This is written after viewing this last episode of TWD, called "Prey". I call this, "Breaking Loyalty". It's how I imagine it would be if Milton had escaped with Andrea and they had both made it to the prison. I don't own TWD or its characters...Ha...
Milton and Andrea were quickly walking their way inside the prison. When Rick ushered them inside, Rick was joined by Glenn, Maggie, Herschel, Merle, Michonne and Daryl - all of whom looked at Milton with a confused and cold stare. They, particularly Rick and Daryl had no idea why Milton was there.
"He has no intentions of letting you all live." Andrea told Rick and the others, with her serious stare.
Rick looked at Andrea with a slightly shocked stare.
"What How do you know that?" Rick said almost coldly. "He said-he told me, we let him have Michonne, we can walk away from all this-"
"Yeah but he's lying, Rick." Milton said strongly.
Milton shook his head with a serious expression.
"He has no intentions of letting any of you live." Milton continued. "It's all a lie. There is no plan. He's lying. You all need to get out of here-in time, he'll forget all about you all but you all need to go and NOW."
Rick looked at Milton with a cold, confused stare.
"Wait, who the hell are you?" Rick snapped coldly at Milton.
"It's the Governor's butler." Daryl said with a smirk.
Milton looked at Daryl with a quick flash of anger.
"I'm NOT his butler." Milton said with a bit of attitude. "I worked with him on several projects-involving the biters. I did a lot of scientific research for him."
Rick rolled his eyes at Milton and nodded.
"Yeah well, we're not leaving." Rick snapped. "We're going to stay here and fight, it's a fight he wants, it's a fight he's going to get. We've got a prison filled with weapons, we're ready."
"Yeah and if we have to kill you and Milton here to do it-we will, won't be pretty but we will." Glenn said coldly while staring at Andrea.
Andrea looked at Glenn with a frown.
"No, look I'm not with him anymore." Andrea said with emotion. "That's why I'm here. That's why I came back to warn you all. I want to stay with you all, I want to help you take down the Governor. We both do."
Rick looked at Andrea with a upset frown.
"You both do?" Rick said coldly. "No, no, YOU can stay, Andrea but he-he has to go."
"Damn right." Daryl chimed in with a nod of his head, as he turned slightly away from facing Andrea.
"What?" Milton said with a wide eyed expression.
"No you can't send him back? Why can't he stay?" Andrea said.
"Because he works for the Governor." Glenn said strongly. "That makes him just as bad as the Governor is."
"I'm NOT." Milton replied strongly. "I left Woodbury with Andrea because I can't stay there anymore. I tried, I-I did, I-I thought Phillip was still the same man I always knew but he's not. I helped Andrea escape Woodbury and Phillip - the Governor SAW me doing so, now he's going to kill me if I go back there. I-I can't go back there."
"That's not our problem, bud. You gotta go." Daryl said coldly. "There's no place for you here."
"Yeah but there's a place for Michonne here," Andrea said with a frown. "You accepted her, Merle, you can't accept Milton?"
"I think he should stay," Herschel said lightly. "We're going to need all the help we can get."
"Yeah, and I can help." Milton said with a bit of fear filling his voice. "I can-I can pull my own weight, Herschel's right. Just-just give me a chance or-or if you want, I can just stay out of your way but just please-"
"NO!" Rick yelled angrily. "Now this decision is final! You aren't welcome here. We welcomed in Michonne and then Merle and now Andrea but you-no, you are where we draw the line. No, you have to go."
Milton looked at Rick with trepidation and with slight fear.
Merle laughed and shook his head.
"You sure this is a decision we want to stick with?" Merle said with a brief smirk. "I mean, I don't like the egghead as much as any of ya'll but he's right, the Governor is going to tear that kid apart if he goes back. Anyone who leaves Woodbury becomes an automatic target for death."
Milton looked at Rick with pleading eyes.
"You see?" Milton said with slight fear in his voice. "Please don't send me back there. I-"
Milton stopped as Rick stepped up in front of him and looked him coldly in the eyes.
"You have fifteen minutes to get OFF these prison grounds or else you won't only have to worry what the Governor will do to you." Rick said with strong coldness. "Now, either you can go or BOTH of you go - you make your choice, now."
Andrea looked at Rick with an upset frown and scoffed and shook his head.
"Fine," Andrea said angrily, "We'll both go-"
"NO." Milton interrupted quickly.
Milton looked at Rick and the others with hurt, upset and fear. Milton then looked at Andrea, sadness filled in his face.
"You-you stay here-with them." Milton said in a low, hurt voice. "You belong here."
Andrea looked at Milton with a deep frown and shook her head.
"No, Milton, I can't let you go back there alone." Andrea said strongly. "The Governor will KILL you."
Milton looked down as light tears filled his eyes. He nodded and looked up at Andrea with a hurt, fearful expression.
"I-I know." Milton said in a low, cracking voice. "I know but-"
Milton stopped and shrugged his shoulders quickly.
"What can I do, you know?" Milton added with a bitter laugh and in a cracking with tears voice.
Andrea looked at Milton with a troubled frown as light tears filled her eyes. Immediately she pulled him to her and hugged him tight. He hugged her back as he frowned with light tears streaming from his eyes. As she let him go from the hug, he looked down at the floor, away from her and quickly lifted his eyeglasses and wiped streaming tears away.
"You take care of yourself, Andrea, alright?" Milton said through light tears.
Andrea nodded through light tears as Milton took hold of her hands and stared at them with a hurt frown and his eyes clouded with tears. He nodded and looked up at her briefly as he let go of her hands and sniffed away tears.
"Bye," Milton said in a low voice.
Quickly Milton turned and looked at Rick and the others briefly before walking out of the prison. As Rick turned to follow Milton out, Herschel grabbed Rick's arm and looked at him sternly.
"You're really going to let him go back there, Rick?" Herschel asked in a low voice.
Rick looked at Herschel with an eyebrow raised.
"Do we have any choice, Herschel?" Rick asked strongly. "We don't KNOW him. For all we know, he could have been told by the Governor to help Andrea escape, to spy on her, to watch her come back here and to collect information."
"Yeah but he's going to kill him, Rick." Herschel said in a low voice. "You know that."
Rick looked at Herschel with boldness.
"That's NOT our problem." Rick said strongly before yanking away from Herschel and walking away.
