Shane walked down a lonely road. He had no idea where he was going or what he was doing. He only had two people on his mind, Judith and Delilah. Shane was using his tracking skills that Delilah taught him. He followed these tracks until there was nothing to follow anymore. He lost the tracks and continued down the road.
The only thing he saw was the occasional walker every thirty minutes. Every few minutes he would look behind him as he got further and watched the air consume the black smoke up above. Soon the sun went down and he needed to stop and keep the noise down.
Shane camped out against a tree a little bit away from the road. By morning he realized he didn't really sleep at all. He lied there watching the sky and listening for walkers. His walk continued until something caught his eye. Railroad tracks crossed the road he was walking and there was a sign with words written on it.
"Sanctuary for all community for all. Those who arrive survive." The Wash read in his mind. He walked to the other side of the sign and saw a map with a star in the middle that read "Terminus" Shane examined the map tracing the different paths with his fingers. The train tracks in front of him was a straight path to terminus. He thought about everyone else if they saw this sign. Shane shrugged and followed the tracks to Terminus.
The more he followed the tracks, the more his mind wandered. Lori barely ever popped in his mind anymore. The things he did he tended to regret and his biggest one was with Lori. Judith and Delilah came out of that regret, the best two things that happened to him. Delilah brought him back to life and changed him as a person.
The tracks were never ending. Shane passed walkers that were put down recently about a day ago. He knew that people were close by and possibly going the same place. As the sun went down he started to follow the tracks from the trees.
Noise was heard in the distance. Shane ran to the nearest tree and put his back against it. He listened for a minute. The voices were unrecognizable. He went tree to tree inching closer to the voice. The words they spoke was threatening. Shane peeked from behind a tree and saw a road with a car parked next to a road. Shane's eyes locked on Rick with a gun against his head. Michonne was next to him with the same treatment. Carl was on the ground pinned with a gun on top of him.
Rick noticed Shane in the trees. Shane gave him a wide eyed look. Rick slyly looked at Shane and back to Carl on the ground. Daryl started getting beat by a couple men behind the car. Shane snuck back to get a better view at Daryl's situation. A gun went off towards Rick's direction and Shane got out, attacking one of the men beating Daryl.
The guy stumbled backwards at Shane's punch. Daryl got up and punched the other guy attacking him. The two of them took down the men the best they could leaving them on the ground. Daryl panted with his hands on his knees. "Thanks, man." Daryl panted in pain. Shane gave him a nod.
The two of them made their way away from the car, Shane helping Daryl by his side. Turning the corner the saw the three men dead. Michonne had Carl in her arms, holding him close. Rick looked at his two friends in front of him with a menacing look, a face full of blood.

Delilah watched her feet pass each other over and over. The tracks were burned into her mind at this point. The distant sound of Eugene rambling off nonsense in front of her. She did her best to be nice and block it out, but it was hard considering that's the only thing she could hear. Her face shifted to disappointment thinking about her iPod she had back at the prison.
Tara sped up in front of them looking off into the distance. Delilah looked up and saw both Tara and Glenn run up to a sign. Glen stopped in his tracks "Glenn go to Terminus. Maggie, Sasha, Bob." Was written around the map in blood. Delilah covered her mouth with her hand in surprise. "She's alive!" She exclaimed proudly. Tara gave them both a wide smile.
Glenn started running off in front of them. Delilah flinched watching the man run as fast as he could. The group looked at each other blanky before taking off after him. The group eventually caught up with him when Glenn slowed down.
"Hold up." Abraham stopped them. "We're stopping here." Abraham said, getting off the tracks to the side by a tower. Delilah stopped and put her weight off her leg. "Tired is slow. Slow is dead." Abraham told Glenn. Glenn looked up at the sun and back at them.
"It's barely noon." The Rhee complained.
"I don't give a monkey's left nut. None of us has slept more than a couple hours straight since we went all Casey Jones. This place looks safe. We need to rest. She can barely walk on that leg." Abraham said, pointing at Delilah's leg.
"I'm fine. If he wants to keep going I'll be okay." Delilah reassured them. She knew she needed to rest, but these people were more important to her. "I get it you have to find her. Well, Rosita and me, we got a mission, too. It's keeping that man alive, getting him to Washington, and saving the whole damn world. So we're going in that tower and we're going now." Abraham raised his voice, walkers snarled from above.
"Watch out!." Glenn warned. Abraham shoved Tara down on the ground getting in front of Eugene. Delilah kneeled the best she could. "You okay?" She asked the brunette on the ground. She turned over grabbing her leg in pain. "I'm fine." Tara forced out through pain.
"We got to stay here. Who's gonna help me carry her up?" Rosita asked. Glenn rushed to her side helping Tara up. Delilah got up and supported herself on Glenn's shoulder. "You guys wanna stop or you wanna keep going?" Glenn asked the two girls.
Delilah looked at the both of them and nodded. "I can keep going." Delilah told him with a determined look. "Me too, me too." Tara panted.
"Look, if they can keep going, we all can keep going...Or you guys can stay here. You don't need us, we don't need you. It's okay." Glenn told Abraham's group, determined to keep going.
"Wow you're an ass." Rosita scoffed. "She will do whatever you say because she thinks she owes you. Delilah got shot and she's still following you. Man up. Stay here for a few hours." Rosita argued making Glenn sigh.
"You just care about keeping Eugene safe, right? It's the only reason you want to stop? We go until sundown, I give Eugene my riot gear right here, right now. Everybody wins." Glenn turned to Abraham to compromise.
"These guys say they can keep going, we keep going. You've got yourself a deal." Abraham excepted Glenn's deal. Delilah shrugged and started walking alongside Rosita who was helping Tara.
