through her mind many times as she began freeing herself from the restraints, just as Milton's blood soaked hand moved.
One cuff came free and she smiled again, but Milton began to move more and this time Andrea noticed it, fear begsn to overwhelm her as she hastily tried to free herself from the second cuff. "No, not yet" She said to Milton as he rised and stumbled towards her. She nearly freed herself but Milton got close, she raised her right leg and kicked Milton away, making him crash against the wall and groan loudly in a hunger filled rage, she finally removed the cuff and got up, as Milton walked to her she then drove the pliers through his left eye, killing him.
She looked at her now dead friend who is back against the wall, she began to cry at what she's done and what Phillip, The Governor has done "Bastard" she thought, she then went to put her boots back on.
Footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door and she grabbed the pliers, ready to fight her way out, leaning against the wall she waited until the metal door opened and went to attack but stopped when she saw, Rick.
"Oh my god" she said, happy to see her friends had come to save her.
Michonne came and hugged her friend, happy to see her alive.
"What happened?" Rick asked
"Is everyone ok? Are they alright?" She ignored his question
"Yeah, we're alright" He replied, his face emotionless
Andrea sighed before asking "Where is he?", Rick's face remained still before Karen came in. "He killed everyone.." She was trying not to cry at the memory of the massacre.
"I want to get out of here, please.. let's just go" she began to leave the room, taking a glance at Milton's dead body before she did and the group followed.
"We need to get the old people and kids out of here" Tyreese suggested
"Yeah, they're waiting for people to come back.. what're we gonna say?" Sasha asked, coming to the front of the group.
"We'll have to tell 'em, get everyone back to The Prison where it's safe" Andrea agreed, "We'll get one of those school buses, you guys get them ready" She ordered and they all went to do their jobs.
They arrived at The Prison, Andrea peered out of the window to see one of the towers was smoking, like it had been blown up. She also noticed that the prison yard had been cleared of walkers, dead bodies strewn across the yard.
"He didn't do as much damage as I'd thought" She said, to Rick
He looked at her, "We were ready for 'em, they came in and we led them to the tombs. Glenn and Maggie took 'em on and we were outside the prison" Andrea smiled.
They pulled up in the Prison Courtyard and everyone got off the bus, leading the elderly and children into the Prison where Hershel and Beth waited to greet them. Andrea walked up to Carol and gave her a hug, smiling. "Welcome back" Carol said to her, happy to see her, they went inside with the rest of the group, to help settle the Woodbury residents in.
