Bobbie's Point of View:
We followed track down the prints for a while longer. Daryl stops and points ahead. Maggie approaches our side and she stares across our path. Daryl and I spotted a walker making its way through the woods and we slowly made our way to it. Maggie walks ahead, pulls her knife out and easily kills it. We continued walking until I noticed something. I grab Daryl's arm.

"Do you see what I see?" I ask him.

"Yeah." He nods.

"What is it?" Maggie asks.

"Trail splits." Daryl says.

"Hershel?" Maggie asks.

"I lost him." He says. "Someone coulda picked him up, though."

"What now?" Kelly asks.

"We split up the group." Daryl declares.

"No way." Cole speaks up. Daryl turns to him.

"Our people are out there." Maggie argues. "Splitting up is the fasted way to find 'em."

"And what if someone finds us?" Cole asks.

"Stay alive." Maggie says. Her eyes turn to Daryl and I. "Daryl, Bobbie and I cross. Keep headin north, we'll catch up with you." She walks away first and Daryl and I turn to Kelly. Daryl makes sure to tell Kelly to be safe, that we'd be back together again soon. Kelly nods her head and shares the same with us. I quickly approach her and wrap my arms around her. I figured Kelly would've simply stood there, hated every second of me even touching her. Instead, her arms wrap around mines and she squeezes me back. I break the hug and she shows a worried look. I furrow my brows at her, grabbing her shoulders. Her eyes pick up and looks at me.

"You've got this. Put your brave face on. We'll be together soon. Promise." I tell her. Kelly shows a smile and she nods her head. We finally parted ways and we catch up with Maggie.

We come to a stop when we head a twig breaking. Daryl walks farther from Maggie and I. We both began to follow after him slowly. Daryl suddenly picks up the pace and Maggie and I quickly follow. Daryl suddenly runs up behind a female, covers her mouth and holds his knife to her throat.

"Oh, no." Maggie utters. She begins running and I quickly follow. Two more people come out of hiding and run over to Maggie and I.

"Daryl! Daryl!" Maggie whisper yells. Daryl quickly turns to us. "Everybody, stand down." Maggie orders her people. "Daryl, she's one of ours." Daryl lightly released the woman from his grip and she lets out a sigh.

"Thank god." Daryl stares at her, cheeks glowing red of embarrassment.

"Sorry." He says. The girl quickly walks away and Daryl's turn to me. A smile holds on my face and I covered my mouth from laughing so hard at him.

"Oh, shut up." He scoffs. "Let's go." He growls. We follow Maggie and she soon lowers herself to her knees. Her people surround her and huddle together.

"What happened?" Maggie asks the girl Daryl held onto. There are two other people from Maggie's group, one a female and the other a male.
