19. Nowhere To Go

"Guess it's just us." Tobin said.

"Actually..."

"Yeah yeah? I got this. Go on." Tobin said. I put down my hammer and walked over to Rick, seeing that he was with both Deanna and Tara.

"Alexandra." Deanna said, as I approached.

"Deanna." I smiled.

"I'll see you later." Tara said to us.

"Thank you again, Tara." Deanna said. "Thank you, too, Alexandra. Saving my son."

"Alex- and you're welcome."

"Now, I'm thanking you." She smiled at me then to Rick.

"What Spencer did was stupid." Rick said.

"He's right." I said.

"I can't argue that." She said. "At least he tried."

"Not the point. I could have tried. There was a chance." Rick said.

"How's that?"

"When the walkers we're going for him, it made a gap. I could have jumped down, made it out. I could have got in a car- used it to lead the walkers away. I could have done that and Spencer would be dead." Rick said.

"But you didn't." Me and Deanna both said.

"Why?" Deanna asked.

"I helped save him because he's your son."

"Wrong answer." She smirked, leaving Rick without an answer.

"Rick?" I said. "Balloons..."

"What does it mean?" Deanna asked.

"It could be them, couldn't it? Rick, it could be them." I shook Rick's arm, feeling hopeful and excited that it could be Daryl and them all together and back.

"Alex!" I saw Maggie running towards the other platform we had built for watching over the walls. I smiled at her, knowing that she probably knew too and had hope.

"That's Glenn. That's Glenn." She said, stopping behind us.

"Yeah-"

Suddenly, wood started to crack. We all turned our heads, to watch the bell tower collapse right before or eyes, in seconds, right into the walls of Alexandria. As soon as the wall collapsed, we fell down on to the grass.

"Everyone! Get back! Go!" Rick yelled. I took out my knife and went to help him. "Get into your houses! Go!"

I killed a walker that was about to get Rick in the shoulder. Rick turned around and gave me a look.

"Not leaving you. I can't lose more people." I said. Rick nodded and began shooting more people.

"Deanna!"

"Deanna, get back." Rick yelled.

"Rick! We need to get back! Alex!" She yelled.

A couple a seconds later, I watched Deanna fall with some walkers. I ran over to her and helped her up, not realizing that she's been hurt by a piece of metal in her side.

"Rick!"

"Good! You're safe." Rick said, as we saw Michonne, Carl and Father Gabriel and Jesse's son, come running our way with their weapons in hand.

"Come on!" I yelled. "Fuck! Where the fuck- what do we do now?!" Walkers began to circle us.

"Come on! I have Judith!" We saw Jesse shooting the walkers that had been in front of us, then leading us into her house.

Daryl's *POV*

"Who do you think it was?" Sasha asked, talking about the walkie talkie and the voice that asked for help not so long ago.

"Don't know." Abraham said.

"Definitely someone back at Alexandria." I mumbled. Thinking about Alexandria, I thought about how we were so close to being back there and how close I was to be with Alex again.

God I missed her.

"Daryl.."

"Yeah, I see." I answered Sasha, as we saw a whole group of guys and weapons on bikes in the middle of the road.

"What in the holy shit?" Abraham said.

I stopped driving, and we all stared at the guys. "Why don't ya come on out, join us on the road? You wanna resist, try something- I mean, its a choice, I guess." The guy in the front spoke. "But we will end your asses, split you right in two, straight through to the sinuses. So.. Come on!" He waved.

I turned the engine off, and we all jumped out of the truck carefully.

"That's great! It's going right out of the gate. Now, step two- hand over your weapons."

"Fuck no." I mumbled to myself. Already lost my bike, gun and crossbow- not losing anything else. "Why should we?" I asked the guy.

"Well, they're not yours."

"What...?" Abraham asked.

"See... your weapons, your truck, the fuel in your truck, if you got mints in your glove compartment, if you got porn underneath the seats, change in the seats, hell the seats themselves, the floor mats, your maps, the little stash of emergency napkins you got there in the console," he waved his hand around. "None of those things are yours anymore."

"Whose are they?" Sasha asked, staring him down. I couldn't take my eyes off the dude either, making sure he wouldn't pull out a weapon.

"Your property..." He said, walking forward.

This doesn't sound good at all.

"...Now belongs to Negan."

A/N:
Hope you all LOVED TWD's episode tonight!! If you haven't watched yet or anything, make sure you watch it! BEST EPISODE EVER!!

Sorry for the little skips in her POV, I did not want to add in her POV when she was in the house wth Rick, Carl, Michonne etc. from hiding from the walkers. I wanted to go straight into Daryl's POV and the ending of that episode and then go to the ending where they left off with Rick and them, disguising themselves as "walkers" and leaving the house, that way I can get to writing for the next update!

Don't forget to vote and please comment! Love you allllll!
Thanks xo
