~Aaliyah's Pov~

We came to another stop and i sptood up. I looked at Maggie and walked over to the front. We can't keep stopping. She's getting worse and we needed to get to the Hilltop. I reached the rest and saw there were more men. 5 cars.. We were outnumbered.

"We making our stand?" Sasha asked looking at Rick. "Yeah, we end it." Carl said looking at them. "No. Not now. They've been waiting, they're ready. With one of us behind the wheel that's... Five on 16." Rick said counting them. "We're gonna play it our way, how we want it." Rick said looking at them. He looked back at Carl. "Right.?" he asked. Carl looked at him and nodded. "Right." He said

"Alright go slow." Rick said. Abraham backed up slowly and one of them walked slowly, shooting his gun. As we were turning he kept shooting up in the air. We took off once again. I put my gun away and walked back to Maggie.

Once again, we came to a stop. But this time it wasn't the Saviors that stopped us. It was Walkers chained up, blocking us from moving. This time i got off knowing i could help with this. "Putting together a red rover like that takes people." Eugene said. As i walked, i saw one of them had two arrows through it. It was Daryl's.. I walked up to it. "Aaliyah." Rick said. I ignored him and took one of the arrows out of the walker.

"They have them.." I said looking at the arrows. "Dad." Carl said. I kept looking at the arrow. "That's Michonne's." Aaron said. "Those are Daryl's said. I looked at it and backed away. "Liyah." Rick said trying to stop me. "No." I said and walked back to the RV with the Arrow in my hand. There were sudden gunshots and i dropped the arrow and pulled out my gun. "Get back to the RV! now!" Rick said. We started shooting at them again.

This happened at Terminus. They weren't shooting at us. They could have easily killed us right there but they didn't. They were shooting at our feet. We took off again.

I was with Aaron once again. Maggie was sweating a lot. I put my hand on her head, She was really hot. "Aaron." i said putting my hand on her cheek too. He came over to me. "She has a fever. It's bad." i said looking at him. He came over and put his hand on her head, He walked out and got Rick. He came inside and i walked out, leaving him with her.

I bit my lip. Carl came to me and pulled me down. I put my head in my hands. He looked at me and put a hand on my back. "They have Daryl." I said and looked at him. I felt tears well up in my eyes. "They have Michonne. And if they have Michonne that means they have Rosita- and Glenn. And i don't know if we're gonna get Maggie there." I said as a tear fell. "No- No. Hey." He said looking at me.

He shook his head and held my hands. "We'll get her there. And if they do have them we'll get them back." He said looking at him. Another tear fell from my eyes and i looked down catching my breath again slightly. He pulled me in for a hug and kissed my cheek. "It's gonna be okay." he said softly.

We came to another stop. I looked back and saw that that the road was blocked off by trees. But they weren't fallen. Someone cut them down. We all got off once again and we saw there there were tire tracks on the floor.

"These tracks, they would indicate that they not only have people but some big ass toys and capability." Eugene said looking at the tracks on the dirt floor. "What this indicates is that we're neck deep up shit creek with our mouths wide open." Abraham said. I looked over to him.

Suddenly there was a scream. We all turned around to see that same man from the beginning being hung with a chain from the bridge above us, He had an orange x on his shirt. My heart skipped a bit and i gasped a little from the sight. I looked at the man in shock. He was beat up. Bloody.

Tears welled up in my eyes. This is truly something that you wouldn't want to see in person. I looked at him scared as he tried getting the chain off of his neck. I hugged Carl not wanting to see it. He held held me too and put a hand on the back of my neck/head. "Don't." I hear Abraham say over the man choking.

These people are cruel. "I can try to break the chain." I hear Aaron say. I looked over a little to see him pointing his sniper rifle at the chain. I buried my face on his shoulder again. "It won't work." Abraham said. "I can try." Aaron said wanting to save the life of this man.

"It won't work. We need the bullets." Rick said. All we heard was this man coughing. Choking. Trying to breathe and the chains moving against each other. Suddenly the noises quieted down and stopped catching his breath. The man was dead.

Suddenly there was heat. Carl pulled me back and let me go. We were all facing the logs blocking the road. They were on fire. "You're treating your people good right? Like it's your last day on earth? Or maybe one of theirs?" The man on the other side of the logs called out. "You might wanna get going. It's gonna get hot" The man said. I looked back at the man that was just dangling from the bridge.

I hated this.. "You go get where you're going." The man said. "Go." Rick repeated. We all got back on the RV and we drove once again, away from them.
