I don't own Total Drama and The Walking Dead.
Sorry if you find any grammar mistakes. I'm still learning English because it's not my first language.
Brendan: I don't have any plans for a crossover between Total Drama and The Walking Dead comic, but I have an idea in mind for a crossover between the game and the comics, where the group from the drugstore (with a few additions) instead of staying at the motel goes to Atlanta with Glenn. :)
Ms. Sleepy Clover: Glad to see you still reading! I'm not going to try to justify the scene with the soldiers because you're completely right about it. Gwen, Cody, Sierra (when she was still alive) and Heather all left the safe camp at some point back when the group was staying in Atlanta, but it was off screen because it happened when Rick was still in the coma. They were leaving the camp in Atlanta to go on the supply runs with the group. As for the moment of introduction of the alive members of the original cast that survived to this point of the story, you'll find out soon if you're right :)
It was a sunny day in Woodbury. The residents of this community were spending their time outside, preparing for some kind of festival that the Governor had planned for them. Milton and Jose picked up some cold drinks from the picnic table and started making his way towards two people who recently found themselves in Woodbury, passing by Martinez and Merle who were discussing something with each other.
Their eyes caught the sight of Andrea and Courtney after a few seconds. The lawyer and the CIT stood together in the streets. They came over to them, holding out the drinks to them.
Courtney took the drink Jose was offering her as Andrea took the drink from Milton, "Thank you."
"Cold drinks?" Andrea asked just a second after taking her drink from Milton.
"Been running the freezers all day." Milton explained, "Not the most practical use of the generators to my mind."
Jose gave him an assuring pat on his back, "There's nothing to worry about, amigo. You said it yourself."
"I'm just starting to have seconds thoughts about this." Milton told his friend.
"It's kind of amazing." Andrea stated, pressing the cold drink against her cheek to which Courtney nodded in agreement.
"The Governor feels it's worth it." Milton stated.
"Well, to a great party." Andrea said, holding out her drink to the rest. Courtney, Jose and Milton clinked their glasses with hers, "Now, if you would just drop me a hint about tonight."
"More words cannot adequately describe the festivities ahead." Mitlon answered.
Courtney turned to look at Jose, "What about you? You're going to share what you have planned for today with us?"
"My lips are sealed, senorita." Jose smirked, "You'll find out very soon."
Michonne stood in the background and just watched how Andrea and Courtney were having a conversation with the Governor's closest allies. They talked for a few more seconds before Jose and Milton excused themselves and walked away from Courtney and Andrea.
The Governor was in his room, brushing the hair of a little girl. He moved the brush a little too rougly, ripping off a piece of hair of the girl along with some skin. The girl growled and started squrming, reaching out to grab his hand. Philip placed the brush aside and wrapped his arms around her to calm her down.
"Penny, no." He told her, as he grabbed a rope and tied it around her. "It's nap time now. Nap time."
He placed a bag over her head to hide her bloody and rotting face. He picked her up and started taking her to her room as the undead little girl continued to squirm. He lifted her up and placed her on his shoulder, "Daddy still loves you. You know that, right?"
Everyone were silent. Not a single word escaped from anyone's mouth. The only sound that was coming from the group was the sound of the newborn baby crying. Rick was still on his knees, simply staring ahead, not even paying attention to the worried glances of the people from his gorup.
"Rick, you with me?" Daryl's voice was muffled as he spoke up to the sheriff deputy, "Rick?"
"Are you there, soldier?" Chef's voice was muffled as well, worry was evident in his voice as he waved his hand in front of Rick, attempting to get any answer from the sheriff deputy, "Rick? Can you hear me?"
"Let us see the baby." Hershel said as Rick remained silent. Maggie handed the newborn to Carl who started walking towards Hershel, Bridgette and DJ.
"What are we gonna feed it?" Daryl asked, turning away from Rick to look at Hershel as Carl approached the farmer, the surfer and the brickhouse, "We got anything a baby can eat?"
"She looks healthy." Bridgette stated, referring to the baby, with a small relief in her voice. Despise everything that had happened today, and the people they lost, at least the newborn baby seemed to be in good condition.
"She needs formula." Hershel added, "And soon or she won't survive."
"Nope. No way. Not her. We ain't losing anybody else." Daryl shook his head, not wanting to hear about this scenario, slouching his crossbow over his back, "I'm going for a run."
Duncan nodded as he stepped forward, joining Daryl's side, "Right behind you, redneck."
"I'll back you up." Maggie quickly volunteered as well.
Glenn was the next, "I'll go, too."
"I'll go as well." DJ followed, "I'll make sure that we'll get everything we need."
Rick slowly turned his gaze to the axe laying on the ground as Daryl, Duncan, DJ, Maggie and Glenn started readying themselves to go on the run for the supplies for the newborn baby. He got himself back on his feet and came over to the axe, picking it up. He then turned to look the cell block and started moving towards it.
"Rick!" Chris called out to him but got no answer from the leader of the group. He just disappeared from their view when he entered the cell block.
"Come on." Daryl declared as Duncan, DJ, Maggie and Glenn went over to him as Ezekiel and Cody went over to the gate to close it, "We're gonna lose the light."
"There's a Piggly Wiggly on 85." Glenn stated as they stopped in front of the Hyundai.
"No, the baby section's been completely cleared out." DJ shook his head, "Lori asked me and a few others to keep an eye out. Unfortunely, we haven't had much luck."
"Is there any place that hasn't been completely looted?" Daryl wanted to know.
"We saw signs for a shopping center just north of here." Glenn replied.
"Yeah." Maggie nodded in confirmation, "But there's too much debris on the road. A car will never get through there."
"We'll have to use our motorcycles, then." Duncan stated, pointing at his and Daryl's motorcycles, "One of us will have to stay here."
"I'll go." Maggie told him as DJ went over to to the juvie, telling him that he'll go too without saying words..
Glenn came over to her, "No, Maggie, after everything that you've been through, okay, I'll go."
"I want to go." Maggie insisted, "For Lori, I have to."
"Okay." Glenn gave her an uncertain nod of his head, before giving her a quick kiss, "I love you. Be safe."
Maggie gave him an assuring nod, "I will."
In the meantime, Rick was in the cellblock. He growled as he started making his way through the hallways, swinging his axe widly at every walker standing in his way, taking the undead out without giving them a chance to spot his presence.
The Governor got himself on the porch of one of the building and stared ahead at the people from his community who were all staring at him. He declared loudly, making sure they were going to hear everything he had to say to them, "All right. Hey. First time we gathered,t here was ten of us holed up in an apartment with Spam and saltine crackers. Well, look at us now. We've built a place we can call home. May be held together with duct tape and string,but it works. It's ours. I'll take it. So today we celebrate how far we've come. We remember those we've lost."
He paused for a second and raised his glass in the air, "We raise a glass...to us."
Everyone raised their glasses in the air and cheered out at the same time, "To us!"
The sound of the people cheering rang through Michonne's ears as she opened the doors to the Governor's room. She slowly shut it behind her, and made her way to the furniture where he placed her katana when she arrived in this place. She slouched her blade over her shoulder and closed the furniture before a notebook on the desk caught her attention.
She opened it and quickly read what was written there, before switching to another page where a lot of names were written. There was one name that stood out the most because it was underlined. This name was Penny. There wasn't anything worth reading on another pages, so she closed the notebook.
It was when she spotted some secret doors. She came over to it and tried to open it but stopped when she heard someone coming towards the room. She quickly hid herself, making sure she wasn't going to be spotted as Philip, Milton, Jose and Merle entered the room.
"I love a party as much as the next fella." She heard Milton's voice speak, "Trust me, I love a party. But we're using a lot of resources."
Philip picked up a box with some drinks, and looked at Milton, "Yeah?"
"For instance." Milton began "The generators."
"I thought you love a party." Philip stated, handing the box to Milton, "And you said yourself that there was nothing to worry about last night."
"I said the same thing to him." Jose said, "He told me that he is starting to have seconds thoughts about this."
Merle gave Milton a quick pat on his back, "Come on, Milty, lighten up, for Christ's sake. Let your hair down, man. Have some fun for once. I like fun."
The Governor shrugged, "Then, there's no problem."
"If I might. You know, I've been working on an experiment all week." Milton declared, "It's been a challenge getting the level of power I need. And with everything going on tonight..."
"What are you asking?" Philip asked.
"Postpone tonight." Milton responded.
Merle shook his head, "No way."
"Hang on. Let's hear him out." The Governor said, "How long do you need?"
"10 days." Milton answered.
Philip shook his head, "No."
"Six?" Milton asked.
The answer was the same, "No."
"It you would have told us earlier, then maybe we would consider it." Jose said, earning nods of agreement from the Governor and Merle,"How about you enjoy yourself tonight and then begin the experiment over in the morning, huh?"
Milton gave him an uncertain nod, "Uh, yeah. That could work."
It was the last thing they said to each other before they walked out of the room, leaving Michonne alone who left her hiding place shorty after. She made sure to sneak her way out of Woodbury as quickly as she could, making sure that she won't be spotted in the process.
She found herself in front of an building. She eyed it carefully and her eyes quickly caught the sight of blood covering the walls and the floor. Some of this blood was clearly fresh. She took a few steps to the left when heard some snarling coming for a place a few meters next to her, already assuming to what these snarls are going to lead to her.
She was quickly proven to be right as she came across a cage which was filled with a few walkers. All of them quickly spotted the presence of the dark skinned woman and attempted to leave the cage, but this was pointless because it was locked. Michonne knew that leaving the walkers locked there was a bad idea, especially after hearing the conversation between the Governor, Milton, Merle and Jose.
She opened the gate and started backing away from it as the walkers were finally freed from their prison. She unsheathed her katana as the walkers started getting closer to her. She swung it and the head of one them was cut in the half, the upper half flying away from where it used to be a few seconds later as the first walker collapsed on the ground.
She slammed the back of her blade against the head of another approaching walker, knocking it away from her as before placing the end of her katana in the throat o the third one. The walker that she knocked away a few seconds ago made it's way back to her and this time, she made sure to kill it once and for all by stabbing it right through the middle of it's head.
As another walker joined the corpses on the ground, she quickly turned her gaze towards another walker before cutting it into two parts which fell on the ground only a second later. She moved towards another walker and stabbed it through it's chest with her katana, before using her shoes to kick it off. The walker landed on the ground and she used this occassion to press her shoe against it's head.
The head bursted into pieces, and Michonne was left with only one walker left to take care of. Taking care of it wasn't much of a problem. She simply cut it's head off which went flying away from it's owner's body which landed on the ground only a second later.
She let out an exhale as she had just killed off all the walkers from the cage, one by one.
She didn't even notice how one of the doors in the building was opened and a person stepped out, holding a bucket filled with guts. The person stared at the scene in front of them before dropping the bucket on the ground.
Getting caught after slaughtering the walkers from the cage didn't end well for Michonne. She was brought back to the Governor's room as the leader of this community clearly wanted to have a small conversation with her.
"You get off on that?" Philip asked as he sat in front of her, holding Michonne's katana which was taken away from her, "Poking around other people's things? Hmm? We got nothing to hide here."
"People with nothing to hide don't usually feel the need to say so." Michonne pointed out.
"That's fair." The Governor stated in return with a small nod of his head, "We all have our secrets, huh?"
Michonne looked up at her, "Like Penny?"
The Governor was silent for a few seconds as he was shocked by the fact that Michonne knew about Penny, "...You know about Penny? Then you know I love her."
"Bet you say that about all the girls." Michonne stated.
"You got the wrong idea about me." Philip began as he stood up from his seat and came closer to her, "I'm just a guy trying to do right by the people I care about. Now, you want to leave, Andrea and Courtney want to stay. So you want me to take choice out of the equation. You want me to kick you out. Actually, I was about to give your sword back. 'Cause you fit in. We've enjoyed having you. This is a real problem for me. 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. And if I don't do anything,I invite anarchy."
He paused for a second, excepting an answer from Michonne. When he didn't receive it, he continued, "How about this? I keep a lid on your little outburst, you join the research team. You obviously have skills and you're not afraid of biters. Merle will take care of you and then..."
He was cut off as Michonne rose up from her seat, and without any warning, unsheathed her katana. She glared at him and placed the sharp end of it it against his neck, A few seconds passed and the dark skinned woman stopped holding her blade against the Governor's neck and started backing away from him, before leaving the room, slamming the doors behind her.
Alejandro and Cody were busy digging graves for the people they lost during Andrew's attack, eventually trading a word or two with each other when they approached by Axel and Oscar.
"How's the perimeter look?" Alejandro asked them as he continued to dig a grave for T-Dog.
"We got the walkers spread out." Axel answered, as he pointed at the grave Cody was digging, "Need help? Your friends, they were good folks."
Cody let out a sad sigh, "They were."
"Were you close with her?" Axel asked him another question, "That purple haired girl?"
"She was a friend, but she saw me as more than a friend." Cody explained, "She wasn't afraid to show it and many of us, myself included considered her a bit crazy because of that, but she was still a member of our group and she saved my life a few times. This is the least I can for her."
Oscar nodded in understanding, "I think I had one friend like that my whole life. You got a whole group. Sorry you lost 'em."
Alejandro looked up from the grave and saw Heather approaching the fence. He got himself out of the grave and started walking towards her, handing his shovel to Axel, "Help us if you want. I'll be back in a second." He made his way towards the fence and leaned against it, before asking Heather, "How's Rick? Is he still there?"
"Still inside." Heather answered, "Chris and Chef are considering going after him. Leshawna is not leaving her cell and Harold and Gwen are trying the best they can do help her."
Alejandro nodded his head as he looked over his shoulder at Cody, Oscar and Axel, "We lost four of us today. We haven't lost this many since we had to flee the farm."
Heather shook her head, "Cause of one bastard."
"I'm wondering what would happen if we killed those prisoners when we found them in the cafeteria." Alejandro began, "Axel and Oscar may seem like good guys but maybe T-Dog, Lori, Carol and Sierra would be still alive if we killed them."
"What happened, happened, and we can't change that even if we wanted to." Heather stated.
"I know." Alejandro gave her a small nod of his head, "This is the world we live in right now, and we need to except that we may lost someone at any moment."
Heather nodded her head in return. She was silent for a moment before speaking up, "I often think about Lindsay and how much of a bitch I was to her over the course of both of the seasons. I wish there were some things I could change between me and her, and but she's long dead and I'm still here. When her boyfriend to who I was bitch too, died, saving my life, I promised myself that I will make sure his sacrifice won't go in vain, that I'll be a better person to everyone."
"I can assure you, senorita that you've been doing a fine job so far." Alejandro assured her. He never mentioned this to anyone, but he had plan how to win the third season of Total Drama and that would make her look like a saint, but it of course never happened because this thing begun and making enemies among the group of people he was sticking with since the beginning was the last thing he should be doing right now.
"If you say so." Heather said as she looked over his shoulder at Cody, Oscar and Axel, "You need any help?"
Andrea and Courtney entered their room in Woodbury to be greeted by the view of Michonne packing their things into the bags.
"We gotta go." Michonne declared to them, "We got to go."
"Michonne." Andrea began, "The Governor told us what happened. You can't do things like this. You're freaking people out. You're freaking me out."
"The northeast wall is guarded by some girl." Michonne said, as if she didn't even hear what Andrea just to said to her as she threw a bag into Courtney's arms, "We can escape there after dark."
"What are you talking about?" Courtney asked her, "We are not prisoners here."
"No one who comes here leaves." Michonne stated.
"Michonne, It's safe in here. There's food, there's shelter. There's people who don't want to hurt us," Courtney tried to reason with her, as she placed the bag down, "We're not going to sleep, worried that we may get attacked during the night."
"That's what they show you." Michonne told her in return, "But you can't leave unless they make you."
"You are not making any sense." Andrea stated, "Maybe you need to sit for a minute."
"You need to trust me." Michonne insisted, "Both of you."
"And you need to give me more to go on. We got a good thing going here." Andrea pointed out.
"I thought this was temporary." Michonne pointed out in return.
"I and Andrea discussed this and we both think that we need this." Courtney explained, "We want to give this place a real shot."
"I tried." Michonne told them.
"Breaking into houses? That is not trying." Andrea stated, "That is sabotaging."
Michonne leaned in a bit closer towards them, "This place is not what they say it is."
Chef and Chris were making their way together through the hallways of the prison. Chris held a flashlight and shined through the tunnels as Chef held his knife in ready, as they were passing through more of fresh bodies of the undead.
They turned around the corner and saw a familiar man holding a bloody axe. Chris came closer to him, "Rick?"
Rick didn't respond to his call. He didn't even turn around to look at him and Chef as they approached them.
"We came here to bring you back to the rest." Chef declared, "They are worried about you and so are we."
Rick once again remained silent, but this time he actually turned around and looked at them.
Chef let out a sad sigh, "We're not going to beg you but come with us, your son needs his father right now."
"You don't have to do this all by yourself." Chris continued as he now stood in front of the sheriff deputy, "Let us bring you back to our group and we..."
The host of Total Drama didn't had a chance to finish what he was saying as Rick grabbed him and pressed him against the wall. Chef knew he had to do something because he had no idea what Rick may do in this state. He didn't want anyone to get hurt, especially after what happened today.
"Rick, I wish either of us could say what you feel right now, but we can't." He began, "I and Chris never had a wife, but at least be thankful that you had one, which loved you to the very end."
The leader of the group turned away from Chris and looked at Chef. He exchanged a look with him before throwing Chris out of his way. The two hosts of Total Drama could only watch how Rick headed into the hallways, once again and disappeared from their view.
Daryl, Duncan, DJ and Maggie had just made it to their destination. The redneck and the juvie stopped their motorcycles and glanced at the building which they were going to check, and where they would hopefully find some supplies for the newborn baby. They hopped off the motorcycles readied their stuff before hopping over the fence.
Duncan and Daryl stayed on guard as Maggie and DJ started looking for a way to find how to enter this building. They stopped in front of a window and DJ used his pistol to break it into pieces. He exchanged a quick look with Maggie before hopping through the now opened window, and Maggie quickly followed him. They were instantly greeted by the sight of two baby cradles.
He and Maggie took off their backpacks and started searching through every cabinet in the room, finding some of the stuff they needed for the baby as Daryl and Duncan climbed into the room through the window that the brickhouse broke a few moments ago.
Duncan suddenly stopped and stared at the paper hands on the wall which were most likely put by the children in the past. Daryl noticed it and quickly looked at the paper hands as well, to figure out what made the juvie pause. He wished he didn't only a few seconds later, because Duncan was staring at the two hands which said "Sofie" and "Courtney".
He sighed and placed his hand on Duncan's shoulder, offering him a nod and Duncan nodded back. They walked out of the room into the hallway as DJ and Maggie walked closely behind them. They started checking every room in the building, and taking everything they needed for the baby. They stopped when they heard something moving in one of the rooms they haven't checked, yet.
They entered it and quickly found the source of the noise. A closet. and Duncan readied his bow and Daryl did the same with his crossbow while DJ pulled out his knife. Maggie stared at them and all three of them nodded their heads. She opened it and they were instantly greeted by the view of small animal which was immediately killed by Daryl who fired an arrow from his crossbow.
Maggie shook her head, "I'm not putting that in my bag."
"Neither am I." DJ said. He still loved animals, but he accepted the fact that they had to kill every animals they came across if they didn't want to walk hungry a long time ago, "Mine is already filled with the stuff for the baby."
"At least we got ourselves a dinner." Duncan said as he knelt down to put the animal in his bag.
Michonne, Andrea and Courtney were walking through the streets of Woodbury which were filled people with bags slouched over their shoulders towards their destination which was the main gate.
"Hey, girls!" Merle's voice called out to them as the older Dixon ran over them, "Y'all are breaking my heart running away like that."
"We're leaving." Michonne declared as they kept walking towards the gate.
"It's almost curfew. I'd have to arrange an escort." Merle stated, stopping in front of them, causing them to stop, "I mean,the party's still going on. All right. Wait here a second." He made his way over to the gate and looked up at Martinez who stood on the wall as he was currently the one on the guard, "Brownie. Come here. Listen up, bro."
Andrea exchanged a look with Michonne and Courtney as Merle and Martinez proceede to talk about something with each other. She approached them, "The Governor told us we were free to come and go whenever we liked."
Merle turned away from Martinez and looked at her, "Sweetheart, nothing personal here,but you've gotta have to step back."
Andrea didn't respond to his words. She simply turned away from him and walked back to Michonne and Courtney, "See? There's always a reason why we can't leave yet."
It was when they heard Martinez's voice exclaim, "Clear!"
They turned towards the gate, again and saw Merle leaning against it, "Now if I was y'all, I'd find some shelter before nightfall."
The older Dixon opened the gate, as Michonne shook her head, "They knew we were coming. This was all for show."
"Do you hear yourself?" Andrea asked her, "How can you know that? And why would they bother?"
"Ladies?" Merle called out for them.
Courtney sighed as she turned to look at Merle, "Close the gate, Merle."
"No." Michonne instantly responded to her words.
"Michonne. We practically begged the Governor to let you say. You don't need to trust him, or Merle, or Jose, but how about you trust us?" Courtney asked her, "Trust us on this, Michonne, please. Do you really want to go back there? Do you really want to go back to that life? We spend the last eight months on the road moving place to place, scavenging, living in a meat locker? Do you really want to go back to that?"
If the CIT was honest with herself, the only major reason why would she want to leave Woodbury was looking for her old group, especially for one person from it, but Merle already had planned to go out to look for his brother and offered her to tag along if she decided to stay.
"We're simply afraid you're gonna disappear." Andrea added, "We always talked about this place, didn't we? A refuge. That idea is what kept us going."
"Are you coming or not?" Michonne wanted to know.
Courtney shook her head, "Don't do this, Michonne."
"Don't give us an ultimatum." Andrea told her, "Not after everything."
"Are you coming or not?" Michonne repeated her question. When Andrea and Courtney shook their heads, she walked past them towards the gate and came through it, walking away from Woodbury, "Both of you would just slow me sown anyway."
The sun was already down. Glenn was staring at the darkened forest when he heard the familiar sound of two motorcycles driving towards the main gate. He instantly knew who just returned from the supply run.
"Noah!" He called out to his friend, "They're back!"
The bookworm nodded his head and opened the gate, allowing the two motocycles to enter the area of the prison as Glenn made sure to kill every walker that was closer to the gate. Noah quickly closed the gate again, and locked it with the chain, making sure that they wouldn't have to deal with more walkers today.
Daryl, Duncan, DJ and Maggie got themselves off the motorcycles as Noah and Glenn ran over to them. All six of them made their to the cellblock to be greeted by the sound of the newborn crying.
"Beth? Bridgette?" Maggie called out for her sister as the was the first one to enter the cell block. Most of the group, even Oscar and Axel was there. Rick was the only one missing.
The two sisters along with Bridgette and DJ made their way over to the empty table and started taking out the stuff they got for the baby out of their bags as Daryl and Duncan walked over to Carl, the former asking, " How's she doing?"
Carl handed his sibling to the younger Dixon who started shushing her while the others prepared the bottle with the milk. Bridgette handed the bottle to the Dixon who started to feed the baby, "Shh...come on. Come on." After a few seconds of feeding he turned his gaze to Carl, "She got a name yet?"
"Not yet." Carl shook his head, "But I was thinking maybe Sophia. Then, there's Carol, too, and Andrea, Courtney, Amy, Sierra, Lindsay, Jacqui. Patricia..." He paused for a second at the thought of this name, "Or...Lori. I don't know."
Duncan sighed and crossed his arms as, Leshawna's, Maggie's and Cody's gaze went to the floor. Everyone else remained silent. The mood in the room was killed, but Daryl knew how to bring it back.
"Yeah...you like that? Huh? Little ass-kicker. Right?" He suggested, as everyone's mood seemed to bright up at his suggestion, "That's a good name, right? Little ass-kicker. You like that, huh? You like that, sweetheart?"
It worked exactly the way as he hoped it would. Everyone in the room smiled and a few of them even laughed.
Rick had no idea for how long he was making his way through the hallways as he entered a room. It could have been minutes, or it could have been hours. He didn't know. He didn't care. He started making his way through the room and stopped when he saw a huge trail of blood. He knelt down when another thing on the floor caught his attention.
He picked it up and stared at it. It was exactly what he thought it was. His wife's ring. He stared it for a few seconds, as if it was the only thing that existed in his mind for a while before he heard some grunting on the other side of the room. His eyes caught the sight of a fat walker leaning against the wall.
He got himself back on his feet and walked over to the walker who started reaching out to him. He slapped it's hand away and placed his boot against it. He got himself on his knees and placed his left hand against the walker's shoulder, making sure to press it against the wall. He placed his Python inside of it''s mouth and let out a long scream as he pulled the trigger.
The Python fired and blood splashed all over the floor as the sheriff deputy just killed this one walker. He holstered his Python as he stood up. staring at the now dead walker in front of him. He pulled out his knife and started to bring it down, repeatedly on the walker's stomach, screaming every second as he did so, cutting it open.
Loud music was playing as the residents of Woodbury were slowly gathering to watch the main event of the festival. The Governor escorted Andrea and Courtney to their seats where Jose was already waiting for them. They sat down as the entire crowd of people cheered.
"It's a little loud." Andrea said to Courtney who nodded in agreement.
A completely new song started playing as the lights were turned on and the people in the audience were greeted by the view of an area which was surrounded by chained walkers. The crowd erupted into louder cheers as Martinez entered the area, holding his hands in the air which was followed by Merle entering the area as well.
Hearing people cheering his name, Merle declared, "I'm gonna kick his ass one-handed! Or better, yet!..." He lay down on the ground and started doing push-ups, "No-handed! Yeah!" He got himself back on his feet and took off his jacket before handing it Tim who stepped away from him and Martinez right after, "All right, let's get it on!"
Tim blew the whistle which meant only one thing and Merle knew that. Martinez approached him, only to receive a kick right to his head, which brought him down the ground. He simply shrugged it off and grinned as he got himself back on his feet. He and Merle stared right into each other before he decided that it was time to strike.
He swung his fist towards the Dixon who ducked it just in time and used this opportunity to bring him down to the ground as one of the chained walkers reached towards him. He quickly crawled away from it as Merle declared to cheering crowd, "He's got nothing. Nothing, folks!"
He turned his gaze away from Martinez and stared at the audience as his opponent went back to his feet and quickly used this ocassion to slam his fist down on Merle's back, this time, making him the one who was brought to the ground. Martinez grinned as he picked Merle up from the ground, wrapping his hands around him.
He brought him closer to the undead as Merle kicked it, before headbutting Martinez with the back of his head, leaving Martinez dozed a bit. The Dixon grabbed his opponent by his arm and threw him on the ground. Martinez clenched his teeth a bit on the impact of the landing, but grin returned to his face just a second later.
Tim looked over at the Governor who nodded his head at him. He nodded in return and it was just a matter of seconds before the chains holding the walkers were loosened a bit. Martinez and Merle didn't seem to care about it. They instead started throwing each other to from one walker to another.
Courtney and Andrea couldn't watch it for any longer. They stood up from their seats and started leaving. Philip saw that and was about to go after them, but Jose patted him on his shoulder, "I'll take care of it."
The spanish young man stood up from his seat and went after Courtney and Andrea, catching up to them several seconds later, "Where are you going?"
"Do you really need to ask us?" Courtney asked him, 'This is sick. What if one of them get's bitten?"
"You don't need to worry about either of them." Jose assured them, "This is staged. I, Merle, Milton, Martinez and Crowley went earlier to get these muertos and we made sure to pull out their teeth. We wouldn't do anything to hurt our people. We simply want them to be entertained a bit. We have the full control of the situation."
He held his hand to them, offering them to go back. Although, they looked a bit hesitant about, they accepted his offer and went back to their seats.
The sun was starting to rise on the horizon as another day begun. Daryl and Duncan knew what they to do after waking up. They made their way over to the grave which was marked as Carol's. They were both holding Cherokee's Rose. They knelt down in front of the grave and placed the flowers in the middle of the grave, paying their respects for their fallen friend.
They exchanged a look with each other as they got themselves back on their feets. They turned away from the graves and slowly started to head back to the cell block.
Rick spend the entire night in the room where his wife died while giving birth to their daughter. Staring at the walker that ate his wife was the only thing he was doing for all these hours.
It was when he titled his head a bit when a familiar sound rang through his ears.
It was ringing. Ringing of a phone.
He couldn't believe his ears. How was this possible? How was this phone still working? He rose back to his feet and slowly made his way over to the phone and picked it up, answering the call of the person on the other side. He let out a quiet, "...Hello?"
Merry Christmas everyone! :)
Sorry for not updating this story for almost a month. I wanted to take a small break. I'll try to get one more chapter before the new year.
Hope it wasn't that bad. See you in another chapter.
