Aaron wasn't lying, he was right. After some confiding, Rick decided that they would go at night. Aaron thought that was a bad idea, especially with the route to take. You all wen't anyways, your family is in the camper putting you on the bed. You just held onto Daryl's hand, Austin laid in the bed next to you asleep.
"Is this place actually real?" You asked.
"Has to be, made it this far." Daryl said "Besides, if he's lying. Gonna kill him."
"Don't be like that." You said "He gotten us this far. He told the truth about the camper and the meds."
"Doesn't matter." Daryl said "If something happens to you or Austin, he's a dead man."
You took his hand in yours. Holding it tight, he looked over at you before kissing your head. 

The Rv came to a holt, you could hear Abraham cursing, walkers were blocking the road. You had lost Rick, Glenn, Aaron, and Michonne they were in the car ahead of you. But what really gotten you was the flare, a bright red one. Abraham somehow turned the RV around to follow the flare. The Rv comes to a stopped and there was a man on the ground, walkers coming for him. Maggie, Rosita, and Tara run out of the RV killing the walkers and helping the man inside.
"Welcome aboard this shit fest, now who the fuck are you?" Abraham said.
"Look, my name is Erick. I'm sure you know Aaron." Erick said.
"He wasn't lying." Maggie said "But if any of them are hurt or dead. I will kill you."
They made him sit where all eyes are on him. You offered to move, but Maggie told you to stay. If not her then Daryl would, but he and Abraham looked for a place to stay for the night. You held your turquoise necklace that Daryl had given you, Austin was beside you still sleeping on the bed. You pulled him closer to you and just held him close, you couldn't lose this boy, or it would actually kill you.

You had found a place. You and Maggie took a look at Erick's ankle, he told you that he had rolled it.
"I wouldn't say that it broken, but definitely twisted." You said "Gonna wanna keep it elevated and make sure not to put pressure it. Or at least try to keep off as much."
"Will do." Erick said "You a doctor?"
"Something like that." You said, wrapping up his ankle "Study for a while, then the world wen't to hell."
"Noted." Erick said.
You heard to door open and in busted the room was Aaron. Aaron ran straight over to Erick and made sure he was alright, he looks at you as a way of saying thank you. Maggie helped you and you both left the room; Daryl took hold of you so Maggie went straight to Glenn. Daryl gave you some more antibiotics and water.
"How you feel?" Daryl asked.
"Better, the discoloration is going away now and no fever." You said "Should be back to good in a couple weeks. Might leave a nasty scar."
"Still gonna love it, no matter what." Daryl said "I love you."
"I love you too." You said, giving him a kiss.
You all stayed there for the night knowing now that you can trust the new people. Rick took first watch.

By morning you all packed into the Rv and made your way to Alexandria, but on the way the Rv came to a stop.
"Goddamit!" Abraham yelled.
"What happened?" Rick asked.
"Dam battery died." Aaron said "It's an old Rv, was bound to happen."
"We're we gonna get another battery?" Rosita said.
"Right here." Glenn said, pulling out a battery.
You smiled at that; it reminded you of Dale. You missed that man, him and that damn Rv. You missed everyone from the Quarry.  You took hold of your husband and son hands in yours and squeezed. You wrapped your arm around Austin and pulled him close. You Laid your head on Daryl's shoulder and snuggled closed to him with Austin.
When the battery was replaced, the drive was back on to Alexandria. You all had pulled up to a gate, you saw Aaron and Erick smile.
Everyone had made their way out of the Rv and saw the gate. You could hear kids laughing and chatting. Rick had a big smile on his face, knowing that this was a win. The gates opened and you followed into it, seeing all the houses doesn't seem real.
You see a 50 year old woman with a warm smile on her face.
"Aaron, Erick." The woman said "Welcome back, I see you brought people."
"Yes, were happy to be back." Aaron said "This is Rick and his people. Everyone this is Deanna."
Deanna gave you all a welcoming smile. You saw a woman with a cart come up to you.
"I'm glad that they had brought you all, but we do advise that you put your weapons on this cart. It's just for safety, but I still welcome you. Now before we let you into this community, we will be asking some questions. It's one on one, Rick, I'll take you first."
You followed his lead and put your weapons on the cart. You watched Rick enter the house with Deanna, Aaron and Erick had left them.
