They obviously hadn't been there long and both groups stood holding guns too each other neither willing to surrender first, "Lower your guns, there are too many of us for you too handle." Rick yelled with a gun pointed at Matthew,

"Look we don't want any trouble, we've just been looking for somewhere to stay."

"Sorry but we're full, you will have to leave." Rick said sternly.

Daryl had walked and stood to the side of the men, Cece kept behind the men so they couldn't see her. "Think it's time you fellas left," Daryl said aiming his crossbow directly at Matthew, Daryl had made this personal and he didn't want this guy anywhere near Cece. "We can't do that, this is the most secure place we've seen. We're not leaving."

"Rick they could be with Woodbury," Glenn said abruptly.

With a stern look on his face Rick looked like he was going to shoot Matthew there and now, finally deciding it was time to speak up Cece walked in eye line with Matthew so the gun his gun was pointing at her.

"Cece," he said with angst in his face "what, what are you doing here?" Cece didn't answer, "Will you lower your gun," hesitating for a minute he did and the other men followed. "Rick's it okay," Cece said turning to him, after a long moment he lowered his gun and everyone followed however Daryl didn't completely retreat.

"What are you doing here Matthew?"

"We, er, we been looking for somewhere too go, somewhere safe," Matthew said as tears filled his eyes and he crept forward to embrace Cece, she edged back and he stopped in his tracks. "I thought you were dead." He said becoming anxious and taking another hesitant step towards her, "I thought they'd killed you, we tried to find-"

"Not now" Cece said sternly, "Look why don't you wait over there and I'll talk to the group okay?" Pain filled Matthews eyes and she tried to ignore the part of her that desperately wanted to hug him. Reluctantly he complied and Cece turned to Rick and the other members noticing that not even half of them were there. After explaining who they were Rick seemed to ease up slightly, obviously thankful they weren't from Woodbury. "You need to talk to them, explain the situation we can't have another group joining us, we're having a tough enough time protecting each other." Cece nodded and starting walking away, "hey" Daryl said grabbing her arm, "if you need me just give me a signal." She smiled at him and walked over. It was the Ben who broke the silence first giving Cece a surprising hug, "good too see you again C," Cece had liked Ben when she was with the group but they hadn't been close. "Yeah thanks guess your weren't expecting to see me." She said slightly sarcastically. She didn't recognise the other man and but he didn't looking too inviting. "This is Harry, he joined us shortly after you, er left."

Giving him a quick nod Cece got straight too it, "What are you doing here Matthew, where's the group?"

"They didn't make it?"

"Their all dead?" Cece asked stunned.

Matt nodded his head, "there was an attack, like nothing we had seen before, it was only us three that made it out." Cece's heart jumped, these people had been her home for a long time, "so what are you doing now?" "Looking for somewhere secure and safe." Looking back to the group Cece could see Daryl's eyes on her, "Okay, I'll talk to the group, wait here." Walking away Matthew followed her and ran in front of her, "Cece you have too know they were going to kill everyone, I didn't think there was any way of getting you back, if I did, I-" Putting her hand up to stop him she interrupted, "You don't have to explain yourself too me, you did what was best for the group, you left me." Matthews put his hands in his long brown hair, "Look I'll talk to the group," she finally said before walking away.

Rick had settled on them staying in the other cell block and after some debate they complied. Cece, Rick and Daryl walked them to their part of the prison, "Sorry we have too do this but we have a hard time trusting people these days."

"If Cece trusts you then so do I." Matthew said watching her standing back slightly

"What makes ya think he trusts ya?" Daryl said abruptly.

"Are you saying she doesn't?" Matthew said defensively.

"She don't and I don't" Daryl said with disgust in his voice.

"And what do you know about how she feels?" Matthew had began to get defensive clearly threatened by Daryl.

"I'm just saying. We found her tied up and beaten, waiting to die and that's on you."

"And I don't need reminding of that!" Matthew stepped towards Daryl, being the same height they were level with each other. Cece walked between the two men and looked at Daryl, "just leave it," she pushed him to walk away. Rick sighed, locked them in and walked with Daryl and Cece "that guys an ass," Daryl said and Rick laughed.

"Try not to let your personal issues cloud you judgment Daryl."

"Yeah seriously you more pissed off with him then I am," Cece said mockingly. "Shut up," He said pulling her into him and messing with her hair. Looking back briefly she could see Matthew staring at their exchange. Remembering his intensity and jealously, Cece couldn't shake the feeling she was in big trouble.
