It's been a couple of days, but you had made it to Virginia. Noah, Rick, Michonne, and Tyress went to find Noah's family. They made the rest stay back. Daryl went out hunting, he had taken Austin to teach him. You were put on bed rest, just staying put was starting to make you mad. Bob was dead and so were the people from terminus, apparently, they had taken bob and ate his leg. You felt bad for Sasha, her and Bob were together at the time, and you know she wasn't the same. And that Eugen was lying also about being a doctor and saving the world, it was all and act. But you couldn't blame him, end of the world and some people only have lying to save their ass.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Tyress didn't make it. Sasha was broken and you all knew it. Another one died, but you had to keep going. You also had to find anti biotic, the hospital didn't give you enough so now you have an infection starting. Daryl was searching through every vehicle and building whenever you passed one hopping, but it was always short. It wasn't too bad, but it would get worse if some weren't found. You had to walk since you ran out of gas and you ran out of food and water, so it really didn't help much.
Sasha, was being reckless also, killing walkers with no energy. Michonne had to knock her on her ass to reminded her the situation that they were in.
You all had to take a rest after the walkers, when you did there was growling. Not from walkers, but from dogs. It was a pack of them. Sasha took them all out before the rest of you could do anything. Daryl wasted no time in skinning the dogs and showing Austin how to do so. Rick went ahead and started a fire and helped skin the dogs.
You hated what happened, but it needed to happen for you all. It was the best thing you had in weeks, everyone can agree on that.
But it was over soon, cause you had to start walking back to were ever it is you were going. 

In the road a few miles in, there were bottles of water. 

"From a friend." Rick said, holding up the note.

"Someone following us." Tara said.

"Hadn't seen anyone." Abraham said.

"Don't drink any of it." Rick said "It might be poisoned."

"If they were going to take us out why didn't they do it already?" Glenn asked.

"Screw it." Eugen said, picking up a bottle and opening it.
Abraham slapped it out of his hand, staring him down. But the sky started to darken and soon rain started to pour, cooling you all down. Some of you layed on the ground and some was having their mouths open and getting water. Others were opening bottles and gathering water. You, Sasha, Maggie, and Daryl just stood in the rain, it should be a happy time but you couldn't bring your self to smile or laugh. The rain was getting harder and the wind was picking up.
"There's a barn." Daryl said.

"Where?" Rick asked.
Daryl and Austin lead the way to the barn, there was only one walker that was there. The walker had blonde hair, which reminded you of Beth. A fire was started soon, and you sat on a wall. You had checked out your stomach, yellow was on the stitches. You were lucky that you didn't have a fever, but sooner or later your luck would run out. You also circled the scar on your stomach, were that damn arrow had priced. Daryl came over soon and sat down by you, he looked also at the scar and took your hand with his.

"How's it looking?" Daryl asked.

"Like shit, gonna be a fever next if we don't find anything soon." You said. 

His hand gotten tighter; he wasn't gonna let that happen if he can help it. He couldn't lose you too, he couldn't lose any more people that he cared about. 

"I used to feel sorry for kids that had to grow up too much in this. But I think I got it wrong. Growing ups getting used to the world." Rick said.

"This isn't the world." Michone said "This isn't it."

"It might be." Glenn said "It might."

"That's giving up." Michone said.

"That's reality." Glenn said.

"Until we see otherwise. This is what we have to live with." Rick said "When I was a kid, I asked my grandpa once if he killed any Germans in the war. He wouldn't answer, said that was grown up stuff. So, I asked if any Germans tried to kill him. He got real quiet. Said he was dead man as soon as he stepped into enemy territory. Every day he woke up go tell himself "Go rest yourself, now get up and go to war." Then after a few years of pretending he was dead he made it out alive. And that's the trick of it, I think. We do what we need to do, so then we get to live. But no matter what we find in D.C. we'll be okay, cause this is how we survive. We tell ourselves, that we are the walking dead." 

Everyone was quiet.

"Nah, we ain't them." Daryl said, getting up breaking sticks.

"We ain't them." Rick said "Hey, were not."

Daryl and Rick looked at each other, Daryl throw the sticks in the fire "We ain't them." And walker to the door.
