"Daryl, are you going to speak to me?" Lilliann asked, sheepishly. Her back was turned to the man crouched in the corner of his cell, the bars open. No one dared speak to the young couple when they returned from their search mission with Amber. Daryl went straight to his cell, not saying anything to anyone; Amber did the same. Leaving it up to the blind girl to repeat what happened. Lilliann could only imagine the sorrow and pity that appeared on their faces as Lilliann told how they found Amber sobbing over Merle's body, a gun in her hand. Merle had three wounds; two ripped off finger, one bullet in the stomach and another in the head.
"Daryl, he did it. The Gov'nor did it." Amber explained through choked breaths. Lilliann helped her friend to her feet as Darly bent down beside his brother.
"Merle...Merle." After Amber regained herself, both girls put a hand on Daryl's shoulders and mourned beside him.
"Lilliann, just leave." Daryl's hoarse voice dragged Lilliann from her thoughts.
"I need ADAM though and I don't want to go alone." Lilliann claimed, her voice almost pleading for the man to join her.
"Ask Amber." Amber, she was also curled up in her bed. Her bars were closed so no one could enter.
"At least you spoke to me this time." Lilliann sighed, sadly. She didn't press her luck anymore and walked away, dragging her feet. She made it half way down the stairs when she heard something behind her.
"Wait, I should get some fresh air." A smile played on the girl's lips as she waited for the man to reach her and the two of them walked out of the prison, fingers laced together.
"Hey look who came out of their cell. Its nice to see you out and about." Carol gave the two a light smile as they walked across the green field. She didn't stop to say anything else but continued on her way as they continued on theirs.
The young couple made it to the outside fence. Splicers were bending the wire slightly as they piled ontop of each other in attempt to eat. As Lilliann neared them, their hunger grew and they became wild like; clawing and chomping their jaws trying to reach her.
"Anyone around?" Daryl asked, his voice stifling sadness.
"No, no one is close and if they could see us they'd have no idea what we're doing." It was still a secret that without ADAM Lilliann became heartless and power hungry. She didn't want to be outcasted by the group simply because of genetic mutation; it was bad enough they pitied her because of her blindless, she didn't need them fearing another predator out there.
"Just get it over with it will ya." Daryl growled, looking over his shoulder as Lilliann approached the fence. More Splicers approached, crawling over the other ones as they smelled the fresh blood pumping through her body.
Lilliann did as he instructed, quickly tearing apart the Splicers and bottling up the precious ADAM inside. When she was done the two walked back to the prison, passing a few children and other members.
"Hey Daryl, Carol was looking for you. I think she needs help with water or something." Rick approached the young couple, emerging from the garden.
"Alright, I'll go help her." Daryl gave Lilliann a light kiss on her cheek before disappearing from her side.
"Hey, Lilliann wanna help me with something?" Rick asked, grabbing the girl's hand.
"Sure, I guess." Lilliann allowed the man to lead her, knowing that her source of ADAM was getting lower and lower with every second passing by. She could feel her eyes burning and her feet twitched. The burning completely consumed her eyes and Lilliann found herself blinking several times until her gaze focused on Rick. He looked grizzly with his beard all wiry and long, his eyes were tired and he looked aged with wrinkles.
"I need your help trying to get these walkers off the fence. We need them to spread out more so their not putting so much pressure on one spot." Rick said guiding the girl towards a quiet spot in the fence.
"Ok I can help with that I guess. Rick is this going to be a home for everyone? I mean our group is small right now but what if we allow more people in?" she asked, walking along the fence and allowing the splicers to follow them.
"We'll have to deal with all that when the times come." Rick said, "Please continue what you're doing. I've got more things to check out." Rick left quickly, when his back was turned Lilliann opened one of the viles of ADAM and began to drink it.
She dripped some ADAM on the fence that attracted some Splicers and walked away. Lilliann walked around the prison trying to find Amber. The blind girl knew they needed to talk about what will happen now that the group didn't give the Gov'ner Michonne. He was going to attack and they needed to be prepared to defend this place.
"Amber, we need to talk." Lilliann approached her cell and tapped on the bars with her fingers, hoping Amber would them up.
"What do you want to talk about?" She opened the gate and closed it behind the blind girl. Lilliann sat next to her on the bed.
"What are we going to do if there's an attack? How are we going to defend these people?" The red head asked, trying to sound more confident than she felt.
Its been a few days since Lilliann spoke with Amber about their plan if there's an attack. The prison has been building itself up; their defenses were getting stronger and they were all prepared to attack with their lives. Lilliann had begun to take smaller and smaller doses of ADAM, she hasn't told anyone but she knew if there was an attack she needed to be able to see so she could fire a gun.
Something in the air made Lilliann's hair rise and dread filled her stomach. Today something was going to happen. She was walking around when she heard the vehicles appraoch. Suddenly bullets filled the air as an army began to shoot out the fences, splicers and guard towers. People exited the vehicles and Lilliann could feel them break through the main defenses into the prison.
The group was prepared and Lilliann ran for cover, hoping to run out of ADAM soon so she could fit. With what was left of her ability she followed the men as they ran through the corridors of the prison, looking for anyone. Slowly they opened gates and tried to find anyone that was still alive. When they couldn't find anyone they exited the cells and then Lilliann couldn't sense them anymore. Her eyes burned and she blinked until she could faintly make out the darkness around her. Lilliann had a small gun that she held close to her.
Her bloodlust came at full force and she couldn't wait to put a bullet in someones' skull. She heard footsteps approaching and Splicers growling in the darkness as she grew bored of waiting. Finally a signal blared and we moved out, firing as the men below ran.
"Run like cowards boys." Lilliann smiled to herself as she began to fire. The Gov'nor's men loaded into their vehicles and ran. When they left Lilliann reluctantly drank some ADAM and returned to her blindness. She dropped her weapon and group up with the others.
"We did it, we drove them out." Rick said. The group started talking at once trying to convince Rick to go after them and finish what was started. We grouped up the Beth, Hershel and Carl along with Judith. The men argued as everyone got situated.
"what's our next move?" Lillian asked Daryl.
"Rick will let us know. If we do go to Woodbury I want you to stay behind and be safe." Daryl said, placing his hands on the blind girl.
"B-but I can be useful out there." Lilliann claimed, her voice beginning to break.
"I know but during a war we need to just attack. I'm sorry but you need to stay and get everyone out if you sense any of his men coming here." Daryl said, he gave the girl a kiss on her lips before she could reject him.
"Very well. Be safe, please." She begged as she turned away and ran towards the cells.
I was with the group, preparing to move out. We loaded into our vehicles and headed for Woodbury. I rode with Rick and Michonne as Daryl drove in front on his bike. Down the road we spotted his trucks, along with Splicers and the Gov'nor's dead men. Suddeny I looked over to see a girl in one of the trucks, she looked unharmed and really shooken up. Rick held the gun to her head as I opened the door and let her out. The woman explained her name was Karen and told us how the Gov'nor fired on everyone and ran away. We followed in the shadows back to Woodbury until bullets started to fly through the air. Karen yelled for one of the men that was firing on the Woodbury side and she explained what happened.
A man let us in and Rick began to talk to him. He explained how Andrea never made it to the prison and we began to search for her. We walked down a corridor where Rick explained this is where he held Glenn and Maggie. We opened the door to find Milton dead by a chair and Andrea next to the door. She showed us her bite and I left the room. Giving them all some space to say goodbye.
Rick exited the room, followed by the rest of the gang. We turned away from the door and took a step before hearing one gun shot.
"She's gone..." Michonne whispered as we left the corridor and gathered everyone that was in Woodbury. They agreed to come with us and we drove them back to the prison the next morning, in silence.
