Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great day and enjoys the new chapter!
(At the prison)
Rick looked at Hershel and Daryl, the three already knowing they had a tough decision to make.
"It's the only way. No one else knows."
"You gonna tell 'em?"
Rick sighed, knowing everyone was on edge with Cobra missing.
"Not till after. We have to do it today. It has to be quiet."
Daryl gave the leader a disappointed look, not liking the options.
"You got a plan?"
"We tell her we need to talk. Away from the others."
Daryl glanced at Hershel for a moment before focusing back on Rick.
"Just ain't us, man. What about Cobra? When are we going to look for her?"
Hershel sighed.
"No. No, it isn't. We should be more focused on finding our missing person."
Hershel walked away, leaving Rick and Daryl to face off.
"We do this, we avoid a fight, no one else dies, we use her to get Cobra back."
Daryl nodded.
"All right."
"We need someone else."
Daryl sighed, nodding for a moment in understanding.
"I'll talk to them."
"I'll do it."
"I'll go with you."
"No. Just me."
As Rick walked away Daryl watched him for a moment before turning to locate either Merle or Matt, both biting at the bit to get Cobra back.
Walking around the prison Daryl spotted Matt sitting off one of the rails, the man looking down, his one hand clenched so hard his knuckles were turning white.
"Matt?"
The man glanced up in acknowledgement, his eyes dull from his missing sister.
"Find her?"
Daryl shook his head, taking a careful seat next to the older man.
"We think she's at Woodbury."
"When are we rescuing her?"
Daryl sighed again.
"Rick thinks if we hand over Michonne, then the Governor will hand over Cobra."
Matt shook his head.
"You're not stupid Daryl, you know that's not going to work."
Daryl sighed and nodded.
"I know."
Matt smiled at the younger man that was obviously in love with his sister.
"We will find her and being her back alive."
(Cobra's POV)
Waking up in a daze, looking to my left I spotted Andrea.
"Andrea?"
The blonde shook her head before focusing on me.
"Cobra? Are you ok?"
"I'm…fine. Are you ok?"
She nodded, concern clear on her face.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
We sat in silence for a moment, trying to focus on where all my injuries might be, but I couldn't tell.
"How bad am I?"
Andrea glanced at me.
"You want the truth?"
I nodded.
"It's bad."
I sighed, forcing a smile at her while I focused on keeping my joints relaxed.
"I figured."
Hearing the door open I sighed, watching as the Governor walked in, focusing fully on Andrea as he punched her three times in the face, knocking her out before grabbing a different knife with a jagged edge to it. Smirking he swung the blade back before slicing it across my stomach, causing me to gasp in pain as my vision started to become blurry. Smiling the Governor left us for a few minutes, turning my head, ignoring the numbing pain in my stomach.
"Andrea. Andrea! Wake up hon."
She shook her head, obviously still trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Hey hon."
She looked at me, her eyes instantly going to my newest injury.
"What?"
"Don't ask."
She nodded when the door was opened and a very bloody Milton was thrown down in front of us, the Governor smiling.
"See? They're still alive. I'm gonna need them for something."
Smirking I spoke up.
"I heard you in the other room. You don't have to lose any more of your men. Stop this."
As Milton tried to stand up, the Governor focused on me for a moment before looking at Andrea.
"Your friends at the prison-I'm gonna kill them all. People are gonna help me. I had to stretch the truth a little bit, but just a little. Now they're foaming at the mouth. You, get those tools. I'm not gonna need them anymore."
I watched Milton with guarded eyes as he moved behind us. Hearing a bang I tried to look at the blonde as he dropped something.
"Careful. Pick that up. Come on! Step to. Let's go."
Finally Milton stood back up and walked over to the Governor, as he tried to leave the Governor called him out to stop.
"I'll take that."
The Governor grabbed something off the trey.
"Put em down."
Milton placed the trey down outside the room before turning back to us, only to be shoved against a wall with the Governor holding a bat up at eye level.
"You're gonna kill them both now. You're gonna show me that you've learned something. Milton…there is no way you are leaving this room without doing it. So don't make it hard. Just-just do it."
I felt my heart drop as Milton grabbed the bat.
"That's it."
We watched as Milton turned, trying to attack the Governor, only for him to stab Milton in the gut, viscously cutting Milton's insides apart as he moved the knife around.
"I told you, you were gonna do it. And now you're gonna die. And you're gonna turn. And you're gonna tear the flesh from their bones."
Pulling the knife out, I flinched as Milton sank to the floor.
"In this life now, you kill or you die. Or you die and you kill."
With that he slammed the door shut and I looked over at Andrea, a new rush of adrenaline hitting me as I realized we were going to die if we didn't get out of here. Working fast I started to focus on pulling my foot through the tight cuff, wincing as my skin was scraped.
"Shit."
Crying out as I finally forced my foot free, well aware of the blood running down my foot. Taking a calming breath, closing my eyes as my world started to spin. Placing my free foot on the edge of the chair, pulling my other foot, gasping in pain as my body demanded that I stop. Feeling the tale tale bite of the metal scrapping against my skin, tearing it to shreds. After another scream I had both feet free, panting I laid my head back, trying to keep my world from spinning as I ignored Andrea who was talking to Milton, trying to use a pair of cutters to cut herself free. Hearing a groan I looked up in fear as Milton came back to life, crawling to his feet.
"Shit. Andrea, you might want to work faster."
She nodded, focusing on getting free while Milton lunged at me, kicking my legs up I had just enough time to press my legs into Milton's chest and lay back on my back so his flaying arms wouldn't be able to scratch me, grunting I kept pushing against him while he mindlessly pushed against me. Hearing a loud clank Milton stopped and looked at Andrea who had dropped the cutters, and had stopped in shock. Milton looked at me one more time before turning and attacking Andrea, who screamed, receiving a scratch while I managed to pull my right wrist free, the fresh blood confusing Milton for a moment before he turned and lunged at me, thinking fast I moved my feet so they were at his shoulders, using my free hand I shoved it into Milton's head, forcing his head back while I pulled at my left wrist, spotting Andrea who had one of her wrist free already. With a final scream and a rough pull I had my other hand free. Using it I shoved his head back more, screaming for Andrea to kill him. She grunted for a moment before she got her other wrist free, jumping up she shoved the clippers threw Milton's head, covering me with his blood, thinking fast she shoved him off of me, relaxing I smiled at her.
"Thanks."
She nodded, leaning against the wall while I chose to stay in my spot, thoroughly exhausted from everything.
"Think they killed him?"
"We'll know soon enough."
I nodded in agreement before we heard the door open. Glancing up I sighed in relief as Michonne, Daryl, and Rick walked in.
"Daryl?"
I felt tears springing up as the hic that I loved cursed and rushed over to me while the other two moved to Andrea.
"Hey, you'll be ok, come on."
I nodded, letting him pick me up after he checked me for bites, I vaguely heard Michonne say Andrea had a fever and I sighed, knowing my friend who just saved my life was about to die.
"Get her out of here."
Daryl nodded at Rick as he carried me out of the room, blacking out I woke up in the back of a truck with my head in Matt's lap, smiling at him as I closed my eyes again, thankful my family was at least alive.
Ok guys that is it until season 4!
