It took a while, but eventually we got everyone around to go on our run. Daryl drove, I sat up front with him, Michonne, Bob, and Tyreese in the back.

I sighed, looking back at Michonne. "Listen, sorry about what I said earlier. We know you aren't running off it's just.. It's a lost cause. The trail went cold."

Daryl nodded, "if it were any different, we'd be right out there with you."

The car was filled with an awful silence, and Daryl clicked on the Radio, only for it to be filled with static. "Hand me one of those CDs?" He asked, pointing to them.

I opened the case, flipping through a few, before we heard a voice over the static in the radio say "find sanctuary."

"Was that a voice?" Bob asked.

"Shh." Daryl whispered.

We listened carefully, making out a few more words.

"Determined to survive... Keep alive." Me and Daryl looked at each other, then I looked in the backseat. The message, determined to survive, keep alive repeated. I looked ahead, and gasped.

"DARYL LOOK OUT!"

"shit!" He cursed as he swerved to the side, almost hitting a walker at a high speed, our tires squealing as we zig zagged threw a few that littered the road.

We were forced to pull over as we ran into a herd, I think the biggest one I've ever seen. they all surrounded our car, and we had no where to go.

"GRAB SOMETHING!" Daryl instructed everyone as he threw the car in reverse.

"Left, Daryl, go left- go left!" I yelled, the panic evident in my voice.

We tried to move forward, but we obviously ran over to many walkers when we went in reverse cause we didn't move.

"We're jammed up." Daryl told us. "Make a run for the gaps right there." He looked at Me, Michonne, and Bob. "You three, you make a run for the woods and you don't stop for nothing, you hear me?"

I swallowed hard, wanting to say I'd stay with him, but knew it was for everyone's best interest if I just listened.

"NOW!" he yelled, throwing open the sunroof as he shot down walkers.

I bursted through my door, grabbing my machete, killing as many walkers as I could as I ran to the woods, Michonne and Daryl somewhere behind me as we all killed and fought for our lives. I heard Bob shooting a few behind me as well.

Me and Daryl and Michonne got to the treeline, helping Bob get to us. We looked ahead, seeing Tyreese surrounded by walkers as he screamed for us to go.

Daryl grabbed my arm, "come on." He said, before the 4 of us ran into the woods, leaving Tyreese behind.

We ran through the woods, killing any walkers we came across until we got to a clear where we were safe for a minute.

"Hold up." Daryl said, loading his crossbow as we heard shuffling in the trees. Two walkers came out, and Daryl was getting ready to shoot, before Tyreese came out behind them, and killed one, then he fell to the floors and before any more could get him, Daryl killed one, and grabbed Tyreese.

"Come on!" He said urgently as we ran through the woods.

-----

We got to a safe pint after running all night. I had thrown up twice on the way here, but I'd be fine. I had to be.

"This is Turner Creek, so Barnesville must be a few miles downstream." Michonne explained.

"Sounds like our best chance at finding a new ride." Bob nodded
