Walking Dead Wizard

Chapter 65

"Michonne get Anubis, Andre, Patrick and Luke to the hospital wing beside Luna, you may remain behind if you wish, but we need everyone we can get out there. Dale you stay in prison beside the door, keep an eye on anyone coming down the corridor, anyone that isn't us shoot them." Harry informed Michonne and Dale as he rounded on them, there was nowhere safer for the kids to be right now than with Luna, she would protect them even if this all went to hell and they all died, not that it would happen he wouldn't allow his people to be hurt when he had the power to stop it - even if it was the last time he was able to protect them.

"Merle, get to the roof, stick to the area we discussed, it's best protected," Harry informed Merle, "Daryl you can go with him if you like." knowing the brothers liked to stick together. Merle nodded knowing what Harry meant, he'd made it so it had some spells around the area to give him added protection knowing he liked to be up high and unseen when he was shooting.

"The rest of you stick to the points where you've got safety, take at least one of Rick's group so they know where to go," Harry informed the rest of them, there was also more ammo dumps where the 'safety' hiding spots were in case they were attacked and had no way to refill, they all knew this so they'd be as safe as he could get them. "No shooting until I've gotten Sophia away from potential gunfire."

Once they all gave their understanding of the orders and had their weapons, Harry making sure they did, he said, "Then lets go!" with that they began to make their way out of the prison, going through side doors or up ladders to get to their destination, each of them exhausted but more than ready to defend their home.

Harry's heart sank when he noticed that Sophia was outside the prison gates, a gun pointed at her by someone they all recognized by the picture Harry had drawn of him, the Governor. She was scared, he could see that but she was staying strong, she wasn't crying. They had a bloody tank with them, pointed at the prison, men with guns were spread out, they meant business, fuck, how was he supposed to keep everyone safe? Michonne who had come out looked likely to be sick; she kept Carol back as she screamed for her daughter.

Harry walked towards the gates, ignoring the guns pointed at him, "In!" he snapped to Hela, who was whining at the fact her human was no longer with her. One word was all he needed to say, as Hela whined at him before trotting away, looking as though Harry had hurt her feelings.

"What do you want?" Harry stated sharply, watching the Governor closely, especially where the damn finger was on the gun, first sign of him going to use it he would do whatever he needed, he wasn't going to let Carol down or go back on his word. He loved Sophia, and would die to protect her.

"The prison and your supplies," the Governor said, a charming smile on his face as if he wasn't threatening them, "And you stole someone from me, I want her back or I will put a bullet in her brain." he gestured to Sophia.

"And then what? Shoot us all in the back?" Harry said sardonically, "What's wrong already run out of the supplies you got from the army men you killed? Or the group you decided to off for the sake of it?" he knew this man wouldn't let them survive this encounter, he had plans to kill them all just for a prison and supplies. He probably shouldn't be pissing him off considering he had Sophia but he'd never reacted well to someone threatening him or the people he had cared about. No, he couldn't risk her, deciding what to do, he added, "I've dealt with men like you, my whole life; you want it simply because someone else has it, throwing down a temper tantrum."

"There are no men like me," the Governor stated smugly, his finger beginning to tighten on the trigger, and Harry reacted quickly, Apparating in front of Sophia, the shots went off so quick that he didn't feel the initial pain as the bullets lodged themselves in his body. He felt himself falling through, cursing himself, perhaps it hadn't been the best plan after all, grabbing a hold of Sophia as he fell, he Apparated back to the safety behind the wards, as the gunfire started on both sides.

"HARRY!" was called out from his people, but Daryl's voice was heard above them all, drowning the others out as he began to run towards him. Terror unlike anything he'd ever experienced rushing through him, not even earlier had caused this much alarm, he was so still that he feared that he had been killed. No, he refused to believe that, he'd just gotten out of the first gate when he heard it…glancing at the tank he threw himself bodily to the ground, arms around his head.

Then a loud deafening boom echoed in their ears as the tank ejected a shell straight at the prison.

Harry blinked, dazed and disorientated, realizing though that the wards had slowed the projectile down but didn't stop it fully, a large smoking hole was all that remained of the side of the prison, many of the others had been thrown in the air by the shell a few were moving indicating that they hadn't been too badly hurt - he hoped. Unfortunately for him he couldn't see straight, everything was hazy as if he was looking at the world through a magnifying glass.

"Harry!" Sophia choked, grabbing a gun, firing at anything that moved, trying to keep the man she loved like a father safe from the enemy.

Carol, Big Tiny, Michonne, Maggie, Glenn, Carl, and Axel were open firing as they made their way towards Daryl, who stood up and joined them, all of them trying to get to Harry and Sophia, to get them to safety. All of them looking to be in a state of shock, and just working on auto pilot for now. Harry heard the tank gearing up, they were intending on firing another shell at the prison, while the Governor and the others hid behind the tank in a bid to stop themselves from being hit by the group that was now open firing on them.

Merle cursed violently from the roof, the shot had almost hit him, crudely wiping the blood that had slashed across his face from the debris. Grabbing his gun, he kept shooting, but the fuckers were behind the tank now, he couldn't get a decent aim at them. If they hadn't been aiming at his people he would have admitted it was a good move to make. The bullets just rained uselessly off the damn tank, then he realized with a sinking feeling in his gut that they were reloading, firing uselessly, hoping to hit the projectile before it was ejected, he'd be hit with this one if they fired, he couldn't risk it, moving to stand up, intending on getting Luna the hell out of the building before it went to pieces.

Harry felt a sinking feeling in his gut, unaware he was in sync with the Dixon brothers, for they too felt the same feeling, the prison wouldn't withstand another hit like that, and he couldn't risk either Luna or Merle, that's if he hadn't already been hit.

Andrea peered into the scope, firing a round off, getting one of the fuckers in the leg, aiming at their head cursing when they moved at the last second obscuring them from view as the bullet it the tank. "Come on!" Andrea said angrily, aiming again, this was the first time she'd be able to prove herself properly, yet nothing was going their way, by the looks of things they'd need to move now but she couldn't think on that right now.

Forcing himself up, his body trembling with each breath he took, "DUCK!" Harry shouted unsheathing his wand, he yanked Sophia down and covered her with his own body, he didn't look back to see if they had followed his orders or not, sure in the knowledge that they would. Before an almighty red blast of magic shot out from Harry's wand, aimed straight for the tank, and it hit it, with the emotions dictating Harry's magic, it rendered the tank in pieces, the metal flying in every direction, a secondary explosion resulted in the gas from the tank coming into contact with the blasting curse.

Big Tiny, Carol, Michonne and Axel automatically ducked down, trusting that Harry had a reason for telling them to do so.

Andrea just managed to get both Amy and Beth out of the way of the oncoming projectile, as it slammed against the mesh surrounding their position, a few pieces were big enough to blast right on through, and as evident by the fact they were now stuck embedded in the wall behind them. She swallowed thickly, her heart pounding, she took up position again slowly; looking around seeing that everyone was down they'd done it. Glancing at the side of the prison, despair filling her, but she knew they'd find somewhere else; they'd survived that was all that mattered.

The people who had attacked them moments prior were blasted with the intensity of it, they fell to the ground like rag dolls, pieces of metal big and small embedded in their bodies all except one, the Hispanic who had been bodily thrown under another, who took the majority of the damage, scrambling away still dazed and disoriented, he took one look at Harry's glowing emerald eyes and scrambled for the forest, leaving his people to die excruciatingly painful deaths as the metal had pierced them in their vital organs. Each of them lay on the road or sidewalk blood gurgling down their mouths and throats, gasping for breath, trying to understand what the hell had happened and what they had just seen and unable to comprehend it.

"Maggie!" Glenn shouted, scrambling over to her, hastily checking her over, but other than a piece of metal imbedded in her shoulder she was alright.

"I'm fine," Maggie said dazedly, wincing at the pain having landed painfully on her back, realizing they should have ducked. Tiredness was seeping into her bones; she just wanted to be somewhere safe why couldn't she have that? A small inkling of hope and then it was always snatched away…at terminus…now here as well. Would it ever end? Would they always find somewhere to just have it snatched from them from worse people out there?

Merle watched the scene in disbelief, his feet still on the first rung of the ladder, his upper body still able to see ahead of him. Part of him couldn't believe that Harry had just done magic in front of the others. He was always so adamant about keeping it a secret; he'd half expected it to always remain that way. He'd seen what magic could do, read a bit too, but seeing a small light of magic blast a bloody tank to smithereens was something else. His eyes scanned the area relief flowing through him when he saw Daryl was up and about. He would need to tell Luna what was happening, she was un-doubtfully worried. Though first he had people to take care of, he thought narrowing his eyes on the Governor, not that they were in any way going to cause trouble. It was as if his thoughts had been read, as Carol and Michonne left the safety of the prison, between both of them, they used their dagger and samurai sword to end their lives. He remained where he was, gun at the ready just in case any walkers caught them unawares.

Carol was shaking as she yanked out her blade, fury beyond belief was still coursing through her, they'd almost killed her daughter and could have killed them all, and Harry was in danger as well he'd been shot. Moving towards the next body, ignoring the fact they were gasping for breath, arm up trying to beg for her help, she ignored it and shoved the blade down preventing reanimation. The gunfire will have drawn walkers from all over; hence both she and Michonne were being quick about it.

"Quickly!" Michonne stated, quickly and efficiently taking care of the two others who were lying there that was until she caught sight of the Governor. Fury unlike anything she'd ever felt coursed through her. This disgusting pile of shit had imprisoned her and raped her; he didn't deserve the reprieve of a quick death. She stood over him, staring down at the dying man, she had survived, she'd found her son, he'd tried to break her but he had not succeeded. She watched him struggle for each and every breath he took, a large chunk of metal embedded in his chest, it had perforated his lung.

"Come on," Carol said, placing a hand on her shoulder, she understood how Michonne felt, she'd stood in a similar position a year ago in the quarry with a pickaxe in her hand, ready to stop her husband from reanimating. While Michonne had been through worse in a short time, she'd been through it for years unable to leave the man behind. It had been very cathartic bringing that axe down on Ed, it's perhaps what enabled her to become the woman she was today. Protector, mother, survivor in that order. "We must get back inside, I can hear them." the rumbling grumbles and footsteps of the walkers coming in droves to the area.

Screaming out in fury, she brought the samurai sword down on the Governor ending his life once and for all. Standing there for a moment panting out in exertion, closing her eyes she breathed in then out, something inside of her easing that this monster wouldn't be able to hurt anyone anymore.

Without another glance back, Carol and Michonne began to walk back into the prison, the first fence was weakened by the attack, and wouldn't hold up much but they nonetheless closed it up. They would need to leave, the prison was no longer secure, it had a large hole in it where the cannon hit, but at least for now they'd get together care for their wounded, with a little luck decide on another place before they needed to flee.

Merle sighed in relief as the prison was secured by Oscar for now, and the others back in, putting the strap over his neck, guns at his back he began to descend down the ladder. Adrenaline pumping through him, making him feel even more on edge about everything. He didn't need to worry about Luna since the place that had been hit was nowhere near the room she was in.

"Where's Sophia?" was the first question out of Carol's mouth, asking Oscar who was closest, she needed to be near her daughter for her own peace of mind. Every second now was torture, now that she'd calmed down and dealt with the threat to her daughter's life. She now wanted to know how the hell she'd ended up on the outside of the prison.

"She followed Daryl and Harry back into the prison," Oscar explained, hands shaking but his voice was stable, he felt as though his heart was about to pound out of his chest.

Big Tiny scooped up Carl who had been blasted off his feet and into the fence, he had an egg-sized lump on the back of his head and a few cuts but other than that he looked fine. Axel was helping Rick get to his feet, he was bleeding from quite a few wounds, but nothing too deep, once Rick was up Axel struggled to get the guy moving, helping him get inside the prison.

Battered bruised but otherwise alive, the group united for the fight trudged back into the prison, which didn't feel as safe as it had done hours prior. They all stood around the room sombrely as Harry lay on the floor, with Daryl trying to stop the flow of the blood that was running in torrents out of him. It became obvious to them all that there was more that met the eye between both of them; they couldn't even muster up the appropriate surprise as exhausted as they were when they saw Daryl kiss Harry on the forehead muttering that he had better survive.

"Daryl I don't think…" Big Tiny couldn't finish the sentence, instead, he swallowed thickly, and it had nothing to do with the glare he was sent, he truly didn't want to see anything happen to Harry. He had saved them, welcomed them, given them a new family each of them (he Oscar and Axel) would die for.

"MOVE!" Luna's voice suddenly sounded through the room, as she shoved by them all, Merle was right behind her dragging Harry's trunk. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" she cursed as she began to raid through his potion supplies, she couldn't care less that they were seeing a glimpse of the magical world, she couldn't care about anything other than saving Harry's life, and there was only one thing that would help right now. She prayed he still had it; she would have swooned in relief if she wasn't more composed when she caught sight of the vial of phoenix tears.

Andrea, Amy and Beth entered the room a few moments after Luna and Merle, carrying the body of Chloe between them, easing her onto the floor, closing her eyes with a sad sigh. Not everyone had survived, and they were gutted, they had just spent the last few minutes clearing debris away from her but she had no pulse, she'd been too close and had been buried alive under the prison. Beth slumped down on the floor next to Carl and Rick, which were near Chloe's dead body.

While Andrea and Amy made their way around to see what was going on only to gasp in horror at the sight in front of them.

"Thank Merlin," she murmured, not unstopping it just yet, instead she moved Daryl's hand, "Look for a blood red vial," it was Merle who moved to do it knowing his brother probably wouldn't move from Harry until he was sure he wouldn't die on him. Luna ripped the t-shirt right down the middle, bearing Harry's blooded chest to chilly air.

"Got it," Merle grunted, showing it to her just to be on the safe side.

"Give half to him, make sure he swallows it," Luna insisted, Harry had lost too much blood and not even the Phoenix tears could bring back the dead if his heart stopped because of the lack of blood to pump around his body.

Daryl took the vial from Merle, opening Harry's mouth and poured half in, rubbing his throat a little more rough than necessary but he didn't care about anything other than getting the damn thing down his throat. His pulse was weak, he'd lost too much blood, he knew what the red vial was, a blood replenishing potion. Swallowing thickly sighing a little in relief when the potion was gone. He watched Luna now, hoping against hope that magic could fix this.

Unstopping the vial, she hovered it over the first bullet wound, letting two drops fall into the open wound, then repeated it with the second, which was lodged in his stomach. Within seconds it began to work, blood lessened around the area, as the bullets began to slowly be extracted by nothing until eventually, they popped out, then the wounds healed completely leaving absolutely nothing in its place as if he hadn't been shot at all.

"Bloody hell!" Amy gasped out wide-eyed, as Harry came to, gasping and coughing. Looking around at the others, wondering if they had seen the same thing as she had.

"Easy, stay still," Daryl muttered, his hand pressing down on his chest.

"Fuck," Harry hissed, he'd wanted to tell them first, but this mess had forced his hand…this show had probably terrified them all beyond reason. He'd wanted to tell them in a way that would have shown a good side, not an explosive bloody dark side to it. Like how the Fidelius Charm would keep them safe, how food could be preserved for a longer length of time. How it would make their lives easier in the long run despite the walkers.

Scoffing internally now they'd probably run for the hills and part of him couldn't blame them.

"You stupid idiot!" Luna muttered, tears in her eyes before she flung herself at Harry, hugging him desperately, she'd almost passed out when Merle came into the room explaining the situation to her. She'd thought he was already dead, but when she heard him talking about getting potions to help her heart could have exploded in relief. She'd Apparated to the cell block and got the trunk before Apparating back not caring about showing magic - she wasn't going to keep it a secret with every second counting between Harry surviving and dying.

Short I know but you all wanted to see what would happen and I hope you're not disappointed with the chapter and how short the battle was. Realistically against a wizard they were always going to end up dead quick...but yeah, something is off to me but it might just be me! So the cat is well and truly out of the bag! Some didn't see it and will only be told! would you like to see some POVS as they think on the battle and what they saw with Harry? or will we just skip over that and onto Harry explaining magic? I've had an idea on how to do it, introduce Tyreese's group...do you want to see them all in it? I think one of them was bitten as they got into the prison though i can't remember her name...I'll need to look it up! :) next I just need an idea for Abe, Eugene and Rosita if you guys look forward to them coming into it :D let me tell you I'd love and dread trying to write Abe's character he's hilarious and the things he came out with! :O hehe I might need help on that front :D anddd yeeehh Daryl's finally came out ;) mawwhah R&R please
