     Negan raised his eyes over the book he’d been reading between his bites of lunch. Watching his guard with interest for a brief, silent few moments. He’d gotten used to being watched like a zoo animal (he was a lion, if he could say so himself), but being used to something didn’t mean it left him without being on edge. He was waiting for the day one of them puffed out their chest and opened the door with the intention of finishing the job or at least teaching him a lesson.

                                    “You’re staring pretty hard there.                                                    Want a bite?”

Being assigned horse duty for the day felt like Maggie was playing a cruel joke on him. These horses knew her, not him. Even after a year and a half at the Hilltop, he hadn’t been around the horses enough for them to really know him. He tried to tame them, get them used to being ridden by strangers in Hilltop. He wished someone else had been given this job. Only an hour ago, the kids of the Hilltop were laughing at him as he hung upside down from a saddle, the horse trotting in circles. Some people in their community had to rescue him. (They got his foot unstuck and let him fall to the dirt.) Maggie was well aware of the incident, but Alden still had twenty minutes left with the horses. “It’s not a good time,” He says, walking up to the person who’d just approached him. “This horse has a vendetta against me and I’m stuck with it for the next twenty minutes. If I make it that long.”

Alicia had decided to come along with a few people from the Kingdom, to help out building the bridge. She wanted to feel useful and like she was helping her community and the people. She had no doubt that it was something her mother would’ve done, she would be the first one in line to help. So as morning came, Alicia got dressed and managed to get herself a cup of coffee. She headed towards the bridge and approached the people that were working there. “Hey there, early morning I see.” She smiled slightly. “Coffee?”

enid was only new to being a medic in the scheme of things. it’d been a little over a year of training now and enid had only just gotten to the point of being confident to be alone when she’d had to cut aaron’s arm off. aaron was someone enid saw as a friend. a best friend, almost. and having to be the one who did it had shown her how to step up. still, she’d been keeping to herself since, a little changed by the whole experience. when someone came to her to stitch up a wound, she sat in front of them silently, doing her job, until she realised she was being spoken to. “i’m sorry, what?”

Liz sat on the porch of the house she was sharing with a few other new Alexandria residents, cigarette burning between her fingers as she watched people walk up and down the street. Her eyes scanned their faces and her senses where on high alert, still not completely sold on the promise of safety. “What the fuck is there to do ‘round here?” She wondered out loud before taking a drag.

rick was aware of the dangers and risks that working on the bridge brought but he also knew how important getting the bridge built was to them. how crucial it was in the plan of bringing the communities and everyone together. he didn’t lie. he made sure everyone who set foot on that bridge was aware of the risks but they were happy to do it just like rick was. he’d been close by when the bridge dropped, he hadn’t seen it happen but word had gotten back to him fast. rick knew he’d have to step in quickly before fear and panic spread further than it had done already. “this is what’s gonna’ happen. i already have teams in boats looking for our missin’ people. everyone else who is able - i need you with me by the water searchin’ and those who can’t? that’s okay, there’s still things you can do. we need blankets and fires goin’ for when we get them out. i know this is hard but what we need right now is to pull together.” rick grimes was known for his speeches but he wasn’t sure how much good this one would do, from the looks of things panic had already set in but he did his best as he addressed the people who had circled around him.

It was a shame his talents were put to waste during his brief time as Negan’s husband. Fenris was not by any means shy when it came down to partnerships, so when it boiled down to what he could put down on the line for his sons--he proved himself what he could do in more ways than one. Were they proud moments that he would share with his sons? Absolutely not. None of it would matter when he would be reunited with them. He just hoped they were utilizing the survival techniques and mechanisms he taught them. 

The man was a veteran. A hell of a shot with a rifle. Negan was a fool to waste his talents by putting him on the sidelines. With the man now in a cell and Sanctuary turning to shit, Fenris took to doing things on his own most of the time. For now, he was trekking to Alexandria hoping for a decent meal. His rifle was slung over his shoulder, close to him with silencer placed on it in case he was in a bind. Luckily, he made it there without needing to put up too much of a fight. When addressed, he looked up wearily and shrugged.

“I’m not in the mood for a confrontation. I just want something to eat.”

     Being busy with helping around in the Kingdom, Henry rarely had time to himself to do things he enjoyed. Sure, he loved gardening and training. But, a few moments to his thoughts happened to be his favorite thing. It was a rare treat that he decided he was going to snatch for himself today. 

     Sneaking out of the Kingdom was an easy thing to do. He could take care of himself, after all. And, he was doing a fine job of it. Taking out a few walkers a mile or two out from the Kingdom and thinking of hitting up the small water hole to do some fishing. Until he heard some rustling that couldn’t have been a walker. Just someone who wanted to be caught, it seemed.

     “You’re interrupting me, you know?” he asked without looking at them. Just whacking the last walker in the head to knock it over, toying with it instead of trying to actually put it down.
