(A few days have passed, they sleep in the car and sometimes in shops)
-My wound doesn't heal too much, Mom....(She said as she touched it)
-Don't touch it, you can open it again... (Replied her mother, pushing her hand away from the wound)
-We're running out of food...(She said, looking at her sister who was sleeping in the car)
-What do you want to do...?
-I can go further... Trying to find something... We can't move the car and take Zoey will slow us down....
-No... I'm going to go... (Says her mother as she starts to leave)
-Mom.... Please... I've been watching her for days. I need to be alone... Let me go... Mom.... Please... I've been watching her for days. I need to be alone... Let me go...(She said, holding her mother's arm)
-I don't know.... (she said hesitantly)
-There's no one and who wants to come here anyway...?Please....
(After a long moment of hesitation, she finally gave in)
-All right.... But be careful with your wound, if it reopens, there is a good chance that you will faint....
-I will... I'll be back soon....! (She said, leaving very pleased)
-I've never seen anyone so happy to be alone... (She said as she joined Zoey in the car)
(As Elisa walks, looking for anything edible, She sees a fence a little open, she ends up going through it but scratches herself a little with the fence but doesn't pay attention once she passes she notices a large prison in the distance)
(She doesn't move, amazed by the size of the prison, she tries to look to see if people are present in it but doesn't see anything, then footsteps come in this direction, she tries to hide)
-I'm su....I he...rd som... hing....
-M... gg...... T...er...' n...thi....
-L..ok at the fe... ce w... fo... ed!
-Ma... e you wer.. rig..t...
-Bl...od...?
-A wal...k..r..?
-No, i... fre..sh.... It's go....i... do.... the..r...
(Elisa hadn't noticed that the scratch had touched this wound, she is losing blood, she is breathing hard and can hardly hear anything)
(Elisa sees two people in front of her)
-Shit...(She said before collapsing)
(She ends up waking up in a closed cell)
-What the.... (She said as she stood up)
(She looks for her knife but can't find it)
-Logic...
(She notices a boy her age stopping in front of this cell, they look at each other but don't say anything)
-Carl goes further, okay?(Says a man's voice getting closer)
(As Elisa steps back, hearing the man get closer, she saw a man in sheriff's uniform approaching her cell)
-Do you recognize me...? (He asks)
(Elisa looks at him strangely, she recognized him)
-You recognized me...(He said with a smile)
-I'm glad you made it... (He said, looking at the wound on her ankle who was bander)
(There is a long silence and then the sheriff speaks again)
-Your name is....?
-Why should I tell you...?
(A woman laughs behind the wall, the sheriff laughs in turn
-You're right... If I tell you my name, that's okay with you...?
-You will be less unknown.... Go ahead...
"My name is Rick...Rick grimes....and you are....? (he said, waiting for his name as agreed)
-Elisa...I don't like my last name so I won't say it....(she said, looking at the ground)
(Rick laughs again)
-All right... I have a name, that's what I wanted....
-I have to go.... (She said, afraid of his reaction)
-Why...? (Rick asks, and he gets serious again)
-I... I can't say...
(A long silence passes)
-Do you have people outside...?
(Elisa jumps at rick's word, she was afraid he would find out
-I see....(He said as he puffed)
-We won't be coming back here...I wasn't planning to come here.... (Elisa talks very fast)
(An old man with a crutch starts whispering something to Rick, a minute goes by and then Rick talks to the
-Carl... Take her to the entrance....
(The boy named Carl motioned for me to follow him, Elisa comes out and sees the woman laughing earlier, it was a colored woman with a katana, as she walk behind Carl she sees a lot of people, there was a grey-haired woman, a dark-haired woman accompanied by an Asian man, there was also a blonde girl holding a baby and a long-haired man she recognized as the one who shot the arrow at her)
(When he gets in, Carl opens the gate and hands him a knife)
-It's yours, isn't it...?
-Yeah... Thanks.... (She said as she took it)
-Hey...(says Carl)
(Elisa lifts her head to look at him
-You can always come back...Even with your family....
-We know how to manage... But thank you....(She said before leaving, smiling at him)
-You are welcome whenever you want....(he says as Elisa walks away)
