A gunshot ran in their ears.

Dawn pulled the trigger at the shock of the scissors going into her body. The bullet going right through Beth's head, blood splattering behind her. Daryl pulled out his gun and immediately shot Down down with no hesitation. The rest of the group all raised their guns ready for a fight.

At that moment Delilah flinched and buried her head into Shane's chest. He took her in close and watched as the scene unfolded when Beth's body hit the ground.

"We're even. Just go." One of the cops hesitated putting their hands up and making the others follow her lead. Rick signaled them to put their guns down.

Daryl went up and knelt down at Beth's body. Delilah followed him and put her hand on her brothers shoulder. Silent tears went down his face looking down at the young blonde he built a bond with. Delilah sniffled and wiped her tears trying to comfort her brother.

Daryl picked up the lifeless girl off the floor while everyone started to leave the building. Shane took her hand and left her out with everyone else. Her heart broke when a fire truck met them outside. Maggie and Glenn with Abraham's group were waiting for them. Michonne and everyone else beside them.

Delilah's eyes locked with Maggie's. Maggie's face turned from excited to worried in a few seconds as the group piled out of the building silently.

Daryl came out with Beth in his arms. Maggie flew forward hitting the ground. Glenn grabbed her from behind as she fell forward.

The group made a promise to Noah they sore to keep. After they had a proper burrier for Beth The regrouped at the church for the rest of the night before heading out the next day. Noah's old community was right outside Richmond. He lived there with his family before being taken to Grady Memorial and he wanted to see if they were still there.

Everyone was desperate enough to go. If this place was still there it could be a new start for everyone. After a long walk and they finally arrived. There were walls around the place and it looked secure at one point.

The silence made the group cringe at the walls in front of them. "I don't think-" Rick started. "No, they have to be in there." Noah interrupted him, limping towards the wall. Delilah looked over at Shane and gave him a look. The silence and the condition of the walls only meant one thing.

They help Noah up first over the fence. Everyone helped each other over the fence carefully. Delilah jumped down with Shane holding her hand to help her down. She looked around and examined the area. There were abandoned cars on the streets filled with houses. Their doors were open and they all looked abandoned. Noah ran as fast as he could towards what she assumed was his house with Tyrese closely behind him.
