~Aurora's Pov~

It's been a few days, it's been quiet and I'm glad it has been but we've all been on edge, scared something would happen. Dad, Daryl and Hershel went to a meeting with The Governor trying to fix things before it got out of hand. Beth was with Carl, they were taking care of Judith. I was on watch with Oliver. I sighed, "This is boring but I don't want anythin' to happen either." He said as we continued to watch the walkers mindlessly roam the fields. I smiled for a second then wiped the smile away from my face. I looked over to him, "Even when I'm here with you?" I asked. His head shot over to me. "No! No- no. God no. It's never boring with you- I'm never bored when I'm with you. I didn't mean it like that." He said.

I laughed a bit looking away from him, "And you were joking-.." he said scratching the back of his neck. "Why- I mean I know why but why." He said laughing a bit himself, making me laugh a bit more. "I like making you nervous.. It's cute.." I said looking at him with a smile. He opened his mouth but nothing came out for a second. "Oh so you think I'm cute." He said. I pursed my lips a bit and looked away, feeling my cheeks start to grow hot. "Who's the nervous one now?" he asked softly. I licked my lips and swallowed the lump in my throat, "Shut up.." I said adjusting my grip on my gun. "Did I just make Princess Aurora blush?" He asked getting closer to me. I put the gun down, leaning it against the fence, "That's not fair.." I said covering my cheeks with my hands, not wanting him to see. I recalled back to the first day we met at his farm and he said my name reminded him of the Disney princess.

He stepped in front of me and I looked at him, not taking my hands off my cheeks. He smiled at me and put his hands on my wrists, pulling them away from my face. "See, now you remind me of Snow White with red cheeks.." He said with a small laugh, "Leave me alone Olly.." I giggled looking away. "It's cute." he mocked what I said earlier about him. He put his hand on my cheek and made me look at him. "Yeah it's cute.." he said looking at me with a soft smile on his face, I swallowed the lump in my throat realizing how close he was standing to me. It was making me nervous, my heart started to race.

We heard the door open and we pulled away, looking back to see Glenn and Maggie making their way over to us. I looked back at the gun against the fence and ran my hand through my hair, calming down. "Hey," Oliver greeted them once they were close enough to us. "Hey, we're taking over for y'all." Maggie said, I turned around looking at them, giving them a soft smile. "Thanks." I said. "Anything?" Glenn asked looking at both of us. "No, it's been quiet. Nothing looks suspicious." Oliver said looking at me. I looked at him too and nodded a bit, "Yeah." I said looking back at them both. "Alright, go on. We'll see you in a bit." Maggie said looking at us. I nodded and walked by them. Oliver followed me, catching up. I looked over at him hesitantly to see a smile on his face. ".. why're you smiling." I said. He looked over to me. "Because I made you blush." he said and looked over to me after he finished his sentence. "You caught me off guard okay.?" I asked smiling too.

"Mhm," He said looking away from me. "You do look cute when you blush though." He said, not taking his smile away from his face. "Stop!" I said and covered my cheeks and looked away. He laughed again and put his hands on my shoulders, standing behind me. "I know how to make you blush now." He said smiling.

~Later on that same day~

Dad just told us we were going to war with The Governor and his people. I felt scared and confused. I can't believe this was really happening, that we were going to war with these people, it was terrifying. I knew we were outnumbered and outgunned, some of us weren't gonna make it. I know this for a fact.. If this truly does happen and we can't find a way out of this, we weren't all going to make it.

I heard footsteps and I looked over to see my dad making his way over to me. I was outside, sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall in an area that was closed off and surrounded by walls. No one from the outside could see anything in here. He leaned his gun against the wall. "Hi sweetheart." he said looking down at me. "Hi daddy," I said softly, looking up at him. "I was lookin' for you." he said and sat down next to me, he got comfortable and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me into him. I snuggled up next to him and closed my eyes. He reached over with his other hand and rubbed my arm, holding me close to him. He kissed my head and sighed, resting his cheek on the top of my head.

"I don't understand.." I said softly, not opening my eyes. "I know.." he said softly and rubbed my arm a bit with his other hand still around my shoulders. "He has a whole town surrounded by walls.. and he still wants the prison?" I asked opening my eyes, "Why?" I asked, He stopped resting his cheek on my head and looked forward, not letting me go. "He wants to hurt us for what we did at Woodbury. He's angry." he said

I stayed silent for a while, not knowing what to say. "We should go.." I said, speaking the first thing that came to my mind. I looked at him and he looked at me too, "Not fight back.. This is just a place. If we do this we're going to lose people and this place won't mean anything without our people. Our family. There's always another place for us. There's gotta be." I said. He kept looking at me and I kept looking at him too. "I wish it was that easy.. But it's not.. He wants us dead." he said I looked away from him with my eyes. "And he won't stop until he has the prison, Aurora." he said after a small pause. I rested my head against his shoulder again, not knowing what to say.

"We'll figure something out. I promise I'll keep everyone safe. Keep you safe. Carl.. Judith.. All of you." He said looking at the wall in front of us. I turned and hugged him, just wanting to be held by him. He hugged me back. "Do you trust me?" he asked. I nodded. "Yes. Always." I said without hesitation. "Believe me when I tell you we'll find a way to get out of this." He said as he pulled me away, He put his hand on the side of my head. "Alright?" he asked. I nodded, "Okay." I said softly. "Alright, Cmon." he said and stood up, I stood up too and he grabbed his gun, I grabbed my machete and we headed back inside to the rest.
