MAKNAE [twd]

【28】

The sun was up and bright when I finally woke up- finding that I was still in Glenn and Maggie's cell with Maggie nowhere in sight.

I rub my eyes, sitting on the edge of the bed before standing up, slipping my shoes on and walking out of the cell.

"Hey there, Sleeping Beauty," Carol smiles from where she was holding Judith.

"What time is it?" I ask, though there were obviously no specifics.

"After noon. You missed breakfast and lunch, but Hershel packed you a meal whenever you get hungry."

I smile a bit at Hershel's care, nodding to Carol, "Thank you."

When I begin down the stairs, she calls out, "Hana!"

"Yeah?" I ask, looking back to her.

"Since you slept in so much, you kind of missed something," she purses her lips.

"Missed something?" I repeat, "What?"

She looks down the stairs to the other room, a nervous look on her face, "We have a visitor."

I shake my head, not understanding her implications. She sighs, readjusting Judith in her arms.

"Andrea is here."

Rick tried to stop me by calling my name as I ran outside to where Michonne and Andrea were.

As I spot Michonne walking away, I also see Andrea's back as her shoulders shook.

"Andrea?" I ask timidly.

She turns, face crinkling in awe as her eyes land on me.

"Oh, Hana," she cries, rushing over and swooping me into a hug.

"You got out," I sigh in relief, "They said you were stuck in that place."

Andrea stiffens a bit and I can feel her head shake, "I wasn't stuck anywhere, Hana.."

I pull away enough to look up at her, "Michonne said-"

"No.. No, Woodbury is.." she sighs, "I'm there because I want to be. No one is forcing me to stay there."

I take a full step away from her, suddenly uncomfortable as though I were speaking to the enemy.

"It's dangerous there. The Governor.. What he did.." I shake my head.

Between Glenn and Maggie's capture (some of which can be shared blame with Merle), Axel's death, the fences being tore down, walkers in the yard, and the constant fear of uncertainty that surrounded us- it was all enough evidence to prove a thousand times over that the Governor wasn't a good man by any means.

"That's why I'm here to visit. To talk this all out and come to an understanding-"

"Visit?" I repeat, "You're not staying?"

"No," she denies, "I'm here to try and talk sense into everyone."

A jolt of anger hits my chest as I tilt my head up to her, "if you want to talk sense into anyone, it should be the Governor. He's the one that nearly killed Glenn, Maggie, and Michonne. He's the one that put those walkers outside our home, he's the one that killed our friend Axel.. He's the one doing all of this, not us."

"Hana, look-"

"He started this. You can't blame us for getting our family back and defending ourselves," I frown.

"Hana!" Glenn calls, bursting out of the door.

As he spots Andrea and I talking, his face grows dim with a hint of a glare.
