Michone and i were outside on killing the walkers on the field. Carl and Maggie were in the corridor between the fences and calling walkers to them.

Me "Michone?"

She looked at me "Yeah?"

Me "Why did you cut through his eye?"

Michone cracked a grin "I wanted to kill him. "

Me "but why?"

Michone "he's an asshole. "

I shook my head "No, I mean, why didn't you go for the head? Why didn't you cut his head off ? "

Michohne thought about it before grimacing "maybe I shouldve done that "

I nodded "yep. maybe you should've done that"

Michone chuckled.

Me "you planning on staying with us?"

Michone shrugged "I don't know"

Me "You should stay. We need you. And you proved yourself"

Michone raised an eyebrow confused "proved?"

Me "You kept Andrea alive, you helped us getting into Woodbury and Carl told me that you helped him with his stuff"

Michone smiled.

Me " stay"

Michone "well, it's your dad's call "

I scoffed "well, if that son of a bitch Merle is allowed to stay here then I'll make sure that you will too "

she gave me a grateful smile.

Daryl and Glenn put barbed wire on the field.

We were preparing for war.

I heard Daryl yell to us "Come on, Let's go"

Michone and i got in the pick up. Michone drove back up and dad opened the gate. We drove through and he closed the gate.

We got out of the car.

Glenn "they try to drive up to the gate again? maybe some blown tires will stop them"

Dad nodded "That's a good idea"

Daryl "it was Michone's."

Dad froze as Daryl gave him a look.

I raised an eyebrow.

What the hell is going on?

Michone "we don't have to win. We just have to make their way getting to us more trouble than it's worth. "

Dad had this look on his face. Like he was sorry for what he's about to do.

Maggie and Carl walked to us.

Daryl gave dad a quick nod.

Dad "alright, let's go"

Everyone is doing their job. I started to look for dad and walked into the generator room. i saw Merle.

Me "you seen my Dad?"

He shook his head.

Me "Ya looking for Meth?"

He nodded "or something else"

I nodded "Don't feel bothered by me"

Then I turned around but he stopped me.

Merle "sugar doll, "

I turned around "what?"

Merle "You and my lil bro. You're good for him, don't let him fuck this up. "

I nodded "i won't"

This sounded like a goodbye.

Then i walked out and found dad.

Me "Dad!"

He looked at me.

Me "wanna tell me what's going on?"

Dad "we are going to war"

I scoffed "don't bullshit me"

Dad warned "Kendall"

Me "For what did you need Daryl and Hershel for? hm? "

Dad shook his head "nothing"

He began to walk but i blocked him.

Me "Dad. What did really happen between you and the Governor?"

Dad sighed "He wants her"

Me "Michonne?"

He nodded.

I shook my head "And you are really considering it?"

He looked down.

My jaw dropped "oh my god, that's why you needed Daryl and Hershel. To plan things out"

He nodded.

I shook my head "You can't do that. She's done nothing wrong, and you know that."

Dad "it's either her or war"

Me "She's not a bad person, dad. This is not who we are, who you are. Don't do this"

Dad nodded " i know"

Me "i'm begging you, don't do this. Don't give him this power over you"

Dad nodded "i won't"

I smiled proudly him.

He cracked me a smile.

I hugged him.

We were looking around for Merle, gonna tell him that we won't give Michone to the Gouvernor.

I walked back outside and met Dad and Daryl "You found Merle?"

Dad "i can't find Merle or Michone. They're gone. "

Daryl "come on"

We walked into the Generator room.

Daryl "he was in here. Said he was looking for drugs. Said lot of things, actually. "

Dad "like what?"

Daryl "said that you were gonna change your mind. He took her"

Dad breathed out angrily "Damn it! I'm going after him"

Daryl shook his head "you can't track for shit"

Dad "Then the both of us"

I Corrected him "Three of us"

Daryl shook his head "No, just me. I said i'd go and i'll go. Plus, they're gonna come back here. You need to be ready. Your family, too"

He walked out.

I followed him "Daryl "

He turned to me "I'm coming back, Ken, don't worry"

I smiled at him walked to him and kissed him "find him"

He raised and eyebrow at me and nodded.

Then he took off.

.

We were sitting outside on a bench. Beth and Hershel in front of me.Carl next to me. Carol with the baby on the side. Dad came. Then Maggie and Glenn.

I looked at Maggie and saw a ring on her hand. My jaw dropped. She smiled at me.

Dad "When i met with the Governor, he offered me a deal. He said....he said he would leave us alone if i gave him MIchonne. And i was gonna do that....to keep us safe.i changed my mind. But now Merle took Michonne to fulfill the deal and Daryl went to stop him but i don't know if it's too late. I was wrong not to tell you. and i'm sorry. what i said last year, that first night after the farm it can't be like that. it can't. what we do, what we are willing to do,who we are, it's not my call. it can't be. i couldn't sacrifice one of us for the greater good because me are the greater good. We're the reason we're still here, not me. this is life and death.How you live...how you die..it isn't up to me. i'm not your Governor.We choose to go. We choose to stay. We stick together. We vote. We can stay and we can fight or we can go. "

Then he walked away.

I walked outside and saw someone in the watchtower. I walked to it and then upstairs. Daryl sat there with his head in his hands. He was crying. I sat down next to him.

Me "what happened to him?"

I put an arm around his shoulders.

Daryl put his head on my chest and sobbed "they got him. found him eating a guy"

Me "i'm so sorry"

Daryl "killed him"

I looked at him and hugged him tighter "I should've known"

Daryl asked confused "what do you mean?"

Me "he was nice to me earlier. too nice"

Daryl "What did he say?"

Me "that i shouldn't let you fuck us up"

I kissed his hair"I'm so sorry, D."
