I do not own
The only survivor from the Masters coven hurried as he flew to the closest hideout. The sun was almost rising so he was running out of time. When he made it none of the humans noticed him and sneaked to the leaders' home. The said man sensed him coming and had his gun at the ready when the being burst through the door.
"The Master…has been slain." The survivor said
The Governors eyes widen.
"Impossible. No one is able to kill him. What of the others?" The Governors asked
"We were attack. None of the others…other than myself survived. I was able to escape. It was him Phillip. The Masters first creation." The survivor said
"Dracula? Vlad Dracula is here of all places?" The Governor said in disbelief
"I saw him with my own eyes. He is stronger now. There is even rumor of him able to control the dead now." The survivor said "What are we to do, Phillip?"
The Governor sat down at his chair and tried to form up a plan.
"You know our laws Rufus. He killed the Master he must pay with his life. When the sun sets head to our brothers and tell them the news." The Governor commanded
Rufus bowed his head towards his vampire brother and headed down the basement to sleep. None of them notice a certain woman with dark skin standing outside watching the whole thing from outside.

Before the sun was up T-dog got up early and seek quietly down to the weaponry room. When he got to the door he noticed it was lock and remembered that Vlad and Morgan had two ring keys with them. He started trying to open it with a crowbar till he started to hear growling. Many growls. He turned around and saw the whole pack of hellhounds surrounding him. Their bodies started to transform, eyes glowing red, and teeth sharpen with saliva dripping down their mouth. Fear stir inside him and tried to back away. But moving was his mistake. They charged at him and attacked him, ripping him limb from limb, till there was nothing left. He screamed out loud for help no one came. No one could hear him excepted for Morgan, Angelina, Vlad, Alice and Rick (who thought he was just dreaming it).
Vlad stir from his sleep when he heard a tiny noise coming from his son's crib. Not wanting to wake Alice up he got up and saw that D.J was wide awake again. He smiled when he saw D.J kind of playing with the wooden loin he made him. He picked him up and lay back down on the bed.
"You're an early bird aren't you." Vlad whispered
D.J just looked up at him smiling.
"Look at you. You have your mothers smile and her hair. You have my eyes and my good looks." Vlad said " I swear, I will never let something like that happen to you or your mother or other brother and sister again. I promise my son."
D.J just cooed at him and placed his tiny hands on Vlad's face. Vlad laughed. His laugh woke Alice up and she turned to see Vlad up holding their son.
"When did he wake up?" She asked as she stretched
"Not that long, just a few minutes ago." Vlad said
"Is he hungry?" She asked
"No, just wide awake." He said "And very active too."
"Yup, he's a Dixon alright." She smiled "Merle had told me that Daryl and I were active when we were his age."
Suddenly D.J started to cry a little and Alice knew that he was hungry now.
"Why don't you go and get the kids up. I'll take care of the little one." She said taking D.J from him "Besides I think Rick still needs some help with his problem."
"Alright." He went to kiss her and he felt a tiny hand trying to push him away. He looked down at his son who was laughing and was still trying to push him away.
"Hey, she may be your mother but I saw her first." Vlad smirked
Taking his hand into his the baby just smiled. Giving her another kiss he left so she could feed their son. When he headed down he went to the one cell that was locked. It was the only place they could keep Rick in and control him. He hit the bars a little and Rick woke up.
"How you feeling?" Vlad asked
"Hungry. Very Hungry." Rick said
Vlad nod in understanding and handed him a bottle of animal blood.
"Here, drink all this. It'll help you for the time being." Vlad said "You don't have to worry animal won't turn you. It's like a substitute."
Rick took it and did as he was told. When he finished the bottle Vlad unlocked his cell and he stepped out. When they came around Morgan and Nathan were waiting for them by the entrance.
"We found out who was by the weaponry room." Nathan said
"It was one of Rick's men, T-dog." Morgan said "He sneak down and tried to get in with this."
He held up a crowbar that had a little bit of blood on it.
"What happened to him?" Rick said
"He should have listened to my warning. At nights we have some of the dogs walk around the prison to make sure is alright and safe." Vlad explained "They don't know T-dog scent that well so they must have thought he was an intruder and attack him. But why was he there in the first place."
"I did hear his thoughts loud and clear yesterday Vlad. He wanted us out...and take over this prison." Morgan said
"No…no T-dog wouldn't…" Rick said
"We can hear their thoughts Rick. You can too but you need time to tap into it. T-dog has been thinking of it since he came." Morgan said "He wasn't to be trusted."
"How much of the body is left?" Vlad asked
Morgan and Nathan took them to the morgue and the only thing the dogs left of him were a few limbs and a hand. With no warning Vlad grabbed a bucket and placed the dead limbs inside before he heading out. Wandering what he was up to they followed behind him. When he went in he slammed the door open, almost making a dent in it. Oh yes he was pissed. This was their home and his family. No one threatens them or threatens to take it away from them.
"I warned you people. One of you decided to break our rules and now he had to face the consequences for his actions." He said
Then he slammed the bucket on one of the tables making everyone jump. Glenn took a look and saw pieces of limbs and arm that looked like T-dogs.
"What the fuck happened?" Glenn said
"Your friend woke up after hours and went down to break in the weaponry room." Nathan said, throwing the crowbar on the table next to the bucket.
He and Carlo had a guilt look on their faces and Vlad knew that they knew something about it.
"The dogs found him and thought he was an intruder. This should give you all a true warning not to break our rules and what happens here to traitors. I
hear you have some problems with us now. Yes, I and a few of my groups, including Rick for now, are vampires. Like I told you last night what we do and that its up to you to give us a chance or you can leave the next day." Vlad said "That I don't mind. You are humans. It will take a while for you to trust us and accept what we are. What I do mind is the fact that this person here thought of taking this prison from us. Now listen, all of you. This is our prison. We found it. We spilled the blood and cleaned up the mess. We are the ones that made the gate to keep this place protected. You…you are just guess…for now. Now you are on a thin line. I think you can call it probation. If you do well here and follow our rules you can stay, your part of our group. But.." He said walking around and looked at Carol and Glenn straight in the eye. "If I even smell tertiary off of any of you or think of acting on it I will kill you where you stand. Know this…I have eyes everywhere. The ground and the skies. So believe me when I say this…I will know. I'm not the type of being you want to mess with."
Carol and Glenn looked at the ground in fear and shame. Rick smelled it off them and knew it was true. He knew T-dog had a problem with them being vampires but he didn't think he was planning on taking the prison from Vlad's group. Vlad mentally smirked at their scent of fear and turned back to the group.
"So what's it going to be? Leave and try to find another safe haven or stay and try to get along with us." Vlad said
Rick looked at the others and knew that some wanted to stay. So he stepped up and stood by Vlad.
"My children and I are staying." He said
Vlad nodded
Hershel stood up with Beth and held Maggie's hand.
"My daughter's and I are staying too." He said "Vampires or human, doesn't matter anymore. We are all trying to survive in this world. We need to stick together to help each other out to last longer than the dead."
Maggie looked at Glen and knew he wanted to leave but he wouldn't without her. So he got up and stood next to her, holding her free hand.
"I don't like it that much but…if Hershel and Rick think you can be trusted then I'm willing to start over with you guys." Glen said
Vlad nod his head in understanding and looked at Daryl.
"You already know my answer. As long as they're here I'm staying." Daryl said
Carol looked at him with a shock and hurt look. She didn't want to stay in a place with monsters but she wasn't ready to go off on her own yet. Especially when Sophia is here and alive.
"I'll stay." She said quietly
Vlad nodded but knew he still needed to keep an eye on her. He didn't quite trust her and knew he better keep her away from Sophia. With that said he took the bucket and gave it to Glenn.
"I believe you would like to give him a proper burial. I may be a monster but I'm not THAT heartless." He said
After that he left with Morgan and Nathan behind him.
After what happened everyone had headed to the kitchen for breakfast. Vlad smiled when Alice came down with D.J in her arms and sat next to him. Rick had sat at their table since he was having trouble with his abilities.
"So…how are you holding up Rick?" Alice asked
"It's kind of…" Rick said
"Difficult." Morgan said "We know how you're feeling. The second day is always the hardest. Just hang in there."
Sophia walked in with Ian who was giving Chris a piggy back ride and they were laughing. Carl glared at the closeness she and Ian had in such a short time. He watched them sit down at the table with Dwayne and the other new kids. He wanted to join them and be with kids his age but he didn't know how to anymore. All he ever cared about was protecting himself and the group. He hated the fact that he had to give his gun away. He wanted to try and seek in the weaponry room to get it but after what happen to T-dog he was scared to take the chance. Especially when suddenly the dogs started looking at him, as if they knew.
After breakfast everyone headed out to work. About four hours later Vlad had Rick in the courtyard to help him hold his daughter Judith with his abilities. He was struggling at first of course but Vlad was able to convince him. Rick gently held Judith in his arms and brought her close to his chest slowly.
"See, all you have to do is lower your senses and relax." Vlad said
"I can still hear her heart beat." Rick said
"Yeah, you'll learn to ignore it in time." Vlad said
Alice came into the yard with D.J in her arms and Chris and Sophia by her side.
"Someone wanted to say hi to daddy before he takes his n.a.p." She said
"Love, he's a baby. I doubt he understands the word nap yet." Vlad smiled as he lifted him up
Just as he said that word D.J started whimpering and move a little to get out of his grip.
"You were saying." Alice smirked "I just learned this from his first nap time. He's smart for a two day year old."
"Mom can I go with Uncle Daryl and uncle Merle hunting, please." Chris asked "I'm bored and I missed hunting."
"He gets that from you." Vlad teased as he bounced D.J up and down trying to calm him down
Alice playfully glared at him.
"Can I go too mama? Dwayne got to go last time." Sophia pleaded
"I don't know honey, we're already stock as it is." Alice said "Vlad, what do you think?"
"Well…" He said already gonna say no
"Please." Chris and Sophia pouted
"Okay you two know that doesn't work on me." He smirked
They pleaded again and again until Vlad finally caved in when Alice promised him something he couldn't refuse. After thanking them they hurry to their uncles with the news. When they were out of site Alice turned around and smiled when she saw Judith. She asked Rick if she could hold her and he agreed.
"Oh Rick she is so beautiful. She has your eyes." She said
"Thank you." Rick said
Vlad saw the relief in his eyes when she said that. Thinking what Alice told him may be true. He knew there was a little distance between him and Lori but didn't pry to ask. Now it made sense. Then he looked back at Alice and saw the love she had for the baby girl. He knew she loved D.J with all her heart but he knew that she secretly wanted a girl. He walked up to her and wrapped one arm around her as he kissed her head.
"Maybe next time we should try for a girl." He whispered
"Already thinking about having another one?" She asked
"Like you haven't. Beside I always wanted a big family. And I think Sophia will agree so she wouldn't be the only girl in a family of boys." He said
"Maybe next time." She smiled
He smiled down at her and captured her lips this time. They looked down when they heard the babies mumble. They saw D.J and Judith staring at each other, mumbling as if they were talking. When D.J said something Judith smiled and turned her head to cover her face into Alice's chest.
"Okay is it me or does it look like our son just gave her a pick up line?" Alice asked
"I told you our boy was a ladies man." Vlad laughed "Now come on, son. I know she's the first baby you've seen but there are other babies out there…"
He was cut off when Alice smacked him in the back of the head and glared at him.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence or I'll take back that thing I promise to do with you." She warned him
That shut him and had him pleading for forgiveness. Rick just took back his baby and walked away from the scene, trying not to laugh.

In Woodbury…
After what she saw this morning and the whole walkers in the cages Michonne knew that they needed to get out of this town. But before that could happen she was sent to talk to the head man known as the Governor since she got caught killing the walkers they kept. She knew something wasn't right about him, that he wasn't stable or human as he claimed to be.
"You get off on that?" He asked as he walked to his desk with her sword. "Poking around other people's things? Hmm? We got nothing to hide here."
She mentally scoffed as she sensed that was a lie but still kept her cold mask face on.
"People with nothing to hide don't usually feel the need to say so." She said
"That's fair." He said "We all have our secrets, huh?"
"Like Penny?" She mention, remembering that book she found with all the names he wrote down.
That got him to frown. Emotion of anger and sadness were show in his eyes at the mention of his daughter that he couldn't save or turn in time.
"You know about Penny?" He asked
He needed to know if she knew what he was hiding in his office.
"Then you know I love her." He said
"Bet you say that about all the girls." She claimed
That got him to ease up with a smiling. Knowing that she didn't know anything about his secret.
"You got the wrong idea about me." He said "I'm just a guy trying to do right by the people I care about. Now, you want to leave, Andrea wants to stay. So you want me to take choice out of the equation. You want me to kick you out." He laughed a little. "Actually, I was about to give your sword back. 'Cause you fit in." He said with a serious face. The town people were his food sources but after what happened to the Master he needed people that could fight and he knew that she was perfect to turn. "We've enjoyed having you."
He grabbed her sword and walked over to her. Her eyes followed his every move and ready herself in case he tries to attack.
"This is a real problem for me." He sighed "People follow the rules. And whether or not it's true, they believe it's what keeps them alive. You've turned that upside down. You've broken the rules. If I don't do anything I invite anarchy. How about this? I keep a lid on you little outburst, you join the research team. You obviously have skills and you're not afraid of biters. My head lieutenant, Rufus, will take care of you and then…"
With quick reflexives that he didn't see coming or know that she had, she was able to take back her sword and placed the edge of the blade to his neck. It wasn't sliver but from this angle he knew she'll be able cut off his head. None of them spoke as they had a stare down contest. His eyes flicked a little red but she still saw it and got out of there as she back away. He knew that she was going to be trouble and had to be dealt with. After gathering his senses he had a little talk with Andrea and told her what had happened and that everyone wanted Michonne out. He mentally smirked as he saw the fear and worry in her eyes, knowing that she didn't want to go back out there with no food or shelter. She was an easy target to deceive and knew that she was falling for him. So he used that to his advantage. Michonne will either join them or die once she's in those woods.
After her little talk with the Governor Andrea went to their house that they were staying at, knowing that Michonne was there. Like she thought she was and packing their stuff in a hurry too.
"We gotta talk." She said
"We gotta go." Michonne said
"The Governor told me what happened." Andrea said "Michonne, you can't do things like this. You're freaking people out. You're freaking me out."
But Michonne wasn't even listening as she was packing. She cut Andrea off as she told her that the northeast wall was guarded by a girl and believed that they could escape from there. Andrea tried to calm her down and told her that they weren't prisoners but Michonne didn't believe it. Knowing that once you're here they won't let you leave. But Andrea was still fooled by this place and Michonne can see it. After what took like an hour Andrea finally agree to leave with Michonne and they were about to leave until one of the men asked where they were going. When they told him that they were leaving Michonne thought this would show Andrea that she was right. But to her surprise they opened the gate. It was trick. She knew it was but Andrea didn't.
"Close the gate." Andrea sighed as she was tired
"No." Michonne said
Andrea looked at her with wide eyes and told her that she had to beg the Governor to let her stay. But Michonne didn't care. She knew that man or being was dangerous and he had fooled everyone, even Andrea.
"Are you coming or not?" Michonne asked
"Don't do this." Andrea said "Don't give me an ultimatum. Not after everything."
"Are you coming or not?' Michonne repeated
She could tell that Andrea was torn but she knew the true answer.
"You'd just low me down anyway." She said as she walked around the blonde woman and walked out the gate.
The Governor saw everything from his widow and shook his head with a smirked. He had hoped that Andrea would have been able to keep Michonne here but it looks like he has to kill her. Even if he turned her he had a feeling that she will still try to kill him.

A/N: Sorry it took so long and I hope you liked it. And sorry I had to kill T-dog still.
