Daryl walked out onto the prison yard and saw Ethan's several men sitting and talking with each other. As he made his way over, the men began to look up at him, squinting at the sunlight in their eyes.

"What's up man?" one man said.

"It's Ethan. Saw him run into the tombs a little while ago. Hadn't come out yet. Thought I'd get ya'll to come with me to check it out." Daryl said calmly.

"Why ya need our help?"

"There's walkers down there. Could be to many for him to handle. If he couldn't handle 'em, what makes you think I could?" Daryl said while silently scolding himself for making himself sound weak.

"Guess ya got a point there."

All the men got up and followed Daryl into the prison, when Daryl saw the rest of his group walking around, he knew everything was gonna be ok. They were strong. They had been through so much, and he knew they'd make it through this. Daryl and the men walked into the tombs and they were all on guard, not knowing what was waiting for them around the corner. When they made it to Ethan's body, there was a walker already devouring him.

"Shit.." one man said.

They killed the walker and started to look at Ethan's body. Daryl began making his way over to the closet Rick and Glenn were in to start getting these guys out, when he got there he knocked on the door and Rick and Glenn came out, guns up. Ethan's men were taken off guard and pulled their guns up as well.

"Daryl, why are you over there with them? You're with us!"

"Nah, these are my people and y'all messed with the wrong people." Daryl said with his shotgun pointed at the mans chest.

"Come on man, things don't gotta end this way. We'll leave and we ain't gonna come back."

"You know that's not true." Rick said.

"Please, we-"

"Shut up you idiot! We ain't leavin' with our tails tucked between our ass!" One man yelled.

"Why don't you all shut up, and put your guns down. Now." Rick stated.

"Nah, he ain't gonna do shit." Said one man as he began to point his gun at Rick, but he was too slow.

Rick shot him right between his eyes and the rest of the men began to start shooting at Rick, Glenn, and Daryl. A few of the men were taken down and Daryl and the rest were doing great, until about five walkers stumble towards them, distracting them for a few seconds. Long enough for Ethan's men to get a shot in and Daryl felt it hit him in his leg. It was such excruciating pain, that he couldn't stand. As he was trying to regain himself, a walker fell onto him. Daryl tried fighting it off, but every time he would move his legs would scream in pain. As he was about to call out to Rick, he heard a shot and felt someone pull the walker off of him. He looked up and saw Carol pulling the walker off to the side and Michonne, Carl, and Maggie behind her with their weapons raised.

"Carol, what are you doing down here?" Daryl said.

"We couldn't sit back and do nothing. Are you okay?" Carol asked.

"I'm fine." Daryl said trying to get up, ignoring the pain from the bullet wound.

Michonne, Rick, and the others quickly got rid of the rest of Ethan's men and everyone was ok. Maggie and Glenn embraced each other along with Rick and Carl, while Carol was helping Daryl stand up.

"Daryl, let's get you up to Hershel." Rick said walking towards Daryl helping Carol walk back to Hershel's cell.

"I'm fine, I don't need no help." Daryl said trying to shrug off Rick's arm.

Rick sighed and looked at Carol who just smiled and turned back to Daryl, helping him walk to Hershel and the others. Rick looked to Michonne, who just shook her head and grinned at Daryl's stubbornness.
