I couldn't believe my eyes. Glenn. He was all bloodied and bruised. He looked like he had been used as a punching bag.

Merle, the man who had talked to me before, and a different man stood in the room they had Glenn in. They had brought me, topless and scared. But at least none of them had marked me. Just by looking at Glenn I knew it was going to take days, probably weeks, before he was back to normal... if we lived that long.

At the sight of me, the way they had me, anger flared in Glenn's eyes. Raising the piece of broken wood in the air, he went to attack.

"Drop it." the new guy pointed his gun at me.

Glenn froze, the anger disappearing as helplessness took over. He dropped his weapon.

"We're through with games." the man who had talked to me said. I could tell he was the leader. "Now one of you is gonna give up your camp."

Glenn and I shared a look, both of us shaking our heads.

The leader cocked his gun, putting it to my head. When he saw that did nothing he let go of me and took the few steps between us and Glenn, pointing his gun at him instead.

I stepped forward. "The prison." I broke. I couldn't even think about them hurting Glenn, let alone see them actually shoot him in front of me.

Merle and the other man stopped me from getting closer to Glenn and the leader.

"The one near Nunez?" Merle asked.

The other guy couldn't believe it. "That place is over run."

Looking into Glenn's eyes, seeing the light fade as he realized what just happened, I spoke again. "We took it."

"How many of there are you?" the leader asked, gun still raised at Glenn's head.

"Ten." I swallowed hard. "We have ten now."

"Ten people cleared that whole prison of biters? Huh?" I couldn't tell if my answer angered or surprised the leader as he looked between us. When he saw both of us had nothing to say he lowered his gun, moving to the door behind me. He stopped, coming to my side.

I cried, not wanting him to touch me, but knowing I couldn't move.

"Hey, hey. Shh..." his hand brushed my cheek. "It's all right." he brought me face to him as he pulled me into his embrace, stroking my hair. "It's all right." I tired to pull back, but he held me. "Shh..." he kissed my head. "It's all right."

The whole time I watched Glenn as he struggled with himself. He wanted to fight, to fight for me. But we both knew that if any of us did anything, things would get so much worse.

The leader let go of me, his hand resting on my back as he pushed me towards Glenn. I willingly went forward, glad to be away from him and back with the one I loved.

Glenn wrapped me in his arms, holding me as I sobbed.

The door creaked behind us, and Glenn suddenly moved. "What about Vickie?"

I looked over, still sobbing, to see Merle standing in the door way. He didn't say anything, just closed the door.

The big black man from before came into the room, followed by another man I had never seen before. They headed towards me, and I back up until I was pressed against the wall.

"Get up." the other man said. He was shorter and tan, Latino looking. He grabbed my arm, pulling me to my feet.

"Where's Merle?" I asked, frantic. "What are you doing?"

I suddenly felt rope being tied around my wrists at my back. "We're taking you to the others." he mumbled, the black guy not saying a word, just holding his gun.

"To Glenn and Maggie?" I turned my head around to look at him better. "Are you letting us go?"

"Something like that." he said before pushing me forward. "Lets go."

...

"Let him go!" I heard Maggie yell as we came around a corner.

There was grunting that sounded like Glenn, and then Merle's voice. "Okay."

We walked around to see the three of them, and another man though he was dead. Glenn was on the ground, Merle kneeling above him with his hands- or well hand- up, Maggie pointing a gun at him.

But Merle was smiling. He knew we had been coming, and he knew there was nothing Maggie and Glenn could now do.

Once we had left my room we had been joined by a few other men, one of which guided me as the Latino man was handed a gun. Now, in front of Glenn, Maggie and Merle, he raised the gun, just like the others.

Merle stood. "Give me the gun!" he yelled, snatching the gun from Maggie before kicking Glenn. "Get up!"

Glenn groaned and I could tell he wasn't able to get up. "Untie me." I told Merle, voice strong and confident. "Untie me so I can help him. I promise I won't do anything."

Merle looked from me, to Glenn, to the men behind me, and then back to me. "Fine. Untie her."

The others did as they were told, allowing me and Maggie to help Glenn up. They directed us into the room, which I recognised as the room they had put Glenn in at the beginning. Once we were in, we were ordered to get down on our knees.

I knelt by Maggie, but kept my eyes forward. I knew what was coming, and I wasn't going to give these monsters the satisfaction of hearing me beg or seeing me cry. If I was going to die, I was going to do it with dignity.

Merle circled us. I could feel Maggie's fear as she cried next to me. The men tied up our hands once more only this time in front of us, as Merle talked.

"Been really great seeing you again. Glad we could catch up." Merle stood behind me. "And of course, it's been nice meeting the two of you ladies."

"Just keep looking at me." Glenn told Maggie, followed by another of her sobs.

"I love you." in the corner of my eyes I could see the two of them looking at each other, just as a bag was put over her head.

Merle moved to crouch in front of me. "Sorry it's ending this way. I would have loved to chat more, but I think it's time we say good bye."

I glared at him, spitting in his face.

He wiped it off, laughing. Suddenly his fist slammed into my gut. I fell on to my back, gasping for air.

"Don't you touch her!" Glenn yelled just as a bag was being pulled over his head.

Merle ignored him, grabbing my arm and yanking me up. He said nothing, just looked into my eyes as a bag was placed over my head, leaving me sightless.

Rick walked through a door, gun raised, as we moved to where the gun shots had been coming from. I was pretty sure we were close. Inside a building where we had seen no one else. It was plain and barely furnished. As if it wasn't used by the whole community. Somewhere the dirty work could be done.

We came to a corner, and Rick looked around, only to come back and press himself against the wall. He waited a few seconds before looking again.

With the coast clear he moved on, gun raised once again. We moved only a few feet to the next wall, where there was a window. Crouching down, all four of us listened as we heard someone's voice.

"Been really great seeing you again. Glad we could catch up." that voice sounded so familiar... "And of course, it's been nice meeting the two of you.

"I love you." we could hear Maggie, and we knew for sure that at least her and Glenn were in that room.

"Sorry it's ending this way. I would have loved to chat more, but I think it's time we say good bye." the familiar voice said. There was a moment of silence before the sound of a punch, and a pain filled groan filled my ears.

Vic!

"Don't you touch her!" Glenn yelled.

No one said anything for a while, I looked to Rick, seeing him clench his jaw. I knew for sure he could tell it had been Vic who had groaned.

"On your feet, move. Let's go, come one." we could hear them walking, getting out of the room.

Looking at each other, Rick sighed. "Shit." we all reached for the smoke bombs.

Oscar and the woman moved back to the other corner as Rick got up and threw his first smoke bomb. I quickly threw mine as well, following them around the other corner so we weren't seen.

There was an explosion followed by a number of shouts and coughing.

Quickly we all moved around, gun raised as we went for Maggie Glenn and Vic.

Rick grabbed Glenn as all the men coughed, on the ground. I had my gun raised ready to shot. That was until I saw Vic.

One side of her face was badly bruised and swollen. Her hands were tied, though she had pulled the bag off her head. I could see the pain in her eyes as she moved towards me, a limp in her step.

I lowered my gun, reaching out for her as I pulled her close to me. "Come on, we'll get you outta here." I told her, following the others.

Daryl kept one arm around me, the other holding his gun. I stayed by his side as all seven of us made our way out of the building Glenn, Maggie and I had been locked up in. Dad and Maggie helped Glenn as he found it hard to walk let alone run. Oscar was with us, gun raised as he looked around for any threat. Then there was the woman who I had never seen before. But I didn't ask questions as my mind was set on getting out of there.

"Inside, quick!" dad told us as we got to a building. We all filed in, Daryl never letting go of me.

Glenn fell to the floor, scooting over so he could lean on something. Maggie was right there with him, ready to help if he needed it.

Oscar followed us, gun up as he scanned the place. I could see Daryl doing the same, only his gun was lowered, so he could hold me. Dad came in next, moving around to check the place.

Daryl and I moved to the back of the room, seeing a dead end. No doors or windows. "Ain't no way out back here." he told them.

"Rick, how did you find us?" Maggie asked, her voice a little too loud. But I didn't blame her, we were all panicked and alert.

Dad didn't say anything, just looked to Glenn. "How bad are you hurt?"

"I'll be all right." he answered though just by looking at him I could tell he wasn't all right.

"What about you?" Daryl asked me.

I nodded my head. "Fine."

"Where's that woman?" Maggie asked before Daryl could say anything else to me.

Dad looked around. "She was right behind us." he said before knelling down in front of one of the windows, looking out.

"Maybe she was spotted." Oscar suggested.

Daryl shifted next to me. "Want me to go look for her?"

Dad turned to him. "No. We gotta get them out of here." he gestured to Glenn, Maggie and me. "She's on her own."

"Daryl," Glenn spoke up, his voice full of strianed pain, "this was Merle."

I tensed at the mention of Daryl's brother. The moment I had seen Daryl it was as if I knew that no matter what had happened, I wasn't going to tell him what Merle had done. It wasn't my pace to tell him that his brother had hurt me. Getting between them was something I knew I shouldn't do.

But seeing the way Daryl was looking at Glenn, I could tell things were about to fall apart. It was too late for me to keep the truth from him.

Glenn kept going on. "It was. He did this."

"You saw him?" Daryl asked, needing to know if Glenn was one hundred percent sure.

"Face to face." his face twisted in pain as Maggie kept on helping him put his jacket on. "He threw a walker at me." Daryl let go of me, leaving me to lean against the wall as he stepped closer to Glenn. "He was going to execute us."

"So, my brother's this Governor?"

"No," Maggie answered, finished dressing Glenn, "he's somebody else. Your brother's his lieutenant or something."

"Does he know I'm still with you?"

Maggie nodded as Glenn spoke. "He does now. Rick, I'm sorry. We told him where the prison was. We couldn't hold out."

Dad moved to Glenn, placing a hand on his arm. "Don't. No need to apologise." he said as he patted his leg before going back to the window.

"They're gonna be looking for us." Maggie pointed out just as Daryl came to stand with me once again.

Dad looked away from the window, nodding in our direction. "We have to get back." he turned to Glenn. "Can you walk? We got a car a few miles out."

Glenn sighed, "I'm good."

"All right." Dad said as he and Maggie helped Glenn to his feet.

Stepping away from me again, Daryl moved to them. "Hey, if Merle's around, I need to see him."

"Not now." dad said, voice controlled. "We're in hostile territory."

"He's my brother. I ain't-"

"Look at what he did! Look, we gotta get out of here now."

"Maybe I can talk to him. Maybe I can work something out." Daryl wasn't dropping it, and I could tell dad wasn't giving up either.

"No, no, no. You're not thinking straight." he turned to Glenn before going back to Daryl. He said something that the rest of us couldn't hear, giving me time to think.

Looking at Daryl I couldn't help but remember what Merle had said. Was it the truth? Did Daryl really only say he likes me so he could get revenge on my dad for handcuffing his brother on a roof? It didn't seem possible. But the more I watched him the more I realized how strong his bond with his brother was.

No. I shook my head. Daryl isn't like that, and you know it. He does care for you. Don't you ever think otherwise.

"Yeah." my attention snapped back to reality at the sound of Daryl agreeing with my dad. Whatever had been said, it worked.

I hope you enjoyed, don't forget to review :):)

Love and miss you all xox
