All Nightmare Long

Chapter 392

Author's Note: So all of Michonne's scenes with Rick last episode will of course become Jewel's but with different words and actions of course. I love Michonne but Jewel's around so Michonne will be home taking care of Alexandria. Review please.

Mar, Rosita, Mitch and and Eugene's POV:

Mitch looked up from eating as Rosita came in to get food. "Are you going to be giving weapon classes today?"

Rosita looked at him. "That was the plan," she answered. "Why what's up?"

"I was hoping that I could help you," Mitch said. "You know I'm more than capable of helping, that I can teach them, make them see that kids can do more then be afraid."

"What's this about?" Rosita asked as she leaned against the fridge.

"I just want to help," Mitch answered.

"Mitch, as much as I want to believe that, I believe there's more to the story. So, be honest with me, and if I can help, I will. But I need to know the whole story," Rosita told him.

Mitch sighed. "I'm just tired of not being able to do anything, you know. I spent the majority of yesterday trying to get Sam to come out of the closet because he's scared. He's a mini Eugene, except he's not smart, just a coward," he explained.

"He's a kid," Rosita pointed out.

"So am I, so is Mika, so is Carl, and Judith and Hope," Mitch pointed out. "I'd be dead if this group hadn't taken me in, hadn't taught me to survive. And, the way to pay that back isn't trying to get a kid out of the closet and down the stairs, it's to help that kid learn. Maybe not him but others, you know?"

Rosita looked up at him then up at the stairs as Mar came down. "Hey, Mar. Mitch and I were talking and he offered to help me train people with knives and matchetes," she told her.

"Did he?" Mar questioned. "You don't want to babysit Sam anymore, huh?" Mar asked Mitch.

"That obvious?" Mitch questioned.

"Yeah, pretty much," Mar answered with a smirk. "I don't blame you of course, these people get on my nerves for being so naive," she answered as she looked at Rosita. "Up to you, it's your training class."

"I couldn't think of a better helper," Rosita answered. "Let's show these people what a kick assured team we make," she told him.

"Go on and get a jacket on, it's getting cool," Mar instructed. She watched as he went upstairs and looked at her. "Thank you, you don't have to to do that."

Rosita gave a small smile. "I'm not doing anything except for making sure my nephew doesn't die of boredom. Plus I was serious when I said that he'd be a good helper. We're all in this together, Mar, and we all have to look out for each other."

Mar smirked. "Your nephew huh?"

"Well since you are my sister, that does make him my nephew," she said with a smile.

Glenn and Lexi's POV:

Glenn bent down by the fence and stabbed David in the ear as he picked up the note he had written to his wife and sighed.

"One of the Alexandrian's," Lexi said.

"Yeah, his name was David," Glenn said as he stood up. "He was bit, I was hoping he would make it back to say goodbye to his wife, it's what I would want to do, if it was me and Maggie," he told her. "Let's go," he said.

"Enid would go to a building in the middle, surrounded by other buildings, not out in the open or unprotected," Lexi explained.

"She's a survivor," Glenn pointed out. "What were you thinking leaving Alexandria knowing there was a herd out there?"

Lexi looked at him. "Probably the same reason that you were thinking when you helped Rick out in that alley," she told him.

"I wasn't," Glenn said.

"Exactly, and neither was I," Lexi said. "It's what we do, watch out for people, help them,"she told him. "I know that Sasha is going to have my hide when she finds out," she said.

"I'd be more worried about Jewel then Sasha," Glenn told her.

"She is going to be ticked isn't she?" Lexi questioned.

"Ticked is an understatement," Glenn said. "You may be able to slightly calm her down by pointing out that you were watching out for Enid, but just slightly. We have to make sure we get back first," Glenn said. "Let's try that building there," he told her as he cautiously opened the back door of the old restaurant and went in. Lexi raised her rifle and walked with him. Glenn looked out the kitchen door into what used to be the dining room and saw Enid standing at the front door looking out. He put his fingers up to his mouth and stepped out into the restaurant and grabbed Enid from behind and put his hand over her mouth. "Shh,"he told her as he locked the door.

"What the hell are you doing?" Enid asked.

"I'm taking you home," Glenn told her.

Lexi jumped up on the counter and looked at her. "We're taking you home."

"I don't know you," Enid told Glenn. "And you, I don't even know if I like you," she told Lexi.

Lexi shrugged. "You don't have to like us, but you're still going to come back with us," she told Enid.

"She's right, on both counts. Let me ask you Enid, why did you give me water? Don't tell me it was because of Lexi either," Glenn told her.

"I had it, you needed it, that doesn't make us friends," Enid told him.

"We're not friends. I'm doing this for Maggie," Glenn said.

"Your wife?" Enid asked.

"She wouldn't leave you behind, she wouldn't want me to leave you behind, so we're going,"Glenn said.

"I'm not friends with your wife either," Enid pointed out.

"Lexi risked her life to follow you out here, so you wouldn't be alone. You risked her life by sneaking over those gates," Glenn pointed out.

"I didn't ask her too, I didn't want her too. I'm perfectly fine alone," Enid said.

"We don't do things alone," Lexi responded as she jumped off the counter. "We need to go."

Glenn nodded. "Look I'm not having this conversation. We're not leaving you out here, we're going now," he told Enid.

"No,"Enid said as she turned around.

Glenn grabbed her and turned her around, she took a gun out and pointed it at him. Glenn slightly rose his hands and stared at her. "Give me the gun Enid,"he hissed.

Lexi raised her rifle at her. "Give him the gun."

"Turn around and walk away. Both of you," Enid told them.

"You're not going to pull the trigger," Glenn told her. "Lexi put down the rifle."

Lexi looked at him. "She's holding a gun on you," she reminded him.

"She is, but she's not going to pull the trigger, so put down the rifle," Glenn repeated.

Lexi sighed and put down the rifle. "You can't take both of us out," she told him.

Enid looked at her. "I can take one of you out, and I will use it if you make me," she told them.

Glenn grabbed her and then the gun. "Let go," he told her sharply.

Enid let go of the gun. "Ass hole."

Glenn looked at her. You point a gun at us and I'm the ass hole?Let's go out the back, down the alley. We're taking the road, we need visibility."

"Why?" Enid questioned.

"Because half the herd broke off and they're heading toward home, I guess you missed that. Lead the way," Glenn instructed.

Enid angrily grabbed her bag and leaves going outside.

Lexi looked at Glenn. "This is going to be fun," she said as she rolled her eyes. "Do you think the others' got back yet? Sasha? Summer? Daryl? Any of them?" Lexi questioned him as they went out.

"We haven't found any signs of anybody, I'm sure they have," Glenn told her.

Enid sees a walker on the side of the road, who was laying down and reaching out. She bent down and stabbed it in the head and looked at Glenn and Lex. "What? You think your wife wouldn't have wanted me to kill it?" she questioned Glenn.

"You know we're trying to look out for you, to show you that we understand, so you could actually pretend that a little bit of appreciation," Lexi told her.

"I didn't ask for either one of you to help me," Enid reminded them.

"You act like you're the only one who lost someone, you haven't. We all have, you aren't special Enid, not in a long shot. You are acting like Sasha, trying to be mad at the world and cutting everyone out, making them not care about you, well guess what, it's not working. Here we are, because we care," Lexi told her.

Glenn put his hand on Lexi's shoulder as Enid walked over to a bunch of balloons that were tied to a stake. She took her knife out and cut the string and tied the green balloons to her bag. "We can use them to distract them," Enid pointed out.

Glenn looked in the bushes. "There's a helium tank in those shrubs, more balloons, more string," he told her as she went to get it. "You alright?" he asked Lexi softly.

"Yeah, I'm alright," Lexi assured him.

Glenn nodded and looked over at Enid. "Who did you stay with back home?"

"It's not my home," Enid said as she looked over her shoulder. "Olivia's place, but I as on my own. Orphan by walkers," she explained.

"Me too. Probably," Glenn said.

Lexi didn't say anything as she looked around keeping an eye out for dangers.

"Just what happens," Enid answered.

"I get that you're scared," Glenn told Enid.

"I'm not scared," Enid interjected.

"Right, so that's why you bailed at the first sign of trouble? That's why you are running away and waiving a gun at us?Because you aren't afraid?" Lexi told her.

"You are afraid, you don't want to lose anything again, so you give up and say that's just what happens," Glenn told her.

"I don't need a lecture," Enid said.

"Yeah, I think you do," Glenn told her. You honor the dead by going on, even when you're scared. You live because they don't get to. You think your parents' wanted you waiving a gun because your afraid?"

"No one will ever replace your parents', just like no one will ever replace my brother Ty. But if you get lucky, you find people who can fill that role in some shape or form, or many people. You were alone in Alexandria, even surrounded by people. They didn't understand, they couldn't, because they lived behind there walls and they continued living like nothing had changed. They could close there eyes and not have nightmares. But that changed today, the real world came knocking down there gates and they lost people. We owe it to them to help them because we can. It's the way you honor your parents', the way I honor Ty, the way Glenn and I honor Hershal, Beth and Maggie's dad. We keep our humanity and we help,"she told the other teenager.

"We don't have to talk," Enid told them as she went back to her task.
