Chapter 7

We Will Stand

"It-it's us" Carl said.
"They're all dead"
"What are you talking about Carl?" Asked Daryl.
Daryl looks around into the closet and see a chalkboard.
On the chalk board there is a map Circling their location, the 2 other cabins and the prison.
And written on the side "Tonight!"
"They are gonna try and take the prison." Carl said softly.
"We got to get back!" Daryl said.
"No." Carl said. "It's too late."
"Carl come on! Glenn and Maggie and Carol are probably holding them off!" Daryl shouted.
"Get your ass up here Carl!" Daryl yelled as he was running back up.
"What's wrong?" Jarrod asked.
"These nut jobs,There at the prison."
"How do you know?" Asked Jarrod.
"They have a map!" Daryl explained
"Come on!" Daryl shouted starting for the prison.
"What about her?" Jarrod asked pointing towards Cri.
Carl's Gunfire scares the group.
"Oh my- oh my god, you killed her." Max said.
"Lets go." Carl said.
"Hold on, give me a weapon." Max said.
"My brothers there!" He shouted.
Carl hands Max the pistol he intended to give to him earlier.
The four of them take off for the prison. Not worrying about formations. Not stopping once.
The group is about two minutes away from the prison.
When Daryl hears something in the trees." Wait!" He shouts
"What is it?" Max asked.
"Sshh"
A bald Asian man leaps down from a low branch, wearing a brown robe holding a bow staff. In one hand. And a human head in the other.
All four men have there weapons towards this mysterious man.
2 more similar looking men come out of the woods.
Also holding heads and bow staffs.
Carl and his men move closer together.
The Three men wearing robes place the heads down at their feet.
the two men on the sides were not wearing any shoes. the man in the middle was wearing boots that sort of look like 80's disco shoes.
After they place the male heads down. They all take a couple steps back then they all bow And walk back into the woods.
"Hey get back here!" Daryl screamed
"Is this some kind of threat?" Max asked the group.
"I don't know but we better get back"
Carl answered.
"I agree, we got to go." Said Jarrod.
The four of em' finish running to the prison. And they see no Glenn or Maggie.
"Maybe they went inside." Jarrod said.
They get closer to the gate. And they see 3
Headless naked male bodies sitting leaning in the gate.
"What the hell Is this?" Carl asked.
"This is what those guys did!" Max said.
"That disco guy did this."
"Carol!" Daryl called.
"Glenn! Maggie!"
"Oh my god. What if they got them?" Jarrod asked.
"They didn't!" Carl said.
"How do you know?" Jarrod asked.
Just then Glenn comes walking back out of the prison.
"Thank god your okay!" Carl said.
Glenn doesn't respond.
"Glenn? Glenn whats wrong?"
"Where's Maggie?"
"Maggie's fine." Glen said.
"Then what is it."
"Jarrod, I'm sorry. Your dad, didn't make it"
"No, that's- that's not true. That's a lie!" Jarrod shouts back.
"That is a DAMN lie!" Jarrod screamed at Glenn.
"Jarrod I'm so sorry." Glenn says crying.
"Open this gate."
"Jarrod he doesn't look to good"
"I said open the gate!"
"Okay I'm sorry."
Glenn opens the gate.
Jarrod runs in to see Maggie crying laying on the floor.
"Oh my god Maggie" Jarrod said.
"Jarrod!"
Maggie runs and gets a hug from Jarrod.

Daryl goes and finds Carol.

"What the hell happened here?" Carl asks Glenn.
" David was watching Judith, so Maggie suggested to Hershel he should come out and get some fresh air. So Him and Maggie were walking around the yard when these 3 guys came out of nowhere with these guns and they- they fucking killed him man." Glenn grieves.
"I'm gonna go check on everyone." Carl said while heading towards the prison.
Carl arrives in his cell block.
"David is Judith okay?" Carl asked
"Yeah she's fine" David said.
"She's sleeping"
"Okay thank you David. I'm gonna go check on Sarah."
Carl gets to Sarah.
"Oh hey your back." Sarah said.
"Where's max?!" Harry panics.
"He's fine. He's out in the yard."
"Oh good" Harry said.
"Carl no one has been in here for the last hour I am Really thirsty."
"Then go to my block and get something to drink." Carl said while letting her out.
"By myself?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah sure." Carl said.
"Carl what's wrong?"Sarah asked.
"We lost Hershel." Carl said, breaking down.
"Oh my god Carl I'm so sorry" Sarah said giving him a big hug.
"He didn't deserve to die." Carl said crying on Sarah's shoulder.
Max walks in and and asks for his brother to be let out.
Carl turn to Harry's cell and lets
Him out as well.
"Grab your blankets and take them over to cell block C, you guys will sleep in the top cell, and I don't want you to say a word to Maggie or Glenn, and I never want to here you say his name. Got it?"
"Got it." Max and Harry both said.
Carl and Sarah walk into her cell and just sit down on the bed, and they fall asleep.

Carl stand up and preaches to the group,
" It's been a rough couple of months, We have lost loved ones. We have fought we have been betrayed. But we can't let that get us down, we need to use that to make us stronger! Wiser! Quicker! We need to be ready for these things so we can act before they happen! I know I have made some decisions lately that you may not all agree with. But the important part is you still took the orders you listened, and because of that, we still stand!"
