Karma's a bitch {Daryl Dixon}

51 || Missing

We walk back into the church. Sasha marches up to Gabriel.

"Stop. What are you doing?" Sasha asks

He doesn't respond

"What are you doing." She repeats. "This is all connected. You show up, we're being watched, and now three of us are gone."

"I... I don't... I don't have anything to do with this."

Sasha pulls out a knife.

"Wait."Gabriel pleads

"Don't!" Rosita shouts

"Sasha, put it away."

I rush up and grab her arm gently. Telling her to stop.

"Who's out there?" She asks

"I-I don't have anything to do with this."

"Where are our people?"

"I don't have anything-" Gabriel defends

"Where are our people?!" She shouts

I pull her away from Gabriel. Rick steps up.

"Why'd you bring us here?" Rick asks him "you working with someone?"

"I'm alone. I'm alone. I was always alone." Gabriel says holding his hands up, trying to reason with us.

"What about that woman back at the food bank, Gabriel? What did you do to her? 'You'll burn for this.' That was for you. Why? What are you gonna burn for, Gabriel?" Rick runs up and grabs Gabriel by the collar

"What? What did you do? What did you do?!"

I quietly pull out my knife. Getting ready for things to get messy.

"I lock the doors at night." He says ashamed. "I always lock the doors at night. They started coming, my congregation. Atlanta was bombed the night before and they were scared. They were- they were looking for a safe place, place where they felt safe. And it was so early. It was so early. And the doors were still locked." He says starting to cry

"You see... it was my choice. There were so many of them and they were trying to pry the shutters and banging on the siders, screaming at me. And so the dead came for them. Women... children. Entire family's calling my name as they were ripped apart, begging me for mercy. Damning me to hell. I buried their bones. I buried it all. The lord sent you here to finally punish me."

Gabriel drops to the ground, crying

"I'm damned. I was damned before. I always locked the doors. I always lock the doors." He says

I put my knife away, along with Sasha. Then I hear faint steps outside the doors. I start growling. Everyone looks over at me

A small whistle is heard.

Glenn goes to the window to check what's making me growl.

"There's something- there's someone outside lying in the grass."

I unsheathe my katana as Sasha goes for the door. We all rush to see what it is.

It's Bob.

He only has one leg.

Walkers start flooding the area. I swing my katana around, making sure they stay away from the group.

I hope Daryl is ok.

I hope Carol is ok.

Just before I kill a walker, someone shoots it dead.

"Get inside!" Rick yells

I stay outside until everyone is in.

"Rick go!" I yell to him.

I fire my gun into the woods. Just before I go inside, I see the smallest of movement in the woods. They were following us. They were watching us.
