"You can turn around if ya like, but that's all your gonna do." Melody warns.

Michonne turns around slowly. She stares down the barrel of a pistol held by the mass of flame red hair and freckles that is Melody. She remembers the instability of the girl and keeps an expressionless stare despite her furry underneath. She uses what she thinks to be a truth about Melody as a way to talk her down. "Your husband is long gone, there's no part of him that's still alive. Your delusional if you think-"

"You can stop right there." The redhead quickly cuts her off then decides to share some information. "I was sent here by a man you might know. Tall, handsome, could double as a pirate with that eye patch." Melodie smiles at Michonne's tense realization. So she wasn't just paranoid, Melody must have been in the prison, spying for him.

"You can't imagine the things he has in stored for you." Melody says with a firm finger on the trigger. "Sadly I don't think he'll let me have my way with you before hand. This sexy body of yours is just gonna go to waste." The entire time Melody is willing herself to further this pretense. She hates that she has to treat Michonne in such a way, but she needs to, she needs this armor in order to go through with this mission. Melody walks around Michonne and slowly drags the tip of her gun down Michonne's spine.

Michonne balls her hands into fists as her breathing becomes quicker but not of fear, just of pure unfiltered annoyance. When she looks at Melody she sees nothing short of a girl barely out of her teens. Michonne doesn't doubt her own ability to disarm her, but the entire time she feels this girl is putting on a show for her. "You don't know what you're getting yourself into with that man. He's insane, you think you have some alliance with him? He'd kill you in a second. You're just his pawn." Michonne speaks in an untroubled manner.

Melody comes into Michonne's line of vision again and clenches her jaw aiming the gun at her forehead. "A pawn is something you can control. I'm more prone to do whatever I want. You'd be smart to remember that." Melody speaks trying to feel control within the moment because she knows her warrior woman is right. Phillip is crazy and evil but what can she say for herself? Melody reveals a pair of sliver handcuffs and tosses them at Michonne who catches them in her hands leering at the redhead.

Rick, Daryl, Tyreese, and now Glenn who had Carol take his place with Maggie at the prison, are together scanning the area. Suddenly Daryl ducks behind a tree as does Rick, catching onto his sudden caution. Glenn and Tyreese take notice and lowers their stance.

"What do you see?" Rick whispers over at Daryl, "eight men armed and just waiting around."

"What do you think they're waiting for?" Tyreese questions.

"I don't know" Daryl answers as he loads a bolt, "but we aint letting them get us before we get them." Rick turns his head looking around the tree he's up against, his eyes widen as he sees the man who's giving them orders. The trio watch Rick's body language, he looks like he's willing to murder in the moment. Daryl peaks around and sees the Governor walking off, he wants nothing more then to blast an arrow in his head but he's too far out of range.

Rick looks to his small group. "They're the Governor's men." Glenn's eyes swell as he prepares himself as does Tyreese. Rick turns his head towards the opposite direction squinting his eyes watching the Governor walk further into the distance.

Rick flips open his gun checking the amount of bullets he has left. Its more then enough if he gets to The Governor before he can see him coming. "Daryl, Tyreese, Glenn, spread apart and take em all out. Rick is only over confident because most of the men are just toying around with their guns like they've never had one in their hands before. "I'm going for The Governor." The three nod and maneuver around for better shooting angles.

The Governor's men are ill prepared, hardly even holding their guns in place but they are now, after an arrow pierces through the throat of their companion furthest to the left. They jump and shoot off in all directions. Bullets are flying back and forth but its only The Governor's men that are wiping out. One spots Glenn and shoots at the tree he's hiding behind, another spots Tyresse and shots at him, a bullet grazing his arm.

"Ty you alright?" Daryl calls out.

Tyresse grunts "yea I'm fine, just keep shooting."

"Didn't I tell you I'd get the job done." Melody boasts standing in the background as Phillip is starring at a vulnerable Michonne who's out cold slumped down against a tree with her wrists cuffed together in her lap. Phillip's smile is wide and his eyes light up, "I've waited so long for this."He's tense as a rock but calm as he reaches for Michonne, but Melody's hands affectionately glides along his shoulders then down his arms as he stands and she forcefully turns him around to face her. "I did well didn't I? Tell me I've finally proven myself to you."

He smiled at her and nods his head moving his hands up to caress her neck. She's gripping him tightly as if she doesn't want him to move. "You did so well." He assures her then watches the worry in her eyes briefly dart to Michonne behind him. "And now your going to get exactly what you deserve." He grabs her throat with both hands strangling the young redhead, she claws at his hands around her throat desperately. She's limp and feels her knees on the ground. She closes her eyes but opens them hearing a blood curdling gargle. She feels his hands loosen around her neck, as he coughs up a large amount of blood on her face. Squeezing her eyes shut she turned her head to the side with disgust and pries his fingers from her throat as he falls over onto the ground. He looks up seeing Michonne standing above him, flinging her cuffs aside as she watches the pool of blood thickly gushing from his neck. She's the last thing he sees just as the life leaves his sight.

Rick runs like he's an animal born to the outdoors. He's light on his feet and quick, but not quick enough to spot the Governor anymore who had to much of a lead. The only thing he can do is keep in that direction. He readies his gun looking around the area. Feeling something in the distance to his left he turns and he aims his gun ahead of him. His gun hand lowers when he sees Michonne, but then he sees Melody who's lugging behind a zombiefied Governor that's had his arms and lower jaw hacked off.

Michonne and Melody are walking through the woods. Michonne is starring at Melody the entire time, which bother's the redhead. The further they get into the woods the more uneasy Melody becomes, every step draws more attention to her hesitation.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"I'm trying to figure out how you become this way?"

"Stop talking to me."

"Why? I'm gonna be dead pretty soon. Whatever you tell me is going straight to the grave."

"Shut up!" She screams then whispers words she thinks Michonne wont except from her. "I'm sorry...so sorry."

"How can you follow a man that makes a child do his dirty work? How old are you? 19 at the most?" Michonne continues.

"Stop it! I don't want this for you. I want you to be safe but I can't come back from this."

"Melody I can forgive you, we can both go back, nothing has happened yet."

Melody stops and faces Michonne. "Do you really think I want him to hurt you? I don't want him to lay a finger on you." Each word in Melody's confession comes with a fearsome tremble and tears accumulating at the bottom of her eyelids. "He told me to sneak into the prison and spy on you. I heard you talking about your son. You lost your family and I did too, I felt bonded to you for some reason. You know loss like I do." Melody doesn't let a single tear fall, but everything she feels is real and she wishes she could cry. She was a child who wanted to play an adult game, but now she just wants to flee.

"You say you don't want me hurt-"

"I don't. I want to protect you but he's..."

"You can help me get him. We can go as planned but he dies not us. Melody if I could trust you with this, you wouldn't have to feel alone anymore. He has a hold on you I can see that, but this doesn't have to go down his way."

Melody lowers her gun, she slips her hand into her pocket revealing the key to the handcuffs, she approaches Michonne and slides the tiny key into the side pocket of Michonne's jeans. "When you're ready, do you think you can get yourself out of those cuffs quick enough?" Melody asks and gains relief when Michonne nods her head.
