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.
Darth krayt1: Bridgette will eventually tell Geoff about her pregnancy but when it will be, considering everything that is happening in Alexandria right now? You'll have to wait and see. I like MP5 too. :)
mcgman651: When Alejandro was cutting Lorenzo's hand off, he cut the part below the elbow, making sure sure to leave as much of the limb as he could. If Lorenzo wasn't unconscious because of his wound, he would tell Deanna the truth about the supply because of him feeling like he owns it to Alejandro. Let's just say this entire supply run and him losing his arm was an eye opening situation for him.
Brendan: Yup. He is becoming a father :)
michaelgualtieri156: You'll have to wait and see to find out if something will end up happening to Bridgette and Geoff after this revelation :)
Rick's eyes slowly opened as he regained his conciousness. He sat up on the bed, leaning against the wall behind him and looked around himself, wanting to know where he was right now. It turned out that he was in a house unknown to him. He must have been brought into it after his fight with Pete. He lifted his hand up and touched his face a second later as he felt something on it, finding it to be covered in small bandages.
He turned to his side to look at the person he spotted sitting on the chair next to him when he was looking around the place. It was Michonne. He looked away from her and chuckled to himself, finding this situation to be quite similiar to some other situation the two found them found themselves in in the past. Even though she kept her face straight, Michonne by the way he was behaving right now.
"What so funny?" She asked him, wanting to know what was so funny to him.
"Iit's like the train car." Rick replied, "After the whole thing, I'm still there."
"Deanna wanted you in here, calm things down. Me and the chef are in shifts when it comes to watching you. He was here for the whole night. We recently changed." Michonne explained, "Rosita and Bridgette patched you up. Carl came by for a while. I sent him home." She got up from her chair and brought it closer to Rick, before sitting back down on it, "Rick. What are you doing?" Rick sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "We put Pete in another house. You could have told me what was happening. "
"It moved fast and then Dylan." Rick replied before noticing the way Michonne was looking at him right now, "I couldn't tell you about the gun."
"No, you couldn't." Michonne replied.
"Oh, you wanted this place." Rick pointed out.
"We had to stop being out there." Michonne pointed out in return.
"Well, we're here." Rick stated.
Michonne scoffed, "Well, you just said you weren't." She and Rick brought their attention to the door to the house when they heard someone open it. They saw Glenn, Carol, Chris, Chef and Abraham enter the house, "Where'd you get the gun?"
"You took it, right?" Carol asked, playing like she didn't know about this, "From the armory?" Rick nodded his head at her, playing along, "That was stupid. Why did you do it?"
"Just in case." Rick replied.
"Deanna's planning to have a meeting tonight." Chris informed Rick, "For anyone who wants to..."
"To kick Rick out?" Abraham finished for him, already knowing where this was going.
"This is most likely. We all saw the look Deanna gave Rick when he was talking to her yesterday." Chris replied, "We're not sure about it. Not yet at least."
"Maggie's with Deanna right now and Noah went to talk with Emma." Glenn said, "They're gonna find out what it is."
"At the meeting, you say you were worried about someone being abused and no one was doing anything about it." Chef said, "You say you took a gun just to be sure that Jessie was safe from a man who wound up attacking you. You say you'll do whatever you want them to."
"Just tell them a story that they want to hear." Carol added as she nodded her head at Chef's words, "It's what I've been doing since I got here."
"Why?" Michonne wanted to know.
"Because these people are children and children like stories." Carol responded.
"What happens after all the nice words and they still try to kick him out?" Abraham asked.
"They're guarding the armory now." Glenn revealed.
"They're not letting anyone from our group get close to it." Chris added, "I tried."
"We still have knives." Carol stated, "That's all we'll need against them."
"Well, tonight at the meeting, if it looks like it's going bad, I whistle." Rick began, "Carol grabs Deanna, I take Spencer, Chef grabs Reg, Glenn, Chris, Michonne and Abraham cover us, watch the crowd."
"We can talk to them." Michonne disagreed with Rick's idea, preferring a scenario that doesn't end with them killing the Monroe family.
"Yeah, we will." Rick replied, "If we can't get through, we take the three of them and say we'll slit their throats."
"Like at Terminus?" Glenn pointed out.
"No, we just tell 'em." Rick shook his head, "They give us the armory and it's over."
"Did you want this?" Glenn asked.
"No." Rick shook his head, "I hit my limit."
"Why didn't you tell me you were going to confront Pete?" Chef asked, "I would go with you. If I went with you, then maybe we wouldn't have to worry about you getting kicked out of Alexandria right now."
"After I realized most of them wouldn't care if I they learned the truth about Pete, I just stopped thinking straight." Rick gave him an honest answer, "Look, I-I screwed up." He sighed, shaking his head, "And here we are." He turned away from them, beginning to lay down on his side, with his back facing them, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna sleep some more."
Chef, Chris, Carol, Abraham and Glenn turned away from him and exited the house through the door they used earlier as Michonne got up from her chair. She followed them out of the house, closing the door behind her as Rick closed his eyes, slowly falling asleep.
Noah walked up the porch leading to Emma and Kitty's house, because he was told that this was where he would find Emma and stopped in front of the front door to the house. He knocked on the door and waited for someone to open the door, hearing how someone walk over to the door a few seconds later. The door was opened and Kitty appeared in his view.
"Noah?" She asked. Normally she'd greet him with a friendly smile, but what happened yesterday between Rick and Pete was refusing to leave her mind, "What is it?"
"I came here, because there's one thing I need to talk about with your sister." Noah explained, "Would you mind I came in?"
"There's no need to come in." Emma said as she walked past her sister and stopped on the porch, her eyes looking directly at Noah, "What do you want to talk about?"
"It's about the meeting planned for today about Rick." Noah revealed.
"I should have seen this coming." Emma shook her head, letting out a sigh, "Listen. I can only tell you what you already know. People will decide what to do with him. If it was for me, though, I would kick him out of our community as soon as possible. There's no place for someone like him in here."
"Are you serious right now?" Noah asked.
"Why do you sound so suprised?" Emma looked at him like he had grown a second head, "He stole a gun from the armory, pointed it at our people and threatened them. This seems like a good enough reason to kick him out."
"He did it to make everyone listen to him." Noah pointed out as he crossed his arms, "Everything he said to Deanna was completely true had to be said sooner or later."
"So you agree with him?" Emma asked, "This may come as a surprise to you, but this is not how we do things around here. We do not execute people in cold blood like your friend would definitely do if he wasn't knocked down by Michonne. We have rules around here and without those rules we aren't better than those monsters out which are trying to eat us!"
"You may not like it, but the world is what it is." Noah told her, growing tired of her ignorance of the outside world, "Ignoring it ain't going to change that. Wishing that it was something else ain't going to make that way. The sooner you realize it, the better for everyone. What are you going to do when a herd will come to the doorsteps of this place? Will you try to pretend like it doesn't exist and hope for the best?"
Emma glared at Noah, letting out a long frustated sigh. She turned away from him, having enough of this and walked away into the house out of his view. Noah sighed as he watched Emma turn the corner and walk out of his view. If he ever had any chance with Emma, it looks like he just destroyed it with this argument. He still didn't regret saying those words to her, because Emma had to stop living like the world outside the walls didn't exist if she wanted to survive.
"Noah." Kitty called out for Noah's attention, breaking the silence she put herself in when the argument began, "Is the world behind the walls really as bad your group says it is?"
"It's worse." Noah gave her an honest answer as he turned away from her and walked down the porch into the street, "It's much worse."
Daryl, Duncan, Aaron and Brick walked together through the forest, sticking to one path for now as they managed to find some tracks of someone passing this way a while ago.
Daryl had his eyes on the tracks on the ground as he walked in front of the group, "Somebody came through here a while ago."
"If we see them, we hang back, set up the mike, watch and listen." Aaron explained to Daryl and Duncan how they were handling the recruitment.
"For how long?" Duncan wanted to know.
"Until we know." Aaron replied, "We have to know."
"You've sent people away?" Daryl asked.
Duncan nodded his head at the question, "I was wondering about that myself."
"Yeah." Aaron nodded in confirmation.
"What happened?" Duncan wanted to know.
"It was early on before I brought Brick and Jo into Alexandria." Aaron began to explain, "It was three people. Two men and a woman. Davidson was their leader. Smart as hell, strong. I thought they'd work out. They didn't. I thought they'd work out. They didn't. I brought them in and I had to see them out. So me, Aiden, Lorenzo, and Nicholas, we drove them out far... gave them a day's worth of food and water and left them."
"They just went?" Daryl asked.
"We had their guns." Aaron answered, "We had all the guns. I can't make that kind of mistake again. You have no idea how I relieved I was when it worked out with Brick and Jo. I was so relieved that I didn't have to do something like that again."
Rick's eyes opened as he woke up from his slumber after someone poked him on his side a few times.
"...Wake up." A familiar voice he recognized as Carol's rang through his ears the moment he opened his eyes. He looked over his shoulder, wanting to know who it was and saw Carol, Jo and Chris. He rolled to the other side and sat up on the bed as Carol spoke to him, "It's good what happened last night. We have more cover now. All of them think you've been found out, that it's over."
"Grandma's right." Jo nodded in agreement.
"Where's Chef?" Rick asked.
"He's keeping watch." Chris explained as Rick nodded in understanding, "We don't want to get caught by anyone here. Him stading on watch won't raise any suspicions from anyone because of his job."
Rick nodded in understanding as Carol held out a gun for him. He took the gun from her and looked down at it, "Why didn't you want to tell them we had more guns?"
"Michonne stopped you." Carol pointed out, "She knocked you out."
"Well, I deserved it." Rick stated.
Carol shook her head at him, "Well, it was stupid."
"She's with us." Rick said, "Glenn is."
"I didn't tell them about the guns just in case." Carol explained.
Rick sighed, "I don't want to lie anymore."
"You said you don't want to take this place." Carol pointed out, "And you don't want to lie? Oh, sunshine, you don't get both."
Daryl, Duncan, Aaron and Brick eventually managed to catch up to the person who left their tracks in the woods. This person turned out to be a man wearing a red poncho. Ever since they managed to catch up to this man, the group of four made sure to observe his every move to determine if he was someone who would fit into their community. The unknown man stopped for a second and crouched down, covering his face in the mud below him. He got himself back into a standing position and rubbed his face with mud, covering it with it.
Duncan nodded his head to himself, watching the unknown man through the binoculars, "Smart."
"What's he doing?" Brick wanted to know.
"Wild leeks." Daryl replied as the unknown man pushed himself into a walk, "Son of a bitch knows about how to keep mosquitos off of him."
"Come on." Duncan said after the unknown man walked out of his view, "We can't lose him."
He went after the unknown man and Daryl, Brick and Aaron followed him.
Glenn sat all by himself on the porch of his house, watching the street in front of him as he watched for two people to walk over to him and talk with him. He was unaware Nicholas was watching from the distance. He titled his head to the side when he heard someone walk over to him, seeing Maggie. His wife sat down next to him.
"You met with her?" He asked her.
Maggie nodded in confirmation, "Yeah."
"So what is it?" Glenn wanted to know.
"It's what we thought." Maggie replied, "I'm gonna talk to people. I'll talk to everyone I can right up until. I'm gonna try to solve this."
Glenn nodded in understanding, before shifting his gaze to his side when he heard someone approach him and his wife, seeing Noah, "How did it go?"
"WHat do you think?" Noah replied with a question of his own, "If it was up to her, Rick would already get kicked out of this place."
"I see." Glenn nodded in understanding, a grim look forming on his face.
"We're gonna work it out." Maggie assured her husband and got up from the porch into a standing position. She walked over to Noah, "I'm gonna go talk to people? You coming."
"Let's go." Noah replied, "I hope at least one of them will listen to the reason."
A few seconds after Noah and Maggie walked away from Glenn, Harold walked out of the house and stopped behind Glenn with a confused look on his face, "What in the world?"
Glenn looked over his shoulder at Harold and asked him, suprised by his confusion, "What is it?"
Harold pointed ahead of him and Glenn looked to where he was pointing at, finding out what was the source of his confusion. He saw Nicholas climbing up the fence with the obvious intention of making his way to the other side of it. Not wasting any time, the two of them quickly began making their way to the fence as Nicholas climbed his way out of their way.
Gabriel walked over to the main gate of Alexandria, telling Spencer who was guarding it right now that he wanted to go for a walk. Spencer was a bit confused by his request, mostly because Gabriel was going out without any guns, but opened the gate for him, allowing him to leave the walls of Alexandria.
"Sure you don't want a gun, Father?" Spencer asked as Gabriel walked through the opened gate, leaving the walls of Alexandria.
"I just want a quick walk." Gabriel replied, walking away from the gate, "The word of God is the only protection I need."
Spencer watched how Gabriel walked into the woods and vanished from his view before closing the gate, having no reason to keep it open for any longer.
Shorty after his meeting with Carol and Chris, Rick left the house he was put into after his fight with Pete. He started walking along the sidewalk, making his way to his house. He passed by a few residents of Alexandria on his way to his house and saw the looks they gave him such as Tobin's distrustful gaze or Cameron's fear filled expression, but ignored them. He made his way to his house a few moments later. He opened the door and entered the house, his son being the first thing he spotted upon entering it.
"Dad." Carl looked at his Rick as Rick closed the door behind him.
"Hey." Rick greeted his son as Carl ran over to him and hugged him.
Carl released his dad from the hug and asked him, "You okay?"
"Yeah." Rick nodded, "Look, I'm sorry."
"I heard about the meeting." Carl brought up the matter of the meeting.
"You're staying home." Rick told his son right after he mentioned the meeting.
"That's what it is now, right?" Carl asked, "Home?"
"Yeah." Rick nodded.
"They need us. They'll die without us." Carl stated.
"I might have to threaten one of them." Rick began, "I could have to kill one of them."
Carl shook his head, "You won't. "
"I might." Rick replied.
"You have to tell them." Carl told his dad.
"I told them last night." Rick pointed out.
"You have to tell them so they can hear you." Carl explained.
"I don't know if they can." Rick replied as Carl sighed at his answer, "Does that make you afraid?"
"Just for them." Carl responded, "You have to tell them."
Duncan, Daryl, Brick and Aaron unfortunely lost the red poncho wearing man they have been following for the past few hours, even though they did their best to keep up with him. They searched for him everywhere they could think of right now, starting with the forest and ending the road, but unfortunely the person the man they have been following was nowhere to be found.
Even though they didn't manage to find the man they have been following for the past few hours, this entire thing didn't turn out to be a complete waste of time as they managed to come across something else. They came across a large building which seemed almost untouched by the world around it. A group of walkers was wandering around the yard of the building, but the group didn't consider it a big threat, because it was a small one. The group of four walked over to the fence to take a better look at the building where they would determine if they should give this building a shot or not.
"We checked the forest, we checked the roads." Aaron said,"We can't find him. Sometimes they slip away. It happens. But... you don't come across something like this every day."
"We do this now, it means we're giving up." Daryl stated, looking at the building in front of them through his binoculars.
"Home is 50 miles back." Brick stated, "It's time to go."
"You saw it last night." Aaron added, "There's bad people out here."
"That's why we ought to keep looking for the good ones." Daryl stated.
"We need more people and we'll find them." Brick said, "But when we do, we'll need to feed them."
"All right." Duncan nodded, "Let's get this done."
Daryl pulled out his knife and began slamming it against the fence, earning the attention of the walkers on the other side of the fence. The undead began to make their way towards him, Duncan, Aaron and Brick. The group of four pulled out their knives, readying themselves to kill the undead. The walkers made their way to the fence and pressed themselves against it, trying to reach their targets on the other side of it as Duncan, Brick, Aaron and Daryl wasted no time and began taking care of them, one by one.
After making sure all of the walkers, Brick walked over to the gate and opened it. He entered the other side of the fence, followed by Daryl, Duncan and Aaron. They walked past the bodies of the walkers they just killed, walking further into the area of the building. After walking forward themselves for a few moments, they came across a couple of trailers, which must have been delivering the food to this place back when the world was normal, at the loading dock of the building.
Knowing the trailers could have been filled with food their community could make a good use of, the group of four made their way to the back of the nearest trailer. They walked up the stairs leading into loading dock and Aaron felt how a smile spread over his face when he looked down at the license plate below the trailer.
"Whoa." He crouched down in front of the license plate, beginning to take it off with his knife as Brick, Daryl and Duncan observed their surroundings, "Wasn't sure I'd ever see one of these."
"Hey." Daryl and Duncan looked at Brick as Brick called out for their attention, "I don't like giving up either, but the guy is in a red poncho. You can see him from a mile away."
"We've gone a lot of miles here." Aaron got up into a standing position and walked over to his group, putting his newest addition to his collection of the license plates in his bag, "No sign of him. But... if we come away with a trailer full of cans, I'd say that's a good trip."
Daryl nodded, "Here we go."
The Dixon crouched down and opened the trailer which started some kind of mechanism which opened every trailer in the area. Unfortunely the trailers didn't turn out to be filled with food like the group excepted and were instead filled with walkers. This entire place turned out to be some kind of trap. Daryl quickly got himself back on his feet, beginning to make his way away from the walkers which began to leave the trailers with Duncan, Brick and Aaron.
They didn't made it far. The walkers from the trailers quickly filled the whole area around them, making them unable to leave, because there were simply too many walkers around them. After killing a few nearby walkers with their knives, they ran into the area between the two trailers and began making their way to the building, hoping they will manage to find an entrance to it. Unfortunely, the walkers got themselves between them and the building, making them unable to reach their destination.
Now being surrounded on both sides and having no other options, they got themselves under the trailer on their right and began crawling their way to the other side of it. Daryl making sure to grab a chain which caught his attention when he was making his way to the other side of the trailer. A few walkers tried to follow them, but didn't even manage to get close to the group of four.
They crawled to the other side of the trailer and once again found themselves to be surrounded by the undead, only this time there were fewer of them, at least for now. Daryl swung the chain he had grabbed a few seconds earlier at the three walkers, managing to kill all three of them at the same time. If Duncan wasn't too worried about the walkers right now, he'd make a comment about how awesome it was.
A walker approached Aaron from behind and grabbed him by his bag. Brick quickly came to his rescue and stabbed the walker in the head with his knife, killing it as Aaron looked at him with a grateful look on his face. Not wasting any time, the group of four ran into the yard and began pushing their way through the walkers, eventually reaching an abandoned car.
They quickly got themselves into the car, with Daryl and Aaron sitting on the front seats and Duncan and Brick sitting on the passengers seats. They made sure to lock all the doors of the car they had taken their shelter in to prevent the walkers from getting to them as the undead surrounded the car, pressing themselves against the windows of the car and banging on them.
Pete sat all by himself on the chair in the darkened room of the house he was brought into after his fight with Rick. He got up from the chair and walked over to the door when he heard someone knock on it. He opened the door and Carol and Chef walked into the house, the former holding a casserole. Chef closed the door after entering the house as Pete looked at him and Carol.
"What the hell are you two doing?" He asked them, not even hiding his hostility towards people who came from Rick's group.
"You need to check on Tara and Gwen. Bridgette has even doing this ever since they were brought in into the clinic. She needs to rest for a bit." Carol said, "You treated them. You're a surgeon. You need to do that."
"Get out." Pete demanded, pointing at the door.
After hearing his answer, Carol reached into the sweater and pulled out her knife, "I could kill you right now." Pete looked at Carol as if she was a joke, convinced she wouldn't be able to do kill him, "I could. I will." She held her knife up to his throat as Pete's expression changed when he realized she was being serious, "And then who would believe I did it because I didn't like you? No one."
"They'd believe you tried to hurt her." Chef added as Carol put her knife close to Pete's chin, "And I would personally confirm it as an eye witness. Who do you think people would believe? Me, someone who made a police officer of this place or a piece of shit like you who abuses his family?"
Carol ran her knife along Pete's chin, making him gasp, and put her knife away, "Come at me." Pete remained where he stood, "No? Yeah? No. The way this has played out, you have a chance. You're here. Your wife's there. You're a small, weak nothing. And with the world how it is, you're even weaker."
"Play your cards right, maybe you don't have to die." Chef said, "Play them wrong, you know what will happen to you."
Carol put the casserole in Pete's hands, "I want my dish back clean when you're done. "
After Carol and Chef walked out of the house, Pete dropped the casserole on the floor, "This isn't my house." He walked into the closest room and began taking his anger out by smashing things around him, "This isn't my house!"
Daryl, Duncan, Aaron and Brick didn't know how much time had passed since they were trapped in the car in the middle of the yard. The walkers were still surrounding the car they were hiding in right now and it didn't seem like they were going to go away anytime soon. Good thing the windows of this car were so strong, because otherwise the walkers would break through it a long time ago.
Daryl looked at the walkers that were pressed against the window next to him and let out a chuckle as he realized one thing about himself. His sudden chuckle brought Duncan, Aaron and Brick's attention towards him.
"What?" Aaron asked in confusion.
"I came out here to... not feel all closed up back there." Daryl explained, "Even now, this still feels more like me... than back in them houses. That's pretty messed up, huh?"
Duncan let out a short laugh at Daryl's explanation as he sat behind him, "Now that you mention it, you're right. It is messed up."
Aaron smiled bitterly at Daryl, "You were trying."
"Exactly." Brick nodded in agreement, sitting behind Aaron, "You tried. That's what matters."
"I had to." Daryl stated.
"No, you didn't." Aaron replied, "Listen, we saw you with your group out there on the road. Then you went off on your own by the barn. Storm hit and you led your people to safety. That was it. I knew I had to bring you people back. You were right. We should have kept looking for that guy in the poncho. I shouldn't have given up. You and Duncan didn't."
Daryl stared at Aaron for a few seconds before pulling out a cigarette from his pack and placing it between his teeth, "I'll go. I'll lead them out. You make a break for the fence."
"I'll go with you." Duncan said.
Daryl shook his head, "No."
"I'm going with you." Duncan repeated himself, "There's a chance all of us will make it out of alive if we will split into two equal groups."
"Fine." Daryl sighed, "Just let me finish my smoke first."
"What are you talking about?" Brick asked, "We're not leaving a fellow soldiers in the field behind."
Aaron nodded in agreement, "This was our fault."
"It wasn't a question." Daryl told him, "And this ain't your decision. It ain't nobody's fault."
"No." Brick shook his head at Daryl's idea, "You don't draw them away. We're in this together. We ain't going to risk lives of our fellow soldiers."
"We fight." Aaron added, agreeing with Brick's words, "We go for the fence. We do it together. All right? Whether we make it or not, we do it together. We have to."
After a moment of staying unresponsive, Daryl nodded his head at them, "All right."
"Your choice." Duncan said, "You ready?"
Aaron nodded, "Yeah."
"Let's move out." Brick nodded.
Daryl took his knife and readied himself to open the door on his side of the car, the rest of the group doing the same, "We'll go on three. One, two..."
Before he could finish his counting, one of the walkers on Aaron and Brick's side of the car man killed by a mysterious person, taking everyone in the car by suprise. THe doors on Brick and Aaron's side of the car were opened shorty after. Brick and Aaron climbed out of the car as soon as the doors were opened, seeing the person who came to their aid.
They saw a black skinned man who was using a long stick as his weapon. The unknown man swung his stick at the walkers around him, killing them to clear the path to the gate as Duncan and Daryl climbed out of the car, joining everyone else out side. Not wasting any time, they quickly began running towards the nearest the gate. The walkers which were surrounding the car went after them.
They made their way to the other side of the gate, killing a few walkers which happened to be in their way to safety in the process and Duncan made sure to close it to stop the walkers from leaving the yard. The walkers pressed themselves against the fence as they tried to reach their targets, but the fence was preventing them from doing so.
Brick looked at the man who just came to their aid with a grateful look on his face after Duncan closed the gate, "Thank you. "
"I'm Aaron." Aaron introduced himself to the stranger, "This is Brick, Daryl and Duncan."
"Morgan." The stranger introduced himself as Morgan to them.
"Why?" Daryl wanted to know why Morgan helped them.
"Why?" Morgan smiled at him, "Because all life is precious. Daryl."
"We better get out of here." Duncan said, "I don't know if the fence will be able to hold them for long and whoever set that trap might be close."
"We have good news." Brick said to Morgan, "We have a community not too far from here. Walls, electricity, it's safe. If you'd like to come join us."
"I thank you. But I'm on my way somewhere." Morgan declined Brick's offer, "Fact is, I'm lost, so..." He pulled out a man and handed it to Daryl, "If you could tell me where we are."
Daryl took the map from Morgan and unrolled it. He looked down at it, seeing that something was written on it. After reading what was written on it, he shifted his attention from the map to Duncan and motioned to him to come over to him.
"What?" Duncan asked as he came over to Daryl, wanting to know what he wanted from him. Daryl gestured towards the map in his grasp as Duncan looked down at it, finding out what was written on it right after.
SORRY I WAS AN ASSHOLE
COME TO WASHINGTON
THE NEW WORLD'S GONNA
NEED RICK GRIMES
A grin spread over Duncan's face after seeing what was written on the map, "No way."
Gabriel whistled as he continued to walk through the forest. It had been a while since Gabriel left Alexandria to go on his walk and he didn't come across a single walker ever since the left the walls of his community. His luck didn't last forever, though. When he walked into the road between the trees, he saw a walker feasting on the body of an unknown man in the distance.
The view of this walker feasting on this man made him stop dead in his tracks for a second. He nodded his head to himself. This was exactly what he was looking for. He stepped out of the forest into the road and whistled in an attempt to gain the walker's attention. The walker either didn't hear his whistle or didn't care about it as it continued to eat the flesh of an unknown man.
"I'm ready!" He shouted. This seemed enough as the walker turned away it's meal on and slowly turned around to look at him. The walker started to make it's way towards Gabriel as Gabriel threw his arms into the air, waiting for the walker to come over to him and to sink it's teeth in his neck, "I'm ready."
As the walker was getting closer to him, Gabriel glanced at the body of an unknown man and saw it's hand moving. It meant only one thing. This man was still alive. When the walkers was inches away from him, Gabriel changed his mind, beginning to regret his decision. He the noose that was attached to the walkers neck and began pulling on it until it decapitated the walker.
Gabriel whimpered, looking down at the gruesome imaginery below him as the walker and it's decapitated head slowly fell down to the ground, looking down at the gruesome imaginery below him. He picked up a nearby rock and brought it down on the walker's head, smashing it into pieces. After taking care of the walker, he walked over to the bleeding dying man.
He brought the rock down on the man's head, freeing him from his suffering. After putting the unknown man out of his misery, Gabriel collapsed on the road and began to cry out of guilt and grief he was feeling right now. He got up from the road a few minutes later and began to make his way back to Alexandria, having no other reason to stay outside the walls after his sudden change on mind.
He arrived back at Alexandria a few moments later. Spencer saw him walk out of the forest and opened the gate for him, "You're back. Good, just wanted to sneak off to the meeting." He stepped away from the gate as Gabriel walked through it, entering Alexandria, "You think we could find some time to talk later? About Aiden? Just some things I need to say and I'm not sure who I can say them to. I don't really have anyone here right now, if you know what I mean."
"I'll see." Gabriel replied, his voice void of any emotion.
"Cool." Spencer looked at him with a grateful loon his face and pointed at the opened gate behind Gabriel, "Can you get that?"
Gabriel nodded, "Yeah."
"Thank you." Spencer nodded back and turned away from him, beginning to walk towards the place where the meeting about Rick was going to take place.
Gabriel watched Spencer walk away from him for a few moments before closing the gate just like he asked him to. He closed the gate only partially, though, leaving it slightly open.
Abraham walked into the clinic with two boquet of flowers which he intended to give to Tara and Gwen who still haven't regained their consciousness. Once he entered the clinic, he saw Rosita and Bridgette talking with each other, Leshawna and Trent sitting together next to Gwen's body, a sleeping Chet sitting next to Lorenzo's bed and Eugene sitting next to Tara's bed.
The view of Eugene in the clinic made him turn around and he would have exited the clinic if it wasn't for Rosita telling him, "He's asleep. Sit."
Abraham nodded his head at her and closed the door. He walked over Gwen's bed and put the boquet on the cupboard next to it for, making Trent and Leshawna look at him in a grateful manner. After giving the boquet to Gwen, he made sure to do the same with Tara, before walking over to the free seat next to Eugene. He slowly sat down on the chair, making sure to not make any noise.
Seeing how Abraham was doing everything he could to wake Eugene up, Rosita dropped a metal tray on the floor which made a loud clattering noise upon colliding with the floor. Abraham looked at her and she looked at him sheepishly, "Whoops."
All the noise Rosita just made woke Eugene up from his slumber. He opened his eyes and looked at the man sitting next to him, "Good afternoon." When Abraham stayed silent and looked away from him, Eugene shifted his attention from him to Tara, "She saved my life. She also cracked open my gourd to considering implications I hadn't. I will remark about those at this time. You got us here. All I did was craft a top-shelf lie to which a person with strength and heroism could apply their talents. My bet was you needed that. I thank you." Abraham slowly turned to look at Eugene and saw the look of guilt he had on his face right now. Everyone in the clinic watched the exchange in silence, "I am sorry. And I mean both emphatically and in equal measure."
Abraham stayed silent for a moment, feeling how everyone in the clinic had their eyes on him, "...I'm sorry, too."
"Utterly and completely unnecessary." Eugene stated.
"I almost killed you." Abraham pointed out.
"Yes." Eugene nodded, "There's that."
It was when the door to the clinic was opened. Everyone shifted their attention to it and saw Alejandro walking into the building. Bridgette sighed internally, already guessing the reason of Alejandro's visit as Alejandro closed the door behind him.
"How are they doing?" He asked.
"They're still asleep." Rosita replied.
"I see." Alejandro nodded, "I hope they will wake up soon. They've been asleep for a while."
"Yeah." Rosita nodded, "Me too."
Alejandro looked at Bridgette, "Bridgette. Can we talk in private? I want to talk with you something."
"Of course." Bridgette nodded her head at him to not raise any suspicions from anyone. She and Alejandro were about to walk into another separate room to have their conversation, but were stopped from doing so, because there was one person in the clinic who had to say something to Alejandro.
"Hey." Chet said to Alejandro as he just like Eugene was awoken when Rosita dropped the tray on the floor, "Can you wait a second? I need to tell you something."
Alejandro looked at him, "What is it?"
"I just want to thank you." Chet said with a grateful look on his face, "Thank you for saving my brother."
"It was no problem, amigo." Alejandro replied, "We live in the same community right now. We need to watch out for each other."
Chet nodded his head at him as Alejandro turned away from him. He and Bridgette walked into a separate room and made sure no one from their group was close or was eavesdropping on them.
"I guess you wanna talk about our last discovery." Bridgette said.
"Yes." Alejandro nodded, "Did you told Geoff about it?"
"Not yet." Bridgette replied as she looked down at her stomach, placing her hand on it, "I'm still processing this information myself."
"When are you going to tell him and everyone else about that, senorita?" Alejandro wanted to know, "You know the best thing you can do in this situation is to tell everyone about your pregnancy."
"I know." Bridgette nodded. She knew Alejandro was right. Geoff deserved to know about her pregnancy, considering it was his child, "I'll tell everyone once the matter of Rick and Pete will be settled. I hope it will be after the meeting."
Nicholas had been running through the forest ever since he Alexandria by climbing up the wall. He stopped in his tracks when a walker appeared in his view. The walker noticed him too and began walking towards him. Nicholas pulled out the pistol he was carrying with himself ever since he pulled it out of his hiding place yesterday and aimed it at the walker.
He stared at the walker for a few seconds and pulled out his knife, deciding to kill this one walker with it instead. He changed his mind once again when the walker was inches away from him and killed it by firing his pistol at it instead. Nicholas watched how the lifeless body of a walker fell down to the ground before someone crashed into his side after charging at him.
His pistol fell out of his grasp as he was pinned against the tree behind him, getting an opportunity to see who just attacked him. It was Glenn. He wasn't alone. Harold was right behind him. He cringed in pain as Glenn punched him in his side before delivering a firm punch to his face. Nicholas was knocked into the ground as Harold kicked him in his stomach, making him gasp in pain.
As Harold was about to kick him again, Nicholas rolled himself out of his way and got himself back on his feet. He swung his fist at Harold and Harold didn't have enough time to dodge it. Harold stumbled backwards when Nicholas' fist collided with his face. It wasn't all, though. Harold's eyes widened as his glasse were knocked off his face and landed on the ground. His vision became more blurry, making him unable to take a look at Nicholas.
Seeing what just happened to Harold, Glenn charged at Nicholas and brought him back to the ground as Harold started searching for his glasses, knowing he won't be able to fight Nicholas without them. Glenn got himself on top of Nicholas and kicked him in his knee, making Nicholas scream in pain. Nicholas's pain didn't last for long though as he quickly striked back.
He got himself on top of Glenn and punched him right in his gunshot wound as Glenn wince in pain. Realizing it was a way to defeat Glenn, Nicholas delivered a few more firm punches into his shoulder, before pushing his finger into it, making Glenn scream in pain. After making sure Glenn will stay on the ground, Nicholas quickly went to Harold who just managed to find his glasses.
After Harold put his glasses back on his nose, regaining his vision, the first thing he saw was Nicholas's fist flying right at his face. Nicholas punched right in the face, knocking him to the ground and noticed a group of walkers walking towards them. He quickly fleed from the scene, leaving Harold and Glenn to be eaten by the walkers as the undead surrounded Glenn and Harold.
Rick was sitting all by himself in the room of his house, knowing the meeting where the residents of Alexandria will decide whether he will be kicked out of Alexandria or not. Michonne walked into the room, leaning against the doorway and stared at him for a few seconds.
"Rick." She called out for him as Rick looked over his shoulder at her, "Are you ready?"
"Carol, Daryl, Chef, Chris, Jo and me..." Rick began as Michonne stepped away from the doorway and walked over to him, "We worked it out together. Carol took six guns from the armory. I still have one, she still has one." He looked at her and held out the gun which was given to him earlier by Carol to her, "We lied to you because I wasn't sure how you'd take it, what you'd do."
Michonne sighed as and threw her jacket on the bed, "You think I'd try to stop you?"
"Well, you did hit me over the head." Rick pointed out, lowering the gun.
"That was for you, not them." Michonne pointed out in return.
Rick got up from the bed and came over to Michonne, looking straight into her eyes, "I was afraid you'd talk me out of it. You could've."
"We don't need them here." Michonne shook her head, "I don't need my sword. I think you can find a way. We can find a way. And if we don't... I'm still with you. Something's gonna happen. Just don't make something happen." Rick held out the gun to her once again, telling her to take it without saying any words as Michonne grabbed it and pushed it closer to him, "Don't be too long."
She turned away from Rick and walked out of the room, beginning to head towards the place where the meeting was going to take place. After watching how Michonne walked out of the room, Rick sat back down on the bed and buried his face in his hands, recalling a certain words he heard from Bob shorty before Bob died of his wounds.
"You're gonna find yourself in a place where it's like how it used to be." Bob's voice words flew through his head, "And if you let too much go along the way, that's not gonna work. 'Cause you're gonna be back in the real world."
He got up from the bed, intended to make his way to the meeting. He stopped in his tracks a second later, though. Out of the corner of his eye, he could notice something about the gate. He walked over to the window to take a better look at the gate, noticing it was slightly open. He stepped away fron the window and picked up his jacket from the bed before walking out of the room, wanting to know if his eyes weren't playing a trick on him.
He put his jacket on himself and ran out of the house. He made his way the gate and saw that it was indeed slightly open. What made everything worse, he noticed a trail of blood on the ground which could mean only one thing. The walkers were somewhere in Alexandria right now. He quickly closed the gate to prevent more walkers from entering Alexandria and began following the trail, wanting to find the undead before they will hurt anyone.
The sun had come down from the sky and was replaced with a moon which was shining brightly on the horizon. The meeting regarding Rick's situation was about to start. Deanna stared at the campfire in front of her, her hands in the pockets. The campfire was surrounded by a large group of people from Alexandria and Rick's group who came to the meeting spot to talk about what happened yesterday.
The group gathered around the campfire consisted of Deanna, Reg, Spencer, Emma, Kitty, Jessie, Eric, Bruce, Tobin, Francine, Dakota, Sam, Rock, Spud, Brody, Zoey, B, Cameron and Jo, only a name of few. Carol, Chef, Chris, Abraham, Izzy, Noah, Alejandro, Heather, Eugene, Maggie, Noah, Izzy, Sanders and Michonne were present at the meeting spot too, wanting to convince them they shouldn't kick Rick out.
After waiting for a few more moments, Deanna spoke up to her people, "We're going to start."
"Can we wait?" Maggie asked, "There's still people coming. Glenn, Harold, Rick."
"What about Geoff?" Alejandro asked, "He won't be here?"
"He's at the clinic right now." Brody explained, "From what he said to me if he will come to the meeting, he wants to keep Bridgette's company."
Alejandro nodded, "I see."
"Why are you asking?" Brody asked out of curiosity.
"Just curious." Alejandro replied.
"We're going to start. It's already dark." Deanna stick with her decision of starting the meeting right now, "We're going to talk about what happened. Not the fight. Not what precipitated it. We're dealing with that. We're going to talk about one of our constables, Rick Grimes. We're going to talk about how he had a postol he stole from the armory, about how he pointed it at people. And we're going to talk about what he said. I was hoping he'd be here."
"He said he's coming." Michonne said.
"I'm sure he'll be here." Carol gave Deanna a sweat smile, "And I'm sure we can work this all out."
Nicholas stumbled through the woods, trying to reach Alexandria as soon as possible. If it wasn't for the fact that the forest had been completely dark since the sun went down, he would have make it back to his community a long time ago. He knew he didn't have to worry about Glenn and Harold attacking him again as he was certain the walkers from earlier had eaten them.
He found out he was wrong about Harold and Glenn a few seconds later. He turned around when he heard a branch broken by someone and was greeted by the punch to the face by Glenn. He was knocked down to the ground and looked up, seeing Harold and Glenn who were covered in blood of the walkers he left with it. He grabbed the walker and pinned it against the wall behind him.
Not wasting any time, Glenn and Harold began brutally beating Nicholas, hitting and kicking him all over his body as they unleashed the anger they felt towards him after everything he did to them and their group. The memory of Dylan's gruesome death flew through their minds as they continued to beat him up. They didn't stop until Nicholas' entire face was covered in blood and bruises.
"Dylan died because of you." Harold glared at Nicholas, "We had to watch him get ripped apart because of you."
Glenn glared at Nicholas as he delivered another firm punch to his face, "And we tried to tell you how it is, how it has to be and you try to kill us?"
Nicholas bursted into tears as Glenn pulled out the gun Nicholas had dropped earlier and put it against his forehead, "...I was scared. I was scared. I don't belong out here. Shut up I don't- I don't belong..."
Glenn let out a tearful breath after hearing Nicholas' tearful words as Harold put his hand on his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and saw Harold looking at him with a grim look on his face, looking like he was about to cry too, "This isn't who we are Glenn."
Glenn pulled the gun away from Nicholas forehead and got himself off him. He sat down next to Nicholas, breaking into tears as Harold put a comforting hand on his shoulder, breaking into tears himself.
Rick ran through the streets of Alexandria, searching for any signs of walkers which entered the community through the opened gate as he knew how low he was on time right now as the walkers could attack anyone at any moment. He ran into the area between the houses when he heard when he heard a dog barking, knowing there could have been only one reason why it started barking.
He stopped close to the window which was showing a dog which was the source of all of this barking and looked around himself, wanting to know if the walkers were somewhere around here. He didn't had to look for long. A walker approached him from behind as Rick heard how it approached him. He turned around to face it as the undead lunged towards him.
Rick grabbed it by it's throat with his left hand and quickly stabbed it right in the head with the knife he was holding in his right one. The walker fell down to the ground as another undead approached Rick. He grabbed it by it's clothes and pushed it away from him into a nearby wall and titled his head to the side when he heard another walker coming towards him.
He stabbed the walker in the head, getting rid of it, before the walker from earlier made it's way back to him and brought him down to the ground, it's rotted teeth inches away from his face. He tried to get it off him to no avail. Knowing he had to get it off him as soon as possible, he pulled out his gun and began forcing it upwards into the walker's throat. He clenched his teeth as bits of blood began coming down from it's neck.
He fired his pistol a few seconds later when it was still in the walker's throat. The walker's face was blown up by the shot, blood spraying everywhere and covering him. He pushed the walker's lifeless body to the side and used the sleeve of his jacket to wipe off the blood off his face.
The meeting regarding Rick's situation continued and Deanna allowed the members of Rick's group to speak about their leader and tell everyone what they thought about him. Not wasting any time, Rick's group immediately started to talk about their leader, knowing it was their chance to convince them that they shouldn't kick Rick out of Alexandria and that they needed him if they wanted to survive.
"...And after being out there and then not being how you were out there, it can drive you crazy." Michonne looked around the people gathered around her as she voiced what she thought about Rick, "Rick just wants his family to live. He wants all of you to live. Who he is is who you're gonna be... if you're lucky."
"I've known Rick almost since all of this started." Chef began to speak about his friend, "He began making important decisions right after he was brought into our camp and eventually became the leader of our group. I supported his leadership ever since he stepped up as a leader. I always respected all of this decisions, even the ones I didn't agree with. I'm sure many of us wouldn't be here right if it wasn't for him and his leadership."
"Rick Grimes saved my life over and over." Carol was the next person from Rick's group who spoke up, "There's terrifying people out there. And he rescued me from them. People like me, people like us need people like him. I know what happened last night was scary. And I'm sure he's sorry for that. But maybe we should listen to what he was saying."
"Simply put, there is a vast ocean of shit you people don't know shit about." Abraham stated, "Rick knows every fine grain of said shit... and then some."
"At first, I was against Rick's leadership." Alejandro said, "After Rick joined our group, he and the other member of our group who is not with us anymore became fighting over who should be the leader of our group. They both had different ways of handling the walkers. I and Heather." He put his hand on Heather's shoulder as Heather nodded in confirmation, "We used to support Rick's opposition. Now, after all this time, our opinion regarding his leadership has changed. Now, I know that Rick is a capable leader who knows what has to be done to ensure our group, our family's survival."
Chris nodded in agreement, "The family that that our group has become as the time passed would have never become it if it wasn't for him. I don't think I would be the man I am right now if he didn't step up as a leader. This community, you people... that family... you want to be a part of it, too."
"I think we heard enough from Rick's group." Emma said right after Chris said what he had to say. She looked at Jo, "Jo. Do you have anything to say about this? As a person who came from the outside just like Rick and isn't from his group?"
"What is it to say from me?" Jo replied. This was the chance to voice her opinion about the way Alexandria was handling the outside and she was not going to let it pass. She was going to say everything she had on her mind, "What he said to you yesterday had to be said sooner or later. Your ignorance of the world outside the walls is going to get all of you killed sooner or later. Do you think if you pretend like the world behind the walls doesn't exist, the dangers will ignore you too? No. They won't. The walkers or the living who have bad intentions will come here sooner or later and what are you going to do when it happens? Nothing. Because you never learned how to handle such situations."
"Before we hear from anyone else, I- I would like to share something in the spirit of transparency." Deanna stepped forward after Jo voiced her mind about this matter as Emma looked suprised by Jo's words as she was certain it would work in her benefit, not the other way around, "Father Gabriel came to see me the day before yesterday and he said our new arrivals can't be trusted, that they were dangerous, that they would put themselves before this community. And not one day later, Rick seemed to demonstrate all the things Father Gabriel said. I had hoped Gabriel would be here tonight."
"I don't see him here, Deanna. So you're just saying what someone said." Jessie pointed out, "Did you tape him?"
"He's not here." Maggie stated.
"Neither is Rick." Deanna pointed out.
Maggie turned away from the crowd and began walking to where she thought she'd find Gabriel. His church, "Excuse me."
Izzy got up from her seat and followed her, "I'll go with you."
After returning from his walk and not closing the gate properly, Gabriel made his way back to his church. He saw one person inside. He walked further into the church and saw who it was. It was Sasha.
"I came here..." She said as Gabriel walked past her. He walked over to the table and looked down at it as Sasha continued, "Because I don't- I don't know what to do." Gabriel looked over his shoulder at her, "I'm losing my head. Can you help me?"
"No." Gabriel gave her a cold reply
After hearing his answer, Sasha revealed the thought which was flying on her head ever since her brother died, "I think I want to die."
"Why wouldn't you want to die?" Gabriel asked as he looked at Sasha with a disgusted look on his face, "You don't deserve to be here. What you did can never be undone. The dead don't choose, but the choices you made, how you sacrificed your own."
Sasha glared at him, "I know what you're doing."
"Bob was mutilated." Gabriel spat out, taking a few steps towards Sasha and pointed at her, "Because of your sins."
Sasha shook her head, not wanting to hear any of this, "Stop it."
"Your brother felt he was apart from it." Gabriel ignored her demands, "He was a part of it. He didn't deserve to be here. You don't!"
"Stop it!" Sasha snapped as she reached her breaking point. She got up from her seat and pinned him against the wall, "Stop it!"
The fight between her and Gabriel didn't last long as Gabriel didn't even try to fight back. She hit him in the face with the butt of her rifle, which knocked him to the floor. She aimed her rifle at him, looking like she was seconds away from pulling the trigger as Gabriel looked at her tearfully.
"Do it." He pleaded her to kill him, sobbing.
Sasha let out one deep breath after another as she was trying to force herself to pull the trigger, but something inside her was stopping her from ending Gabriel's life. It was when the door to the church was opened and Maggie and Izzy walked in, seeing what was happening between Sasha and Gabriel right now.
"Sasha." Maggie called out for Sasha to gain her attention as she and Izzy walked over to her.
"Don't do this." Izzy said. She wasn't a big fan of Gabriel herself, but she knew he didn't deserve to die, "I know what you're feeling right. I went through this when Zeke died. Noah helped me to get through it. Let me help you just like he helped me."
Having enough of everything and having reached her breaking point, Sasha bursted into tears. She lowered her gun and turned away from Gabriel, crying as Maggie and Izzy looked down at a crying Gabriel.
"You should let her." Gabriel said with tears streaming down his cheeks, "They died. Everything Izzy said to me after you killed those cannibals was true. They all died because of me."
Izzy nodded her head at him, "They did."
"It is true." Maggie crouched down in front of Gabriel as Izzy brought him back on his feet, "Everything Izzy said to you back then was indeed true."
The meeting regarding Rick's situation and now it was turn for Deanna's people to voice their mind about Rick and what they should do with him. Emma's opinion about Rick stayed the same as she still believed he should be kicked out from Alexandria. As she voiced her opinion, she acted like she didn't see the look Noah gave her and how he shook his head at her.
Her sister had a different opinion about Rick as she believed Rick should stay in Alexandria and show them how to survive in the would behind the walls which suprised Emma as she didn't except her sister to disagree with her. Cameron, just like Emma, thought Rick should be kicked out, because of him starting to fear Rick after what he did yesterday. Brody and Rock, just like Kiity, thought Rick shouldn't be kicked out from Alexandria as they didn't want to end up like Lorenzo.
"I just want to keep my family safe. You know?" Tobin said as now it was his turn to speak, "And I don't even know what that means anymore, but if it means that we've got to get rid of..."
His words died in his throat when Rick arrived at the meeting spot. He was covered in blood and had a dead walker resting on his shoulder. He stopped in the middle of the meeting spot, making sure everyone had their eyes on him and dropped the walker on the ground. A few residents of Alexandria gasped in shock after seeing a walker on their side of the fence.
"There wasn't a guard on the gate." Rick said, "It was open."
Deanna immediately looked at her son as Spencer explained himself, "I asked Gabriel to close it."
"Go." Deanna said as Spencer nodded and left the meeting spot to get Gabriel.
"I didn't bring it in." Rick stepped towards the people of Alexandria to make sure all of them would have their eyes on him as he spoke to them, "It got inside on its own. They always will- the dead and the living, because we're in here. And the ones out there, they'll hunt us. They'll find us. They'll try to use us. They'll try to kill us. But we'll kill them." Jo nodded her head at him as a smile grew on her face, feeling how she just found the right man to follow, "We'll survive. I'll show you how. You know, I was thinking- I was thinking how many of you do I have to kill to save your lives? But I'm not gonna do that. You're gonna change. I'm not sorry for what I said last night. I'm sorry for not saying it sooner. You're not ready, but you have to be. Right now, you have to be. Luck runs out."
"...You're not one of us!" Pete's furious voice echoed through the meeting place. Everyone looked to where the scream came from and saw Pete walking towards Rick with Michonne's katana in his right hand, glaring at Rick with murderous intentions in his eyes, "You're not one of us!"
Reg quickly ran over to Pete, trying to stop him from doing anything, "Pete, you don't want to do this."
"Get the hell away from me, Reg." Pete said through gritten teeth, his eyes set on his Rick, "Get away from me."
"Not now." Carol whispered to Rick when he looked at her, asking her if he should step in right now without saying any words.
"Get away." Pete continued to refuse to listen to Reg, "Get away!"
Wanting to reach his target, Pete shoved Reg away from him, accidentally slitting his throat with the katana he was wielding. Deanna screamed as she had to watch how her husband was just mortally wounded by Pete as all of the residents of Alexandria gasped in shock after seeing what just happened. Reg fell down to the ground, bleeding heavily from his throat as Deanna desperately tried to help him while Chef and Abraham charged at Pete to stop him from hurting more people and tackled him to the ground. Abraham disarmed Pete and twisted his arm to make sure he won't try to fight back, using his other hand to pin his head to the ground as Chef held Pete by his legs.
"This is him!" Pete shouted as he tried to free himself from Chef and Abraham's grasp to no avail, "This is him!"
"Oh, God! Oh, my love." Deanna sobbed over the loss of her husband, knowing there was nothing she could do to save him as Reg's eyes slowly rolled backwards, meaning he had bled out, "No, my love, no. No, my love."
Every resident of Alexandria gathered around the campfire watched what just happened in a horrified shock. Even Spud who was known to have delayed reaction by everyone who knew him watched the entire thing in horror. Noah looked at Emma and saw the looks she had on her face. She looked as if she had just realized how big of a fool she was being for all this time. Even Michonne was stunned by what just happened as she remembered telling Rick how she won't have to use her swords anymore before the meeting, realizing what she said to him back then was not true.
"It's him!" Pete kept shouting those words over and over again, "This is him!"
"Rick." Deanna slowly looked up at Rick, her sorrowful expression shifting into the one of a rage, "Do it."
It was all Rick needed to hear from her. Without any hesitation, he turned around to look down at Pete and executed him with a shot to the head. A few people who watched the execution screamed when the sound of a gunshot rang through their ears.
"...Rick?" It was when a familiar voice rang through Rick's ears.
Rick turned to the source of the voice and saw Daryl, Duncan, Brick and Aaron who have returned from their recruitment mission. They were accompanied by one person he was very familiar with. This person was Morgan. The two friends looked at each other, exchanging stunned looks...
We're finally done with season 5! Only 6 more seasons to go!
Rick killing Pete will always be my second favourite Rick's kill (My favourite one being Rick killing Joe). The beauty of it was Rick's absolute lack of hesitation.
Remember when I mentioned my idea for a crossover between Ed Edd n Eddy and Attack on Titan? I recently posted the first chapter of this story. I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think. :)
Let's end this chapter with a question I always ask at the end of the season: From Total Drama characters, who do you think will die in season 6?
Hope it wasn't that bad. See you in another chapter.
