MAKNAE [twd] *editing*

The few days following felt as though they flew by as we worked diligently on packing supplies and setting up reinforcements around the walls in case of walkers getting near. Natania said we needed to make sure Oceanside was secure while we were gone so there was a safe place to return to and it was nice to shoe the women that I could work just as I'd told them.

Then, the move itself came as we packed ourselves into the cars and bus that we'd found. There was a lot of people and even more supplies, it wasn't easy to find transportation that would fit everyone and everything.

The ride back felt like it took forever, but we eventually made it to the Hilltop gates..

Only to find the place empty.

As Natania, Jae, Taeyang, Bea, and I got out to investigate inside and the others kept watch outside, we trailed through the empty Hilltop.

I rushed to the trailers- finding ours was empty for the most part as well. The infirmary was empty, the big house was empty..

I ran to the graves, stopping at Glenn's and looking around.

"Hana," Taeyang calls, pointing to Glenn's grave, "Hershel's watch."

Hershel's watch was gone from Glenn's header, Maggie must've taken it with her wherever they went.

"Your people?" Natania asks, looking to the graves.

"My brother," I answer, kneeling by his grave.

Under one of the rocks was a paper. Carefully, I pick up the rock and look to the white sheet.

'Dwight joined our side. He has a plan, we have to fight now. Come to Alexandria if we're not here. Children, elders, and patients are in the cellar hiding and won't come out until Jesus lets them know, leave them be and come to Alexandria. -Maggie'

"Alexandria," I hurry, "They're in Alexandria."

"Alexandria? The other place?" Bea asks.

"Yes and we have to go now," I urge, handing Taeyang the letter as we break into a run back to the cars.

"Dwight?" he asks, running along, "The guy from the radio?"

"How many Dwights are there now?"

"Still.. What he did.." Taeyang mutters, pulling the gates closed.

Abraham.. Would Sasha and Rosita be able to handle this plan? What the hell did we miss?

--

On the road to Alexandria, the gunfire was heard before we saw the gates.

"Everyone load your weapons now! Kids and elders stay in the cars and hide in the burnt buildings outside the gates, do not leave until it's over!" I call, loading my gun and grabbing my bat.

"Everyone do as she says!" Natania shouts.

"That means you, too," I warn her.

"Cyndie could be in there-"

"And I will find her and she will be safe," I cut her off, "These people need their leader. You have to stay out and keep them calm and be here when this is over."

Tires skid to a stop as we get to Alexandria, finding the gates open and surrounded by Saviors' vehicles.

"Move in!" Bean calls, loading her large gun.

Everyone piles out of the cars, the children being rushed into the burnt building that were just outside the gates as we rush into the gates. There, the gunfire settles, leaving me confused.
