Story: Michonne got kicked out by Rick and his group. The story starts with season 4 and it will continue all the way to season 6, where Rick and the others are living in Alexandria. This story is about Michonne journey, as she's becoming a leader of her own group. Her group eventually ends up in DC too, where they will settle down in their own community. And by fate, her group will meet Rick's. Will her group befriend them or will there be war? Will they fight The Saviors too? (Some comics references btw)

So, just like that. Michonne is alone again. Alone on the road. They patched her up and showed her the way out of the prison. She didn't knew if they voted her out, or if it was Rick decision. Just from the few days she spent there, she knew he was their leader. But it doesn't matter anymore, she's not apart of them, those strangers. If it wasn't for her, Glenn and Maggie would have been in the governor's hands by now, maybe as slaves, or maybe even dead. If so, they probably would have joined his heads collection. Good thing, it's all gone now. Good thing, she stabbed that lunatic in his eye. She could have done way worse, but was interfered by Andrea. She could have just killed him at that time, so Andrea would be still alive now.
Andrea. They spent a whole year together, Michonne saved her life lots of times. And to her surprise, she chose the governor over her? Someone she just met? The man that got her killed in the end. She wish she could have taken Andrea with her back then. Out of Woodburry, but it was her own choice to stay. But at least they had the chance to say goodbye to each other, right before Andrea passed way. They forgave each other. Maybe she should have just mind her own business, when she saw that Maggie and Glenn were taking by Merle. But she couldn't. Not what after Merle did or that freak of a governor. She still has her humanity left in this hell of a world. Well a little, she believes. Maybe the prison people would have let her stay, if she just explained the whole story. Maybe. Maybe she should have go back to them. But she has too much pride. Besides, that's all in the past now.

Michonne found 2 walkers, which she uses them as her new pets. Just walking, with no any direction. It's already been a few days since she left the prison. Her mind goes back to the prison at times. She isn't sure wether to blame them or not. But she probably would do the same if she was in their position. Probably.
She is lucky they gave her food and supplies for along the way. Hershel, he was a nice guy. Don't think she can even remember some of their names. There was Rick, the leader. His second-in-command, Daryl. Whos surprisingly is Merle's brother. Hmm, she wonders how that's going to work out. And she remembers Hershel daughters and Glenn ofcourse. This kid, Carl. She remembers a few more faces and the rest were all of a blur to her.

Michonne takes a quick break and looks at her bag. There's only a little bit food left and some water. She grabs her water bottle, hungrily gulping all the water. She even tries to squeeze the bottle just to get the last few drops of it.

"Mike, was it the right thing to do, to leave the prison? I had to. I don't have anyone anymore. I had Andrea, she was my friend. My only friend. Maybe they blame me for everything. Whatever, it's not my business anymore. I'll just have to keep going forward. And whatever, whoever comes across my path, I'll deal with it. Andrea thought me to be more open minded about that. You have to understand that, Mike. It's just easier this way."

Michonne was so in her own thoughts that she walk passed this town sign. She pauses and takes a step back to look at it.
"Welcome to Maryland" it says on the sign.

A few miles later, Michonne arrives at the town. She grabs her katana. Always be ready. Always.
The town is deserted like any other town. And it looks like the town been cleared by other people already. But still, she hopes she can still find something. She kills a few walkers as she checks out the houses one by one. She looks through a window, to see if there are any walkers inside. The house looks empty.
She knocks on the door and waits. Just a few seconds later a walker shows himself in front of the window. Michonne opens the front door and kills the walker as he approaches her. She ties her pet walkers on a pole and she enters the house.
Michonne carefully walks through the first floor looking for supplies. She's in the kitchen when she hears a soft sound coming from upstairs. She quickly walks to the stairs and waits for the sound to continue. The door slowly opens, she stands there at the bottom of the stairs. Looking up, ready to fight, whatever, whoever appears.

"Please, don't kill us.", a woman said in a shaking voice.
The woman slowly walks out the room and shows herself to Michonne. And a man following the woman closely. They both stand at the top of the stairs and they are holding up their hands.
"Woah, woah, we're cool. We're cool.", said the man.
"Please, we have food here. We have fruit.", the woman said as she showed Michonne the peaches in her hands.
Michonne looks at them, as she lowers her katana, but still being careful.

"Who are you?", Michonne asked.
"I'm Ana, and he's Sam.", as the woman pointed at the man.
"You?"
Michonne didn't answered.

Ana and Sam goes downstairs. Ana helps Sam, as he's having trouble to go down by himself.
"Please, can you help him?"
"He hurt his shoulder, he's in pain."
Michonne looks at Ana, then over at Sam. "Who are they? They could be dangerous, but they don't really look like they could be a threat. Should she just leave them? Or should she help them? She decides to go for the latter."

Michonne checks his shoulder as she cleans his wound.
"What happened?", she asked.
"We were looking for a place to crash. The roof's broken now and it's been getting rain, so it's full of fruit. We were there about a day and the skin-eaters showed up."
"Skin-eaters?"
"Yeah. Thats what we call them."
Sam continues.
" Jackin' it up for the whole world. I thought everybody was an asshole before this all went down. Now I love people. You know, people who are alive."
"And what happened with your shoulder?", Michonne asked.
"When they were coming in through the door, I tripped crawling out the other side. Pulled the glass out, but my shoulder, it still hurts like a bitch."
"Well, it's dislocated.", Michonne said.

Michonne puts his shoulder back into its place, with lots of screaming while doing so. But its back, that's what matter.
"It's going to be sore for a few days.", she said.
"So, after the greenhouse, you came here?"
"Yeah. We thought this house was clear. We missed the deadie in the PJs, so we dove into the bathroom."
"So how long were you up there untill I showed up?"
"Like, two days."
"But there was just one. You had guns."
"We have about 12 bullets. It usually take us about five or six to bring one of them down."
"How about your knives?", Michonne asked.
"To what, stab it in the head? "
"We got separated from our crew about a week ago. Been trying to play it safe since it's just the two of us."
"I have to with my leg."

Michonne looks back at Ana and her eyes goes to her leg, which is partially burnt.

"We were at a refugee center together and there was a fire. People were just trampling over me. Assholes. Sam saved my life. We didn't know each other before. It didn't heal right, but it healed. And we found each other. It was worth it." Ana said smilingly.

"Are you alone?", Sam asked.
"Yeah."
"Where are you headed?"
"Nowhere, just trying to stay alive, maybe a safe place."
"We were watching you from the window, upstairs. You look like you've been out there this whole time. The way you killed the deads. It was awesome. Can we come with you?"

Michonne paused. Who are they? Why do they want to come with her? They don't even know her. She didn't expected to see humans so soon. But maybe they can be helpful in the future. And looking at them now, both not in their best state. Maybe they can help each other out for the time being or until its time to go their separate ways. And if it comes to the worst, she can always ditch them along the way. Besides, it's actually good to talk to people again. To real people.

"Ok."
"Michonne. My name is Michonne."

Sam and Ana joins Michonne on her journey. They haven't find anything for the past few days, walking, just like always.
"We need to find a place to shelter, it's getting dark soon."

To Michonne surprise, these two new people are kind of a good company to her. They are very talkative and look at everything at a positive side.
Sam is a little bit of an airhead at times, a jokester at most, but he's a good guy. Very kind actually. So is Ana, with her 4D personality. Very sweet and bubbly, who hasn't killed a walker by herself yet. Michonne is kind of amazed how these two managed to stay alive this whole time. They are too gullible and they can't even kill a walker properly, let alone defend themselves. An easy target. They can't be like this, not anymore. Not if they are around her. They need to learn to defend themselves. Fast.

"Are you guys okay? Should we rest for a bit?", Michonne asked.
She used to not care about people or anything since this outbreak happened. People are really scary. The best thing to do was taking care of only yourself, the one you can trust the most. Nobody who turns your back on you. But since she met Andrea, she is able to let down her shield and care more.
"No, we're good. Keep walking.".
Michonne notices that they are exhausted, since they begin to struggle with walking. But she didn't say anything.

Eventually they found an abandonded cabin in the woods, just before the dark.
"Eyes open, everywhere." Michonne gestered to Sam and Ana, to watch her back.
She slowly walks to the cabin, with her katana in one hand and as the other hand grabs the doorknob. They enter the cabin and luckily it's empty. It's dirty and smells horrible, but there is no other option.
"Get inside, hurry."
"Looks like we can stay the night here. Help me move that bookcase in front of the door."
"It's cold here. Should we make a fire?", Ana asked.
"No, no fire. Just try to get pass this night okay?"
Althought it wasn't the best place to sleep, but they were lucky to have a roof over their heads. Everything is better than out in the open.

Next morning, early in the morning.
Michonne is the first one to get up. She let out a yawn and she looks over at Sam and Ana who are still asleep. She grabs her katana and she quietly makes her way to the door. She needs to stretch out her legs for a bit. She is close to the door, when she hears a loud scream nearby, which startled her.
The screams woke up both Sam and Ana.
"What, what was that?"
"You guys, stay here! Someone is in trouble."
"No, we're coming with you."

Sam and Ana grabs their stuff and they quickly follow Michonne. The group follow the sound of the screams as its getting louder the closer they get. Upon arrival, they hide behind a few bushes.
A man is fighting of a few walkers by himself. Probably around 10 or so. He has a gun in his hand, out of bullets it seems, since he's using it to knock them down. He has glasses, blue eyes, kind of a fit posture and blonde hair, almost grayish. Probably in his mid 40's. From the look of it, looks like he's been fighting them for awhile already, since he can barely stand up anymore.

"Should we help him?", Ana asked.
Ana and Sam both look at Michonne, waiting for her answer. Michonne hesitates before she makes a decision.
"Lets go."
Michonne walks out the bushes, to the walkers as she begins to slaughter them one by one. Sam and Ana are a bit behind since they are both fighting one walker at a time. Just a few minutes later, they killed all the walkers. The man is exhausted as he kneels on the ground to rest.
"Thank you, thank you. You guys saved my life.", the man said, while still trying to catch his breath.
"Not a big deal. Seems you're good now. See you."

"Let's go guys." Michonne said to Sam and Ana.
Michonne turns around to walk away, when the man calls them.
"Wait, wait! Can you help me?" Michonne ignores the man and they continue to walk away.
"I'm a doctor."
Michonne stops immediately at the word "doctor". This is getting interesting. She looks over at Sam and Ana, who actually needs a doctor now. She turns around, facing the man. Glaring at him.

"We're listening."

"My name is Walter, I'm a physician. Well I was, I don't know what I am anymore. I'm from a small town in Georgia. I was with a group, when this herd attacked us. Just happened a few days. I was the only one alive. I have a car. It's close. But the car broke down, I was looking for help. And then this group of dead people came after me."

"Where's your car?"

The group follows Walter to his car. Sam has his gun pointed at Walter.
"Listen buddy, one weird move and I'll end you."
He looks at Michonne, who gives him this blank look. "Well, she'll end you."
"Look, look, there's my car. I told you the truth.", as he pointed towards the car, an old silver Toyota. And like he said, the car is indeed broken.
"Can you guys fix it?"
"I can try. My dad was a mechanic, I used to watch him work." Sam said.

"So here's the deal. We fix your car and we get your car. And you can come with us, just for a little while.", Michonne said.
"Please, I'll do everything, to come with you."
They check out his car thoroughly, which is filled with supplies and food. Sam is fixing the car, while Walter is treating Ana's leg. Michonne sits there watching them in silence. A moment later, Sam goes to Michonne.
"Michonne, there's a radio in his car, should I turn it on? I don't know, maybe there's something."
"Sure, go ahead."
Sam goes back to the car, turns on the radio and he continues to work on the car. A bit later, there's this noise coming from the radio.

"bzz...hello...bzzz..."
"Anyone bzzz..hear us...bzz...
"My name is Alicia Clark..bzzzz...here with my..bzz. brother Nick...bzzz"

...and we...bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

No more signal. Sam checks on the radio and he changes to different channels, with only noises as a result.
"bzzzzz...terminus...every...bzzzzz...welcome..." And like this the radio shut off.

"What the hell was that?"
"Terminus? What's a terminus?" Sam asked.
"And what about the girl before?"
"Probably nothing, they might be dead by now.", Michonne said.

Some hour later, Sam manages to get the car to work and he applauds himself. They all look at him weirdly.
"Yeah, he's like that.", Ana said embarrassingly.
Sam goes over to Walter for his shoulder checkup. Walter cleans his wound and gives him new bandages.
"So, where are we going now?", Walter asked.
"Where were you driving to?"
"I was going north, we can continue doing so."
"Yeah."

They load the car and are back on the road quickly. Walter is driving, Michonne riding shotgun and Sam and Ana at the back. They manages to drive for about 2 hours until they run out of fuel. They pack up all their stuff and continue to walk. Into the woods again.
Michonne and Ana walk in front. Sam and Walter are closely behind.

"So, what's the deal with her?", Walter asked.
"Michonne?"
"She doesn't talk much, but she's cool. She saved my life. Besides, I'm feeling a lot safer around her."
Walter nods in agreement.
"And she just saved my life too."

"Well, I guess, we both owe it to her."

Note: I've been reading the comics and Michonne is so badass there. I want to write her as a leader, she would be awesome as one and makes better choices. Sam and Ana are from the tv show, where Carol and Rick met them. For this fic, I used Michonne instead. Anyways, thanks for reading, and see you at the next chapter?
