Chapter 14-His threat

Oliver's P.O.V

Oliver hears a gate opened as he is pushed forwards. Once the gate closes the bag is taken off his head and he looks around. He was in a school yard. People walked around the yard, there was a garden on one side and on the other were a couple of cages. "Do you like what you see?" Colt asks.

"What are the cages for?" Sasha asks.

"Our workers," Colt says. "Follow me," He says as he begins to walk and Sasha and Oliver are pushed forward.

"If you're going to kill us, you might as well do it," Oliver growls.

"I'm not going to kill you, Oliver," Colt says. "That would send the wrong message to, Rick. I don't want a war, I don't want to kill all of you but Rick is forcing my hand so maybe the three of us together can convince him to listen."

"We won't help you hurt our people," Sasha says.

"Again, I don't want to hurt anybody," Colt says as they get to a room and he opens the door and the two are led in and sat down.

"Sir," Lucas says as he walks in the room. "There are three men at the gate."

"Alright, have them brought into here, we'll talk with them too," Colt tells Lucas who nods as he walks away. They wait a couple of minutes and three men are led into the room. "Nice to meet you, I'm Colt."

"Morgan, this is Morales and Eastman," Morgan says.

"Alright, I got some things to handle gentlemen but when I get back, we'll all talk," Colt says as he leaves.

"You guys picked the wrong place to stop," Oliver tells them.

"We know," Morales says. "We walked up to the gate and we saw the cages but they had their guns on us already."

"Yeah, I'm Oliver, this is Sasha," Oliver tells them.

"You with them?" Eastmen asks.

"No, we're part of another community they are threating, we were trying to find out where they lived," Sasha says. "What about you guys? Why are you here?"

"We're looking for someone," Morgan says as he pulls the map out of his pocket and holds it out to Oliver. Oliver opens the map and looks at it.

"You were in Shirewilt," Oliver says.

"You were there?" Morales asks. "Do you know, Rick Grimes?"

"Yeah, I'm part of his group, how do you know Rick?" Oliver asks.

"I saved him after he woke up from his coma. Morales was apart of their group at the beginning," Morgan says.

"So you know Daryl, Shane, Glenn, Carol, Carl?" Sasha asks Morales who nods.

"Yeah," Morales says. "We have to get out of here."

"In case you haven't noticed, they took our weapons," Sasha says.

"We'll figure something out," Morgan says. "For now we wait."

Shane's P.O.V

10 months ago

Shane stood on the porch of the farm as they trucked pulled up. Octavia climbs out of the truck and looks at him. "Everything still clear?" Octavia asks Shane who nods.

"Yeah, I buried Patricia. I haven't seen any walkers," Shane tells her as the others get out of the truck. "I need to go and do something. I'll be back in a little while."

"Where are you going?" Theo asks him.

"There is one more person I have to bury," Shane tells them.

"I'll go with you," Oliver says. Shane nods as he walks towards the woods and Oliver follows him.

Rick's P.O.V

Rick set Judith down in the crib and walked out of the room. He walked outside and looked at Clarke as she walked up the porch. "You here anything more from Colt?" Clarke asks Rick who shakes his head.

"Nothing," Rick tells her. "Hopefully Oliver and Sasha have already found their home and are on their way back."

"Hopefully," Clarke says as Rick walks down the porch steps. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Rick answers.

"How many people have you killed?" Clarke asks Rick who stops and looks at her.

"I lost count," Rick answers after a moment. "After a while they just started to blend together. I don't regret who I have killed, I did it so my people could live, so Carl could live. Truth is, the living are more dangerous than the dead are."

Clarke nods. "Does it get any easier?"

"As long as it is someone who is trying to kill me," Rick answers. "Killing a person, it takes a piece of you away. A part of your humanity. That you'll never get back. Have you ever killed anybody, Clarke?"

"Three people," Clarke answers. "One was my fiancée, at the start."

"I'm sorry," Rick says. "Hopefully one day, the living will stop killing each other."

"Hopefully."

Oliver's P.O.V

Oliver looks at the door as it opens and Colt walks in. "Let's talk," Colt says as he sits down. "I'm not a bad guy but your people did steal from my people and you see how that puts me in a tough spot."

"We didn't steal from anybody," Oliver says. "Glenn offered you the supplies back, if you really cared about it, you would have taken it. You're just an asshole and I promise you, if you hurt any of our people. I will kill you."

Colt laughs and looks at Morgan, Morales, and Eastmen. "He's so nice," Colt says as he looks at Oliver and stands up. "Alright, Oliver, you said if I hurt any of your people," Colt says as he removes his knife. "What if I kill one of them," He says as he points the knife at Morgan.

"It doesn't matter who you kill. I'm going to kill you," Oliver growls.

Colt looks at Lucas and nods. "Take them them out, all four of them, leave Oliver. Get them ready, they're going to Rick."

"Why us?" Morales asks.

"You wanna stay?" Colt asks as he pulls a map out of his pocket. "This was in your bag Morales. I'm giving Rick a present."

"What about Oliver?" Sasha asks.

"We're going to stay here and bond," Colt says. "Get them out," The men grab the other four and lead them out of the room and Colt stares at Oliver. "I like you, I think you'll fit in here real well," Colt says as he motions Ruby forwards. He grabs Oliver by his hair and Colt grabs his hand. "How many people are in your community?" Oliver spits in his face.

"I really like you," Colt says. "Here's what's going to happen Oliver. You're going to talk or I'm going to start taking pieces off of you."

"Start chopping," Oliver says.

"Alright," Colt says before he slams his knife down on Oliver thumb making him cry out in pain. "Put this in a bag and give it to Sasha."

"Understood," Ruby says as she takes the thumb and walks away.

"We'll talk more later," Colt says before he leaves Oliver glares at the door.

Shane's P.O.V

Ten months ago

Shane and Oliver walk through the woods. Shane stops when he sees a body on the ground. He walks up to the body and bends down. "Who is he?" Oliver asks.

"His name was Randall, he attacked Rick, Glenn, and Hershel and they saved him. I was pissed, and the night I tried to kill Rick, I killed him," Shane says. "I'm going to bury him, not leave him laying in the forest," Shane says as he picks the body up and Oliver nods as they start to walk back towards the farm.

"How many people have you killed, Shane?" Oliver asks.

"Two," Shane answers as they continue to walk.

Maggie's P.O.V

Maggie looked at Daryl as he walked into the house. "Have you seen Glenn?" Maggie asks Daryl who nods.

"He's with Beth, and Noah. They are checking on the garden," Daryl tells her as he sits down. "So are you going to give me the talk?"

"No, of course not, cause you already know that if you hurt her, I will kill you and nobody will ever find you body," Maggie says with a smirk and Daryl chuckles. "I do have to say, It surprised me a little, you two barley talked in the prison."

"After the prison, I didn't want to look for you guys. I didn't want to find you dead or as walkers but she did, and she gave me hope that you guys were alive."

"You also burned down a cabin?" Maggie asks Daryl who nods.

"We drank some moonshine, talked a little and burned that cabin to the ground," Daryl tells her.

"You gave Beth moonshine as her first drink?" Maggie asks Daryl who nods.

"She did better than I did."

"What kind of drunk was she?"

"Happy and a little sad," Daryl answers and Maggie smiles.

"We should probably go help them," Maggie says as she stands and Daryl nods as he follows her to the door. "Just so you know, Daddy would approve."

"Thanks," Daryl says as they leave the house.

Rick's P.O.V

Rick walked up to Carl. "How are things going with Gabriel?" Rick asks his son.

"He's getting better," Carl tells his father. "He's going to be one of us, Dad. I know it."

"You said the same thing about Michonne and you were right I will trust you judgement," Rick says with a smirk. "I was hoping we wouldn't have to fight anybody for a litte while."

"We'll win, we always do," Carl tells his father who nods.

"They're back!" He hears someone shouts from the gate. Rick and Carl run towards the gate as it is opened and Sasha, Morgan, Eastmen, and Morales come in. Rick stops when he sees Morgan.

"Morgan?" Rick says as he stares at the man.

"Hi, Rick," Morgan says as Glenn looks at Morales.

"Morales?"

"Glenn," Morales says.

"Where's Oliver?" Clarke asks.

"They have him," Sasha says as she empty's the bag and his thumb comes out. "They're going to keep doing this to him unless we figure something out, quickly."

Rick grabs the radio. "Colt."

"You got my present I assume," Colt says. "Well here is how this is going to go, every two days I am going to take something off him. After his fingers, I'll take a hand then and eye. You better act quickly Rick Grimes," Colt says before the radio goes off.

"What are we going to do?" Octavia asks him.

"We're going to kill them all," Rick answers.

Thanks for reading. Next chapter Rick reconnects with Morgan as Daryl and Glenn talk with Morales and the group starts to form a plan of attack against Colt as Oliver does his best to survive. As always suggestions, ideas, and feedback are welcomed. Until next time.
