I couldn't sleep what I said to Daryl just shock me... why had I even said that... was my wolf considering him as a future mate..... I don't know but I was scared that I was going to be in trouble with rick for it...
It was a little after morning when the pack set out to take back the academy it turns out it was an all boys school... when they arrived the watch to see if it was clear of people and then look on..
There were Walkers in the fields they would have to clear out, but most of the building was still standing. At the very least, a few housing complexes was.
"That's a damn shame." Daryl looks it over from the hill.
"We can make it work." Rick said with confidence. "We clear the courtyard first, make camp. If we need to push further, we can. But that's plenty of room for us to live and farm. Let's get the others, see if we can't find a way to get the cars up there from the road."
"Find the tracks." Daryl kicks one of the rails they were walking on.
"I'll follow this down there." Rick nods to the rails, "Go get the others to circle round and try to find them. I'll meet you there." He said and they split up.
Rick gets to the road and manages to push one of the cars blocking the way to the prison off the road by the time the others meet up with him. Rick grabs some bolt cutters and cuts a hole in the fence, getting everyone through and the hole closed with a wire and metal clasps just as a Walker hits it. The Walkers in the prison yard, and on the outside, follow the Pack while they run to the gate.
"It's perfect." Rick says looking out into the yard. "We need to shut the gate to the inner yard, prevent more from filling in. We could have this place by nightfall."
"How do we shut the gate?" Carl asks.
"I'll do it." Glenn volunteers, "You guys cover me." Rick almost purrs at how much the Alpha had grown, even just in the month he'd been Mated.
"You, Maggie, Sam and Danny, draw as many as you can along the fence, pick them off there. Daryl," Rick turns to his brother, "go to the other tower down there and take point. Carol, tasha , Teresa , you two have become good shots. Take your time, we don't have a lot of ammo to waste. I want you two up in this tower. Carl, you and Cj take judith with you.., are in that one up there. I run for the gate. Go."
Everyone splits up and Glenn grabs the fence for cars to go through, waiting for Rick's signal. The Prime makes sure he has another pair of cables with metal clasps with him before nodding for the Alpha to open the gate.
He moves fast, taking out Walkers as he goes. Daryl shoots one that gets to close, and Rick rumbles his thanks even though his bestfriend can't hear him. Carol attempts to help by shooting another one that gets too close to the Alpha only to ends up putting a bullet in the ground between his feet.
"Sorry!" She calls out to him. The others pick off Walkers, making sure each one is a headshot. Rick gets to the fence and kicks one of the Walkers back, closing it and locking it up. He opens the door to the tower inside the yard and shoots a Walker, closing the door before more can get close enough. The Pack waits until he's upstairs before Daryl gives the signal
"Light 'em up!" Soon it's a free for all, everyone shooting anything moving in the yard without worrying it's one of their own. When the last of the Walkers fall, everyone makes their way to gate. Rick waits for Daryl to join them, the other alpha is panting with one hand on his hip from running, before opening it up for the Pack.

"OH!" Carol laughs, "We haven't had this much space since the farm!"
Carl and Cj laugh and run around chasing each other and taking their knives to all the Walkers heads, making sure each one was a kill shot. Rick purrs at the sight of them doing that; as sad as it was that it was a game for them to see how many things they could stab so it didn't come back to hurt them. Glenn finds a Walker trying to get up and kills it, making a fake lunge at cj as he passes. The Omega squeals and runs to over to the alpha's Glenn chuckles and wraps his arm around Maggie's shoulders, purring loudly. Everyone was.
This was a win for them and they need it..
"Let's get our vehicles in and set up camp." Rick calls for their attention, "We need to get all the bodies together and piled up, we'll burn them tomorrow."
Everyone gets to work pulling the cars in and getting their supplies out. Carl takes one for the team and has Daryl show him how to gut and skin the animals they were going to eat that night, so he wouldn't try to help move the bodies.
They have everything set up by dusk and the smell of food has everyone coming together around the firepit. Rick leaves them to it while he walks the fence again; he wanted to make sure they wouldn't be in any danger through the night. Everyone deserves a good night sleep for once. Daryl was on top of the bus, pacing. His cub was kicking up a storm and he needed to do something, so he was guarding the gate. Rick had come by three times by now, doing his walk of the perimeter.
"Let's get a good night sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." Rick tells his Pack, "I know we're all exhausted, but we just have to push a little more. These Walkers are student and teacher and guards, which means their supplies may still be in tack if this place fell early. An infirmary, a commissary."
"An armory?" Daryl asks.
"That would be outside the school itself but not too far. Food, medicine, weapons; this place is a gold mine. We have to go in and get it though." Rick looks at Daryl.
"Then let's get some sleep." The alpha gets up. Carl follows him to his own tent. Rick makes sure everyone was settled before going in and laying down next to them.

Cj watch as the alpha's all went to their own tents ... cj didnt own a tent and rick said he could sleep in Daryls but he prefers the outdoors in wolf form so nothing can sneak up on him...
......
T-Dog, Glenn, Maggie, Cj, Rick and Daryl all go through the gate into the inner courtyard, keeping in a tight circle and killing all the Walkers. The others stay on the fence and kill as many as they can through it. They get the first part clear and when they go to turn the corner, Rick pulls them up against the wall with a curse. A smaller fenced in courtyard was filled with Walkers and open.
A few Walkers come out with riot gear and they have to break to take them out.
"Cuan!" Rick knocks a Walker over and pulls the gate close, the Omega right behind him with the cable and clasps. Once it's on they kill the Walkers in gear, pulling the helmet up enough to reach the brain.
Laughing the only work they have to do now is clear the insides ..
