You rode on your house and galloped down the trail. You were with Michonne, who was riding along with you on her horse.

It's been over five months since the Governor's army attacked the prison. You haven't run into them since.

The two of you were finished with your trip. You joined Michonne on trying to track down the Governor. Once again, he was nowhere to be found.

The two of you neared the gates of the prison, where you saw Rick using the pulley system to open up the gate for you. You and Michonne galloped in, and Carl shut the fences.

You dismounted the horse, and Michonne followed suit. Rick and Carl jogged towards the both of you.

Rick: We're glad to see you both.

Michonne: Glad to see you, too.

Michonne looked at Carl.

Michonne: Somebody hit the jackpot.

Michonne looked at you, giving you the signal to bring out the items from the bag. You handed Carl a stack of comics Michonne found while on your run.

Carl: No way. Awesome! Thank you.

Michonne: I get to read 'em when you're done.

You: Uh, hello? I called dibs first.

Michonne smirked as she continued to take things out of her bag.

Michonne: I also found this.

Michonne handed some clippers to Rick.

Michonne: Your face is losing the war.

You laugh at her joke. Moments later, you see Daryl riding up in his motorcycle, beginning to lead a caravan out.

Daryl: Well, look who's back.

You: Didn't find him.

You were talking about the Governor.

Daryl nods.

Daryl: Glad to see you both in one piece.

Daryl tells you that he's going to check out The Big Spot. Rick says he's going outside the fence to check out the snare traps. Michonne decides to go with Daryl's group.

You: Need any extra hands?

Daryl: Nah, we're over capacity as it is.

He began to rev up his engine.

Daryl: Just stay and relax, check up on your girl. She's probably been dying to see you.

He smirks at that last statement.

You nod, as Daryl drives off. The caravan follows.

••

You walk onto the courtyard, seeing the prison inhabitants walking around and conversing. Some are eating and sharing stories.

You admire the garden as you walk by it, and see a couple kids shooting baskets into the one hoop.

"Hello, Y/N."

"Howdy there, Y/N."

"Good afternoon, Mr. L/N."

Many of the people there respected you. You were part of the council along with Hershel, Daryl, Glenn, Carol, Sasha, and Clementine. People knew of the effort you put into making the prison a thriving community.

Carol: Hey, Y/N. Glad to see you back.

You run into Carol.

You: Glad I'm still in one piece.....are you off to story time?

Carol took time to read to most of the kids in the library.

Carol: I actually am.

You: Cool. Hey, have you seen Clem?

???: Somebody summoned me?

Carol smiled as she looked behind you.

Carol: Looks like she found you.

You turn around, and see Clementine. You smile.

The both of you meet, and kiss each other. It's only been a few hours since you left, but you've longed for this.

You and Clementine have been together for about three months. Now that you finally felt safe behind the walls of the prison, you felt comfortable having a relationship with her. Clementine felt the same. There was no more running. Now you just had to continue living.

You remember that one day when you officially became an item with Clementine. It didn't come as a surprise to your friends, though. They felt as if it should've happened since the camp in Atlanta.

Rick and Daryl continued to tease the both of you for the weeks after that, Carl was a handful too. But, you both just lived with it. It's what family and friends do, right?

Clementine: How was the trip?

You: Still couldn't find a trace of the Governor. That means he's still out there.

Clementine: He's long gone if you ask me. Probably dead. It's been almost six months, Y/N.

You nod.

You: Michonne and I will probably go on one more trip next week. After that, we call it off.

Clementine: Sounds like a good idea.

You: How's Judith?

Clementine: Being angel, like always.

Clementine and Beth were the main caretakers of Judith for these last several months.

You: Can I go see her?

Clementine: Of course. If she's not sleeping.

You smile, and walk with Clementine to the cell block.

The day was going great so far, and people were continuing to thrive.

••

The next morning, you were with Rick and Carl feeding the pigs in the yard.

You: Ain't this one Violet? The one you named?

Carl: Yeah. He's sick, though.

You: Poor girl.

Rick started pouring food for the pigs.

Rick: You know, worms will give them some extra protein.

You continued to give food to the pigs, then suddenly, the three of you heard distant gunfire coming from the prison.

Rick: Stay close.

Maggie came out from the guard tower.

Maggie: Cell block?

Rick: Don't know!

He turns to Carl.

Rick: Carl, go into the tower with Maggie. Y/N, follow me.

You begin to run with Rick towards the courtyard.

Glenn: Walkers in D!

You: What about C?

Sasha came out with Daryl and Tyreese.

Sasha: Clear. We locked the gates to the tombs. Hershel's on guard.

Daryl: It ain't a breach.

You all start running to the cell blocks.

••

BLAM!

You run in and see a man shooting at walkers with a shotgun.

Rick takes it from him and commands him to go. He then hands it to another person running out.

Rick: Go! Go!

You unsheathe your knife and run up to a walker who is biting into a man's leg.

SULK!

Another walker is nearby, you kill it as well.

SULK!

A walker starts stumbling behind you.

THWICK!

Daryl shoots it with his crossbow.

You: Move up! Check the cells upstairs!

You run up the stairs, following Glenn. He looks into one cell, and a walker pops and grabs him.

SULK!

You stab into his head, saving Glenn. You help him up.

Glenn: Thanks.

You, Rick, Glenn, and Daryl look into the cell. You see Patrick, one of Carl's friends.

Daryl: My god, it's Patrick.

You back up and look over the railing, surveying the bottom floor. You see the bodies of the walkers you killed and of fallen prison inhabitants.

You: That's all of them.

The four of you wonder what had happened. How did walkers attack the cell block?
