Chapter 13:

The group pulled off after a few miles away from the woodbury, just like the woman told them to. Everyone climbed out and immediately went to the trunk to gather their stuff. Daryl grabbed his bag and crossbow as the other took their stuff.

"They have patrols," the woman explained "We're better off on foot."

"How far?" Rick asked, looking up at the sky."Night's comin'."

"It's a mile, maybe two."

No one even bother to looked back over their shoulder when they heard snarling. There was a walkers stumbling towards them, but it's far enough that they didn't need to bother kill it. Once everyone had their stuff, Daryl closed the trunk and followed the rest into the woods. The woman lead the group with Oscar right behind her while Rick and Daryl walk behind Oscar.

"I know what you and Rosalyn did for me," Rick spoke up "For my baby, while I was gone…working things out- Thank you."

"It's what we do," Daryl told him.

They kept walking, not needing to say anything else. It wasn't long before Daryl paused to hear the groans of walkers near by. "Rick" he whispered and Rick without any further question and hesitation kneel down."Down!" Rick whispered, and everyone quickly fell to their knee.

"Formation. No gunfire," Rick ordered as he moved forward to put his machete to a walker's head. Daryl continue behind him and fired a bolt into another's head, before he went back to the formation. "Oscar." Rick called out as Oscar stepped forward and slammed his weapon into one of the walker and started smashing its head in.

"There's too many of 'em," Daryl said out loud. They all seemed to agree with him as Oscar grabbed his duffle bag that he dropped earlier and slung it back to his shoulder. "This way," Rick called as he took off to a narrower path that wasn't infested with walkers with the other behind him. They found a wooden cabin at the end of the path and Rick kicked the door in. They got into the cabin quickly, and the woman was the last one to go in. "Get the door." Rick ordered as the woman turned around and slam the door close.

"Keep it down, keep it down" Rick warned

For a moment, the group just stood by the door, waiting to see if anything would be come out while Rick shined his flashlight around the room to check if there's anything around. Just then, they started to notice a strong smell coming from the hall.

"That smell… It's loud!" Daryl grunted as he covered his nose with the back of his hand.

It smelled like something had been rotting as Daryl move further into the house, searching for the source of the smell with Rick and Oscar both him from behind, leaving the rest of the group at the door. The cabin was pretty dark, all of the windows had been boarded shut, so there's only few of the sun managed to leak through. The buzzing of flies was heard as the smell got stronger with every steps they took.

"What the hell is that?" Oscar asked.

"Gotta be a fox," Daryl said "or what's left of one."

Rick turned his flashlight to take a better sight upon something that looked like a dead animal lying on the ground, and it had been dead long enough to start smelling.

"I guess Lassie went home." Daryl said as he turned around, to check the other room, when the walkers had started slamming themselves to the front door, trying to push their way through. Rick decided to ignore the sound and turned around to clear the cabin first.

Rick quietly called Daryl when he saw a bed in the far corner of the cabin and jerked his head at the bed. There are blankets covering the bed, but he notice something was hiding under the thick blankets. Daryl walked over with his knife ready to attack what might be in the blanket, Rick grabbed the blanket and hesitated for a second before pulling them off.

Once the blankets had been pulled off, a hermit quickly stood with gun in his hand jolted up, a shotgun aimed at all of them. The two of them jumped as a man shot up with a startled yell.

"Who the hell are you?" the man demanded as he pointed out his gun while Daryl watched the man closely with his knife held in front of him readily.

"We don't mean any harm" Rick tried to calm him down

"Get outta my house!" the man cried

"Okay, okay, okay, we will, but we can't right now."

"NOW!" The man shouted back and the sound attracted the walkers and they seemed to have gotten louder.

"Shut him up," the woman glared

"Get out right now!"

"There are wakers outside!" Rick snapped, trying to get him to understand

The man looked over to Daryl before settling his eyes on Rick. They could see that his eyes looked so frightened. "I'll call the cops," the man warned

"I am a cop" Rick stated as calm as he can "Now, I need you to lower the gun." Rick said as he lowered himself down to put his machete to the ground not breaking eye-contact with the man didn't budge and held his shotgun even tighter, looking around at everyone frantically. Rick slowly stood back him, his hands still raised. "Everything's fine," Rick said slowly "Let's just-let's just take this nice and slow, okay?"

"Look at me," Rick called the man when he still looked around "Hey, hey…"

The man stared at him for a moment "Show me your badge," he suddenly shouted, aiming the gun at Rick's head.

"All right. It's in my pocket. It's in my pocket." Rick nodded as he pointed down to his pocket "Now, I'm just gonna reach down nice and slow."

Rick slowly started reaching down to his pocket as the man's eyes followed his hand, but he kept the gun on Rick's chest. While he was distracted, Rick smacking the guns from his face to the side. The man fired in shock as the bullet went through and make a hole in the door. Rick managed to take the gun from the man, and shoved it out from his hand before putting the man into a head lock.

"Let go of me!" the man struggled "I'll kill you, you-! Let go of me!"

."Shut up!" Rick hissed as he placed his hand over the man's mouth "Shut up!"

The man bit Rick's hand as he grunted in pain and the man had gotten himself out of Rick's grasp, running toward the front door shouting. "Help!" he cried out a he quickly ran towards the front door "They found me! Help me!"

"Don't open that door!" Rick tried to warn him.

Before the man could even reach door, the woman stabbed him through the chest with her katana. She pulled it back, and the man fell to the floor with a lifeless thud which making everyone to stare at the woman in shock.

Rosalyn's eyes finally fluttered open as she adjusted the light from the room. She took a deep breath, trying to erase the thing that just happen earlier. She her legs and buried her face into her knee while closing her eyes tightly. Will she die today? She can't die now, there's still a lot of things that she wanted to do. She didn't like the thought of leaving her friends back at the prison, what about her brothers? And Daryl? She can't die, not today.

When she finally collected herself, Rosalyn slowly stood up and walked towards the door, thinking that there's no one outside since there's no sound at all. But then, the door opened as a man came into the room, his eyes landed on her as he scoffed

"Finally got your sense back?" he headed towards her and grabbed her by the arm "Let's get going"

"Where are you taking me?" she asked as the man started to pull her out of the door.

"Back to your friends" The man stated. Rosalyn blinked for a second and she could feel her heart drop into her stomach, she felt uneasy at his words. She could only hope they didn't do anything to Glenn or Maggie. The man led her into a room where she can see Glenn and Maggie were kneeling beside each other while Merle circle around them with gun in his hand.

"Here's the last one" the man shoved Rosalyn into the room as she looked at Merle

"Finally" Merle grinned before he motioned her to kneel beside Maggie "Hurry up and join your little friend, blondie"

Rosalyn slowly walked towards them and kneel beside Maggie who's sobbing lightly. Her eyes averted to Glenn, his eye was almost swollen, blood was smearing his face and body and he was shirtless, because his shirt was worn by Maggie. Rosalyn knew that he could barely stand without help.

"It was nice to see you again," Merle stated "Glad that we could catch up."

"Just keep looking at me." Glenn told Maggie, as he held her hand

"I love you." Maggie said as two of them look at each other, just as a bag was put over her head.

Merle walked over to Rosalyn and stared down at her as she stared back at him. She could see conflict in his eyes just before he put a bag over her head. Rosalyn's eye went wide slightly as she hear him saying "I'm sorry" it was barely audible, but she could clearly hear him

"On your feet," another voice ordered. "Move. Let's go, come on."

They were forced onto their feet and the men led them out of the room. Just after a few steps, Rosalyn could feel and heard an explosion just right in front of them as all of the woodbury's men cough painfully. She confusedly stood there and tried to wrap her mind around the whole situation. Suddenly the bag was removed from her head, revealing the face of Daryl Dixon right in front of her full with worry and anger. Rosalyn could see Rick and the other had saved Maggie and Glenn.

"C'mon" Daryl muttered, pulling her close as he led her out of the smoke, the guards seemed to recover from the attack, and started firing. They ducked and ran to where the exit with the other before they all got out of the warehouse.

Daryl kept one of his arm around Rosalyn while the other holding his crossbow, refusing to let her go in this situation. Rick and Maggie had supported Glenn as they ran through the streets, trying to avoid any more of the guards. When Rick led them to another room, Glenn stumbled to his knees with Maggie immediately at his side.

"Inside, quick!" Rick told them as they approach the nearest building. When they got into the building, Glenn stumbled to his knee, scooting over to one of the tables to lean on them with Maggie at his side. Daryl placed Rosalyn right beside Glenn and Maggie as he continue his way to the back before pacing back "Ain't no way out back here," he exclaimed

"Rick, how did you find us?" Maggie asked him out loud

Rick didn't say anything and looked over to Glenn. "How bad are you hurt?" he asked while turning towards Rosalyn who quickly nodded and started to check for any other injuries on him. Beside the purple eyes, busted lips and some dried blood on his chin and neck, she couldn't find anything else, but she was sure his torso was bruised and swollen.

"I'll be all right," Glenn grunted in slight pain while smiling lightly at Rosalyn

Rick nodded over to Rosalyn waiting for her confirmation. "His torso might be swollen and there's a few bruise on him..." she paused as her eyes met Glenn's pleading eyes as she continued, "But I'm sure he'll be alright"

"What about you?" Daryl asked

"I'm alright" she smiled at him lightly to assure him. Rick nodded in satisfaction before he turned around

"Where's that woman?" Maggie asked before Daryl could question her any further.

Rick glanced around "She was right behind us." he said before knelling down in front of one of the windows, looking outside.

"Maybe she was spotted," Oscar said.

"Want me to go look for her?" Daryl suggested

"No," Rick replied shortly as he turned back to Rosalyn, Glenn and Maggie "We gotta get them outta here. She's on her own."

"Daryl," Glenn called out, trying to bit out of his pain "this was Merle."

Daryl paused, tensing down at the name of his brother. Rosalyn herself tensed as Glenn spoke up, this is not the time talk about this, she knew Daryl would do something when he know that his brother is still alive and was right in this place. It was too late for her to keep the truth from him.

"It was," Glenn said He did this."

"You saw him?" he asked as he stepped closer to them.

"Face to face. He threw a walker at me." he explained as Maggie helped him to put his jacket on. "He was gonna execute us."

He stepped forward even more with a confused look on his face. "S-So my brother's this Governor?" he asked hesitantly

"No, he's somebody else," Maggie replied instead "Your brother's his lieutenant or somethin'."

"Does he know I'm still with you?" he said looking a little hopeful which making Rosalyn to feel uneasy as she watch him focused on Glenn's every words.

"He does now," Glenn said, looking guilty as he did "Rick, I'm sorry. We told him where the prison was. We couldn't hold out."

Rick quickly kneel in front of him and placed his hand on his shoulder "Don't. No need to apologize," he said as he patted his leg before going back to the window to look outside again.

"They're gonna be looking for us." Maggie told them

Rick nodded as he turned away from the window "We have to get back," he looked at Glenn with worry as he walked towards him. "Can you walk? We got a car a few miles out."

After letting out a painful sigh he nodded "I'm good,"

"Alright." Rick nodded and grabbed one of Glenn's arms as he and Maggie helped him to his feet.

Daryl quickly stepped forward "Hey, if Merle's around, I need to see him," he said almost desperately. He moved to go towards the door, but Rick stepped out in front of him just in time to stop him.

"Not now. We're in hostile territory," Rick pointed out

"He's my brother. I ain't gonna—"

"Look at what he did!" he snapped quietly, looking over to Rosalyn, Maggie and Glenn and"Look, we gotta - we gotta get outta here now."

"Maybe I can talk to him," Daryl said. "Maybe I can work somethin' out."

"No, no, no, you're not thinking straight." He glanced behind again at Maggie, Glenn, and Rosalyn, "Look, no matter what they say, they're hurt. Glenn can barely walk. Rosalyn is mentally unstable. How are we gonna make it out if we get overrun by walkers, or if this Governor catches up to us? I need you, Rosalyn needs you."

Daryl stared at him, obviously helpless and desperate. Seeing the mixed emotion in his eyes, Rosalyn pulled herself together and walked towards him to take his hand, giving it a light assuring squeeze which he return gratefully.

"Are you with me?" Rick asked.

Daryl glanced at Rosalyn and nodded. "Yeah."
