...30 Minutes later...

Joel, Tommy and Maria came back, the girl was still looking at her hands, they were still trembling. Joel knelt down, "We're back," Joel looked at Maria and Tommy.

Maria stood by the bed side,

"What's your name?"

Maria asked a bit sternly,

The girl looked at Maria, Joel and Tommy, she whispered, "..y/n.."

Maria raised a eyebrow, she knelt down beside the girl,

"Say it one more time..."

The girl took a deep breath,

"...y/n..."

She spoke a little more clearer this time. Joel looked at Tommy and raised an eyebrow.

"Well y/n...It's nice to meet you...do you know where you come from?"

Maria asked, y/n looked around, and nodded.

"A group..."

Maria looked at y/n as she spoke, she squinted her eyes and sighed,

"We know you were in a group...but where?...Are they dangerous?...Are they gonna come looking for you?"

Maria asked, y/n looked at Maria and tilted her head,

"I don't know where I am..."

Maria sighed, slowly getting frustrated. Tommy pulled out a map from his pocket,

"We are right here,"

Tommy points to a spot on the map,

"We found you right here,"

Tommy points to another spot on the map,

"Do you know where exactly your group resides?"

y/n shook her head,

"...I-I don't recognize that place..."

Tommy sighed and nodded,

"It's okay, just get some rest."

y/n looked up at Tommy and nodded softly. Tommy looked over at Joel and Maria, and gestured them to leave her alone for a while. It was obvious the girl was frightened, and still a bit weary.

"My group-"

y/n spoke before they left, it caught Joel's attention, and he stopped Tommy and Maria.

"They-...Their not people you should try to contact."

Joel tilted his head and knelt down towards y/n, as he spoke,

"What do you mean, 'We shouldn't contact them'?"

y/n looked up at Joel, she looked nervous, and afraid.

"...They're too dangerous..."

Joel looked at Tommy very concerned and a bit confused, he turned back to y/n and looked at her very sternly,

"...Be truthful and honest...or we will throw you out to the infected woods, in the middle of winter storm, answer me this..."

Joel made sure he had y/n scared, and made sure she told the whole truth. y/n nodded, trembling softly as Joel knelt close to her.

"Would you being here...bring danger to our community?"

Joel asked, y/n shook her head, and spoke softly,

"No...They don't give a shit about me or anyone for that fact...That's wh-"

y/n stopped, she looked away from Joel, and shook her head. Joel looked at y/n,

"That's what?"

Joel asked firmly, y/n didn't speak, she was too scared to say...
