Eloise woke up to sound of the front door to her house slamming shut. She tiredly got up, looking out her window and saw Jace and Enid running towards the walls, Enid putting pegs into the sides to climb. Eloise never shot up from bed so quick, practically running out of her house.
"What are you two doing?" Eloise announced once she got close enough to them to not draw attention. Enid sent a small glare to Jace. "I told you, you slammed the door." Enid started climbing the wall, ignoring Lou's calls to get down. "Where are you two going anyway?" She asked just before Jace started following Enid. Jace sighed, looking up at Enid before looking back down at Eloise. "Maggie." Eloise went bugged eyed as Jace started climbing the wall. "To Hilltop? Are you insane? Do you know how far that is?"
"We'll be fine, Lou." Enid, who was halfway up the wall, grunted. "Jace! Enid!" Eloise turned to Carl as he ran up beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Where are they going?" Carl asked, leaning towards Eloise. "They're going to see Maggie." Eloise whispered, leaning closer towards Carl. His eye went wide, turning to face the two teens climbing the wall.
"You two are walking to the Hilltop? It's far." Eloise crossed her arms over her chest. "We already heard all of this from, Ellie. We'll be fine." Jace grunted, going up another step as Eloise rolled her eyes at the nickname and Carl shrugged. "Maybe." He muttered. Eloise immediately turned to Carl, whacking his shoulder. "We both have better aim than you." Enid shot at Carl, making Jace hiss in embarrassment and Eloise gulp.
"I didn't mean it that way." Enid said once she realized what she blurted. "I'm not saving you anymore. We're not." Carl said before walking away. Eloise looked back up at the teens, Enid jumping over to the other side as Jace took one more step. He looked back at Eloise with a sad smile. "Be careful." She mouthed to him and he nodded, hopping over the wall.
After Eloise watched Jace hop over the walk safely, she ran to Carl, walking beside him. "You know we're going out there to stop them right?" Carl smirked, nodding his head. "Already a head of you."
...
"So if they're heading to Hilltop, they had to have gone this way, so where the hell are they?" Eloise mumbled to herself as she drove down the street after insisting she be the one to drive since Jasper always took her off-roading when she was little.
"There!" Carl spoke up, leaning over Eloise a little to point at the gas station where Enid and Jace were fighting three walkers. Enid was fighting the one closest to her while Jace was fighting the one practically on top of him but he didn't notice the third walker coming towards him from behind. "Buckle up, cowboy." Eloise whispered. Carl furrowed his brows, turning to Eloise. "What are you- WOAH!" Eloise slammed on the gas, launching the car forward and running over the walker.
Eloise looked in the rear view mirror and sighed as the walker got up. "Damn. He's still kicking." She mumbled before shifting into reverse and running over the walker and hitting the cement wall with it, totaling the car.
