Chapter Text
After driving around all morning. The group had finally arrived at Alexandria. Since the gates could be seen from the distance. The Governor started to have brief flashes of Woodbury. When he saw the walls and the gates of Alexandria. He couldn't believe that Aaron was right about this place
However, the Governor had quickly picked up that no one was guarding the gates and walls. That should always be the main priority for any group. Always have someone on guard for Walkers and humans
"Here we are" Aaron announced
The Governor parked his car by the gate. With, Tim, doing the same. They got out of their cars and walked over to the gates. The group waited for Mitch to stop and climb out of his tank
Eric tilted his head to Aaron " What's Deanna gonna say about that?" referring to Mitch's tank
" I don't know " Aaron shrugs and looks at Eric " Who knows but it might be handy"
Eric nodded and looked at the tank " Is that even going to fit in? Where are we going to put it? There's no room at the moment" he remarked
" Good point" Aaron looked at Eric " Will talk it over with Deanna"
Mitch walked over to the group and smirked " Damn. Now this is good protection and hey" he looks over at Dawn and the Governor " First, camp that didn't go up in flames on us" he joked
" Yeah. Third times the charm" Dawn half smiled
Mitch smirked " You said it" he looked back at the walls and seeing how long they are
Aaron moved over to the gate and banged on it lightly ":Nicholas. You there?" It's Aaron. We have new arrivals" he waits for a response
" Just a minute" Nicholas replied on the other end of the gate
Within seconds, Nicholas opens the gates of Alexandria. Observing, the Governor, Dawn and the rest of their group as they walked on in. His eyes that catch, Mitch's tank
Mitch smirked as he noticed Nicholas's reaction to his tank "Yep. She's a thing of beauty. Isn't she" he then walked past Nicholas. Since Mitch was the last person to enter and hears the gates close behind him
The group takes in the stunning sight of Alexandria. Seeing the beautiful houses, a church, courtyard and a small river
" This isn't Woodbury but it's pretty damn close" The Governor said quietly. It still bothered him that no one was actually on the walls and guarding but for now. He would leave it
Aaron turned around, facing the group and smiled " Now all of you will need to meet with our leader, Deanna. But first, I think we should start with you" he pointed straight at the Governor
The Governor nodded
Dawn was amazed of how great, Alexandria was and believed that this could very well be her new home. She smiled but soon as she smiled.
The sooner it disappeared. From the corner of her eye. Dawn had caught someone leaving the house and meeting up with two people. She didn't care for the others but the man in the middle had caught her interest. Dawn decided to move over in the man's direction a little
" Dawn, where are you going?" The Governor watched Dawn but then his focus was also cut to the three people. He knew,exactly. Who the three people are
The Governor was shocked, beyond belief. It was as if he had seen the ghost of Christmas past. It had been months and months.Since he last saw them. The Governor thought back to the carnage at the prison.
Neither did, The Governor or Dawn had expected to see, Rick Grimes again
It didn't take long for Rick and the people that were with him. Glenn and Michonne to spot, the Governor. They couldn't believe it. Their old enemy, who caused so much damaged to them back when they were at the prison. Had now appeared again.
The last time they had encountered, the Governor. Was months ago when he and his Woodbury army. Attacked the prison but were forced to retreat. When they were ready for, the Governor's attack. That and discovering that, the Governor had killed his people for retreating and then just simply vanished
That was then and this is now. Only this time, the Governor was with a new group. Feelings of resentment and hatred still laid within, Rick and the others
Rick, kept his gaze on both Dawn and the Governor. While, Glenn and Michonne just stared at the Governor and also getting a look at the others
Aaron noticed the interaction between, the Governor, Dawn, Rick, Glenn and Michonne " Well I guess you people know Rick then"
No one else had uttered a word. It was as if time had stopped. Rick looked past his old enemy and looked at Dawn. Which gave a clear indication that he knew her
The Governor looked past Rick and glared at Michonne. It may have been months and the fact that he wasn't out for revenge anymore. However, he still hated her for what he did to him and for killing Penny. Which the Governor wanted to do. When he was ready
Now that, the Governor and Dawn have arrived at Alexandria. With their group and come face to face with Rick and some of his friends.
The only question remains is.... What are they going to do?
