The Dead World

Seventeen ~ Prisoners

"We'll go in two by two, Daryl will run point with T and I'll bring up the rear with Phoebe" Rick orders slightly "Stay tight hold formation no matter how close the walkers get, anyone breaks rank we could all go down, anyone runs off they could get mistaken for a walker end up with an axe to the head"

"That's where you aim, these things only go down with a head shot" Daryl adds hand gripping his crossbow threateningly.

"You ain't gotta tell us how to take down a man" Tomas snarks looking at Andrew like he'd told some amazing joke.

"They ain't men, they're something else" Tdog walked up joining her where she stood and she nodded with his statement.

"Just remember go for the brain" Phoebe could tell her brother was losing his patience with the small group, he started walking to the halls but Phoebe took quick note of who had what weapon.

Tomas would be the biggest threat as he had an axe as well as his gun which Phoebe still didn't know if it had bullets but she guessed it did.

Next would be Big tiny mainly given his size, he had a crow bar and if he got enough force behind it that's all he'd need.

Oscar had another axe while both Axel and Andrew had bats so those two were pretty low down on her list.

In the halls they were following Daryls directions "Man, it's too dang dark in here" She heard one of the guys say but it was too quiet for her to know which one. Phoebe notices that Axel kept turning round nervously, he had also taken to hugging his weapon instead so she nods at him reassuringly when he makes eye contact with her trying to make him feel better mainly so he didn't get them killed.

On the way the prisoners were all anxious, tense and she couldn't help but feel amused, so much for tough guys.

"It's coming!" Axel shouts and they all shush him and watch as two walkers slowly walked round the cornor Daryl started to slowly count them down but the second he got to two they ran at the walkers with a roar.

Her group just sat back and watched as they were doing everything they told them not to, they were kicking, punching aiming for the torso areas but after a while it was just painful to watch so she groans and walked up to the one Big Tiny had pinned to him she shove the other two out the way and stabbed it in the head ripping her knife out immediately and took a step back.

Big Tiny let it fall to the floor when it went limp in his arms, they all looked shocked causing her to roll her eyes and head towards the other one.

"Phoebe wait" Rick says so she stepped back but they don't learn as all five of them crowd round the last walker so Rick sighed nodding towards her and Phoebe without moving a step just throws her knife towards the walker.

They all freeze when her knife hit it in the centre of its forehead and the walker stops moving, she walked forward slowly pulling her knife out she  crouched down to wipe the blood off on it's clothes.

"It's gotta be the head! Not the stomach, not the heart...The brain" she states to them as she stood back up to carry on walking.

"Gotta be the brain!" Daryl warns swiftly killing another walker along the way.

"I hear you. The brain" Axel says and Oscar runs forward hitting another walker in the brain killing it

"Like that?" He looks at her for confirmation she smile nodding Axel then kills another looking at her to make sure she's seen it, Phoebe offers him a nod in approval.

She killed a walker with her knife as her brother stabbed another "Stay in tight formation no more of that prison riot crap" he warns and she snorts in amusment "Phoebe cover our back, don't want any creeping up of us like last time"
