We were walking for what felt like forever. Rick was slowing us down. I know he couldn't help it, but he had something wrong with his ribs or lungs. I wasn't a doctor, and I didn't know how to help or what to do. All I could do was help him walk, and hoped I didn't loose him, too. I was tired of everyone dying. I was tired of loosing everyone I loved. I didn't know who else in our group had made it. I didn't know if my brother had made it. Hershel was gone. Judith was gone. Even though the world was already over, it felt like it was ending all over again.

"Carl, Sage. Slow down." I say, but they just keep walking and ignoring us.

"Carl, Sage, STOP!" Rick yells. It was so loud and scary, it made me jump.

Carl and Sage stop in their tracks. "We need to stay together. We got to find a place with food, supplies...." Rick says, as we get near them. He puts his hand on Carl's shoulder.

"We're gonna be..." Rick says, but stops when he sees the look on their face. They continue walking ahead of us.

He looks at me, but I don't say anything. I wasn't mad at him, just mad at myself. Our baby was gone.

"Luna, I'm..." he says, but I almost snap his head off.

"NO!" I yell, not meaning to. "I'm sorry... but no. I don't want to talk about it. There's nothing to say so let's just... let's just not talk about it, please." I say, avoiding his. gaze.

We approach a building, looks like an old restaurant. We decide to go in and check it out, to see what we could find.
"Stay outside, okay? You both keep watch." Rick says to Carl and Sage.
"You keep watch." Carl says.
"You can barely stand, Dad. And Mom, your in no condition to go in their alone. We won't let you." Sage says.
"Excuse me?" I say.

"We've done this before." Carls says.
"We're gonna help you clear it." Sage says.
"You should just let us do it ourselves." Carl says.
Rick looks at me. "Fine. Let's go." he says, opening the door as we go inside to check it out.

"Kitchen's clear." Rick says.
"That might be all that's left." I say, with the walker blocking it.
"I can get it from here." Carl says.
"No." I say.
"Luna's right. It's weak." Rick says.
"I'll draw it out." Rick says.

"Like hell you will. I'll do it." I say, scolding Rick. "Stay back." I knock the chairs out of the way and the walker comes towards me. I push it back with my hand and use my knife. I pierce the blade through its skull. I remove the knife, and the walker falls to the ground. I take my boot and stomp on the walkers head, continuously, letting some anger out. Rick reaches for my hand and says, "It's dead." but I turn around and hold the knife up to him. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I yell, fighting back the tears. He backs up and let's me have my space, looking terrified of me. I take a breath and calm down. "See what you can find. Then let's move on and get the hell out of here." I say. Carl and Sage look at each other.

"Kitchen wasn't empty after all." Rick says, bringing in food with Sage.

Carl and I were also gathering food, but we had much more than Sage and Rick. "Our haul, you?"
