A/N: So I got some motivation back and this chapter just sort of happened. I'm working hard on this story so I really hope you guys like it! So as always please review and let me know what you think. Also if you have any ideas for me involving another story you like to see I'd love to hear them. I'm still trying to figure out the whole Parenthood story, but I did some looking and there are a lot of story's where Daryl has a child, so I might switch gears; and just do another OC story, but opinions, advice and suggestions are always welcomed!
Chapter 14: Blood Ain't Everything
The Dixons had been walking for a few hours now; Daryl had taken point and was leading the way to who knows where. Riley walked in the middle while Merle brought up the rear. Riley watched Daryl's back as he moved through the trees. She then glanced back and saw Merle looking at her, his eyes held something she never thought could be found in Merle Dixons eyes; remorse
Riley looked back at the brother in front of her. He stopped and turned around looking at his siblings "what happened back there?" he questioned looking more at Merle then Riley
Both Riley and Merle knew what he was talking about "back there" meant Woodbury. Riley looked to Merle who was looking at Daryl. When Merles eyes flashed over to Riley Daryl got even more worried
"if it has to do with Riles I think I ought to know" Daryl hissed out.
Riley watched as Merle took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Woodbury ain't all its cracked up to be" Merle started looking back over to Daryl "that Governor guy he…he makes people feel safe but there ain't nothing safe about him or that place."
Daryl narrowed his eyes "how does Riley fit in to all this". Riley stepped in between her brothers standing closer to Merle then Daryl.
"Daryl I want you to know Merle had nothing to do with it…it was me, all my fault. I wouldn't give up the location of the prison"
Daryl's eyes glanced from his little sister to his big brother "what happened to her" his tone was even and sounded calm but right now Daryl Dixon was anything but calm.
Riley stepped in front of Merle. Daryl took one look in her eyes and knew exactly what happened. He had seen that look before, seen the need to shield Merle and the memories of that day flooded his mind.
"Riles" Daryl hushed out. Riley's eyes filled with tears she too was remembering that horrible day. Merle looked between his siblings and something about the way Daryl reacted to this situation threw him for a loop it was almost like he already knew but how. Merle knew that Daryl and Riley had always been able to know what the other was thinking just by look, stares and shrugs. Merle noticed how Daryl was locked into Riley's wide blue eyes. 'The look' he thought; Daryl had seen it before.
"WHEN" Merle shouted out
Both Riley and Daryl's eyes snapped over to Merle. Now Riley had placed herself in front of Daryl. Merle looked from Riley to Daryl and then back again
"why" Merle asked in a tone that was more pleading than angry
Riley walked forward "if you knew you would have killed him, then you would have gone to jail and I couldn't let you go to jail. I needed you…we needed you" Riley rambled out gesturing behind her to Daryl "you know how he was, if you disappeared we would have died…I couldn't let you find out, it would have killed you Merle…I need you…I need you" Riley was crying now and Merle pulled her into his chest placing a hand on her head and one on her neck bringing her as close to him as he could. Merle's eyes too were shining with tears when he glanced up Daryl had his head bowed but Merle knew he was fighting off the emotions...the memoires
Rick pulled into the prison and cut the engine of the car. He placed his hand on the door handle but froze how was he going to tell Carl that Riley wasn't here that she left with her brothers. Deep down Rick knew they would return but Carl wouldn't believe that or wouldn't hear it all he would hear was that Riley was gone.
Rick glanced back at Maggie and Glenn. With a breath and a nod they opened the doors and stepped out onto the gravel. Hershel and Beth were beside Maggie in an instant. Maggie assured them she was fine but that Glenn might need to be looked over.
Rick watched as Michonne exited the car and then glance up to see Carol standing in the doorway of the courtyard holding the baby, while Carl rushed passed her. When he reached his dad, Carl gave him a quick hug but then went right to the car and looked through the windows
"where is she" Carl questioned his heart rate slowing down and speeding up all at once "where is she?"
Rick looked over to Glenn and Maggie, they simply nodded their heads as Herschel pulled Glenn inside.
"Carl" Rick began kneeling down so he was eye level with his son; he then pulled out the comic book and handed to Carl, Carl gripped the comic book tightly in his hands glancing over the cover. It was Spiderman.
'I don't know Batman is totally awesome I mean he's rich has an out of control normal life and then at night he gets to run around and save his community' Carl looked at Riley who was sitting next to him on the porch steps, and noticed the amused smirk across her face. Carl put his hands up 'what you don't think being Batman would be cool you get a butler' Riley simply shook her head 'ok' Carl started again 'Superman then, you get to fly see through people's clothes and not only save your community but also the planet.' Once again Riley shook her head 'Spiderman all the way' Riley spoke with a grin. 'You get to swing from building to building by webs that shoot out of your wrist, save your town, community and planet and you do this all while being a teenager…now that's badass' Carl stared at the girl before him. Sure Spiderman was cool and badass if you really thought about it, but to Carl Riley was the most badass superhero around and he was glad he got to call her a sister'
"Merle was there at Woodbury" Rick paused and tried to sense if Carl was focused in on his words
Carl heard alright "why the hell does that matter" He took a step backwards
Rick returned to his feet "I wouldn't allow Merle back here at the prison; Daryl decided that if Merle couldn't come neither should they and that included Riley" Rick took a step towards Carl but Carl took another step back
"so you just let them go, we could have locked Merle up somewhere else! Why didn't you think of that! You just let them go, you let her go! You let RILEY GO!" and with that Carl took off running back into the prison
Rick stood for a moment watching as Carol turned around and rushed after his son. He wasn't going to regret his choices. Did he hate that he had to make them; without a doubt. Riley and Daryl Dixon were family and it was a hard pill to shallow thinking that he was the reason they weren't where they belonged.
The Dixon children started walking again. They were looking for a place to set up camp. Daryl again was in the front with Riley in the middle. Merle was slowly walking in the back thinking over everything that just came into light involving his sister. There was something eating away at him that he just had to ask
"Where were you when this happened?" All three stopped walking. Daryl turned around; he looked over at Riley who simply stared back
"what are you getting at?" Daryl questioned back not liking what Merle was insinuating. Did he really think if he was home he wouldn't have tried to stop it.
"it's just a simply question baby brother where were you when our little sister was getting raped by our father!" Merle ended his voice raising to a yell.
"I was at WORK, unlike you! Where were you huh!? Off getting high, drunk. Why is it always 'where were you' how about 'where the fuck were you!"
Riley processed Daryl's words and slowly spun around she had never thought about that. It was always Daryl that found her, Daryl that patched her up, Daryl that brought her into the ER through the back so no one would see. Merle was never there
Riley looked at Merle "he's right" she whispered. Merle looked down locking eyes on her as she took a steps backwards until she was standing next to Daryl "it was always Daryl…you were never there… it was always Daryl"
"baby girl" Merle started "you have to understand.."
"understand what" Riley cut him off getting more and more pissed off; her whole life she thought it was Merle that was her knight in shining armor turns out she was wrong so very very wrong "that you were too busy getting high or drunk to care. Daryl was always there, maybe not at the right time but he always came back always fixed things…and you…you were to busy turning into dad"
Merle felt like the air had been removed from the world around him. Riley's words rang in his ears. He watched as Riley pushed Daryl in front of her and they started to make their way back the way they came
"where are you going" Merle was able to mumble out
"back where we belong" Daryl spoke out grabbing Riley's shoulder and pulling her in front of him
Merle looked back "I can't go there with you…the Chinaman"
"he's KORAN" both Dixon's shouted at the same time
Riley stopped and glanced around Daryl locking her eyes on her oldest brother
"we may be the ones walking away but like always you're the one that's too late"
Riley then turned back around and started walking all thoughts going to Carl and the baby 'please don't hate me Carl' she thought as she walked through the trees in the dense forest.
Carl paced up and down the perch on the second floor of the cell block. Every now and again he would glance over to where Riley's cell was located. He gripped the comic book so tightly in his hands that he heard the paper start to tear. He then stopped and slumped down to the ground his feet swinging off the ledge as he rested his forehead on the bar above him.
'She'll come back' he thought "She'll come back" he then spoke aloud it helped to hear the words spoken out made them sound truer.
'how could she leave though….I know she probably didn't want to, no of course she didn't want to, but Daryl is her brother and she would do anything to protect him….but I'm her brother too…maybe that's why she left then to protect me and the baby…Merle was always a wild card. Riley loves us…she'll come back…she'll come back'
"she'll come back". He then heard the baby start to cry and saw Beth rush over to the cell bottle in hand 'only until I get back' Carl smirked "she'll come back"
Riley and Daryl were a few yards in front of Merle. When Riley glanced over at Daryl
"sorry" she spoke out then glanced back to make sure Merle couldn't hear
"it was always you, thinking back on it I see that now. Merle was always there to do something that would make me forget he wasn't around…make me forget it was you that helped pick up the pieces. I'm sorry Daryl"
Daryl threw his arm around his sister bringing her body tumbling into his "Riley I'm sorry" Riley looked up at her brother pushing a few strands of hair out of face as she did. "I…I wasn't always the best brother, I could have done a lot better, I'm sorry I wasn't so great when we were younger…I'm trying though, I love you and I'll do whatever I can to make sure that right here right now in this shitty ass world we're living in that you'll be safe…I promise you that"
Riley wrapped her free arm around Daryl's waist "thanks Daryl, but what matters it that you were there then and you're here now; I realize now that I need you, I've always needed you and you were always there. I have no doubt that you'll always continue to be there" Riley ended smiling up at him. Daryl leaned down and kissed the top of her head
"forever and always"
Rick had moved down to the fence and stood looking out over the fields. He turns though at the sound of someone approaching. Herschel smiles at Rick
"penny for your thoughts" the old man says with concern filled eyes
Rick looks back out and sighs "did I do the wrong thing…sending the Dixon's away" Rick speaks looking back at the old man who has become Rick's own father figure.
Herschel sighs as well and looks out among the fields watching as the wind rustles the grass
"you did what you did because it needed to be done, otherwise you wouldn't have done it am I right?" Herschel peeks over and sees Rick nod his head slowly.
Seeing that maybe Rick isn't certain that the decision is truly okay Herschel tries a different approach
"in the words of a very wise, protective and loyal woman "choices must be made" and you made one but only you and you alone can figure out if it was the right one or the wrong one"
Before Rick or Herschel can say anymore they are silenced by the sound of a truck coming up the dirt road to the prison. They watch in horror as it plows through the fence and in to the grounds. Both man fall to ground for cover waiting and watching to see what will happen. A single shot rings out and they hear a woman scream Rick peers over and sees that Axel was shot in the head. Rick takes a chance and sits up a bit more it is then he notices the Governor lowering a gun, he then whistles and the warfare begins
Shots ring out and before anyone knows what is truly happening the driver of the truck jumps out and opens the trailer, letting a small herd of Walkers free and amble about in the grass knoll of the prison.
Rick looks to Herschel; Herschel knows what Rick needs to do and he nods letting him know its okay to leave him he'll be fine. Rick jumps up and starts to take Walkers out, as he turns to take out one that is getting to close for comfort an arrow comes flying and lands straight in the skull of the Walker bringing it to the ground.
Rick looks behind him and a grin graces his lips there is Riley Dixon with that classic Dixon smirk, she is lowering her crossbow and making her way over to the hole that will grant her access inside. Daryl appears next followed by Merle. Rick doesn't have time to be happy about the return or disappointed that Merle is along for the ride. He turns his attention back to the problem at hand.
Minutes pass before the chaos settles. Once things are calm, Rick looks around and sees the damage done. The fence is open and Walkers are starting to migrate towards the field. Rick lowers his head and then starts to make his way back towards the prison; thinking about what and how to tell his family what has happened and why it happened.
Rick however is pulled from his thoughts when a gentle voice says his name
"RICK" Riley says softly, she just collected her last arrow and looks up to see the man she would trust with her life. She sees his head rise and she smiles taking off in a run towards the man
Rick opens his arms and Riley falls into them.
"I knew you be back" Rick says resting his chin on her head and looking out to see Daryl coming up the hill with a small grin on his face as well. Then Merle appears over the horizon. Rick's smile flatters, he pulls away from Riley
"come on…I have some explaining to do….and I know two people who are going to be very happy to see you"
Riley's eyes shine "he doesn't hate me does he?" she questions in a heartbreaking voice
"he never could" and with that they lead the way back towards the cell block
They arrive with Rick entering first when he does he sees Beth sitting with the baby, and Carol leaning against the wall tear streaks down her face. Carl is sitting in front of Beth his back to the door. Maggie and Glenn see Rick and move forward the sudden movement makes Carl turn his head, he sees his dad enter but it's the people behind him that make him rise from his seat
Riley walks in behind Rick followed by Daryl and Merle. Riley watches how all eyes go to Carl and then back to Riley like its some sort of tennis match. Riley doesn't care though let them watch; she slowly walks forward when she is a foot away she stops unsure of how Carl will react, she left him after promising she would return. What happens next though makes her love the boy even more
Carl watches as Riley walks towards him then stops. He looks in her eyes and sees the fear and panic of rejection. Carl however knew all along she be back. Carl smirks and relief fills her ocean blue eyes, he then closes the gap between them and wraps his arms around her his sheriffs hat falls from his head as Riley pulls him closer
"I knew you come back"
"never doubt a promise made by a Dixon" she smirks
Riley pulls away a moment later when she sees a blonde head appear over Carl's shoulder. She breaks out into a smile when she sees who is in Beth's arms. The baby somehow knowing that this person is important begins to fuss and reach out of Beth's arms. Riley rushes forward smiling at Beth before scooping the baby into her own arms. Beth smiles at the scene and looks up to see everyone else doing the same.
Riley lowers her head and kisses the baby's forehead "hey little one" she mumbles. The baby reaches for a piece of Riley's hair and smiles back. Riley is pulled from her moment of peace her moment of escape when she hears
"so you playin momma now"
Riley raises her head seeing Beth is still in front of her she carefully hands the baby back, the baby makes a noise of protest but Riley is too focused on the anger surging through her body
"where's the real momma…I knew that woman…"
Before anyone could realize what happened Riley is standing in front of Merle crossbow raised
"NOT ANOTHER WORD" Riley hisses out through clenched teeth. Daryl slowly approaches his sister placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. Riley glances up. Daryl can see her jaw clench, he gives her a look and she lowers her crossbow a bit
Riley looks away from Daryl back into the eyes of Merle. No words are spoken but the message is clear. Merle lowers his head 'stupid stupid stupid' he thinks
Riley walks back to Beth reaching for the baby who willing goes with her. She then looks back at Carl nods once and walks towards his cell. Carl looks over to his father but then quickly follows after his sisters.
Riley knowing what Rick is going to tell the group doesn't feel the need to be present. She would rather reconnect with Carl and 'little one' she knows Daryl calls her ass kicker but to her she's simply 'little one'
Carl sat against the wall as Riley sat cross-legged on the bed with the baby bouncing in her lap. Every now and then Riley would lift the baby high in the air and watch as she giggled, she would then lower her back down and place a kiss on her head.
Riley looked over and saw Carl who wears a smile on his face. She looked at the boy and smiled back "you can ask if you want"
Carl's smile wavered "ask what" Riley looked at him with a look that said 'don't play dumb'
Carl sighed "okay okay…what happened at Woodbury"
Riley cradled the baby and slowly rocked her back and forth she then began "there's this out of control guy who calls himself the Governor…"
Fifteen minutes later Riley had finished she made sure to leave out the part between herself and the Governor; Carl didn't need to know.
"Wow" was the only word to escape Carl's lips. Riley smirked and nodded her head. She glanced down and saw that little one was still awake and simply staring up at Riley with her wide blue eyes.
"why don't you go see your dad…make sure he's okay. I'm going to try to get this peanut to sleep" Carl nodded his head and stood, he walked over to the girls and kissed his baby sister on the head he then leaned over and hugged Riley again "I'm glad your back" he spoke before walking out of the cell.
Riley watched him go happy that she was back where she belonged with the people that mattered most. She stood and walked from the cell; she traveled up the steps and carefully stepped over Daryl's mattress. From up here the moonlight shined through and you could see the twinkle of the stars.
"okay little one time to rest" Riley then started to walk back and forth on the perch, she softly sang to the baby while staring down at her
"Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly And the dreams that you dreamed of Dreams really do come true ooh oh Someday I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly And the dream that you dare to, Oh why, oh why can't I?"
Riley finished the song and glanced down to see that the baby had fallen asleep, not wanting to be far from her she slowly walked to her own cell and placed a pillow along the wall, she then laid the baby on the bed and crawled in after her. She placed a protective hand on her stomach and as she drifted off whispered "love you little one"
Merle watched from his place locked outside of the cell block as his sister rocked the baby to sleep. Merle could hear the words of the song she sang and a sad smile graced his face. That song was their mothers favorite Merle remembers watching 'The Wizard of Oz' with his mom and her telling him that if you believed in something strong enough and dreamed big anything could happen. Merle remembered the first time Riley saw that movie, she fell in love with it and sang that song non stop for weeks.
A few days had passed and while some members of the group where still unhappy Merle was there made do. Riley had given the baby to Beth as Rick had asked her to join him on watch. Riley while she didn't want to leave the baby jumped at the chance to have some one on one time with the man
The two sat on the catwalk together the gentle breeze being the only source of noise. Rick looked over at the girl. While she looked better than she did three days ago; Rick was still worried about her. She was still so tiny Rick had no idea how she handled the crap thrown at her or how she could pull through.
" Riles…" Rick started "you know I'm here if you ever want to talk right?"
Riley looked over she nodded her head and gave a small smile. Rick sighed he knew he would have to tell her that he knew what had happened
"Daryl told me" Rick stated, figuring it was the best route to just be up front
Riley looked down for a moment and then back out to the fields
"things happen Rick, not always good. I've learned though that you can only sulk for so long. In the end the things that happen don't change or go away; we only have control over our reactions. You have to choose what you're going to do with the cards you're dealt… choices have to be made." she ended with a grin
Rick looked over seeing how young yet how wise this child was. Rick was glad that he had someone so brave, strong and loyal as part of his group, not only that but this person was helping to raise and take care of his children. Heck this person was his child.
"you know Riley you're an honorary Grimes" Riley looked over with a smirk
"does that mean I can call you dad?"
Rick looked over with a wide smile but before he could answer Riley stands up and pointed to the outer fence "is that Andrea?"
Riley and Rick rushed out and were quickly followed by Daryl, Glenn and Maggie who heard them shouting out from their own watch posts.
"ARE YOU ALONE!" Rick shouts
Andrea who was walking with what looked like pet Walkers huffed out
"Yes Rick" she glanced around as Walkers started to close in
She glanced back up at Rick "come on please"
Rick hisses out "keys" and Daryl throws him his set.
Once Andrea was inside a small reunion was played out. Hugs were given and deaths were told. Andrea noticed the baby as well as the absences of Lori. She put two and two together and gave her condolences to Rick and Carl.
Rick however was all done playing nice
"what are you doing here" he blunting spoke
Andrea turned to fully face him "I heard what happened and I wanted to make sure you were all okay"
"that was three days ago" Glenn huffs out
Andrea looked around "I came as soon as I could"
Everyone in the group knew about Andreas involvement with the Governor. No one was interested in what she had to say. Andrea then turned on the defense, blaming Michonne for our sudden lack of support, love and respect.
Andrea was able to plead her case and come up with a plan that seemed logical. She would set up a meeting for Rick and the Governor; they could sit together like two grown men and figuring out a solution so no more people had to die.
Rick agreed to the terms knowing that this would be his best bet at working things out in hopefully a peaceful way. After an hour or so Andrea was given a car and left back to Woodbury Riley watched the car drive out of sight and then glanced over to Rick
"you know a meeting with this man ain't gonna change nothing he…he doesn't play fair" Riley ended glancing back at Merle as he walked by. Merle held his sisters eye for a minute before following after Daryl.
Rick looked at Riley "I know" Rick says in defeat "but I need to try" he then glances over at Carl who was holding the baby and making her laugh Riley followed his eyes and nodded.
"you know I won't let anything touch them" Riley spoke softly staring at the boy and baby
Rick placed a hand on head "I know kiddo I know" he then ruffled her hair and walked towards his children with a smile on his face. He turned, walking backwards now
"hey Riles" the girl looked back up at the man and cocked an eyebrow
"the answer is yes" Rick spoke with a smile. At first Riley was unsure of what he was talking about but then it dawned on her and she broke out into a smile. Rick turned back around and continued on his way
'I got a dad' Riley thought as she picked up her crossbow and headed inside to help Carol start dinner
Later that night Daryl was sitting on watch in the guard tower when Rick climbed up.
Rick walked over to the edge and peered out at his home
"I want you and Herschel to come with me when I meet with this Governor"
Daryl nodded his head "what about Rye"
Rick shook his head "I need her here, looking after Carl and the baby"
Daryl chuckled "you can say it, you want her here to look after Merle"
Daryl saw Rick smirk "okay that too"
Rick and Daryl stood in the quietness for a bit before Rick spoke "I told Riley she could call me dad…" Rick looked over to Daryl and let the sentence hang in the air
He watched as Daryl's lips curled into a grin. He then turned to Rick and said two simple words before they let the stillness fall back over them "thank you"
The day of the meeting finally arrived Rick and Herschel climbed into the Hyundai. Riley followed Daryl over to the bike
"we'll be back soon okay…keep an eye on things yeah"
Riley let out a low chuckle "keep an eye on someone is more like it"
Daryl shoved her away with a small smile and laugh of his own "see you later kid"
Riley ran down with Carl to pull open the gates and watched as the most important people in her life left to go have a meeting with a one-eyed psycho.
Riley and Carl made their way back inside where Glenn was assigning people different jobs. The minute Riley walked in she could hear Merle mumbling under his breath
"if you got something it say; say it" Riley spoke out hands on her hips
Merle looked over at his sister then the rest of the group
"we should be there, could take him out right now and everything would be done with"
Glenn spoke up handing Carl another box of ammo "we told Rick we would stay here and fortify the place" Merle chuckled at that
"yeah cause a few bullets and some fencing is really going to keep this guy out"
Riley walked over to Merle "I get it Merle, our brother is out there and it sucks, and you probably wish you could be helpful, but its kind of hard to help when nobody trust you. You're not going anywhere and neither are we, where staying here until Rick gets back and we figure out a plan together. Why don't you play nice and try being part of a team… part of a family for once in your life…oh that's right your Merle Dixon and heaven forbid you do something that benefits others" Riley ended she then turned and walked over to Glenn grabbing a few boxes of ammo and followed after Carl
"why don't you just change your name to Riley Grimes, you have no Dixon left in you" Merle threw out as she walked by
Riley stopped she turned and smirked "if it meant not being related to you anymore I do it in a heartbeat" and with that she disappeared out the door.
Carl watches as Riley walks next to him without turning her attention to the boy she simply states "sometimes blood isn't everything"
A few more hours passed and everyone was waiting for the return of Rick to see how the meeting went.
Riley was sitting next to Carl while Beth held the baby; Carl couldn't help but laugh Riley was watching every move Beth made "why don't you just go get her" Carl chuckled out
Riley looked over and pushed her shoulder into his "Carol says it's not good for the baby to get too attached to one person" Riley says with a huff.
Riley watches Beth for another couple of minutes before she stands taking the baby from the her. She returns sitting back down Carl grins "I don't care" he hears Riley mumble out. Before Carl can reply Rick, Herschel and Daryl enter through the cell block door. Daryl walks over and stands by his sister, he notices Merle leaning against a cell; something happened while he was gone and makes note to ask about it later
The tension is thick in the air. Riley watches as Rick walks to his cell leans in and comes back out holding a shotgun
"so I met with this Governor today"
Merle walks through passing Glenn, Maggie and Michonne "just the two of you"
Rick nods. Merle mummers "should have gone when we had the chance"
Riley rolls her eyes and makes eye contact with Michonne the woman also rolls her eyes and Riley can't help but smirk. Michonne lets a small grin pass over her lips before looking back over at Rick. Riley stares at Michonne for a minute longer, she makes a note to get to know this woman, she seems like someone that would be good to have around and wants to know where her head is at.
"we sat for some time, talked about a lot of things" all eyes are back on the leader
"he wants the prison…for what happened at Woodbury."
The room is silent as the words spoken are processed. Riley looks around. Maggie is holding onto Glenn, Beth has tears gleaming in her eyes, Carl simply stares at his father, Herschel watches Rick already knowing all of this information. Riley then looks to Daryl who is watching Merle. Riley glances down at the baby. After a moment she looks back up at Rick. Rick is looking at her, his eyes hold something she has seen before when they were at the farm and she killed Shane 'choices have to be made' Rick then looks around the group before bringing his eyes back to her
"we're going to war"
