The four of them ran into the barn and closed the door and latched it.

"That's the most of those damn things I've ever seen" Delilah exclaimed. The walkers were getting closer to the barn by the second.

"Shane, Delilah you guys go up into the hay loft with Carl. Drop this lighter when I say." Rick ordered and handed Carl a lighter.

"What about you?" Shane asked him.

"I'll be okay. Go." Rick assured him. Delilah helped Carl up first then she went up with Shane behind her. Rick was spreading gasoline around the barn. Delilah watched him yell and bang the barn doors getting the walkers attention. Rick unlatched the doors letting them through. Carl got the lighter ready.

"Now." Rick said, climbing up into the loft. Carl dropped the lighter and the hay went up in flames. The walkers started to burn along with the barn. The four of them found the loft window. Delilah couldn't believe her eyes. The group had cars driving around the farm trying to clear the walkers. The RV was parked right outside the barn.

"We have to jump. Come on." Rick said, he jumped on top of the RV. They followed his lead.

"There's no way we can kill them all, man." Shane said, looking at the walkers.

"I know." Rick said and he jumped down off the RV. Delilah followed his lead. Screams came out of the RV.

They started sprinting across the field. While they were running they all shot as many walkers as they could. Delilah ran out of ammo at one point and had to use her tomahawk a couple times.

They ran to the front of the farm. Hershel was shooting walkers left and right. A walker got close behind him. Rick shot it, spattering blood all over Hershel's head. Rick had to pull Hershel away to stop him from shooting.

"Here." Shane pointed out a car close behind them. Delilah quickly opened the back seat and got Carl in first. She hopped in with Shane and he closed the door. Hershel hopped in the front and Rick started driving. As they drove away from the farm she wondered if anyone made it out.

The group of five found themselves back at the highway where it all began. The stuff they left Sofia was still there. Delilah hopped out of the car and looked around the area for walkers.

"We have to go back and look for mom." Carl exclaimed.

"We can't go back, bud." Shane said softly.

"But we have to. It's mom." He insisted.

"We can't go back, Carl." Rick pained himself to say.

The five of them sat and waited. They waited for a sound of life. Someone to show up and say it's okay. Delilah sat against the car with her tomahawk in her hand. She examined the blade. Shane sat and joined her.

"All those walkers. I've never seen so many...and Randall how did he-" Before Delilah could finish, the sound of a motorcycle approaching made her jump to her feet. She got up quickly and saw Daryl on his motorcycle with Carol on the back. She gasped and sprinted towards them. She jumped into Daryl's arms.

"Thank god." Daryl said softly, holding her. They let go when another car approached the highway. Delilah watched Glenn and Maggie come out of the car. The truck approached shortly after. Tdog, Beth and Lori were there too. Delilah watched the Greene family reunite along with the Grimes. Then she noticed the missing people.

"Where's Andrea?" Glenn asked,

"We saw her go down." Lori said while putting her head down.

"Patricia?" Hershel asked. Beth started to shake her head.

"They took her right from me." She cried.

"Jimmy?" Beth asked about her boyfriend.

"He was in the RV." Rick said. Everyone took a moment for the ones they lost.

Rick decided it was time to go and find somewhere to go before it gets too dark and cold. Delilah got on the back of Daryl's motorcycle and they drove off with everyone.

After awhile on the road a car honks behind them. Everyone stopped and Delilah hopped off the motorcycle and met with everyone else.

"I'm freezing." Carl said while Lori gave him her jacket.

"Running on an empty tank for awhile now." Rick said.

"This is a good place to settle down. Just for tonight." Rick shrugged.

"What no this is bad we can't just stay out here, we will die." Glenn complained.

"I don't think it's very safe either." Maggie agreed with Glenn.

Everyone got into a little argument about the situation. People wanted to keep going even though we were running on fumes. Rick was out numbered. Delilah stayed silent.

"I'm the reason you are still alive....Im trying my best." Rick said and stormed off. Lori ran after him.

It got dark and no one has seen Rick for at least an hour. Shane helped Delilah make an area in the trees safe. Daryl lit a fire and everyone sat in silence. Delilah sat between Shane and Daryl.

"We need to leave." Carol announced. Rick suddenly came out of the trees.

"This is ridiculous just listen to Rick." Shane argued.

"Well if you guys don't feel safe you are welcome to leave. I'm not stopping you. This is how we live now. This is how we survive now. This isn't a democracy anymore."
