Rick and Carl were about to head out when Daryll offered to go along. Rick agreed that it was okay for him to come along. Carl was okay with this since Carl loved Daryll. They all rode in a truck. None of them were talking much. Everyone was just keeping to themselves.

Daryll: hey, what do you think about the Governor you think he is going to attack us again?

Rick: Well, it has been six months and he hasn't showed up so I am hoping that this beef is over and done with.

Daryll: Yea man I hope you're right.

Rick: What, you think he is going to strike back again?

Daryll: I hope not man! But, who knows these days? Everything has gone to shit.

Rick knew what Daryll was saying was right. He himself thought the same thing. Rick doesn't seem to trust anyone these days any more. Especially since his own friends betrayal it has been real hard for Rick to even consider trusting someone yet alone giving them a chance. As they approached dozens of walkers they decided that parking the car would be a better option and heading out on foot the car usually gets stuck in between the walkers and they have no way of getting out. The group has been so long out there with the walkers that they have gotten used to them. They sometimes feel more used to the walkers then the humans. You never know what the humans are capable of. They started walking towards the forest Daryll, looked down and noticed a lot of blood on the ground.

Daryll: Look this is fresh blood.

Rick: You think someone got bit?

Daryll: Looks like someone was bleeding a lot but then based on these trails down the hill it looks like that person got picked up by someone and taken.

Rick: You think we can follow the trail and see where it's leading to?

Daryll: I mean we can give it a shot they might be people or we might find some food or a house or something.

Carl: Maybe it was someone who was hurt maybe we can help them!

Rick loved his son so much, he knows what his son is saying is right but, at the same time he wants his son to be safe and he knows that the only way he can be safe is if he stops caring for everyone because, the minute you take a human in and they turn on you, you end up with a war on your hands. Rick has lost too much and is not willing to lose his son or his daughter.

Rick: Carl, we can't help everyone.

Carl: Why not?

Rick: Because, people are dangerous these days son.

Carl: Not everyone is!

Rick: Did you see what people the Governor did to us?

Carl: Yes, But dad, not everyone is the Governor.

Rick just nodded his head and decided to let it go since some walkers were approaching them.

Michonne was checking the place out and saw her katana sitting on top of a shelf she was happy and relieved to see it. For the longest she hated that sword but, right now she is happy to actually get hands on it. Michonne grabbed her sword and headed out she saw bunch of people just sitting around laughing and chatting but she for the life of her could not understand this place at all.

Governor: Michonne, I see you have found your sword.

Michonne: Yes, I did!

Governor: Why are you not resting?

Michonne: I have done enough resting. I would like to leave now.

As she said this the Governor came real close to her and took her chin she instantly got disgusted by him.

Governor: Don't you want to stay here and keep me some company?

Michonne: I'd rather die.

Governor: You are a feisty woman aren't you (As he grabbed her by her back and pulled her close to him)

Michonne: (Pulls away) Let me go!

Governor pulles her real close to him ans starts whispering in her ear. "Now listen to me carefully you will walk with me and make no noice if you say or do anything stupid I will shoot you with this gun (as he points to his gun belt)"

Michonne listened and started following him she could feel his filthy hands around her and it made her sick to her stomach she wanted to kill him right now. The Governor proceeded to walk her into his little room of pleasure. He put her next to the bed and took her katana away from her placing it on the table.

Governor: Now Michonne, You will do exactly as I tell you.

Michonne: Like hell I will. (shouts angrily)

Governor: But see Michonne if you don't do as I say I will kill you.

Michonne: Not if I kill you first.

Governor: (laughs) you do have a lot of balls for a little tiny woman. Now let me tell you what's going to happen you will take your clothes off and you will lay in that bed behind you.

As the Governor was talking all Michonne could think of was taking her katana and killing this nasty fool. She jumped up scratched him by his eye and proceeded to grab her katana. As she reached out for it she felt this sharp pain in her leg she didn't even realize that at this point the Governor has shot her in the leg. She ignored the pain and grabbed the katana and slashed him right in his eye. As the Governor screamed and fell on the floor Michonne ran for the door holding her bleeding leg. When she got out she saw the wall they tried to stop her but before they knew she killed all four of them and got over the wall. She was in so much pain that she could barely run but, she knew this was the only way she had to get out of this place. She ran to the forest and kept running as fast as she could consider the pain she was in. After running for about fifteen minutes she eventually fell to the ground. She hadn't even realized that her shirt was ripped off her. She took the other half on the bottom of her shirt and ripped it off and placed it around her bleeding leg. She knew the bullet went through and thought to herself that's good but she needed antibiotics and some stiches. But, she couldn't even move. After bleeding so much she eventually just passed out.

Rick, Daryll, and Carl had made it to a little house picked up all the cans they found and were headed back when they could hear someone making faint noices.

Rick: Daryll, did you hear that?

Carl: I heard something this way.

Carl was the first one to start running towards the noise.

Rick: Carl, wait!

Carl ran and saw something on the floor as he got closer and closer he could see his beautiful African American woman just lying in blood on the floor he approached her as Rick came running towards him "Carl wait for us don't go that close" Rick was always worried about Carl too much. "Dad, it's a human she seems hurt" As Rick and Daryll approached they noticed this beautiful woman on the floor just beaten up and bleeding.

Daryll: Was she bit?

Rick got real close to her started touching her to see if she was bit anywhere but couldn't see any bite marks.

Michonne lay helpless on the ground and was in and out all of a sudden she could feel someone talking someone touching her so she instantly grabbed for her katana thinking that it was the crazy Governor and that he found her.

Rick: Slowdown, who are you?

Michonne: Don't touch me!

Rick: I am not going to hurt you who are you?

Michonne: Does it matter?

Rick: Yes, it does matter what happened to you?

Michonne didn't even get to answer that question she passed out again.

Daryll: So what should we do man, we leaving her?

Carl: We can't just leave her here we can't!

Rick looked at his son he didn't want to disappoint him but he knew they were far from the truck and he couldn't help her.

Rick: Carl we can't afford to carry her we have to head back.

Carl: So what we just leave her here to die?

Rick: She is not going to die she looks like she can handle herself.

Carl: What is wrong with you? This is another human this is a person this is not the walkers we can't leave her here. We have to help her! Please dad!

Rick loved his son so much and he knew that his son was right. Rick was a police man he was supposed to be helping people and not leaving them behind. Shane left him behind and he promised he wouldn't be like that ever. Also, as Rick looked at helpless Michonne his heart got heavy for some reason he couldn't understand but, looking at her just lay there touched his heart.

Rick: Carl, we will take her with us, we will help her. Come on let's get her up and to the truck.

Carl couldn't help but run up to his dad and hug him "thank you dad."

Rick: Sure thing son.

Daryll was also okay with this. He knew that Carl was right this was a human a person not just some walking dead. Rick and Daryll got her by her shoulders and legs and started carrying her to the truck. Since they had cleared the path coming down here it was not as hard getting back to the truck there was couple more walkers to kill but Carl to care of that. When they got into the car Daryll had to put her down to put all the bags into the truck so he had Rick holding on to her. Rick couldn't help but look at her holding her close and how lovely she felt. Rick didn't have this feeling ever before his wife. He felt hurt that she was hurt which was confusing to him. He held her real close and it's like she held on to him helpless but its almost as she felt she was safe in his arms. Rick slowly picked her up and placed her in the car. He made Carl sit in the front and Daryll in the back with her just in case she woke up he didn't want to risk Carl in the back with her. They finally arrived safe to the prison.

Hershall: Who is this what happened to her?

Rick: I have no idea we found her like this in the forest looks like she was shot at.

Maggie: Looks like someone molested her.

As Maggie said that; Rick instantly felt goose bumps come over his whole body. He couldn't figure out why he was feeling such emotions around this strange unknown woman but for some reason the thought of some sick bustard hurting her made him feel sick.

Rick: What do you mean molest her?

Maggie: I mean look at her shirt look at her neck looks like she has been through quite a fight.

Rick couldn't help but look and was just disgusted. That people out there could do such horrible things even during the apocalypse seems to just amaze him. Hershall stitched her up and gave her some IV.

Hershall: She should be waking up in a little while. She was lucky that the bullet came right through otherwise she would have lost her leg for sure. Or more likely she would have been dead by now. She seems like a tough one. Rick, you did good by bringing her in I mean saving a life.

Rick: (scoffs) Well, I didn't want to Carl did!

Hershall: You can't tell me that you would have just left her back there all alone.

Rick: I probably would have.

As he said that he knew deep down inside that was a lie he couldn't have left her because, for whatever reason he felt very attached to her but, it was making him angry that he is feeling this way.

Michonne lay there everything started moving as she is opening her eyes. All she could see was a beautiful messy bearded and beautiful blue eyes just staring real close at her.

Rick: Hello, I am Rick can you hear me?

Frightened Michonne looked around and could not see anyone else as everything was spinning so she focused on this beautiful guy in front of her. "Where am I?"

Rick: You are at a prison with a group of people, we found you out in the forest. Can you hear me?

Michonne: I can hear you, can you please help me up?

Rick: Of course (as he put his arm under her and lifted her up) He couldn't help but look her in the eyes and feel so much emotions so he backed away from her)

Michonne couldn't stop looking back at him and for some reason she felt instant connection with him. She found it very disturbing especially since she had not felt this way since Mike. And, she diffidently didn't feel nothing when she got rescued by sick Governor.

Rick: So will, you tell me what your name is?

Michonne: I am Michonne.

Rick: What happened to you?

Michonne: I was in the forest I passed out I guess and this Governor rescued me (she lied about just passing out in the forest; she didn't want to mention that she was trying to get killed.) The Governor shot me in the knee as I was getting away from him.

As Michonne said Governor Rick felt his skin just curl up and instant anger got all over his body. He couldn't help but think about what he has done with the prison and how he lost his wife thanks to him and the thought of him out there still just killing people made him sick to his stomach.

Rick: You need to rest a little bit more and then we can talk about this Governor guy. For now I will lock you in this cell so you don't do anything stupid. I will be back!
