Melina's pov

I ended up changing my clothes before we left and put my hair in a braid. (Outfit on top)

We ended up having to leave our truck and me and my dad had to ride our bikes.

But I'm not complaining. I hopped on my bike with Carl and Rose hopped in the RV and we were off again. (Bike below)

We were going down a highway when we got to a traffic jam. Me and my dad went through it and then circled back to tell the others there's a way through.

We were slowly going through the traffic jam went I heard the RV break down.

I turned around and got closer to the RV. I stopped my bike, turned it off, kicked the kickstand down, and got off with Carl.

We walked over hand in hand. "What happened?" I asked Dale. "This damn hose." Was all I got out of him.

My dad, Shane, and Rick we're discussing what to do and came to the conclusion to take the gas out of the car around us and search for supplies.

"I don't know how I feel about this, it's a graveyard." Lori said. I rolled my eyes and started walking away.

I found some food and water, and was about to check out another car when I felt Carl behind me.

"Get down under the car, a herd is coming." He said and I did as told. I could see Sophia under a few cars away, Rose was with her.

I could also see Rick, Lori, and Carol. Herd mostly passed but for a few stragglers that were bye the car that Sophia and Rose were under.

The next thing I know I hear Sophia screaming. I saw her crawl out from under the car and make a run for it in the woods.

I didn't think twice before going after her. Rick was right behind me. We finally caught Sophia by a creek.

Rick told me and Sophia to hide in a little hole by the creek while he leads the walkers away, and that once he was gone to head back to the road keeping the sun on our left shoulder.

We were doing what Rick told us until a walker came out of nowhere. I pulled it away from Sophia.

"Sophia, run I'll find you!" I yelled at her. She didn't even hesitate before running off. I took out my knife and stabbed the walker in the head.

It fell to the ground and I let out a sigh. I then turned in the direction that Sophia went in and started walking.

I followed her tracks but lost them because of lack of daylight. Just then I heard my dad.

"Melina, Sophia!" I ran in the direction of the shouting. "Daddy!" I yelled back. I could hear him shouting my name and shouted back to him.

A few minutes later I run into him and Rick. I hug them both tears coming from my eyes.

"Daddy, I lost Sophia. A walker popped out of nowhere and I told Sophia to run. I've been tracking her but lost her trail." I explained.

He calmed me down and we started walking back. As soon as Carl saw me he ran over engulfing me in a hug.

I hugged him back tight while crying. We stood there just like that for a few minutes before we pulled away.

I walked over to Carol. "I'm so sorry, I tried. I tried my best to bring her back." I said as tears ran down my face.

Carol just pulled me into a hug. "I know." She whispered. When we finally calmed down I went to go find a car for me and Carl to sleep in.

We found a car and went to sleep. I was going to find Sophia tomorrow like I told her I would. No matter what.
