Chapter 3:
Seed II
The next day, Rick, T-Dog, Glenn, Maggie, Daryl and Rosalyn decided to take the interior while the rest serve as a distraction. They who would be going into the interior made sure that they had everything they would need for the push. They didn't know how many walkers there were inside, so they needed to be ready for them. Nathaniel walked towards her sister with a stern look as he approach her "Rosalyn" he called out
"Yes?" Rosalyn asked as she turned towards her brother
"You shouldn't go, I'll take your place" he said
"No, you can't" she shook her head
"Then take me or Chris" he insisted as Rosalyn frowned her eyebrow and put her hand on his shoulder
"No, please Nath, we've talked about this..." Rosalyn said
"Christopher is not pleased and so am I" he frowned "You could be attacked when you were in there"
"No I won't" she smiled "We'll have each other back... We always do"
"Rosalyn..." he sighed as he stared at her. He was sure that she felt a lot safer now with this bigger group than she had when it was just the four of them, but he can't just trust them as much as Rosalyn trust them, he just met them yesterday and it's not like he can trust anyone just after a day.
"I'll be okay, I can guarantee you" she grinned as she gave him a thumb
Nathaniel stared at her for a moment and sighed in defeat before nodding hesitantly. Rosalyn smiled at his respond, but she didn't expect him to hug her tightly while whispering quietly to her "Just please be careful"
"It's not like I'm going to a war" She laughed as she patted his back and he pulled back from her "But I will"
"Let's get going" Rick called from where he stood by gate leading into the courtyard with the rest of the group. The two siblings exchanged looks at each other before the two of them went to join everyone by the gate. After the last check, every one of them scattered into their position
"Ready?" Hershel asked from where he stood by the gate
When everyone nodded, Rick removed the link that had been keeping the gate closed and jerked the gate open and they stepped through in to the courtyard. Hershel quickly closed it again so that no walkers can get out.
The walkers closest to the gate turned around to attack them immediately as Rick and T-Dog quickly killed them. Once the walkers fall onto the ground, they quickly formed a circle formation where their back was facing each other. It prevent any one of them from being overrun and it would prevent them from having any blind spots. They only break out of the formation when they're going to take down some walkers on their way.
"Don't break rank!" Rick snapped when he see T-Dog breaking out of the formation
"We need that!" T-Dog argued as he ran over to a fallen corpse.
"T! T!" Rick warned when a nearby walkers went after him. T-Dog snatched up a shield from a corpse and pushed the walker down onto the ground as Maggie quickly went to stab it "Maggie! Maggie!" Rick yelled when she walked out. Maggie quickly fell back into formation.
"Almost there," Rick muttered as they pushed further in.
The group approached one of the side entrances in the middle of the courtyard. They had taken out all the walkers out front, and they seemed to be in the clear, for now. Everyone still stood on edge as Rick opened the door, and when nothing did come out, they turned their attention on the other side of the entrance. Rick eyes widen as he see that there was another fenced courtyard there filled almost completely with walkers.
Rick backed away as quickly pressed themselves against the wall when they spotted the walkers. Suddenly Rosalyn pointed out ahead when she see some walker in S.W.A.T gear walking towards them and before they can react, another came from the other side of the wall. Daryl shoot his crossbow at the walker, but his arrow just thrown back by the helmet while the other were hacking away at the helmets, hoping that it might somehow damage the brain enough to kill the walkers.
When he finally realize that it won't work, Rick finally decided to push the walker away from him as a walker with mask appeared from the door. Maggie tried to attack it with her machete, but failed because fo the mask, so she could just push it away.
After Daryl was stabbed down a female walker, Rick come running towards the walker in gear and pushed it down to the ground before he ran towards the fence "Daryl!" He called out as he killed one of the walker and ran towards the fence. He kicked one of the walkers that was stumbling towards him as Daryl came and dragged the fence to close it.
Rosalyn noticed that one of the walker in gear grabbed Maggie and pulled her "Maggie! Try to pull up the helmet and stabs the neck!" Rosalyn instructed as Maggie did as she pulled the helmet and stabbed the walker from its jaw until it fell limp onto the ground.
"You see that? It worked" Maggie grinned as T-Dog pulled the helmet before Glenn stabs the neck while Rosalyn pulled the other one and Daryl stabs it. Once the blade was free, the body fell forward on to the ground. Daryl stared down at it for a moment before looking up at Rosalyn with a nod. Rosalyn could just smiled slightly at him.
She turned her attention away from Daryl as she heard Rick angrily kicked the walkers with mask to the ground and watched as he ripped off its mask before stabbing it in the eye. For a moment, everyone just stood in silence, catching their breath as they glanced around the area.
Everyone walked back out into the open, staring around at the courtyard which is finally emptied. Glenn jogged towards the gate where the others were waiting for them anxiously.
"Stop," Rick called before he got too far
Glenn stopped to turn back and look at the others, confused. Everyone but T-Dog was looking around in every corner, checking if there was more walkers.
"What? It looks secured," Glenn said
"Not from the look of that courtyard over there," Daryl while pointing at the walkers behind the fence that they closed before. He then motioned to the body of a young woman lying a few feet away from them. "And that's a civilian," Daryl observed.
"So the interior could be overrun with walkers from outside the prison," T-Dog concludes
"Well, if the walls down, what're we gonna do?" Glenn asked. "We can't rebuild this whole place."
"We can't risk a blind spot," Rick said as he turned towards the caged stairs that will lead them into the cell block "We have to push in."
Rosalyn quickly followed after Rick as she walked behind him with Daryl and the rest behind her. The group gathered together at the porch step and waited as Rosalyn reached out to open the door. Suddenly Daryl stopped her and stepped forward to open it for them. Rick jumped inside as soon as it was open, but there wasn't anything there, there's only a door. He decided to stepped in side carefully and the rest of the group followed behind him.
T-Dog closed the outside door behind him once everyone was through while Rick opened another door leading further towards the cell block. It was an empty sitting area with all the trash that had been left behind. Rick motioned for the others to check around the area, to see if it was abandoned as it seemed.
While they went to do as he said, Rosalyn looked up to see a corpse sitting up in the watch tower caught. She looked towards Rick as she silently telling him that she was going to check the corpse. He nodded, as she started making her way up the stairs, with Rick watching from the bottom of the stairs. She paused at the entrance to glance back down at Rick who nodded at her before she stepped into the tower with knife raised in front of her. She relaxed when she saw all the blood that splattered on the glass behind it.
She paused when her eyes spotted the ring of keys looped on its belt. She removed the keys before she looked down to where Daryl stood and showing him the keys in her hand. He replied with a nod as she walked back down to meet with Rick at the end of the stairs
"I found keys" she said as she tossed the keys to Rick who caught it with a nod in thanks.
Then, everyone walked over to where Daryl was standing by the entrance to the cell block. The others stayed back while Rick went through the keys, trying to to open the door as they slowly stepped inside. They went by each cell, searching for walkers that might be hiding in the shadow. They only found more inmate bodies that had already been shot through the head.
Once they knew that the first floor was cleared, Daryl and Rosalyn made their way up to the second floor. As they reached on to the walkway, there was a loud clanging from the end of the walkway. They exchanged quick looks and started making their way towards the noise.
At the second cells from the end of the hall, they stepped back into the railing as a walker reached through the bars for them. Daryl nodded to Rosalyn as he continued to the last cell as another walker reached out towards nodded at each other as Rosalyn flipped her knife in her hand and stabbed the walker in the head while Daryl took out the second.
Maggie and Glenn were outside gathering the others to bring them into the cell block, while the rest of the men were clearing the bodies out of the cells. As soon as the other got into the cell block, Rick stepped down the stairs
"What do you think?" He asked
"Home sweet home," Glenn replied almost sarcastically
"For the time being." he pointed out
"It's secure?" Carol asked.
"This cell block is," Rick assured her.
"What about the rest of the prison?" Hershel questioned
"In the morning, we'll find the cafeteria and infirmary." Rick explained
"We sleep in the cells?" Beth asked.
"Rosalyn found some keys on a guard. Daryl has a set too."
"I ain't sleepin' in no cage," Daryl's voice echoed from the second floor as the other looked up. "I'll take the perch."
It became silent again as the others had spread out to choose their cells. Rosalyn stepped down the stairs as Nicole quickly pulled her into a tight hug with Christopher and Nathaniel close behind her "Oh my god! Are you alright? Are you hurt? Where did it hurt?" Nicole asked frantically as she held Rosalyn by the shoulder and checked for any injuries
Rosalyn laughed lightly "I'm not, don't worry"
"Nice teamwork, sis" Christopher smirked at her as he patted her head
"Yeah" Rosalyn smiled as she glanced to the side to see Rick silently motioned her that he want to talk to her. Rosalyn nodded before she looked towards her siblings "Alright then, why don't you guys go into your cell?"
"Okay," they nodded as they walked off
Rosalyn followed Rick as he got out of the cell bock into the sitting area. He paused at the end of the room, so that no one can hear them, a hesitant look on his face along with guilt that she saw when they were reunited on the side of that road. He was staring down, fiddling with his hand silently as he took a deep breath
"So... is there something wrong?" Rosalyn asked when Rick didn't spoke "You know, if you've got something to say about that day, you can say it... I'm not mad"
"I don't expect less from you" he replied with a slight smile "Still as sharp as ever."
"I always do" She gave out a light laugh
"I supposed so"
He fell silent again as Rosalyn just smiled and sighed at him. "About that day... I don't blame you for leaving the highway, Rick," she assured him "It was for the best, I know"
"No, I know. You would never blame anyone" he nodded
"Then?"
"I just... I want to say sorry..." Rick muttered quietly, but before Rosalyn could reply him, he interrupted "About the necklace that Daryl had found on a corpse..."
"Oh, yeah... Daryl said that both of you found it when you went out" she nodded
"Actually... I found it first... and it was on the ground, not on the corpse" Rick explained as he looked up to see Rosalyn slight surprised look "I thought about tellin' the others, pickin' back up on our search, to continue leaving behind a trail for you to follow... But, I didn't. When you were gone, the other was really depressed... especially Daryl, it was like he had no more reason to live. But then, I found that corpse that had your hair and all... so I put it on the corpse and lied to the others... they were still depressed, but it was like a weight had been lifted from their shoulders. They thought that you finally found peace"
Rick looked up only to see Rosalyn's eyes were swelled with tears that was ready to fall any moment. He took a step forward towards her, only to freeze when she took an automatic step back. He don't move any further, but he looked hurt.
"If I'd told 'em you were still alive, they will be more depressed and in pain" he almost begged her to understand. "I-I couldn't do that to Lori, or Carl, or Daryl, or any of 'em."
Rosalyn paused as her tears started to fall "I-I understand. You did what you thought was best for the group." she wiped her tears, but it wasn't stopping at all
"So that was the story?" a voice growled as they turned around to see Daryl standing a few feet from them with his fist clenched
"Wait, Daryl-"
Daryl cut Rick off with a punch on his face "Fuck with 'the best for the group'! You fuckin' lie about her bein' dead!" he growled as he punched him once more with much force. When he was about to give another punch, Rosalyn stopped him, pulling him from behind
"Stop it Daryl" she said as he struggled against her
"Why the fuck are you protecting him?!" he angrily asked
"I deserve that" Rick muttered as he stumbled to got up
"You deserve more!" Daryl growled as he took a step forward, only to be pulled back once again by Rosalyn "Let go"
"No" Rosalyn sternly said before she turned towards Rick "Rick... go back with the other"
"But-"
"Rick, please, not right now" Rosalyn almost pleaded
Rick paused for a moment before he nodded and started towards the door. Rosalyn watched from the corner of her eye as he disappeared into the cell block. As soon as he was out of sight, she released Daryl and he quickly turned towards her angrily
"The fuck is wrong with you?" he growled
"Daryl..."
"He fuckin' lie, he fuckin' told us that you were dead! Why are you still on his side?!" he snapped
"Everyone make their own decision and they have their own thought" Rosalyn explained "What Rick did was the best... for the group... for you"
"Why can't you just get fuckin' angry?" he finally stop raising his voice
Rosalyn took his hand and shook her head "Hey, of course I was angry... not that much though" she explained "The thing that he did hurt me... it really did, but it already happened, so you can't do anything to fix it"
"He fuckin' lied..." he repeated
"Hey, you should always look at the bright side..." Rosalyn smiled, trying to calm him down "I found my family again... If you guys didn't left the highway, I might not found them... so yeah, everything has their own bright side"
Daryl paused to stare at her as he sighed "You really is weird" he grumbled
"I know" she laughed as she wrapped her hands around him.
Daryl stood in his place, still frozen in place, he might not fuming anymore, but he's still angry in the inside. He slowly wrapped one of his hand around her and held her closer, like he was afraid that she would slips away once more. And she supposed that it made sense for him to worry about that, since they had been separated for nearly eight months.
"This is totally awkward...
They jumped at the sudden voice and quickly separated from each other before turning to the doorway where they see Christopher stood, a amused smirk played on his lips."Did I interrupted anything?" he asked teasingly
"No you didn't!" Rosalyn replied quickly with blush creeping from her cheek and she could see Daryl was now turning away from them. She took a deep breath and quickly collected herself before she looked at her brother calmly "So... is there something you need, Chris?"
"I was wondering if you're alright... I heard you fighting"
"Yeah, I'm alright... it was nothing" she replied with a slight smile
He stared at her a moment before nodding, deciding not to push it further, he knew that she was lying. He knew his sister and he'll wait untill she told him herself "The others are turning in for the night," he informed her, changing the subject. "And we've put your thing on second floor"
"Okay, thank you... I'll be there in a second"
"Alright then, goodnight, sis" he nodded at her and smiled before he turned to leave.
Rosalyn watched as her brother figure disappeared from her sight before she turned towards Daryl "Did I just see you turning around in embarrasment, Daryl?" she asked with a tone full of amusement. She watched as Daryl flinched slightly before he turned towards her
"The hell I am" he scowled
"I knew that you'd say that" she laughed lightly "Well, we'd better turn in before somebody else came in"
Daryl grumbled in respond as they walked into the cell block and walked up the stairs. Daryl stopped at where he will sleep as Rosalyn turned to him and smiled "Oh look, my cell was in front of your space" Rosalyn laughed as she walked into the cell which was right in front of where Daryl sleep, where her things were placed at.
"Alright then, goodnight"
"Night" he muttered a respond. Rosalyn nodded at him and smiled before turning back into the room. She sat down on the bed and stared at her surroundings, she sighed lightly and laid down on the bed, closing her eyes and was soon fast asleep.
