TWO:

Anna flipped her knife in her hand, scanning a quick look over the group again before starting for the door. She knew she was going to have to act quickly and smartly if she was going to get both herself and the group out alive.

They ran down the hallway, towards where the weapons were usually stored. When Anna peered into the room she caught sight of one of Gareth's men-Joe-rushing towards her.

"Anna! What are you-" he was cut off by the knife being thrown at his throat.

"Didn't like you either." admitted Anna, pulling the knife from his throat with a cringe.

Rick cast a sideways glance at her, and Daryl did the same, only Daryl raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to speak.

"Did you like anyone?" came Daryl's voice.

Anna looked over her shoulder at him before shrugging, "Not really. You do what you can to survive."

Daryl 'humphed' before Anna gestured to the weapons.

"Get what you need and let's go." Anna took a fearful glance at the side door, hoping no one would enter.

Everyone grabbed what was theirs and a few more things, before Anna led them outside.

What laid before her was a terrifying sight. Dead were walking inside the place she once thought was a sanctuary but ended up as a prison. Fires were raging up from different things and she caught sight of men racing about killing both the dead or escapees.

"This way." Anna whispered, jogging down towards the shadow of the buildings, knowing that it would be harder to spot them.

They killed what they met, having to duck at some points because more gunfire rang out, directed at the moving bodies.

"Shit." Anna suddenly cursed, her stomach falling into nervous knots. "I have to go get something. Continue down this path and you'll come across the train car. I wish you luck and maybe we'll meet again."

Anna gave them no time to respond before she crouched and ran back the way they had come, dodging the light to avoid being seen.

She made her way back into the building and towards the stairwell, where she was about to start running up when a voice stopped her.

"Anna!" It was Gareth, and he sounded relieved. "They didn't get you yet."

She turned on her heel, guilt building inside her heart. Here was the man she had betrayed for a bunch of strangers.

"Yeah," she was able to get out, her throat tightening. "they didn't get me yet."

Gareth smiled, and gave her a quick hug and kiss on the temple. "That group?"

Anna flushed, eyes darting away from his in attempt to come up with a lie. "There was a scream. I went to investigate. When I came back they were gone and Mark and Jay were dead."

Gareth frowned, his dark eyes hardening. "I won't let them take this place."

Anna nodded silently, unsure of to stay or to run. A part of her screamed to run up that staircase and get what she came in for and the other part insisted that she shouldn't move. Her mind swirled, unsure of what to do.

"I know." Anna swallowed thickly, her eyes finally meeting his. "I trust you."

Gareth's frown was replaced by a grin. It seemed that from the beginning he had gained her trust, and he took pride in have it; especially in this crazy mess of a world.

Suddenly, Anna threw her arms around Gareth's neck, holding him close. She tried not to cry, to keep her tears within herself as it would just give her away. She blinked hard, and only her glassy eyes were evidence of her tears.

"I love you, Gareth." she whispered into his neck, holding him tighter as if he would fade away.

Her situation was not any better, as she would lose Gareth in running away. She hated herself for it, but she also thankful that she was leaving Terminus. Besides Gareth, it had done nothing but bad things for her.

Confused, and mistaking her tenderness as fear, he whispered, "I love you, too, Annabelle."

Anna took a step back, looking into his eyes. With one shred of courage left, she kissed him full on the mouth, with all the love for him she could muster.

She knew she would have to let go.

Gareth pulled away first, and put their foreheads together. "We'll get through this."

Anna managed a small smile, not doubting him. "I know."

They stood together for a moment more before they regained a sense of what was going on around them.

"I'm going to get Jenny." said Anna, taking a step towards the stairs. "I'll meet up with you later." she lied.

Gareth nodded. "Stay safe."

"You, too."

And they parted ways, Gareth running towards the other end to get more weapons and to get to the rooftop and Anna to get Jenny.
