world's end ━ the walking dead

( ??? ) escaping terminus

"Cross any of these people, you kill them." Rick told his people, disgusted at what he was seeing and what these people stand for, "Don't hesitate.. They won't." He added, knowing that these people needed to be put down so they cannot do this to anyone else, they needed to be taken away from this world, forever. More gunfire echoed in the distance, as well as men shouting, panicked and fearful about the attacks on their sanctuary, yet none of them could feel sympathy for them, especially after seeing this room, and knowing what they do. Heading to the back door, they all looked out of the window of the door, seeing multiple walkers around a train car, probably filled up with even more innocent people, "If we run, we can get by them. They're distracted." He said, already figuring out a way to get to their people and get them out of here.

This didn't exactly sit well with Glenn, though, since he felt like they should let the people who were stuck, unable to get out, and if they didn't get help, they would most likely die; Nate agreed with him in some way, but at the same time, all he truly cared about was getting their people out of here, especially Zoe and Nate. "We got to let those people out. That's still who are, it's got to be." Glenn told Rick, not wanting to loose sight of the kind of people they truly were; they still helped people, they were still good people, no matter what had happened to them.

So they opened the door and headed out into the open, sticking close to one another with their knives and machetes, careful of the walkers around them all, heading towards the train car and killing the walker around it. Nate threw down his machete on a walkers skull, killing it instantly as his brother did the same besides him, when they heard a man shouting within the train car, asking for help once they heard all of the commotion outside of their place in the train car Nate helped yank open the door, when the man inside came sprinting out, looking like he had gone completely mad after being locked inside for so long, it made him wonder just how long all of these people had been locked up for, and wonder what they were going to get if they opened up more doors. Rushing around the corner, the five men looked for their next chance to run through the crowd of walkers, but there were too many to count, and they all couldn't make it without some injury occurring. Glenn didn't look happy at all at what had just happened to that man, being pushed away and bitten by a walker, and Nate didn't even blame him, the whole thing was crazy. Daryl held his hand against Glenn to stop him from doing anything else, knowing that the man was too kind to people they didn't even know.

When Bob suggested that they double back due to the amount of walkers around them, Rick shook his head, "We go back, we don't know where we are." He tried to reason with the others, none of them truly knowing what to do.

"We don't really have a choice, do we?" Daryl pointed out, hearing even more gunshots in the distance.

Nate panicked that they would be caught by the cannibals, the last way he wanted to die, was to be dinner to one of these people, "We gotta figure out something, fast." He said, glancing around nervously.

Walkers dropped dead from their place a few feet away from them, being shot in the head when Rick rushed off towards the gunshots, the others watching in shock and annoyance; Daryl gave Nate a look as to say 'make sure Glenn doesn't do anything stupid', which he nodded at, then watching as he ran off after Rick. A minute and some more gunshots later, Rick and Daryl came back with some more guns, handing one to Bob as Nate readjusted the machete in his hands, ready to make another run for it, ready to get their family back.

Back in the locked train car, Zoe was pacing back and forth, stressing out about the fact that Rick, Nate, Daryl, Glenn and Bob were not back yet, it had been a while and she was scared about what was happening to them. The girl had only just gotten her family back after all of this time apart, she couldn't loose them again, she wouldn't be able to live with herself; the second she felt Nate's hand rip away from hers, panic immediately overwhelmed her, from having nearly lost Nate just a night before, the panic she had been feeling since being reunited with Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Nate and Daryl, had been overwhelming, and she was exhausted. Zoe stopped in her tracks when Maggie stepped in front of her, holding out a makeshift weapon that she had made from a part of the wood on the side of the door to the train car, because Maggie believed that they were going to get out of here alive, she believed that Rick and the others were going to come back to them, no matter what Abraham said about them, and no matter what his friends also thought; they knew their people, and they knew what they could do.
