Sorry that it took so long, but i haven't been typing until two days ago. I just got distracted by reading several stories instead if typing my own. Thank you all for not going crazing and harassing me about not updating.
Well, not many chapters left, but hope you all enjoy this.
Chapter Twenty Six
The morning brought more than another day; it welcomed the group's new enemy. Willow stood in the covered stairwell to the block while looking at the man by the gate. She glanced at Glenn and Rick in the guard tower.
"What's going on?" Carl asked when he stepped outside.
"Visitors. Do me a favor, and grab Daryl; go to where the wall and fence were down. I just want to make sure nothing's getting in."
"Sure."
Willow heard the door open and close again. The man at the gate stopped staring at the tower and kept a gaze on the stairs. Faint steps were heard from inside before the door opened.
"Stay inside!" she said loudly.
"Is it someone we know?" Carol questioned.
"Someone I know," she replied darkly.
"We should just kill him," came Michonne's voice.
"I won't disagree with you." Willow slowly walked down the steps. "Stay here, guys." She walked through the yard to where the tower stood. "What are we going to do?"
"Let's go talk to our guest," Rick suggested.
Willow walked into the field and walked with Rick to the gate. Opening and closing the inner gate, the pair unlocked the outer one for the guest to enter.
"I wondered if you would ever come out," Jack smiled.
"Here to taunt us, Jack?" Willow bit out.
"Just wanted to talk, Willow. I'm hoping we could make an agreement."
"What kind of agreement?" Rick questioned.
"My group and I live here, help with the garden and runs."
"There's so much land you could take over out there."
"There's nothing with tall, chain-link fences and guard towers."
"I'm sure you and your group can fend for yourselves without a fence."
Jack glared at Willow and stepped closer to her. Rick got between the two.
"I think it's time for you to leave," he said.
"Fine, I'll leave."
Jack opened the gate and left the prison. Willow and Rick locked up the gates and headed back to the yard. The pair watched the block door opened and Daryl came running out.
"Was it him?" he asked Willow.
She nodded. Rick walked through the door into the tower, leaving Daryl and Willow to talk.
"Yeas, it was Jack."
"Wha'd he want?"
"To join our group." She could tell that Daryl was angry. So instead of saying something, Willow pulled him to a secluded area.
"What are you doin'?"
"Nothing in particular."
She had her back against the wall and guided Daryl closer to her. Grabbing his hands, she placed them on her waist. Then without thinking, Daryl kissed her with everything he has.
"Please don't go off alone," he finally whispered.
"I won't." Willow kissed him again. "Love you."
"I love you, too."
