The New World 4

After Sabrina and Daryl had some 'alone' time the two of them headed back into the prison. It wasn't quiet for too long, Tyreese came storming into C block.

"Where's Rick?"

"I don't know. What's wrong?" She asked as she gripped Daryl's hand, signaling for him to find Rick. Daryl went off to find Rick while she tried to calm Tyreese down. "Ty, what's wrong?"

"Something happened to Karen."

"Is she ok?"

Rick, Carol and Daryl came over to Sabrina and Tyreese. "What's going on Tyreese?" Rick asked.

Tyreese hesitated before finally speaking. "I think you should just follow me and see for yourselves."

The four of them looked at each other curiously before following Tyreese. When the gang got to their destination Sabrina had to turn her head so she wouldn't hurl chunks. Daryl rubbed her back comfortingly while he had a blank expression.

"You found them like this?" Rick asked Tyreese.

"I came to see Karen...and I saw the blood on the floor. Then I smelled them. Somebody dragged them out here and set them on fire! They killed them and set them on fire!" Tyreese went to Rick hastily which set Sabrina and Daryl into defensive mode. "You're a cop. You find out who did this and you bring them to me. You understand? You bring 'em to me."

Daryl went went up to Tyreese to try and diffuse the situation. "Hey man, we'll find out who-" Tyreese thrashed out of Daryl's grip.

"I need to say it again?"

"No. No. I know what you're feeling. I've been there. You saw me there. It's dangerous."

"Karen didn't deserve this."

"No."

"David didn't deserve it. Nobody does."

"A'right, man, let's-" Daryl got cut off when Tyreese turned around pushing him up against a barred gate. Sabrina pulled out her gun and narrowed her eyes at the back of Tyreese's head.

"Man, I ain't going nowhere 'til I find out who did this!"

"Tyreese let him go now!" She said cocking the gun and aiming towards Tyreese.

Rick and Carol started to go in to help Daryl but he put his hand up for the three of them to stay back.

"We're on the same side, man."

"Hey, look, I know what you're going through. We've all lost someone. We know what you're going through right now but you've got to calm down."

Rick barely touched Tyreese and he turned around, pushing Rick. "You need to step the hell back!"

"She wouldn't want you being like this."

Wrong words. The next thing that everyone saw was Ty punching Rick. Rick kneeled to the ground and took another blow while Carol yelled stop. Daryl came up behind Ty and secured his arms so he wouldn't throw another punch.

"Tha's enough."

As soon as Rick got up he punched Tyreese square in the face making him fall to the ground. Rick kicked his stomach then let Tyreese have it.

"Daryl do something! They keep this up they're both going to beat each other to death" Sabrina yelled.

Daryl tackled Rick from the back. "Rick. Stop."

"Let go of me!"

"No-" "Let go of me!" "No. No."

Rick pushed Daryl away from him while Sabrina glared at the men. "Enough already. Damn. Rick, let's go get you to Hershel..." She said as she un-cocked the gun and put it back in the holster. "Ya'll need to keep the damn testosterone in check before it gets you killed." She yanked harshly on Rick's arm leading him inside and down to Hershel.

"What happened to you?" Hershel asked once the two of them were in his sight.

"Ask Mr. I'm supposed to be calm, cool and collected here. Sit down."

Rick done what he was told and sat down silently.

"Are you ok Sabrina?" Hershel asked with a hint of concern.

She sighed running her fingers through her hair. "Yeah, I'm fine...just irritable."

"You're not-"

"No Hershel, I'm not." She walked to the door. "I'll be doing damage control." She then walked out the door.

Instead of telling people that everything was going to be ok...which would probably be a lie at this point, she went to hers and Daryl's cell. Sabrina lied down with her arms behind her head thinking, why was this break out happening now? Why did it have to happen? And why was she so irritable? The test said she wasn't pregnant or was it wrong?

"Shorty..."

She looked over at Daryl with a sigh. "I'm fine..." Sabrina scooted over to let him lay down.

Daryl sat on the bed. "I won't be here t'night, got watch duty. Jus' came in ta see if yer ok and tell ya there's a meetin' tamorrow."

She nodded and he leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Ge' some sleep. I love ya." He got up from the bed and went to go do watch duty. Laying there her mind started whirling around again with the same questions. It took a few more minutes before her body went limp and she passed out from exhaustion. The next morning Sabrina woke up to hearing that alarm clock ringing at six in the morning. She sat up just to see Daryl come in.

"Mornin'."

"Morning Daryl."

She got up and got changed. "The meeting still happening in this morning?"

"Yeah. Ya ready?" He asked before kissing her lips softly. She nodded.

Daryl put his hand on the small of her back as the two of them walked to the council room. When the pair walked in they said their mornings to Michonne, Glenn, Hershel and Carol. Sabrina took a seat next to Carol and Daryl took a seat next to Sabrina, everyone was sitting down except for Michonne.

"We saw Sasha outside earlier, she wasn't looking so good." Glenn said.

"It's spread. Everyone who survived the attack in cell block D. Sasha, Caleb, and now others."

"Oh, Jesus." Daryl muttered.

So what do we do?" Carol asked.

"First things first. Cell block A is isolation. We keep the sick people there like we tried with Karen and David."

Sabrina couldn't help but notice Glenn discretely wipe his sweaty face on his shirt. By the looks of Glenn, she could tell he was getting sick.

"Wha' the hell we gonna do 'bout tha'?"

"Ask Rick to look into it. Try to make a timeline-who was where when. But what are we going to do to stop this?"

"There is no stopping it. You get it, you have to go through it."

"But it just kills you?" Michonne piped up.

Hershel turned towards Michonne. "The illness doesn't. The symptoms do. We need antibiotics.

"But we've been to every pharmacy nearby." Sabrina said finally looking at Hershel.

"That veterinary college at West Peachtree Tech, that's one place people may not have thought to raid for medication. The drugs for the animals there are the same we need."

"Tha's fifty miles. Too big a risk b'fore. Ain't now. I'm gonna take a group out. Best not waste any more time."

"I'm in." Michonne said as she pushed herself away from the wall.

"You haven't been exposed. Daryl has. You get in a car with him..."

"He's already given me fleas."

Hershel chuckled. "I can lead the way. I know where everything's kept."

"When we're out there, it's always the same. Sooner or later we run."

"Hershel, Daryl's right." Sabrina said as she got up.

Hershel thought it over for a second. "I can draw you a map. There are other precautions I feel we should take."

"Like what?" Carol asked.

"There's no telling how long it'll be before Daryl and his group return. Wouldn't it make sense for us to separate the most vulnerable? We can use the administration building. Separate office, separate rooms."

"Who is the most vulnerable?" Glenn asked.

"The very young kids." Sabrina said, watching Glenn carefully.

"What about the old?"

"They go in quarantine too." She said.

They all left the council room to do their own thing. She walked along side Daryl. "I want to go with you."

"No. Yer stayin' 'ere. I don't want ya gettin' hurt."

Sabrina stopped walking which made Daryl stop to turn around and look at her. "Daryl, I'm going whether you like it or not. Rick, Hershel, Carol, Maggie, Beth, Carl and Glenn will have everything under control."

He let out a long slightly annoyed sigh. "Fine. Bu' ya need ta stay close." She nodded. "Go pack some of our stuff. I'll be outside gettin' one of the vehicles up 'nd runnin'."

"Alright." She kissed him. "I'll be out in fifteen." She kissed him again before going to the cell block to pack their things.

Sabrina packed things that they needed, clothes, weapons, some food and bottled water. While packing she heard coughing in the cell block. She poked her head out to see Glenn staggering by.

I knew it!

Sabrina walked out of the cell block just in time to see Daryl coming her way. "I thought you were fixing a car?"

"I was. Wanted 'nother recruit. We got Michonne, you and Bob. I went down ta get Tyreese, we'll see if he want ta come along."

She entwined their fingers together as they walked out of the prison and went to the waiting car. Once they were outside they went to Zack's car, Sabrina couldn't help but feel a little sorrow. Zack was young, he didn't need to leave this world. She was brought out of her thoughts when Daryl slammed the hood down.

"Everything look alright?" Came a voice.

She pulled her head out of the back passenger side to see Bob.

"Yeah. Zack kept this thing runnin' pretty good."

"This is Zack's car?"

"Yeah, fastest one we got."

There was silence for a few seconds, Sabrina knitted her eyebrows together in confusion.

"Ya alright?"

"You really want me coming along?"

"Daryl took out a piece of paper. "Wha's tha' word?" He asked going up to Bob.

"Zanamivir."

"Yup, we need ya."

Sabrina turned her head and smiled a little. "Hey Ty."

Daryl turned around. "Wha's up?"

"Still got room for one more?"

"Hell, yeah."

"Good. Just got to get my gear."

"Alright."

Tyreese went off to get his things while the others had to wait for him. Sabrina started drumming her fingers on top of the car while she waited for Tyreese to come back. About ten minutes later he came back, the five of them got into Zack's car and headed out to get the medication. It was silent in the car while Daryl drove, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

Daryl finally broke the silence. "Hey, I know ya weren't runnin' off. The thing is, tha' trail went cold. Ya know tha', right?" Silence. "If it was any different, I'd be righ' out there with ya."

Daryl let a few seconds go by before he started messing with the radio. "Daryl, you know the radio won't work." Sabrina said from the back seat.

"I know, jus' a habit." He looked at his wife through the rearview mirror for a second with a small smile. "Would ya hand me one of them CDs righ' there?"

Sabrina blinked when a voice came over the radio.

"Was that a voice?" Bob asked shocked.

What? But how?

Daryl shushed everyone as the voice repeated what they were saying. "...determined to survive...Keep alive."

Sabrina looked up from the radio and panic spread across her face. "Daryl! Watch out!" She yelled and braced the head rests as Daryl dodged walkers and hit the brakes.

"Oh shit..." She mumbled as she stared out the front windshield, walkers were blocking the whole road and coming to the car.

How the hell do we get out of this?!
