Thank you Nellie!
Lily is my OC and the everything else belongs to the producers and directors and writers often show and the comics.
Lily volunteered to go help collect firewood and left with Rick, Daryl and Glenn to do so. When they reached the outside of the fence, one walker stood by themselves and Glenn pulled his gun to shoot it.
"Should I shoot it?" he asked.
"If the armory hadn't been picked clean, we could spare the ammo," Rick said.
"I'll start making runs," Daryl offered. "The sooner the better."
"We'll throw as much wood as we can into the dog run."
"Won't the fire attract more walkers? Maybe we should bury them."
"We're behind the fence. It's worth the one-time risk to get rid of the bodies for good. I don't want to be planting crops in walker-rotted soil."
Rick, Glenn and Lily gathered as much wood as they could hold and carried it back to the hole in the fence dropping it in a pile. Looking up, they saw Hershel walking around on crutches. He was up already.
'It's a little early but at least he's not letting it break him down,'
Lily thought to herself.
"All right, Hershel!" Glenn cheered from the fence.
"Shh," Daryl scolded him pointing to the walkers outside the fence. "Keep your cheers down."
"Oh, man, can't we just have one good day."
"I'm gonna go check on Hershel," Lily said picking her wood back up to bring it to the prison.
The others stayed back to just look at the progress that had been made within days of taking the prison.
"Walkers! Look out!"
Lily heard Carl shout and she was gone like a flash. She took off so fast the others had think for a moment before they were able to process what had just happened.
"The lock!" Glenn shouted as she rounded the curve in the fence and he threw his keys to Daryl who threw them to Rick who tossed them to Lily. She unlocked the gate faster than she thought she could and made her way through to the other gate.
The two prisoners were standing there looking dazed. As she was unlocking the second gate, she looked over at them. She was going to say something but changed her mind.
She forced the second gate open and the other three ran through the first gate and straight through the second one. Before taking off after them, she grabbed a pipe that had been leaning against the fence to use as a weapon.
"What the hell happened?!" Rick shouted.
"The gate was open," Beth said panicked.
"Where's Lori, Carl—everyone else?"
"Maggie led Lori and Carl into C block," Hershel said.
Daryl rushed forward with his knife to kill a walker that was coming for him. Lily took out the one behind him he had missed. When he heard the thud, he turned, saw the walker and gave her a nod of thanks. Glenn used his machete to hack off a walker's head.
"The chain was hacked or cut," Glenn said coming back from closing the open gate within the compound. Rick turned to glare at the two prisoners behind them. "You think they did it?"
"Who else?"
Then as if things weren't bad enough already an alarm started blaring. Lily threw her hands to her ears to muffle the sound.
"Oh— you gotta be kidding me!" Daryl shouted. The walkers outside the fence had heard the noise and were already beginning to melt out of the woods.
Rick and Glenn with their guns began to shoot the speakers outside before Rick turned his gun on the large arfican american man.
"How is this happening?"
"Whoa—whoa! It must be the back up generators."
"Well, how do you turn those on?"
"There's three that's connected to a diesel tank, ok? Each one controls a certain part of the prison. The hacks shut them all off when the prison was overrun."
"Can someone open up the main gates electronically with full power?"
"I only worked there a few days. I guess it might be possible. Come with us. Let's go!"
The cell block was empty say for a handful of walkers which they took out easily due to the adrenaline rush.
"We gotta split up and whoever find the generators first, shut them down!" Rick shouted.
Lily grabbed her pipe and took off down the halls with Daryl, Rick and the large man. Daryl made it clear she was not going to run off without him especially since they still didn't trust the prisoners yet. Together they found the generator room as half a dozen walkers were on their tail. They sprinted through the door and slammed it shut before being attacked, but the door wouldn't close. Rick and the large man were forced to hold the door closed and Lily and Rick ran around blindly looking for the way to turn off the generator.
Daryl was left to hold the door by himself as the large man turned the generator off. She rushed back to help Daryl hold the door closed and heard commotion by the generator.
Rick was flipping some switches when a man came out from behind the generator wielding an axe aimed at his head. They beat each other around into the giant machines.
"Sneak around the side of the generator and whack him with the pipe," Daryl grunted against the door. She nodded and made her way around one waiting for the man on Rick to turn his back to her. He had Rick pinned down so she swung the pipe at his head knocking the man around which gave Rick just enough strength to push the man across the room and pin him down. He punched Rick in the face throwing him to the ground. He drew his gun but it was kicked from his hand.
She swung her pipe at him again and it hit him in the rips. He threw a punch and she found herself on the ground where the two of them were fighting over Rick's gun. As they scuffled on the ground, Lily crawled over to the gun but before she could take it, the large man took it and pointed it at Rick.
"Get up," he said. When she did Rick pushed her behind him.
"Shoot him!" the man shouted. "We can take back this prison. What you waitin' for? Do it!"
The large man looked back and forth between Rick, Lily and his friend.
"It's our house! Shoot them!"
He moved the gun ever so slightly to the right and fired. His friend fell to the floor dead, but he still kept the gun trained on them. Daryl snuck up from the side ready to kill the man should he decide to shoot, but before he attacked, the man flipped the gun around and handed it back to Rick.
With his gun back, Rick flipped the final switches to power down the generator.
"Let's go," Rick said flatly.
Lily grabbed her pipe and followed them out of the room and into the depths of the prison in the search of the others.
