The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury, page 30
“Carry on, troops,” the Governor says with an approving nod, before turning and heading for the door. As he slips out of the room, Lilly murmurs something under her breath that no else can hear.
The voice in her head—firing across the synapses in her brain—reaches her lips on barely a whisper, directed at the Governor.
“Soon … when you’re not needed … this will be you.”
She brings the axe down again and again.
