The world has ended and there's more people dead than alive, and somehow Andie has ended up completely and utterly alone. Nowhere is safe, but she can't keep running. And after captivity turns to friendship and love, the teenager must decide what di...

Andie kills the walker that was heading straight for Daryl, and he looks at her as the last body drops. Her gaze meets his for a moment, then she turns around and walks away from him. The teenager hasn't said a word since their conversation last night, and he'd be lying if he said the silence didn't make him uneasy.
The two of them cleared the courtyard with the help of Rick, Glenn, T-Dog, and Maggie. Now their leader wants them all to press on, heading inside the prison building. T-Dog shuts the door behind them as they slowly make their way into C block.
The group looks around the common area for any signs of walkers before Daryl makes his way toward the cell block with Andie not far behind. Rick then moves up the steps of the guard tower to make sure the body there is actually dead, and he finds the keys that'll allow them to enter the rest of the block.
They see dead bodies in the cells — men who either killed themselves or were killed before they had a chance to turn. Andie sees Daryl walking up the steps, and she follows after him, not wanting him to go alone; he's supposed to have someone there to watch his back.
There doesn't seem to be any threat in any of the cells where the doors are open, but then they hear a noise come from the opposite end than they're on. They turn to see a few closed doors, and they make their way over as quietly as they can while still moving quickly.
A walker reaches through the bars and tries to grab Daryl, but he presses himself against the railing as he keeps moving forward. Andie pulls her knife out and steps toward the cell door, and she watches it fruitlessly reach for her. She stabs it in the head, then looks over to see Daryl do the same thing to the walker one cell over.
Rick gives the keys to Daryl before telling Glenn and Maggie to bring the others into the cell block. He then starts telling T what he wants him to do while Daryl and Andie start pulling dead walkers out of the cells and pushing them over the edge to the floor below. They need to clear the infected bodies out of the cell block so that their group can actually live there.
"What do you think?" Rick asks the group as T-Dog starts pulling one of the bodies toward the exit.
"Home sweet home." Glenn mumbles before walking into a cell with his things.
"For the time being."
"It's secure?" Lori asks, and he nods.
"This cell block is." Her husband tells her.
"What about the rest of the prison?" Hershel asks; he's one of the last to enter.
"In the morning, we'll find the cafeteria and infirmary."
