Chapter 4

We walk through the tall grass back towards the barn, Maggie leads the way with Aaron in the middle, then I'm behind him, I have my gun out just incase. Aaron tries to speak to us telling how'd we would have to audition in order to get into this community. Maggie tells him to stay quiet, reason being if anyone from the group hears him, they're gonna think he's there's to threaten the family without hearing us out first. Knowing with what happened at Terminus, Rick isn't gonna trust just any gonna hear some stranger out and trust them that easily, Rick is gonna need hardcore proof before he puts us in danger.

As we near the barn, Maggie nods towards me, I start to pat down Aaron for weapons as he starts to squirm, wondering what I'm doing.

"Knowing our leader, he's gonna want us to check for weapons,before we bring you around is children." Maggie firmly whispering to aaron so that only her, I and him can hear.

"If I wanted to hurt, any of guys I would have been done it." Aaron looking at Maggie in her eyes, I can tell he was telling the truth but it's not our call to make.

"Again it's not our decision" Maggie explained to Aaron, one thing I realized is that he's very stubborn "Sash did you find a anything?" Maggie now turning the focus onto me.

"Yeah" I handed her the hand gun and knife, that he had in his pockets.

Okay let's go." Maggie put the gun into her back pocket and the knife into her belt loop, as we closer to the barn, it was still quiet but I highly doubt, everyone was still sleeping.

We reached the barn, Maggie opened the barn door and started to speak "Hey guys" Maggie making sure she got everyone attention as she walked into the barn first "This is Aaron" Everyone put their gun into position, getting ready to shot the "intruder". Aaron turns arounds to look at me, I gave a look that said 'told you this would happen'. Daryl brushes us three, goes outside the barn to check, if anyone has possible followed us then he gets in front of me, I move a little bit so he could have more room as he researchers Aaron just in case we missed any weapons. As he, was doing Maggie was speaking "We met him outside, we checked him and we took all of his weapons." Maggie telling everyone mainly Rick that Aaron wasn't a bad guy. I see Tara closing the barn door, out of the corner of my eye, Daryl is still shielding me from Aaron just in case, I know Aaron wouldn't do anything to harm me, at this point but Daryl didn't know that, in Daryl's eyes he's protecting the last thing that means so much to him. Quietness, takes over the barn, as Aaron is looking over the group of people that is standing in almost every inch of the barn. Judith starts to cry, noticing the tension in the room she reaches for Carl who takes her, and starts to soothe her to keep her quiet, that may attract any walker that didn't get pick up from the storm.

"Hey" Aaron starts to speak with his hands still up in surrender "NIce to meet you" Aaron steps closer to Rick but everyone moves closer to Aaron. Daryl has an hand on my waist, so he knows how far I am from him. I put my hand on his, take it into my hand.

"You said he had a weapon" Rick spoke for the first time in a while. Maggie walks over to Rick, to give him the weapon, that was Aarons. "There something you need" As, Rick started to check the gun.

"He has a camp, near by he wants us to audition to get in" I told Rick what Aaron told us, when he saw us in the clearing.

"Well….I wish there was another word for it, audition makes it seem like we're some dance group, that's only on friday nights" Aaron trying to make a joke out of the situation. "And it's not a camp, it's a community, I think you all would make valuable additions to the community. MY job is to convince yall to follow me back home, but I know if I were you, I wouldn't either not until I knew what I was getting myself into." Aaron trying to convince an convinced Rick.

"Sasha can you hand Rick my pack?" Aaron asked me. As I was removing the pack off my back, I felt Daryl hand tighten on mine, I looked up into his eyes my eyes saying Let me give this to Rick, I'll be right in eyesview. He lets go of my hand, but puts his crossbow at the back of Aaron head, just in case. I go over to Rick, to give him the backpack then go back to my spot behind Daryl, I put my hand on his arm, telling him to lower his crossbow. Aaron realized our interaction, he looked like he was gonna say something, but figured it was wise if he was to keep his mouth shut. I don't think, he wants to end up like the last guy.

Flashback

It was a cloudy day at the prison, Daryl and I were outside, checking the inventory for the guns in the bins that we kept outside only during the day. Daryl was counting and I was writing them down in a notebook. Everyone had there own gun, but usually just incase, Rick would like us to double check so no one is getting more than one gun. Usually we would rotate different people, it was supposed to be Maggie and I, but Maggie asked Daryl Can he take her shift, so she could go onto watch with Glenn. I was shocked to hear wake me up this morning, so we could get this started and possibly done by lunch.

"Thats weird" As I looked at the previous pages of the inventory then I looked at yesterday

"What Newbs?" Daryl asked me.

"There are some guns missing"

"How many?"

"About th-" before I could answer a guy from Woodbury, bumped into me, I sucked my teeth and looked in the guy direction but it wasn't me who said anything "You could say sorry to Sasha" Daryl getting into the guy face.

"If I don't" The guy looking at Daryl than at me "whatcha gonna do about it" The guy sizes up Daryl, this guy should know if you challenge Daryl, just get prepared.

Daryl grabs the guy my the collar of his shirt, and put him up the wall "Say sorry now" Daryl holds the guy more higher off the wall.

"Dary don't" I put my hand on his arm, he starts to lower the guy but doesn't let him go "He's not worth it"

Daryl lets go of the guy but with a slam against the ground, slowly some people who were walking around started to stop and stare. "Go while you got the chance" Daryl turns around seeing the few people behind us "What yall lookin at?" Daryl starts putting the guns back into the bin, gras his crossbow and walks away angrily. I close the notebook, go back to C-block, go into Rick cell and put the notebook under his mattress, so he could the inventory for this morning and give the notebook to whoever is bringing in the guns later.

Later that night

I'm leaving the showers and on my way back to C-block to my cell. I wonder through the maze of hallways, while towel drying my hair. As, I was walking I heard a noise coming from behind me, I turned around to see that there no one there. I turned around and quicken my pace, even though this side of the prison is secured, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a walker that got in somehow. I keep walking, when I feel a hand go over my mouth and pulls me into the darkest corner, I try to scream but can't. He puts me up against the wall, I see his blue eyes glowing in the night. I try to push him away, but he takes my wrist and holds it down and puts his legs covering mine so i can't kick him.

As his hand is still over my mouth I try to scream, he laughs "No one is here to help you even your lover boy" He says in a creepy whisper, I feel him lightly graze a knife across my cheek, then he licks the knife….I realized that this was the guy that bumped into me earlier today….the guy from woodbury. I hear the sound of the gun clicked, and the barrel of the gun go on my temple. "I hated you when you, were in woodbury. You thought you were so perfect, you walked around with your head held high because you were a 'wonderful' sniper. I worked hard to be put on watch at Woodbury but you just came into Woodbury and took that from me." He angrily holding the gun tighter to my head, I felt the tears from my eyes flow down my face. "Oh now the not so brave Sasha is crying. Well my daughter, was crying when you didn't help her from those walkers during yall run." My eyes go wide at the memory of his daughter getting bitten by walkers. I remember going to him, telling him how sorry I was and that I wished it was me. "I hope, you said goodbye to your brother, sometime today he'll be feeling my pain." He clicks the gun getting ready to shot me. I close my eyes, waiting for the bullet for go through my temple but it never does.

I hear the sound of him choking on his own blood, I tried to open my eyes but i couldn't bring myself to open them, I then felt someone pull into a hug and then they start leading me out of the corner and into the hallway. We walk until we reach my cell, everyone must be seeping because it's still so quiet. I feel the person lay me down onto the bottom bunk, and put the cover over me, I grab the pillow that underneath my head and cry into it. I hear whispers from what sounds like two males and a female, I hear the two set of footsteps walk away. Then I hear the other person, take off their shoes and crawl into my bunk with me.

The person turns me around, takes the pillow out of grib, put me into their chest. I cry harder unaware of who I was crying into...that's when the person spoke "Shhh it's okay Newbie, I got you, I'm here, I got cha...as long as I'm here no one will hurt you. I promise" Daryl whispered into my ear, as he kissed the top of my head, he starts to rub my back in order to calm.

I realized that I am safe with Daryl.

End of Flashback

That's when Aaron started to speak up again about the community. I roll my eyes, I knew he was trying explain himself but Rick wasn't having it, because Rick got up from his squatting position and punched Aaron in the face.

There were some changes that I made. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and please let me know about the flashbacks. So please enjoy and review.

Once they get to Alexandria, I will be changing it up a bit. I know Sasha death in the show but I'm thinking that I don't want her to die in the my story, so someone could possibly take her death
