The teens sit in the tent in silence while the others are cleaning up the walkers. Iza looks at her hands, while James and Ben are sat on the ground staring ahead. Gwyn is laying on her camping bed in silence.
Iza nods with a sniff. "I can't believe we lost one of us," she whispers.
"One of us?" James asks.
"Yes, one of us. We are all 16 year olds in a fucking apocalypse," Gwyn says sitting up.
"What do you want to do? Make a spitting pact to never let any of us die?" James scoffs.
"Not a spitting pact," Ben says getting up and taking out his knife.
"A blood pact?" James asks with a frown.
"I'm in," Iza says getting up.
James sighs as Gwyn also gets up. "Jamie, come on," Ben smiles.
"Idiots," he sighs as he gets up.
"We don't turn our backs on teens in need of help," Iza says putting her hand out.
"We don't betray each other," Gwyn says putting her hand out.
"We listen to each other," Ben says putting his hand out.
"We take care of our own," James says putting his hand out.
They all look at each other with nods before they each make a cut in their hands with Ben's knife. "Four teens in the apocalypse, what can go wrong?" James smiles as he looks at the blood in the bucket.
Soon after the body's are put to rest and the walkers are burned. Iza stands with Daryl while her hand is bandaged with a clean cloth. She mostly looks at the ground and the blood on it before Daryl nudges her and they get in his truck.
She lays her head on the window and closes her eyes with a sigh. "You sure you're okay?" He asks.
"I'm fine," she mumbles.
"So, Ben?" he asks making her blush a little bit.
"I didn't take you for the nerdy type," he says with a frown.
"Can we not talk about what type of boys i like? If you want to talk, talk about huntin and stuff," she scoffs.
"How bout you get some sleep?" he suggests making her nod.
When the truck stops, Iza gets out and walks to Gwyn who sits on the hood of Shane, Ben and James stand on the sides of the truck. Shane and T-dog leave to get something to fix the RV. Iza sighs as she jumps of the truck and signals Gwyn to walk away with her from the group.
Ben and James follow the girls without hesitation and they walk through the woods until Ben stops. "Keep up, Benjamin," James says walking past him with a sigh.
"It's a tree house," Ben says dreamingly.
"What?" Iza asks walking back to him and following his eyes.
Gwyn and James walk back to them with frowns and look up at the tree house. "Come on. Let's go," James says.
"No, we should look. Maybe there's somethin up there," Iza says.
"And how do you plan on getting up there? Climb?" James scoffs.
"Uhm, yep," Iza sighs rolling her eyes as she walks to the tree and starts climbing up.
Ben looks at her with open mouth. "You're drooling," Gwyn says with a smile and raised eyebrow.
A ladder drops down the tree and James looks at Ben and Gwyn who decide to climb up. The tree house is made of wood and the floor has some old carpeting on it.
It's dirty inside, like no one has been there in a decade but it's still filled with the memories of a child. Iza looks around as Ben walks in, her eyes are stuck on a picture of a 4 year old girl and his parents.
The girl has blue eyes and wears a hat, the dad has blue eyes with blond hair and the mom has blue eyes with brown hair. They're all smiling, Iza moves her fingers over the picture as a smile forms.
"Looks like a happy family," Ben says after a quick glance at the picture.
"Yeah, I guess they were," she smiles picking it up and taking the picture out.
James looks at her as if he notices the pain in her eyes. Her eyes meet his but he quickly looks away. "Anything interesting in here?" Gwyn asks as she climbs into the tree house.
"Nah, just some kid stuff. Old toys and pictures, just junk," Ben sighs.
"Depends on who you ask," James says as he looks at a picture of the same girl with a hunters rifle.
He picks it up and hands it to Iza. "She looks happy," he says softly as Ben goes through a box filled with toys.
Ben suddenly screams and jumps back making the other three jump while James takes out his knife. "What?" James screams.
"Spider!" Ben yells making James sigh as the gurls start laughing.
"Iza!" Daryl's voice sounds down the tree.
"Yep, comin," she yells back.
The teens go back with Daryl to the vehicles where James and Ben get scolding from their parents. Daryl just looks at Iza before getting in his truck.
"Next time, ya tell me before you run off, got it?" He asks.
"Yes, sorry," she says making him nod.
He keeps on driving until they finally reach cdc. Iza looks at the dead people and gags at the smell. They start walking towards the building.
Iza, Gwyn, Ben and James stay together while Rick tries to get in. Suddenly walkers come up and Daryl shoots one. After a short discussion, Shane and Rick start fighting when Rick thinks a camera moves.
Daryl grabs Iza and pushes her towards the truck. "Go! Just go!" He yells at her.
"No, not without you!" She yells back fighting him.
Rick starts to walk away but the doors suddenly open. Iza turns around, the lights make it look like the doors of heaven just opened for them.
The teens stand together, Ben looks at them before he takes the first step and goes inside. Iza follows him without thinking, making Gwyn and James follow them too.
