SINCE Rick had been going a little...crazy, and Daryl was gone, the leadership role was then lended over to my brother. He had some chalk in his hand, drawing the layout of the prison. We all stood there watching wondering how we were gonna fix our breaching problem.

"Right. Now you said you found Tyreese's group here?" Glenn asked Carl while pointing at a spot on the makeshift layout he drew on the ground.

"Yeah." Carl answered.

"We secured this." Glenn told him.

"He thought he came through here." Carl informed him pointing at another spot.

"Means there's another breach." Glenn sighed as he ran his hand over his face.

"Okay. The whole front of the prison is unsecure. If walkers just strolled in, then it's gonna be cake for a group of armed men." Glenn said.

"Why are we even so sure he's going to attack? Maybe you scared him off?" Beth suggested.

"We didn't." I stated.

"He had fish tanks full of heads. Walkers and humans. Trophies. He's coming." The woman agreed with me.

"We should hit him now." Glenn said looking at the woman and I.

"What?" Beth questioned.

"He won't be expecting it. We'll sneak back in and put a bullet in his head." Glenn said looking at Beth.

"We're not assassins." Carol told him.

"You know where his apartment is. You and I could end this tonight." Glenn said to the woman.

The woman sighed heavily and looked to the side.

"I'll do it myself." Glenn told her.

She looked back at him and nodded.

"Okay." Glenn said.

"No. Not okay. Your being an idiot." I told him.

"He didn't know you were coming last time and look what happened. You were almost killed. Daryl was captured. And you and Maggie were almost executed." Hershel backed me up.

"You can't stop me." Glenn said walking up to Hershel before I got in between them.

"Like hell I can't." I asserted.

"Rick would never allow this. Your sister won't allow this." Hershel told Glenn.

"You really think he's in any position to make that choice?" Glenn questioned.

"Think this through clearly. T-Dog lost his life here. Lori, too. The men that were here. It isn't worth any more killing. What are we waiting for? If he's really on his way, we should be out of here by now."

"And go where?"

"We lived on the road all winter."

"Back when you had two legs and we didn't have a baby crying for walkers every four hours."

"We can't stay here."

"We can't run."

Maggie then walked out of the room and up the stairs to go back in one of the cells. Glenn watched her go before turning to look at everyone else.

"All right. We'll stay put. We're gonna defend this place. We're making a stand." Glenn asserted before bending back down to look over the layout of the prison.

"Carl, you and I will go down to the tombs. We need to figure out where the breach is." Glenn instructed.

"You got it." Carl responded.

"I'm coming too." I said.

"You'll need some help." The woman said as I turned to her and nodded.

"No, in case anything happens, I need you both out here." Glenn told us.

Then Glenn looked around in realization.

"Who's on watch?" Glenn questioned raising his voice slightly. He scoffed as he heard no answer before he and Carl stood up.

"Damn it." Glenn muttered before he walked out by himself.

Glenn and Carl had went to check the breaches while the woman and I had been keeping watch. We all had our specific tasks. Axel and Carol were putting up this sort of shields that we could get behind.

"So...what's your name?" I asked her, trying to break the ice. She looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"Alright look I'm trying to break the ice here. You seem pretty cool and we can like bond over having swords and being badass." I confessed. She cracked a smile.

"Hey! Looks like I'm getting somewhere you actually smiled. I'll go first." I smiled before I held out my hand.

"Hi, I'm Ara."

"I already know your name Ara."

"Oh come on! Indulge me." I groaned.

Then I heard an engine starting and the gate opening. I turned around to see that it had been Carl that had opened the gate, while my brother had been in the truck leaving the prison. I sighed and ran my hand over my face in frustration. This is getting out of hand.

I saw Hershel walking, well more like limping around to get outside.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" I yelled out to him.

"I'm gonna go talk to Rick!" He told me.

"You want any help?"

"I've got it."

"Alright. Be careful."

I watched as he walked further down by the gate. Rick then came out of his spot in the forest and walked over to Hershel. I watched them closely, and even from here Rick looked tired. I was worried about him, I knew he had been hallucinating and my guess was that he was seeing Lori. I knew he had deep regrets as far as Lori went. I think they were just getting back to talking to each other before she died. I miss the hell out of her. She actually told me once that I was like a daughter to her. I was crying of course and I told her that she had been like a second mom. I loved her and if I can do anything right by her it's to look out for the baby and Carl maybe even Ranger Rick over there.

I was knocked out of my thoughts when I heard a gunshot go off. The woman and I turnt around to see that Oscar had been shot in the head. Then we turned around and looked out the gate to see a truck with two men standing by it with guns. We looked at each other frantically.

"That's the Governor isn't it?" I questioned looking at her. She nodded before we heard a lot more gunshots going off. We took cover behind the truck we were by. Good thing I didn't just have my sword and my daggers. I had a handgun in the waistband of my pants. I shot at the Governor before he started firing back. I quickly hid back behind the truck. The woman had been shooting at the Governor with me, with the rifle in her hand. He continued to shoot at the truck we were behind, missing us.

The gunfire for a second had stopped. Then I heard Maggie yell out Beth. Then the gunfire resumed. The woman and I had shot at the truck trying to catch the Governor off guard, but we only shot and hit the guy who was by him. We all then heard a distant engine roaring, the gunfire stopped again at the sound. We then saw a big truck burst through the gate. Almost knocking the woman and I down as it drove past us. The truck then stopped in the middle of the courtyard and out came several walkers heading toward us.

"Your pretty handy with that thing." I looked at the woman panting gesturing to the sword.

"You are also." She panted back.

"Alright. I've got your back you've got mine, deal?" I questioned. She nodded at me before someone came out of the truck that bursted through the gate. The person started shooting at us before we moved to another side of the truck, taking cover. I moved around and shot at the mystery person before I stood back behind the truck.

"We have to get to Hershel. You ready?" I questioned looking over at her.

She nodded at me before we both got our swords out and ran over to Hershel. We slashed, stabbed, and sliced at walkers while we ran over to get to Hershel. I saw Glenn had driven past us getting over to Hershel as we kept running. I saw Hershel get up and stand with his crutches as Glenn was getting closer to Hershel.

Glenn got out of the car as he and the woman ran over to help Hershel. I made sure to take down some walkers being their cover, so they could get to the car safely. They hurriedly made it to the passengers side and got Hershel in the car as I moved to get in the backseat with the woman. Glenn got back in the drivers seat hurriedly before he made a u-turn and drove us back to the prison.

Carl hurriedly closed the second gate behind us that hadn't been driven through. Maggie then hurriedly went to the passenger's side to help Hershel.

"You okay?" She asked him.

"Yes." He answered before we all got out of the car. We all walked back over to the fence to look for at all the walkers that had crowded the once clear courtyard.

We were gonna have to kill this governor. This isn't just some petty feud anymore.

This is war.

Well well well. The Governor is causing some issues and he's a straight up PSYCHO. But we all already knew that. This group has definitely got some demons to slay. And you know, as Rebekah Mikaelson says, "Kill a demon today, face the devil tomorrow." I'm so excited for the rest of this season. See you guys later. Don't be strangers. I love you guys 3000.
