Chapter Two: Claimed
As Phillip Blake aka The Governor aka Brian Herriot and his group continue to Terminus, they stop for the night to rest. Phillip and Mitch take the first watch. "Mitch, can you continue to take watch? I need to do a little thinking on my own." As Phillip wonders around the woods, he comes across an abandoned white house and heads back to the group. "Everyone, I found an abandoned house, we can gather supplies and continue to rest there."
As they head for the house, they run into another group. The group includes Joe, Tony, Harley, Lou, Len, Billy, and Dan. "What do you want?" asked Joe as him and his group had their weapons pointed at them. "The house," Said Mitch. "The property has already been claimed, by us," Said Len. "Well now we're claiming it. I have a tank. You can either leave or die; your choice, the last group we fought with ended up dying."
"Well, I guess you're right about that. We'll pack our things and head out," said Joe. The claimers end up packing everything and leaving but not very far. Phillip and his people settle into the house.
Joe and his group are within the area, planning their strategy against The Governor's group. Later that night, Abraham was on watch. Abraham heard a noise coming from the east and decided to check it out without going too far from the group. As Abraham's back is turned, Lou hijacked the tank and started heading for the house. Everyone was asleep except for Phillip.
Phillip, seeing the tank move and Mitch fast asleep, escaped and ended up on his own without being seen. The tank tore the house down and ended up killing Rosita and a few unnamed members of The Governor's group. Mitch snuck behind the tank, going inside and having a fight with Lou. Lily shot Tony in the head; Abraham went on a rampage over Rosita's death and shot Dan and Harley in the head. He ran out of ammo and started heading after Len. Len shot Abraham in the arm with an arrow but it didn't stop Abraham because of his adrenaline rush, he kept going towards him, eventually catching him and brutally beating him to death.
Mitch ended up killing Lou. Joe shot Lily in the chest, killing her and causing her to reanimate. Eugene took a knife and stabbed Lily in the head. Joe and Billy ended up escaping. A couple hours later, Phillip, Joe and Billy ended up crossing paths however, Joe and Billy didn't recognize Phillip being in the other group. "Well, look at who we got here. How did you lose that eye? I bet you have an interesting story," Joe said to The Governor. Phillip didn't respond to that and realized that they didn't recognize him.
"Where are you headed?" asked Joe. "Terminus..." When Joe heard this from Phillip, he chuckled and said "Terminus is a lie, what's your name?" "Brian Herriot..." "Nice to meet you Brian, the name's Joe and this is Billy."
