Chapter 14: Betrayal

SPIKE'S P.O.V

We went to speak to the Dazzlings in the barn.

"What are your plans?" Twilight asked.

"For now, stay. We aren't planning anything as of now. We left for a reason, Twilight. She's doing... things... unspeakable things." Sonata said in fear.

"What things?" Daryl asked.

"As in... making people want to stay. Men, women... Any children were abandoned or killed." Aria said for Sonata.

"Jesus... How 'bout animals?" Rick asked.

"Killed and eaten." Aria said to him.

Wow...

"We need to prepare for war. Tell Mayor Mare to get the defenses up and running. Eric, Daryl, Aaron, I need you to search for survivors on Earth and bring them here. Glenn, Noah, Tara, Eugine, Flim, Flam, I want you to lead supply runs. Especially the one to Manehattan for micro-inverters. Sasha, I want you to keep watch from the clock tower, Rosita, I want you to work along-side Nurse Redheart in the hospital. Abraham, I want you to join the construction crew tomorrow." Twilight ordered.

"And if we find anything unusual?" Daryl asked.

"Report it back to me." Twilight awnsered.

"Alright. How about my son?" Rick asked.

"You said he used to be a farmer?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah." Carl asked.

"We could always use an extra hand." Applejack offered.

"I don't see why not. As long as I get gun practice." Carl said.

"Alright. So will everyone, every day 3:00 P.M. Remember that." Twilight said.

"I could always help with Applejack also. I grew up doing this, I can show Carl and you." Hershel said.

"Well, feel welcome." Applejack said to him.

"Well, we can work with that." Rick said.

"Also, I want you and Michonne to be our constables. Along with Shining. Anyone I missed?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah. Us." Sunset and Flash stepped up.

"You two along with Maggie are going to help me run things." Twilight ordered.

"Okay." Maggie said heroically.

DARYL'S P.O.V

Me and Aaron were packing up when he and Eric had a... moment.

"It's like a damn romance novel." I commented.

"Well, time to do our jobs." Aaron said as he hopped in the R.V and drived down the dirt roads.

We arrived at a barn with a light shining inside of it.

"Let's take a look." I said as we hopped out.

"Someone needs to stay here." Aaron said.

"I'll stay." Eric said.

"Be safe." Aaron said.

"You too." Eric said as he climbed to the roof and got his rifle,

Me and Aaron walked in to see a bloodbath of limbs and a sign saying

LET'S HAVE A BATTLE!

"What the hell?" I muttered as I walked closer to the sign to see if it was wet.

"Well?" Aaron asked.

"Wet. This happened recently." I told him as a Walker entered the room with a 'W' carved on its head.

"That a W?" I asked as I put it down.

"Yeah... Seems like marking their territory." Aaron concluded.

"But why?" I asked as I pulled out my arrow.

"Maybe to warn us."

We kept searching and found a hand bow long with a backpack.

"What do we do?" Aaron asked.

I was interrupted by a gun hammer clicking.

"Drop your weapons." I heard a young voice say.

I dropped my crossbow and turned around to see a 15 year old kid along with at least 5 other survivors.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Dewy. This is Paul, Gregory, Ezekiel, Holly, and Deanna. We're the Resistance."


2 YEARS AGO

DEWY'S P.O.V

"We should be safe here." I told my brother and sister.

I turned around for them to be staring at something in the distance.

"What is it? A herd?" I asked.

Instead of answering, they just walked out the door and into the streets. I ran after them to see a girl with a form of afro along with 10 men behind her.

"Hello. I'm Adagio. This is Negan." She said.

"Ron. This is Enid and Dewy."

What's going on?

"Well, glad to see other survivors. Do you have a camp?" I asked them.

"Yeah. Only these two can go." Adagio pointed at Ron and Enid.

"Whoa, whoa. We're not leaving Dewy." Ron said.

"Well too bad. I see potential in you two..." Adagio said with a venomous tone.

Perfect bait.

"... I don't know Ron. Maybe we should go. I mean, who else is out there?" Enid asked.

"I'm not leaving him." Ron said sternly.

I felt as curiosity flooded my mind.

"This life isn't right for you. You know you belong out here and so do we. Join us." Adagio said carelessly.

I looked at Ron. Ron looked at me. I knew he wanted to join. I just knew...

"... I'm sorry." Ron said as he gave me his pistol, clips, and holster.

"Excellent! You two will be our guests of honor tonight..." I heard Adagio say as I walked away in shame.
