Chapter 8:

Killer Within II

Finishing changing her clothes, Rosalyn went out to help the others. They were discussing plans to clear out the prison yard by moving the cars out of the entrance. Rick saw Rosalyn coming and nodded his head at her "Mornin', you alright?" he asked

"Good morning" She greeted back as she approached them slowly "I'm alright" she smiled in return as Rick nodded

"Alright then, let's get the other cars in," Rick instructed once Rosalyn was next to him "We'll park 'em in the west entry of the yard."

"Good. Our vehicles camped out there look like a giant vacancy sign," Daryl commented

Rick motioned to the corpses around the yard from their first day they got here "After that, we need to load up these corpses so we can burn 'em."

"Gonna be a long day."T-Dog said while looked around at all the bodies and sighed.

"Nathaniel and I could get started on that while you get the other cars in" Christopher offered to Rick

Rick nodded to him in thanks. "Thank you."

"Come on" Christopher dragged Nathaniel by the hands, and the two of them stalked off into the field with Nathaniel sending Daryl his usual warning looks. Rosalyn could only shook her head at her brother. It was so typical of him, not that it was the first time he reacted like that. Rosalyn think that he will probably get over it in few weeks or so she hoped him to.

"Where's Glenn and Maggie?" Carol asked snapping Rosalyn out of her thoughts. "We could use some more help."

"Up in the guard tower." Daryl pointed to the tower.

"Guard tower?" Rick questioned with almost an amused looks "They were just up there last night."

Daryl and Rosalyn exchanged knowing looks as she nodded to him. Daryl turned his head from Rosalyn and cupped his hand around his mouth "Glenn! Maggie!" he called out loudly as Rosalyn shook her head in amusement

After a few moment of watching the tower closely, Glenn's head was the first peeked from the door. They could see from where they stood in the field that he didn't have his shirt on. He stepped out of the guard tower while buttoning up his jeans almost hurriedly and they could see Maggie moving around inside, probably putting on her own clothes.

"Hey! What's up guys?" Glenn asked innocently

Rick and T-Dog chuckled knowingly while Rosalyn and Carol held back their smile

"You comin'?" Daryl asked loudly

"What?" Glenn shouted back.

At his confused face Rosalyn and Carol finally burst out of laughing while the rest of them laughed even harder. Rosalyn know he didn't get the joke, because it's Glenn, his brain probably processing slowly at Daryl's question.

"You comin'?" Daryl repeated

Glenn's expression was priceless, his confusion got deeper than before, as he looked over to Maggie with a frown which just made the others amused. Rosalyn reached out and slapped leaned to Daryl's back and holds her laughing before gently slapped him in the arm. The teasing was amusing, but it was just cruel.

Daryl looked over to her and smirked, before wraping his hand around Rosalyn who finally looked over to the tower after laughing too much. She saw Maggie had come out to join Glenn on the railing with a messy hair "Come on we can use some hands" Daryl called out, ending the teasing

"Yeah, w-we'll be right down!" Glenn stuttered back

The five of them started walking back to the entrance, still laughing at the couple. T-Dog stared at the prison gate and called out "Hey Rick"

They stopped to look back at T-Dog where he stood, staring up at something in the courtyard. Rick turned to see what he was staring at, and his smile fell from his face. The rest followed his gaze and saw Axel and Oscar walking out from the fence that separated the courtyard and the field.

"Come with me," he ordered. The others started after him, and made their way to the courtyard.

When the prisoners saw the group approaching, they went forward to meet them , coming out into the field to stand on the graveled road.

"That's close enough," Rick warned as the prisoners stopped, knowing that it would be a bad to step any further "We had an agreement" he reminded them.

"Please, mister, w-we know that. We made a deal."Axel stuttered. As he spoke, Glenn and Maggie came walking out of the entrance from the tower behind them before he continue "But you gotta understand, we can't live in that place another minute. You follow me? All of the bodies—people we knew… Blood, brains everywhere… There's ghosts."

"Why don't you move the bodies out?" Daryl asked

"You should be burnin' 'em," T-Dog added

"We tried," Axel replied. "We did."

"The fences are down on the far side of the prison," Oscar explained. "Every time we drag a body out, those…things just line up. We've been droppin' the bodies and just running back inside."

"Look, we had nothing to do with Tomas and Andrew—nothing," Axel moved forward earnestly and Rick's hand fell back down to his revolver while the rest of his group shifted anxiously as Daryl stand in front of Rosalyn, just in case something happens."You tryin' to prove a point? You proved it, bro. We'll do whatever it takes to be part of your group. Just please, please…don't make us live in that place."

"Our deal is non-negotiable," Rick stated. "You either live in your cell block or you leave."

"I told you this was a waste of time. They ain't no different than the pricks who shot our boys," Oscar scoffed, looking at Rick. "You know how many friends' corpses we had to drag out this week? Just threw 'em out, like… These were good guys—good guys who had our backs against the really bad dudes in the joint, like Tomas and Andrew. Now, we have all made mistakes to get in there, Chief. And I'm not gonna pretend to be a saint. But believe me…we paid our dues, enough that we would rather hit that road than go back into that shit hole."

Rick looked at him for a moment before turning back to Daryl, silently asking for his opinion. Daryl shook his head slightly and Rick gave a soft sigh as he turned back to prisoners.

Daryl locked a chain on the fence of the entrance, separating Axel and Oscar in the fenced area away from them. "C'mon, man" Axel pleaded as Daryl walked back to where the others stood at the end of the bus, completely ignoring him.

They were discussing what are they going to do with the prisoners. T-Dog is in favor of allowing them, but many within the group disagree, expressing their concerns

"Are you serious?" Rick asked T-Dog "You want them livin' in a cell next to you? They'll just be waitin' for their chance to grab our weapons. You wanna go back to sleepin' with one eye open?"

"I never stopped," T-Dog said "Bring 'em into the fold. If we send 'em off packin', we might as well just execute 'em ourselves."

"I don't know..." Glenn muttered. "Axel seems a little unstable."

"After all we've been through?" Carol whispered. "We fought so hard for this. What if they decide to take it?"

"It's just been us for so long," Maggie pointed out. "They're strangers. It feels weird all of a sudden to have these other people around too."

"You brought us in," T-Dog reminded her.

"Yeah, but you turned up with a shot boy in your arms. Didn't give us a choice." She reminded him

"They can't even kill walkers," Glenn added.

"They're convicts—bottom line," Carol argued.

"Those two, might have less blood on their hands than we do" T-Dog said

"I get guys like this," Daryl finally spoke up after a long silence as he looked at Rick "Hell, I grew up with 'em. They're degenerates, but they ain't psychos. I could've been in there with them just easy as I'm out here with you guys."

"So are you with me?" T-Dog asked hopefully.

"Hell no. " Daryl said as T-Dog turned his head towards him while raising his eyebrow "Let 'em take their chances out on the road, just like we did.

"What I'm sayin', Daryl—"

"When I was a rookie," Rick spoke up, cutting T-Dog off, "I arrested this kid. Nineteen-year-old, wanted for stabbin' his girlfriend. The kid blubbered like a baby durin' the investigation, durin' the trial... suckered the jury. He was acquitted due to insufficient evidence and then, two weeks later, shot another girl... We've all been through too much. Our deal with 'em stands."

Rick finished as he walked away followed by the other, leaving T-Dog by himself. Rosalyn gave him a pat on the shoulder with an encourage looks which recieve a small sad smile from him before she followed the others.

After gathering the bodies around the field and the courtyard into a pile, the group walked back towards the entrance, where Oscar and Axel were still locked up.

"Move the cars to that upper yard," Rick instructed. "Point 'em facin' out. They'll be outta the way but ready to go if we ever need to bail."

Daryl tossed the keys to Glenn, who quickly took off, running ahead of the others.

Rick slowed down his pace so that he was walking beside T-Dog. "We'll give the prisoners a week's worth of supplies for the road," Rick started.

"Might not last a week," T-Dog grumbled.

"Their choice." he replied

"Did they really have one?" T-Dog asked

"Hey," Rick stopped and held his hand out in front of T-Dog, forcing him to a stop. "Whose blood would you rather have on your hands; Maggie's, Glenn's, or theirs?"

"Neither," he sighed, rolling his eyes slightly. He continued on to the entrance, leaving Rick to stare at his retreating form.

Rosalyn watched as Daryl got on hie motorbike. The two prisoner was right behind her, watching him like she did "Twin cylinder," Axel suddenly said, catching her attention to him "Is that a Triumph?"

"Don't even look at it." Daryl grumbled as he turned his motorbike on. He looked back to Rosalyn who nodded her head and waved her hand at him, telling him that she won't be coming with him and stay inside with the rest of the,

"Didn't want it bored out? Sounds like it could use a tune-up," Axel said, trying to ingratiate himself with Daryl "I'm pretty handy with the grind. Heads are leakin'. I know my bikes!" he continues but Daryl ignored him and nodded his head at Rosalyn before taking off

"Man, will you just stop?" Oscar frowned "Have some balls."

"Just sayin'." Axel shrugged

"Don't worry about him... Daryl is actually a nice person inside" Rosalyn smiled at both of them which gained their attention "He's just... have a weird way to show it"

"Well, young lady-"

"Don't even start" Oscar cut him off

Rosalyn laughed at both of them "Alright, I'll be going... see you guys around, I think" she waved them a goodbye as she walked up towards the cell block

Rosalyn sat on the stairs with Carl who's cleaning his gun while she tried to comb her tangled hair. She rested her head on the railing, letting her fingers ran through her tangled and messy hair - it was really soft though, much to her confusion.

Beth and Lori came into the cell with crutches for Hershel. She could see Beth smiling at Carl -who she guessed smiled back at her- and smiled knowingly at the scene. Beth and Lori quickly went into Hershel's cell without a word.

Rosalyn stood up and walked into the cell after patting Carl's head, silently telling him to go into the cell "All right" Carl said.

He stopped at the entrance and watched as Rosalyn helped Hershel to sit up. She was slow and careful, making sure that she didn't hurt him in any way.

"Just take your time" Lori reminded Hershel.

Hershel was at the edge now, preparing himself to get on the crutches "Daddy, don't push yourself" Beth stopped him

But Hershel just gave a small chuckle in respond "What else am I going to do?" he asked as he pushed himself up off the bed, refusing the help of Rosalyn "I can't stand looking up at the bottom of that bunk any-" he swayed on the crutches and the rest was behind him in an instant, helping the others keep him balanced.

Once he was okay he took a few steps forward, walking with confident. "You know? I can go pretty steady." he said before taking a few more steps until he was out of the cell.

"That's a good start." Lori smiled, still standing by his side in case he suddenly fall "Want to take a rest?"

"Rest?" Hershel chuckled once more "Let's go for a little stroll."

Rosalyn smiled as she stayed right behind him and almost laughed when Beth and Lori exchanged worried looks. She knew there wasn't anything to worry about. Hershel was a tough man - he proved it by surviving after losing one of his legs and she knew he could push through this.

They made their way to the exit doors. With Rosalyn's hand on Hershel's chest to keep him steady, they slowly descended the few steps. "Okay then... make sure you won't fall on me, alright?." Rosalyn joked as she smiled "Daryl might throw tantrums at you"

Hershel chuckled at her while Lori and Beth smiled slightly

"Just take your time on these steps.." Beth instructed

"Ooh, ooh." Hershel lost his balance slightly, but Rosalyn was there, keeping him from falling. When he was okay once more they kept moving, and finally got off the last step.

Once he was done with the stair' steps he moved by himself with out the help of the other "You cleared all those bodies out?" he looked around the courtyard, seeing Maggie, Carol and T-Dog were moving the cars around. "It's starting to look like a place we could really live in."

"Hey, you watch your step." Lori reminded "Last thing we need is you falling on Rosalyn"

They smiled once again, Beth was right beside her father, guiding him with worry while Lori and Rosalyn stayed behind them. "You feeling okay?" Rosalyn asked as she glanced at Lori's huge bump.

Lori let out a laugh and nodded "Yeah, more or less" she said

"It's almost 9 months, right?" she asked

"I think it's going to come soon" Lori smiled at her "You will help me right?"

"I'm not good with childbirth" Rosalyn let out a small laugh "But I'll try"

"What if I didn't make it...?" she suddenly mumbled

"You will, Lori" Rosalyn said with a frown "Why did you think like that?"

"I just had a feeling" she paused before looking up at the blonde "If I didn't make it... will you take care of her?"

"You will make it, Lori" she pointed out, refusing to answer the question

"I said if" Lori replied

Rosalyn hesitated before she sighed "Of course I will" she gave her a smile "You're like my sister... I'll take care of the baby as much as I can"

"That's good to hear" Lori chuckled as they fell silent. Then Lori spoke, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen over them. "Anyway... Are you okay?"

"What do you mean?" Rosalyn tilted her head in confusion

"I mean this morning... you were screaming and all"

"Oh that..." she muttered "I'm fine …I'm sorry you had to see that."

Lori shook her head "It's not your fault," she said, her voice was soft, understanding. "Christopher and Nicole told me a bit of what you all went through and what you've been through during those months when you were by yourself. I just didn't expect it to be that bad…"

"Yeah..." she mumbled in respond

The two fell into another silence, Lori staring at her Rosalyn for a moment, and she spoke again "Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Not overly wanted to..."

"It might make you feel better," Lori insisted "Keeping it bottled up isn't good for you"

"Hmm..." Rosalyn hummed in respond and Lori gave a soft sigh. "Look, I'm not gonna push you," she said softly. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. But at least consider talking about it to someone."

"I did tell Daryl a little..." she muttered

"That's a good start" Lori nodded as he looked away from Rosalyn "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone and I'm sure Daryl won't either"

Rosalyn smiled softly at her "Thank you Lori..." she started "For everything"

"I could say the same to you" she replied with a smile "That's what families are for, right?"

"Yes" she nodded gratefully.

"All right, Hershel!" They turned around to see Glenn who was down by the furthest fence, coming back into the prison followed by Daryl, Christopher, Nathaniel and Rick while carrying some woods from the forest. Rosalyn notice that Rick and Lori share warm looks from a distance, causing Lori to blush. She looked over to Daryl who slightly smiled at her and nodded his head. She laughed lightly and replied him with her wide grin.

"You're doing great, daddy." Beth smiled at her dad.

Carl grinned, looking up at the old man. "Ready to race, Hershel?"

"Give me another day," Hershel said as he smiled at Carl "I'll take you on."

It was a warm moment. There was a comfortable silence that fell over everyone as they all realized this was their new home. However, the warm moment is interrupted as Rosalyn heard growls of walkers from behind. Before she could turned around, Carl called out "Walkers! Look out!"

The thing that she see when she turned around was a group of walkers that suddenly flood the courtyard. And it wasn't a good sign at all.
