ELLIE WAS BACK on her feet within a day. Daryl tried his damndest to keep her in bed for a little while longer, but Ellie was determined to run around the prison again, helping people.
AJ was happy to see her, practically knocking her over in a hug when she found him. He was so excited for her to be outside again, pulling her along with him as he reintroduced her around the place.
"Hey, Ellie! Good to see you're moving." Carl jogged over to her, the girl smiled and pulled him into a hug when he was close enough.
"Thank you, Carl." She mumbled, the boy awkwardly patting her back before folding into the embrace.
When they pulled away Ellie smiled again. "Hey, you're wearing your hat."
"Yeah, through it was about time to bring it back out." The Grimes boy flicked the brim. "So, why're you outside? Shouldn't you be resting?"
"No, I'm not good at bed rest. I'd rather be out here and-" Ellie cut off her words as she and Carl ducked against each other, covering their heads as the tower they stood under exploded.
When the rubble settled, both kids shared a confused and worried glance.
"What was that?" Carl asked rhetorically to which Ellie just shrugged.
The two kids ran to the front of the courtyard, the others meeting them with confusion written across their faces.
"Get back!" Rick warned, peering through the fence at the army of cars in front of them.
"Dad." Ellie and AJ rushed to Daryl's side. "What's going on?"
"Rick! Come down here." The familiar voice of the Governor was their answer. "We need to talk."
"It's not up to me!" Rick yelled back. "There's a council now, they run this place."
"Is Hershel on the council?" The Governor asked rhetorically. He motioned to one of his people who drug the captured man from a car.
Maggie and Beth shuffled closer together, the eldest sister's hand covering her mouth in shock.
"What about Michonne? She on the council, too?" Another one of Governor's men yanked the woman out of the same car.
The others glanced around, Ellie keeping a firm grip on AJ, pressing him against her legs securely.
"I don't make decisions anymore." The Grimes man tried to reason.
