Chp 8: RUN
(Long chapter... Sorry but its soooooo gooood)
Michonne's P.O.V
Jay and I had guard this morning, while Rick stayed home with Carl and Judith.
Carl had offered to take my shift so many times but I wanted to work guard for once in a while.
"this is really boring yo.." Jay said
"I know but it's something we have to do, to protect the others."
he nodded at my statement, "you right, you right."
there was a brief moment of silence between us before I broke the silence,
"So, what did you want to be when you're older?"
"I don't really know, maybe a rapper or something."
"Oh really? you can rap?" I laughed
"Yeah. lemme spit a verse real quick.." he rubbed his hands together and began grinning like a fool, "We out here learning how to thrive, barely able to survive, how did it get this far, Rick is the biggest czar, been working hard to fit in, Carl my ride or die through thick and thin, Hey my name is Jay and I'm constantly reminiscing of all the memories i'm missing but im convincin that we gone fix it." he said
He was so into his rap, nodding his head to every word and and moving his hand like he was a DJ.
I'm not even gonna lie, Jay's rap was meaningful and movin and I liked it.
"that was--- not too shabby." I laughed
"Thanks yo, means a lot." he smiled at me and I smiled back
"I'll be seventeen soon." he said
"when?"
"Next Thursday.. it will be my 2nd birthday without my dad here." he murmured
"I'm sorry, Jay.."
I truly was. I know what it's like to age without your family but luckily I have Rick and Carl and Judith and Carol and Daryl and everyone else..
"You have us." I said
"You right, you right and I am grateful." he said
we grinned at each other which soon turned into a full on laugh for no reason.
we laughed until we heard car engines at the gate.
Jay and I sat up, alerted by several cars there.
The first car was all black and it was the first to park at the gates.
Jay and I aimed our guns at the people in the cars and I took charge, "who are you and what do you want?"
A tall, slender man stepped out the car, with a pistol in his hand and a knife on his waist.
"we'll ask the questions," he yelled "what do you have for us?"
"a bullet that'll go through your skull!" Jay yelled
"very funny, little boy.. wanna know what we have?"
he looked around at the other 3 cars with the other men hanging half out.
"we have a Morgan and and three RPG's ready to blow down your precious little wall if you don't compromise." he said
as much as I wanted to tell him to blow Morgan away, Morgan was one of us and we couldn't risk him.
"who are you and what do you want?" I yelled
the man threw his arms up and laughed, "we want everything you have darlin'. "
"Who are you?" I asked once more
"Your worst nightmare. " He said
Jay scooted closer to me, close enough to whisper,
"The Saviors. We have to risk Morgan, they gone blow us up anyway." Jay whispered
I lowered my gun, realizing it wouldn't do any good.
This is the end.
"Michonne, when I say run, run, okay? Run to Rick and Carl and tell them to run." He whispered
"I'm not leaving you Jay.."
He sighed and put down his gun. "Just go."
Jay stood up, and aimed his gun at the man again.
"Jaden! How the heck are ya?" the man asked, raising his gun.
Jay stood his his ground and didn't flinch.
"I was ite, now I'm feeling rebellious." Jay said, cocking his gun back.
"Well that's great, why'd you leave us? You were gonna go far..?" the man went on and on and my eyes were on Jay the whole time.
Jay squinted his eyes throught the gun's aim and I knew what was going to happen next.
"Jay, don't!"
"RUN." he said
Jay tightened his finger around the trigger and that's when everything slowed down.
He pulled the trigger and the bullet slowly traveled through the air and through the mans head.
The man dropped dead and I heard all the guns cock back.
Jay just stood there, unsure of what he had just done.
I tried to push him down in time but the men fired their guns so quickly it had already caught Jay in the shoulder.
Everything around me went back to normal speed when I saw Jay fall.
I ducked and threw him over my shoulder and ran down the stairs.
Denise. Denise. Denise. Just get to Denise.
I ran down the sidewalk with Jay across my shoulder as everyone came out their houses from the gunshots.
"Run!!" I yelled to every alexandrian.
As soon as I reached Denise's house, she and Tara were already out of the house and for some reason Sasha was running out too.
"Grab your EMT bag we have to go!" I yelled
But it was too late, I heard a loud roar and looked back and there was the wall falling to pieces from the RPG explosive. My ear drums blowed and my vision began to lag.
This is the end.

Rick's P.O.V
I sat with Carl and Judith on the couch, playing a game of Chess with him.
Carl has always beaten me at chess but recently I've gotten better.
I focused on the back row of my pieces and shut out all the sound.
"Dad?"
"Dad!" Carl yelled
He had to slap me before he got my attention.
"do you hear that?" he exclaimed
I listened closely to the outside, I heard lots of gunshots and then one big boom.
I ran to the window and saw a big fire and lots of cars coming into Alexandria shooting at every house and every person in sight.
"Carl take Judith, go to the car pool, start one up, we have to go!" I yelled
"What? What's going on?" Carl yelled
we were only yelling to hear each other over the explosives, "Carl just go, we have to go now!"
"No we can't leave Michonne and Jay!"
I was getting very impatient with him so I pushed him on, "go! I'll look for them."
Carl looked at me with his worried eyes and ran out the back door with Judith.
I'm coming Michonne...

Michonne's P.O.V
Denise, Tara, Sasha and I ran with the other Alexandrians, down the sidewalk toward the woods. I was a bit slower than them since I had Jay on my back, but that didn't stop me.
As we ran, I heard a car come up behind us.
Tara, running in front of me, turned around and began shooting her gun at the car.
I didn't have time to look back until I reached the woods and when we did, we all looked back... and Tara wasn't with us.
Denise just stood there tearing up, staring at the now burnt up Alexandria. "She didn't make it.." Denise whispered
Sasha hugged her and they both cried. I wanted to too, I lost Rick and Carl and Judith but we have to keep going.
"guys we have to keep going." I said
Sasha let go of Denise and leaned against a tree, she held he head down and grabbed her stomach and puked her guts out.
I helped her hold her hair up with my free hand, "Sasha are you okay?" I asked
"No!" she snapped "I'm not. I want Abraham here, I need him here."
"If we keep going and get shelter I swear we will go look for him tomorrow. Now, please compromise. WE have to save Jay before it's too late."
She sighed and wiped her tears, "let's just go."
Denise stood ahead of us, leaning on a tree, still crying but joined us as soon as we took off.

Rick's P.O.V
I hopped in the car and Carl drove off, I didn't find Michonne or Jay and I just wanted to cry.
I leaned back in the seat an covered my face with my hands as Carl sobbed quietly while he drove.
"You didn't see them? at all?" he asked
"I'm sorry." I sobbed
Judith laid in the back, peacefully sleeping, unaware that we just lost the only mother figure she would have growing up in this world. I could already feel the sharp pains and the headache coming on just thinking about the whole town being blown up.. how did this happen? how did we lose everyone in less that 3 minutes?
"They're okay.." Carl assured "They're okay because we're okay and they can handle themselves just as well as we can...do you believe that, dad?"
I wiped my eyes and looked at Carl, "yes."
