You sat in the RV at the table with T-Dog beside you. You were cleaning and wrapping his arm up. He had cut himself pretty bad. "There that should do for now. Hopefully we can find some antibiotics in one of these cars." You told him. "Thanks." He said walking back outside. You walked out shortly after him. Walking over to Daryl you said "I hope she's alright and that Rick got to her in time." Just has he was going to reply Rick came up the hill. "She's not back?" He asked Carol started crying liking at Rick and saying "How could you have left her? She a child!" After seeing Sophia wasn't back Rick, Daryl, Glenn and Shane went back out into the woods where Rick had left her to see if they could find her.
"I'm sure they'll find her Carol. Rick would never just leave without her." You told her. She just kept looking out into the woods not saying a word. You seen Shane and Glenn walking back towards you. "Rick and Daryl are still out there searching. they have her trail." Shane said. "In the mean time while we wait for them to get back let's gather up as much as we can and try moving some of these cars out of the way."
You were helping move a truck out of the way so it would be easier to drive the RV through when Carol came up to Shane. "Why aren't we all out there looking? Why are we moving cars?" "We need to make room so the RV can get through." You told her.
"Now that we have fuel we can double back to a bypass that Glenn flagged on the map." Shane said "Going back's going to be easier than trying to get through this mess." You said looking at the traffic jam in front of you. "We're not going anywhere till my daughter gets back." Carol said "Hey, that goes without saying." Lori told her. "Yeah, Rick and Daryl, they're on it, okay?" You said putting your hand on her shoulder. "Just a matter of time." Shane said "Can't be soon enough for me. I'm still freaked out from that herd that passed us by, or whatever you'd call it." Andrea said "Yeah, what was that? All of them just marching along like that." You asked you were still freaked out by it too. "A herd. That sounds about right." Shane said.
It was getting dark and you were starting to worry a little. Rick and Daryl still weren't back. What if something happened? What if one of them got bit? What if that heard found them and tore them apart? You couldn't help all the bad thoughts going through your head. You were just about to tell Shane that you should go out looking for them when you seen Daryl and Rick walking up the hill. You took a breath and on a rash decision ran over and threw yourself at Daryl wrapping your arms around his neck.
Daryl stiffened when you throw your arms around him not understand what was going on. He jyst stood there and waited until you were done. "I'm sorry" you said when you realized he wasn't hugging you back and you turned around and walked away embarrassed. You must have been wrong about Daryl liking you like that. You held back tears as you walked up into the RV. Daryl felt bad after he heard how small your voice was he didn't mean to stiffen up he wanted to hug you back but he didn't know how to deal with these kinds of things.
The next day everyone was gearing up to go out and look for Sophia. Except for Dale and T-dog they were going to stay behind with the RV. "Everybody takes a weapon." Shane says and of course Andrea not liking it just had to open her mouth "These aren't the kind of weapons we need. What about the guns?" "We've been over that. Daryl, Rick, Y/N and I are carrying. We can't have people popping off rounds every time a tree rustles." Shane tells her "It's not the trees I'm worried about." After that you had had enough "Say somebody fires at the wrong moment, a herd happens to be passing by. See, then it's game over for all of us. So you need to get over it." You tell her.
"The idea is to take the creek up about five miles, turn around and come back down the other side. Chances are she'll be by the creek. It's her only landmark." Daryl tells everyone. "Stay quiet and stay sharp. Keep space between you but always stay within sight of each other." Rick instructed "Everybody assemble your packs. Keep on those repairs. We've got to get this R.V. ready to move." Shane says "We won't stay here a minute longer than we have to. Good luck out there." Dale tells him "Bring Sophia back." After everyone was ready Daryl lead you into the woods.
You got to a tent that was in the middle of the forest so Daryl went to check it with Shane and Rick to back him up. Rick had Carol call softly out for Sophia but to no avail no one came out. Daryl went in checking it out. When he came out you all looked at him with a question on your faces. "Just some guy." "Is he dead?" "Yeah, he did what Jenner said. Opted out." Daryl said walking away. You were walking when you heard bells going off. "What is that? Are those church bells?" You asked.
You all took after the bells running through the woods. When you came out of the trees in front of you was a small graveyard and a church. But I could be the church the bells were coming from. "Thetes no steeple, this can't be where the bells ate coming from." You breathed out. Rick ran into the church anyway you and everyone else closed behind. You ran in after Rick followed by Daryl. You paused for a seconded seeing there were four walkers. You pulled you machete out taking out the closes one to you. Rick and Daryl doing the same. When you heard the bells again. You ran outside around the building to a box. You opened it and cut the wires. "It was on a timer." You said
You all gathered out by the tree in the graveyard where you had seen Shane and Andrea at. It looked like they were having a heated agreement. It was decided that Rick and Shane would stay out and search the area a little bit longer and catch up to the rest of you. "I want to go, she's my friend." Carl said "when did you start growing up?" Lori kissed the top of his head. Rick came over handing Lori his gun. "Remember how to use it?" "I'm not taking your gun, leaving you unarmed." "Here I got an extra one." Daryl says pulling a gun from the back of his pants and handing it to her. You noticed Andrea scuffing and rolling her eyes clearly not happy she's not the one with the gun. "You know jealous is ugly on you my dear." You whispered in her ear and walked off smirking. You all said your goodbyes and started heading back to the highway. Shane, Rick and Carl headed the other way planning on catching up with us after an hour.
