Thank you for the reviews.

Lily spent the remainder of the morning placing guns where they were needed or would at least be useful. She placed the sniper rifle up in the closest watch tower for her own usage. 'Hopefully, I won't need to use this. But I probably will.'

As she placed the rifle down she looked up and saw the sky. The sun was high meaning it was lunch time. Below her, Hershel and Glenn were bickering about something. Hershel had everything under control so Lily continued inside.

"What's the news on the walkers?" she asked walking in.

"Walkers in the tombs," Carol told her.

"They're contained in there right? Doors closed."

"Yeah," she shrugged.

"Yes. Doors are closed and the walkers are going to stay there at least for a while," Carl informed her.

"So they shouldn't be a problem for a few days at most. At least until the whole Governor problem rolls over right?" There were a few nods or approval. "All right. So as soon as we're done with him we will take care of them again. Sound good to you Hershel?"

Hershel came into the food room as Lily was sitting down to eat. There was a somewhat disappointed look on his face from his conversation with Glenn, but he had heard Lily and nodded his approval. "I think we can hold out a few days."

"He left didn't he?" she asked him about Glenn when he sat down.

The man nodded his head. No sooner had he sat down than the door opened and Glenn stomped inside. "Where are the keys?" he asked.

"Where are the—" Lily repeated before realization washed over her and her eyes lit up and she let out a laugh.

"Why is this amusing to you?" he asked not in the mood for jokes.

With smiling eyes she looked over to the boy and saw him staring very intently at his food. "I asked Carl to hide the keys so I wouldn't be able to leave."

A few smiles spread across the faces of those eating.

"Keys please," Glenn asked Carl. Carl nodded getting up to fetch the keys.

"Two hours long enough?" she asked him.

Glenn nodded obviously upset with the rules but two hours wasn't enough time to leave and go assassinate the Governor.

Lunch was finished and the dishes were washed.

"Hey, Carol. You and Axel feel like hauling some flats and metal sheets today?"

"Yes," she smiled. They followed her to the fenced in walkway outside where there was already a stack of metal plates and flower flats.

"Any particular way you want these set up?" Axel asked her.

Lily shrugged. "Just as long as it provides protection and wont fall on us, set up is up to you."

"Sounds good to me," he smiled as Lily took her leave.

'It's nice seeing Carol has found someone,' Lily thought to herself as she made her way to the watch tower.

Looking down at everything she saw Beth and Carl talking and Axel and Carol joined them out in front of the prison shortly after setting up the walk way. Michonne was searching through the bus down by the gate. Down out front Hershel was talking with Rick over by the fence. She hadn't seen Rick leave his cell so that made her worry. 'At least he's getting fresh air,' she thought trying desperately to stay positive about him but he was not doing well.

Beth and Carl were smiling at each other and Carol and Axel were laughing together. It made Lily smile to see everyone happy considering everything that had happened in the last few days.

As if to prove that no one was allowed to be happy these days, a gunshot filled the air sending Axel's blood splattering all over Carol.

Looking in the direction of the shot, there was the Governor standing outside the fence holding a gun.

Lily ducked into the tower and unlocked the rifle as more shots erupted down my Rick. She looked out the window and saw both Rick and Hershel were down on the ground as were the four on her other side. Carol was having to use Axel's boy as protection from the bullets raining down on you.

'Where was the fire coming from?' Before throwing herself out into the fire she told herself find where the fire was coming from. The Governor was obvious, he was located down by the gate. His right hand man was in the trees closer to Rick. A third man was standing in the tower directly across from Lily.

She lowered herself to the ground and set up the stand for the rifle taking a deep breath. The door was slowly cracked open as she took aim at the man in the opposite tower. Taking aim, she squeezed the trigger and the bullet shot through the air into the skull of the man shooting at Carol, Beth, and Carl.

Michonne opened fire on the Governor and he snapped his attention to her.

A second man came out of the tower and resumed firing.

"You've got to be kidding me!" she hissed reloading the gun. Taking a deep breath, she released it and shot the man in the chest. Carol was able to run to cover.

Turning, Lily focused her attention on the Governor standing just outside the fence. Taking aim on his one good eye, she readied to squeeze the trigger but Michonne stepped into the line of fire. Waiting until she was gone proved too long a wait because another shooter Lily and began showering her with bullets. She drew the rifle into the tower and rolled to the side until the fire had ceased. Grabbing a hat lying on the ground, she put it on her hand and out into the line of sight she pulled it away to see if anyone would shoot at her. No one did meaning they were reloading. Setting the rifle up again she fired and shot the windshield of the Governor's car. The glass broke but didn't shatter.

All the Governor did was take a step to the side away from the car and began to shoot at her again. She rolled out of the way again. Glass shattered above her showering her with glass shards.

'All Glenn wants to do is kill the Governor and what happens when he leaves? The Governor shows up! Just our luck! We're countless men down and we've just lost Axel. We are so screwed. At least until I get a good shot…'

Pushing herself up to her knees, she peaked out the window to see that Carol had made it to the prison and was wielding a machine gun.

Through the crack in the door, an engine could be heard roaring at full speed off in the distance.

'Maybe it was Glenn coming back!' she thought hopefully. Looking out the window she saw others heard it too. The smile on the Governor's face told her it wasn't Glenn coming toward them but something else.

From her vantage point, Lily saw the ambulance speeding full throttle toward the gate. 'It's going through the gate.'

Aiming for the windshield was her top priority, but the ambulance was moving too fast for her to get a good shot and the bullet bounced off the top.

Shortly after the bullet bounced, the ambulance crashed through the gate. Michonne dove for cover. The gate was completely open leaving the prison vulnerable to walkers.

"Son of a bitch!" she hissed watching the vehicle come to a stop in the middle of the courtyard.

The wire gate on the back of the vehicle dropped down creating a ramp. The rifle was left unattended as Lily gave a loud frustrated groan running her fingers through her hair. The Governor had taken advantage of her, tortured her and was now deliberately rubbing the fact he was stronger than her in her face. The Governor always had a way of deliberately screwing her over and he knew it and relished every moment. She had enough.

The walkers began to spill from the back of the vehicle like plague bringing imminent death with them.

'Hershel! He's still in the courtyard!' She picked her gun up again and looked for the kind old man hidden in the grass. The walkers found him faster than she did. Taking the gun with her she kicked the door open and ran outside to the opposite side of the tower where she was able to provide Hershel with some protection.

Taking her new vantage point to her advantage, she leaned around the corner of the building and fired at the Governor. The bullet grazed his shoulder sending a small amount of blood splatter to the ground. 'At least I got close,' she thought before he fired at her.

Ducking behind the tower she began to shoot the walkers coming after Hershel. Luckily, he had a pistol of his own to give himself some protection, but it wouldn't last long against those dozen walkers coming straight toward him.

As if they didn't feel shit on enough, the Governor fired several rounds into the air before ducking into his truck and leaving them to deal with the walkers. The Governor peeled out as Glenn drove up.

The others opened the gate and entered the courtyard going after Hershel. Lily stood up and ran to the railing. Glenn was sitting dumbstruck in his truck. Michonne took a running head start before she started hacking the heads off walkers. Rick was still outside the fence and out of ammo.

Glenn could see that Hershel was in trouble and drove through the shattered gate and over to him in the grass. Michonne and Glenn helped Hershel into the truck.

Lily scrambled down out of the tower and ran ahead of the truck and through the one remaining good gate.

The walkers followed Glenn's truck so they were converging near the fence. Lily threw the gun over her shoulder and grabbed a pole lying around and drove it through the nearest one's head as she screamed. She went down the row killing each walker.

She knew that as long as the walkers weren't getting out of control that the others wouldn't mind them being there, but it was better to kill them as they were spotted because that just makes one less walker for later. She also had quite a bit of rage built up that she needed to let out.

The last one fell to the gravel road when she wiped the sweat from her brow. Looking out at the other walkers in the field, she only wondered why someone would do something like that. 'I really hate some people,' she thought as she drove the pole through another walker's head. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw someone walking up the path. Two men were with Rick and she knew them both.

The pole in her hand clattered to the ground. Daryl was smiling at her as he walked next to Rick. Merle was behind them.

Beth heard the clattering pole and ran over. "Lily, what's wrong?" she asked.

"That." She pointed to Rick, Daryl, and Merle.

Daryl walked just slightly faster than the other two, just to get to the gate faster.

"Hey," he smiled at her. Lily turned and walked the other way back toward the cell block. The smile fell from his face at her reaction. "Hey, wait!"

Her brisk walk almost had her over half way to the door when the gate came open and he ran through it towards her.

She opened the door and stepped inside right as he caught up with her. "What's wrong?"

"You leave without saying good bye and walk straight out of my life - I assumed forever - then come back a few days later smiling like nothing happened! That's what's wrong!" She wanted to slap him more than she could understand but she swore she would never slap him again.

"Oh, don't be so dramatic." He pushed her against the wall as he lowered his crossbow to the floor.

"You left me for you brother," she said through gritted teeth pushing against him.

"Ah, that may be so, but it looks like you still missed me."

"Of course I missed you! But you left!"

"Well, you're not going anywhere," he smiled but the smile faded as he took on a serious tone. "First, you were right, about pretty much everything, but I am not going to kill Merle. He stays. Secondly, I really missed you." He picked her up and kissed her. He kissed her for so long she had to pull away to breathe.

She wrapped her legs around him, kissing him back. "Sometimes...I really...really...hate you," she said between kisses.

"Yet you...still love me?"

"Yes."

His hands slid under her shirt to her back pulling her closer to him. All Lily wanted after he left was to feel his touch. Whether it was to pull her back or wish her good morning. She missed it all and by the way he held her, she could tell he missed it too.

"I love you too," he whispered in her ear.

A knock came from the cell block door.

"Yeah, who is it?" Daryl asked as Lily kissed his neck. The second he was done speaking, he turned back to her.

"There are some things we need to talk about."

"Just a minute."

"Now."

Daryl sighed. "I'll be-I'll be right there."

They looked at each other knowing the reunion was over. He set her down and kissed her once more before picking up his crossbow. "God, it's good to see you," he said going outside to deal with the things Rick needed to talk about.

Beth came in right after Daryl left and hugged her. "I'm so glad he's back."

"Yeah," Lily smiled. "Me too."
