"Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here?" The former sheriff asked the two females. They didn't answer. "He can treat you, then you're on your own." He said, pointing at Hershel.

"But you need us." The dark skinned woman spoke up. Rick turned around to meet her gaze.

"Why is that?"

"Your people," The younger girl started, looking over at the shopping baskets full of what the non-biological siblings had dropped. "They were taken." Everyone gave the girl a look, asking who had taken them.

"By the same son of a bitch who shot me." The woman said, grabbing the side of her leg, that was now stitched up, courtesy of Hershel Greene. "A young Asian man, a pretty girl, and a very young blonde. I know where he took them." People stiffened, knowing exactly who this woman was talking about. They started devising a plan to get their people back.

โƒโƒโƒ

"Jack? Is in your older brother, Jack?" Glenn asked. Elle stayed silent, just looking at the boy in front of her. He looked her up and down, covered in blood and bruises. The girl's eyes started filling up with tears as she stood there. They finally embraced eachother in a hug. The first hug they had in a year. Elle wrapped her arms around her brother's torso and buried her head into his chest.

"Cody? And-and Paul?" She asked, pulling away.

"Cody, Cody he's okay. We don't know where Paul went. He went on a run and never came back, but knowing him, he's somewhere. Alive." He smiled. "We have to get out of here." The three nodded and started to make their way out when they heard talking. Merle and the guards. "Stay here. I'm gonna hide." Jack ordered. Before anyone could respond, he ran out, closing the door behind him. They lied against the wall, as if they've been there the whole night.

They waited, they waited for the door to swing open. And it did. It swung open rather quickly, but they were storming in. They were pulled from their resting places and forced on their knees as their arms were tied behind their backs. Maggie started to cry again.

"Hey, just look at me. Look at me." Glenn tried calming her down.

"I love you." She said as a bag was put over her head. Then Glenn's head was covered. And last, but certainly not least, Elle was blinded by a bag identical to the ones placed on her friends. She could feel herself get lifted and shoved to start walking. As she could feel herself leaving the room, there was a metal like sound. Like someone dropped an empty can on the ground. But it wasn't an ordinary metal can, because metal cans don't explode like this one. The blast sent the teenager into a coughing fit, other people were coughing as well. Elle was grabbed again, and she tried fighting back.

The bag was removed from her head to reveal Daryl Dixon. He cut the ropes, freeing her arms. There was Rick, Daryl, Oscar, and an unknown woman. Elle and the couple followed their group. They were sneaking through the streets and crept into a building. They made sure it was clear. It looked like a pantry.

"Merle did this." Glenn said, signaling both his and Elle's blood and bruises.

"My brother? He's this Governor?" Daryl asked, shocked the son of a bitch was alive.

"He's his lieutenant or something." Maggie answered.

"I'm sorry, Rick. We tood him where the prison was. We couldn't hold out." Glenn apologized.

"No need to be sorry." Rick assured.

"Where's that woman who was with you?" Elle piped up as she was handed a machine gun. Rick looked around.

"She's on her own now." He said. "We have to get out of here."

"Well if my brother is here," Daryl started.

"Daryl. You're not thinking straight. We need you. I need you." Rick said, placing a hand on the man's shoulder. Daryl nodded.

"My brothers are here too." Elle stood up, leaning against a shelf for support.

"What?"

"My- my older brothers. Jack and Cody, they're here." She said, her voice cracking.

"Our priority is getting out of here. If we run into them while leaving, they can come with." Rick reasoned. Elle bit her lip, but nodded. She didn't want to risk leaving her brothers behind. Now, she knows they're alive. She doesn't have to hope. But there's a chance they won't be able to come with her. She loves her brothers, and they love her, which is why she might need to leave them behind. For their safety. There was a noise at the door. Everyone hid, someone knew they were in there. The door slowly opened, ringing the little bell that hung over it.

"I know you're in here! I could see your shadow through the window. It's past curfew, nobody's allowed in here." The man announced. Rick was quick to come out from the corner he was hiding in and put a gag in the man's mouth, making his noises muffled. The man's arms were then tied behind his back and he was left behind as the group filed their way out of the building. They all had weapons up and were ready to use them. Of course, there were people firing at them. They fired back. People were yelling and crying of fear.

I'm to lazy to write the entire scene, so fast foward to when they actually get out ;)

"Give me your hand!" Oscar yelled for the girl. She reached her right arm up as the man helped her get over the wall. The wall had some height to it, so when she got over, Rick was there to catch her. A bullet was fired and went through Oscar's chest. He grabbed his chest in pain before falling. Maggie cried for him and tried putting pressure to the wound.

"Maggie!" Glenn yelled for his lover. She shot Oscar in the head, ending his suffering and life, making sure he wouldn't come back. She got over the wall and they hit behind a bus lying on it's side until the gunfire was silenced. As they waiting, a nearby bush was rustling. Everyone, paranoid, aimed their weapons only to see it was the dark skinned woman, better known as Michonne. She was bloody and bruised more than before.

"Where the hell were you?" Rick asked, taking her katana. Elle had to admit, it was pretty fucking awesome. She didn't respond, but instead looked at everyone.

"Where are the reat of your people?" She asked. Elle looked around.

"Daryl." She said. Daryl had been taken, but nobody noticed because of all the action.

After a lot of arguing, it was decided who was to give back in the walls and save Daryl. Rick and Maggie would go back in, Michonne needed to get Elle and Glenn to the truck they have a few miles away.

"Let me come with." Elle begged Rick. He shook his head. "My brothers are in there. I'm not leaving them. I refuse to." She stood her ground. Knowing that Elle was as stubborn as a mule, he agreed. She picked up her gun and looked back at Glenn. He nodded to her, she gave him a small smile as a sign that she'll be just fine. She then turned to Rick and Maggie.

-----------------

"Do you hear that?" Maggie asked. They crept around the corner to see the towns people putting the Dixon brothers against eachother in a fight till the death. Elle looked at the roaring crowd and even spotted younger kids as well as a few her age. But her eyes also landed on her two brothers.

"There." She pointed. Rick looked around the corner to see the two boys who obviously were not liking the situation they were witnessing. They had horrified looks on their faces. Elle turned away from the boys when she heard the sound of another metal can. When the trio realized that Daryl and Merle were no longer fighting against eachother, but instead together, Rick threw the can in the middle of the crowd, blinding everyone. They did have to fire their guns, causing another shoot out. Rick ran up and grabbed Daryl and Merle, Elle searched for her brothers.

"Jack?! Cody?!" She yelled over the people's screams.

"Elle!" Jack's voice responded. She followed the sound of his voice to see her older brothers. "I told you, she's here." Jack told Cody. Cody went for a hug, but was quickly stopped.

"We don't have time." The girl said. She made sure the boys were following her as she held her semi automatic up, finger on the trigger. She realized, her brothers had never seen her like this. Pushing the thought to the back of her head for later, she found her group and followed them outside the walls.

"Wait, where are we going?" Cody asked.

"Prison.." Elle mumbled. They ran into the woods and ran until they were sure enough they weren't being followed. While they were running, Elle's legs only hurt more and more. She kept pushing though, she had to. But her knees didn't like that and they gave out. She hit the forest floor, making a thud sound. Cody pulled her off the ground and threw her arm over his shoulder and she limped by his side.

By the time they got to the truck, the sun had just risin. Glenn walked over and hugged Maggie and Elle. "What the hell is he doing here?" Glenn said, realizing Merle was with them. He pulled a gun and Michonne pulled out her sword.

"Put it down." Rick told her.

"He tried to kill me." She said, keeping the sword raised. Elle's head started throbbing, giving her a bad headache. All the arguing wasn't helping. She leaned against the car so she could stand up and did her best to block out everyone's voices. She could hear the pounding of her head in her ears. It was so loud, yet nobody else could hear it. Then Merle's annoying voice kept talking, making it all worse. Elle, frustrated, grabbed her gun and walked over to the man. She used the butt of it and smacked him across the face, knocking him out. His body fell to the ground. She spit on him.

"Jackass." She muttered. Once Rick git everyone to settle down, he started explaining the next step.

"You, you're not staying." Rick said to Michonne. The woman showed no reaction.

"She's in no shape to be on her own. At least let my dad fix her up." Maggie asked, sympathetically.

"Fine. Hershel fixes you up, then you are gone." Rick said, emphasizing the word 'gone'.

"You can trust her." Jack spoke up. "I always knew there was something wrong with that place, only she wasn't afraid to speak up." Michonne looked over at the boy.

"Why the hell are you two here?" She asked. They pointed at Elle. She scanned the three and realized they were siblings. After more and more arguing, they agreed to let Michonne come back with them. As for Merle, they still refused.

"Do you really want him coming back with us? Sleeping in the same room with Beth? Elle?" Glenn asked.

"He ain't a rapist." Daryl argued.

"No, but his friend is." Glenn was quick to say. Maggie shifted uncomfortably at the comment.

"Your brothers get to come back." Daryl pointed and the blonde.

"Did they beat you up in front of someone you cared about? Did they bring you to someone who traumatized someone else you cared about? Did they almost kill you and your BESTFRIEND, BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T TELL THEM WHERE YOUR FAMILY WAS? I DIDN'T THINK SO!" She yelled. Merle was now standing against the tree, awake.

"Still feisty." He commented. Elle went to hit him again, but Rick pulled her back. All the yelling she just did made her head hurt even worse, because somehow, that was possible. Now, her head wasn't only throbbing, it burned.

"Her head's bleeding again." Maggie said. Elle brought her hand up to her head and felt the blood running down her face. It was bleeding a lot.

"Should it be bleeding this much?" Elle asked, she sounded like she was put of breath. Her vision started blurring and she knew what was about to happen, so she tried to warn them. "Going down." She said as her body started tipping. Just as she felt her body land softly in someone's arms, she blacked out.

โ€โ€โ€

The drive back to the prison was quiet. Nobody had anything to say now that Daryl had gone off with Merle. Daryl said if Merle wasn't allowed at the prison, then he would just go with him. They tried to plead with Daryl, but he's a stubborn man, and wouldn't change his mind. Apparently, Michonne knows Andrea, she spent the whole winter with her before they wound up at that town called 'Woodbury'. Elle was still asleep, Glenn applying slight pressure to the bleeding wound. When they arrived at the gates, Carol and a girl were there to open it up for them.

The girl looked maybe a few months younger than Carl and Elle. She had brown hair that reached down her back, and brown eyes to match. Maggie, Glenn, Jack and Cody didn't recognize the girl, and Elle was still unconscious. Rick slowly drove up the rock path before stopping the car. Maggie was the first one out as she ran to her sister and father, who happily embraced her in a hug. Rick made his way over to Carol, trying to explain where her bestfriend ran off to. Michonne just kept her distance. Glenn got out and walked over to join the Greene family. Carl came running out, hoping to greet his friend, but noticed a tall boy who had the same hair as Elle, carrying her.

"What happened?" He asked the strange boy. "Who are you?" "Why are you carrying her?" "Will she be okay?"

"Kid, I don't have time for questions." Jack shrugged the teenage boy off. He stared as another blonde boy followed them inside. Rick told everyone to go inside. Everyone listened.

He wanted to explain who Jack and Cody were. He wanted explain what happened in Woodbury, what happened with Daryl, and how we were gonna handle this. But, he instead was greeted by a group of four people. They go by the names of Sasha, Tyreese, Ben, and Allen, and they were looking for a place to stay. Rick was considering it, but was caught off guard by a hallucination.

โ€โ€โ€

I woke up to see the bottom of a bed. I didn't open my eyes all the way, just because I didn't want to. Without moving my head, I looked around to see as much as I could. My eyes landed on a girl in the corner, reading a book. She had long brown hair, and her brown eyes moving left to right as she read the pages. I realized I didn't know the girl.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you sitting with me?" I asked. She looked up, and I opened my eyes completely. Her brown eyes met my blue ones.

"She's awake." She yelled. That made my ears ring.

"Aye, that was a bit loud." I complained. I was then greeted by Hershel only a second later. He helped me sit up on the bed, letting me view the group that stood outside the cell, staring. "Staring is rude." I said.

"And she's back with the attitude." Cody said. I rolled my eyes as Hershel changed the bandage on my nose.

"I know about your head and nose, but did you hurt anything else?" He asked. I shook my head, even though it wasn't true. Glenn and Maggie both shot me a look, knowing I fell down those concrete stairs. I rolled my eyes once more before pulling my flannel and shirt off my shoulder, to reveal a bruise on my right shoulder. "What happened there?" He asked.

"I fell down concrete stairs because I was blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back." I said with a sarcastic smirk. When Hershel was done doing whatever he was doing, he left me to catch up with some people. Cody and Jack hugged me at the same time.

"We'll catch up later?" Jack asked. I nodded. I still can't believe I found them. That was the only good thing to come out of my kidnapping. Glenn then came in.

"Glad you're okay." He said.

"I'm glad you're okay. You took a pretty bad beating." I said looking into his eyes. He nodded.

"We're all okay." He paused. "You know, we've gotten pretty close since Atlanta." I nodded. "I feel comfortable telling you that-" Glenn said, but was cut off.

"Elle?" Carl's voice said. He appeared quickly in the doorway to my cell. "Oh, sorry." He said, realizing Glenn was talking to me. Glenn stood up.

"No, it's okay. I'll talk to you later?" Glenn asked. I nodded. He looked at Carl on his way out then winked at me. I scoffed, knowing what he was getting at. Carl attacked me in a hug. I let out a laugh.

"I wasn't gone for too long." I joked pushing him off of me, feeling my face get a tiny bit red.

"I know, but when Michonne and that girl, Sky, told us what happened, I got worried." He explained. So that girl's name was Sky. "She seems pretty cool." He shrugged. I shrugged it off as well. "What happened in Woodbury?" He asked.

"We were kidnapped and hurt, I thought that was obvious." I said laying back down, staring at the bed above me.

"I doubt that was all."

"Glenn and I were duct taped to chairs and Merle threw a walker at us." I said. "We got free, killed the walker, and they brought Maggie to us. We then used the walkers bones as weapons and stabbed two men's throats, then we had bags put over our heads knowing we were about to be executed. But your dad came just in time. Then we got into a gun fight, lost Oscar when we made it out. Realized Daryl wasn't with us, went back in, got Daryl and Merle, and my brothers, shot some more people, got out. Then we walked a few miles to the car, where Glenn and Michonne were waiting and Daryl tried convincing Rick to let our almost killer come stay with us." I said. I looked over at him.

"That's what happened in Woodbury."
