Through the night, we found the rest of the community. Or at least, those left of it.

As the sun came up and we were sure the walkers were all gone, the discussions and explanations began. And of course, not all of it was good- most far from it.

"Deanna got bit right after the wall fell," Michonne explains, "She wanted you to have this."

She holds out a piece of paper that was folded up, my name clear in her handwriting.

"She was with you, though. Back at the wall," I recall.

"She wanted to see Spencer one last time so, she came with us. She said if it got too much then she would break off from us."

"Is that what happened? Has anyone found her?" I question.

Michonne glances to where everyone was piled around the infirmary, the group too scared to be too far away from each other anymore.

"Sam got scared. The walkers got him," she reveals.

To my side, Taeyang sighs as though remembering the sight.

"I didn't know what to do. I just grabbed Jessie and made her look away," Taeyang explains.

"You did good. If not for you, they might've gotten her, too," Michonne assures.

I glance to where Jessie was sitting beside Ron, the two silent as ever.

"Deanna tried to step in and save him. She screamed that she was already gone, so she might as well try and save him. She started shooting. The walkers heard her. She just.." Michonne takes a breath, "She just kept shooting even though they were.. on her."

"That's how Carl got shot," Taeyang explains, "Deanna was shooting blindly and he got caught by one."

"But, Denise is going to save him. She said he's stable," I remind, pointing to the infirmary doors.

"He is," Michonne nods, "But, still. He's going through this to begin with."

"Carl's going to be fine," I say, laying my hand on her arm, "He's been through this before."

"Getting shot isn't something you build immunity up to, Hana," she says with a pointed look.

"For the Grimes family, I think it is," I shrug.

"How's Maggie?" she asks, moving on from the subject.

"She's good. It was just a cut to her leg, it wasn't anything deep or life threatening. Beth was able to patch her up while Denise was with Carl," I explain.

Michonne relaxes, giving a nod.

"Daniel said he was close to banging his head against the wall to put himself back to sleep," Ben says as he walks over.

"Things go okay with you?" Michonne asks.

"Yeah.. Once Aaron, Heath, and Spencer got there it felt safer. Denise showed up right before you guys brought Carl in," Ben tells her, "Then, the four of us just followed Rick. Daniel wanted to go, but I was able to talk him out of it."

"Hey," a voice calls, "Hana?"

I look over to see Tobin and Abraham, smiling as Abraham gives a face.

"Hey," I greet.

"We got a wall that needs to be put back up. Think you could help us manage that?" Tobin asks.

Taeyang pats my back and I smile a bit, "Of course I can."

"Good. We're gonna need that brain of yours," Abraham smiles.
