Bargaining
"Who the hell do any of you think you are? None of you have any right to tell me I can't fight." Enid screams at the three adults standing before her.
"Enid, we only want what's best for you." Maggie says as she tries to reason with the teen.
"You know nothing about what's best for me." She snaps back. Part of her feels guilty for snapping at Maggie. She knows the older woman is just trying to help her but she doesn't want anyone help right now. She just wants to fight and to kill every saviour she can.
She wants this war to be done with. She wants revenge for what the Saviours did to Glenn and Abraham. She wants vengeance for Sasha.
Most of all she believes that maybe if she can take down enough saviours then maybe God or whoever will grant her what she wishes for most right now.
She's bargaining with the fates, she thinks if she takes down enough saviour that maybe by some miracle Carl can come back. After all Carl deserves to live so much more than any of the Saviours. If she has to risk her life, if she has to risk her child's life than so be it. She'll do anything to get Carl back, even if that means dying.
"Enid." Rick starts his voice soft. "We just want you to be safe, you and the baby."
"The only reason you want me safe is because I'm carrying Carl's child." She states bluntly. "If I wasn't then you wouldn't give a rats-ass about me."
"That's not true, I care about you Enid…we all do. I'm asking you to stay with the children tonight because I'm trying to Protect you."
She laughs bitterly. "Like you protected Glenn and Abraham? Like you protected Olivia? Or Spencer? How about Sasha and Eric?" She is glaring at him. "Like you protected Carl. Because if that's how you protect people than I think I'm better off on my own and so is Carl's Child."
The room is filled with silence and she sees the look of hurt on Rick's face, the angry look Michonne is directing at her and the look of disappointment on Maggie's face.
"Carl was brave, he cared about people…he cared about you." Michonne says in a quiet voice.
Enid's steps forward as hot tears fill her eyes. "And look what that got him. He's dead."
Before any of them can say anything else, she turns on her heel and storms off.

When the saviours attack that night, the fighting is intense and Enid is in the thick of it.
She guns down several saviours. She's holding up her end of the bargain. The fates better hold up their end of the deal.
She's fighting next to Bertie and Rosita when she sees a group of three Saviours trying to sneak up on Rick and some of the others.
Ignoring the hailstorm of bullets around her, she steps out into the open, right in front of the group of saviours.
Without hesitation, she opens fire. Her revolver lets loose five rounds which take down the group in seconds.
She smiles triumphantly but within a few seconds everything changes.
"Enid behind you." She hears Michonne call.
She feels it and it hurts like hell. A bullet hits her in the abdomen. The pain is so intense that she falls to the ground.
As she lays there, holding her wound as bloods soaks through her shirt, her vision grows blurry and she feels herself drifting into unconsciousness. The lets things she sees is Rick and Jesus leaning down to pick her up and then everything goes black.
