Love In Hell (D.D.)

1.105 Fire Ahead Of Us. Death Behind Us.

At Hilltop. A couple days later

Alexandria had been run over by Beta. It wasn't save anymore. 

There was no sign of Daryl. 

Kelly and Yumiko weren't mad at me at all. They knew it was an accident. they were pissed at Carol for doing that kind of shit in the first place. 

Suddenly Daryl and Lydia pulled up on the bike. 

Yumiko " Any sign of them? "

Daryl shook his head "We didn't get that far. "

Kelly "What do you mean? What happened? "

Daryl" We gotta talk. "

He had gotten into a fight. He looked like he took a beating. 

Luke " D, I'm sorry. We gotta find our people, man. "

Lydia shook her head "No. You can't go out there. My mother's coming. "

In the mansion. 

Lydia " Even if you took out half the herd in that cave, she's got thousands left. You can't stay here."

Earl " The skins could march straight to Alexandria for all we know. "

Daryl "Yeah, we're right in their way. "

Earl "Maybe she goes around us."

Lydia shook her head " She doesn't need to go around you. She'll just run through you. "

Jerry shook his head " I'm not running again. Hell, no. "

Dianne " Lydia's right. We can rebuild anywhere. "

Earl "Come on. We can't. How many scouting missions you been on, son? Hundreds? Have you ever seen a place like Hilltop? "

Aaron scoffed "No."

Yumiko "We have a few dozen able-bodied fighters here. Maybe. You like those odds?  'Cause I don't. "

Jerry " Neither do I. "

Aaron "Now, we don't have to die here. "

Earl "We're going to have to fight, and if we die, we die fighting for a place that means something. Can you think of a better way to go? "

Aaron nodded "Yeah. We go with my daughter's life intact. And Judith's and Ezra's and Adam's. You want me to keep going? "

Earl looked down. 

Daryl nodded "Alright, let's get the kids out first. Everybody, pack up. We're going to Oceanside. Grab weapons, food... whatever you can. We'll regroup there."

Outside. 

Daryl and i haven't talked at all. 

Damn it. 

Everyone was packing up. 

Judith "Kenny... I wanna fight."

I nodded " I know you do. Don't argue."

Daryl" RJ, come on. "

He helped RJ getting into the carriage. 

Judith hugged me.

Me "Behave, okay? "

Judith nodded, gave me a kiss on the cheek before climbing into the carriage. 

Daryl walked over to his bike and got onto it. 

Judith "Kenny?"

I looked at her "yes?"
