narrative

glenn had given aurora his shirt, they sat against the wall.

"rory, did he—" glenn started.

"no." she looked over to him. "no, he barely touched me." the real reason she was so upset that he took her back to that night.

"all this time, running from walkers— you forget what people do, have always done." she wiped a tear from her face. "i mean, look what they did to you."

"doesn't matter." he laid his head to the side. "as long as he didn't—"

"no. i promise." aurora whispered. glenn looked across the room, at the dead walker. getting up he made his way over to it. she watched as he pulled its arm off and break it.

"what are you doing?" aurora raised to her feet, walking over to him. he snapped the arm in half, giving a part to aurora.

the group was still outside the walls, waiting for a moment to get in. michonne prodded the inside of her cheek before walking away carefully.

"hey! hey!" oscar whispered, catching the attention of daryl and rick.

"damn it." rick threw his head down, biting the inside of his cheek. he backed away from the car.

"alright, we need to downsize." he took his gun off, handing it to oscar. "ain't no way we're gonna check all those buildings."

"not with all those guards there." daryl added on. a twig snapping made them all turn their heads and put up the guns. michonne motions for them to be quiet and then follow her.

michonne lead them to a opening in a building. one she made before she left, in the same building she was questioned in. she was grateful that no one had discovered it and covered it up.

"this is where you were held?" rick asks.

"where i was questioned." she responded.

"any idea where else they could be?" daryl rushed over to a covered window. he looked out to see people walking around.

"i thought you said there was a curfew." he looked to her.

"there is. probably some teens sneaking out. the people here don't want to face reality, they're doing the same things as before."

"if anyone comes in here, we're sitting ducks." rick says. "we gotta move."

"they could be in his apartment." she suggests.

"yeah? what if they ain't?" daryl moved away.

"then we look somewhere else." she said like it was the most obvious thing.

"you said you could help us." rick moved towards her.

"i'm doing what i can." she said back to him.

"then where in the hell are they?" oscar asks.

"hey," rick motions for oscar and daryl to go with him, they huddle together in a corner away from her. "if this goes south, we're cutting her lose.

"you think she's leading us into a trap?" oscar wonders.

"right now it's the blind leading the blind." daryl tells them. "lets split up." he suggests.

a knock at the door and then the sound of keys make them all snap their heads to, it they quickly hide. the sound of the door opening then closing could be heard.
