You knew Carl from before all this happened. Your moms were best friends and would sip wine on your back porch while the two of you played pretend in the backyard. The day the world went to shit, you were dismissed from school early and Lori had to...

"There's no room." Carl says and you and Enid groan.
"I need to be with Maggie I need to make sure she's ok!" Enid pleads, but Carl just shakes his head.
"There's nothing I can do ok?! Plus you guys should stay and help keep this place safe in case the Saviours come." You bite your lip and exchange looks with Enid. The two of you were really concerned for Maggie and her illness, but there were already a ton of people going to Hilltop. Rick calls for Carl and he looks at the two of you.
"Bye Enid." he says and she just looks away before trotting off annoyed. Then Carl locks eyes with you.
"Please be safe ok?" you say, your voice filled with worry.
"Some of us are staying up there, but a few of us will be back later tonight, ok? I'll be back later tonight." He tries comforting you and puts his hand on your shoulder. You look into his eyes, taking in every detail of his face, then he pulls you into a tight hug. His warm body envelopes yours and you hope it's not the last time you get to feel him. As he pulls out of the hug he leaves a long, sweet kiss, leaving your lips feel like they're buzzing. You wave everyone off as they speed out of Alexandria.
"Fuck, I hope nothing bad happens..." you say to yourself
Later that night...
You lay in Enid's bed with her, arm trapped under her head, as she's fast asleep. But you just can't manage to even close your eyes. All you can think about is "What if Maggie doesn't make it? What if the saviours come here? What if the Saviours find the group on the road...?" You arch your head over Enid and look at her alarm clock. The time looks to be around 3am, which makes you feel a bit more nervous. They left in the afternoon, shouldn't they be back? Your mind is a complete mess, so you decide to sneak out; staring at the ceiling isn't helping anything. You slide your arm slowly out from under Enid's neck, (thankfully she's a heavy sleeper) and you get dressed, grab your bag, and head outside. You climb over the walls, as you always do, and dismount on the muddy ground.
You head the same general direction as Hilltop, thinking maybe you'll meet up with the RV on their way back. But as you travel deeper and deeper, you notice the tracks on the road are erratic and go several different directions in the mud. It doesn't look like they had a good trip... Daryl thankfully taught you a thing or two about tracking so you try following the tracks, and up ahead you see light radiating from a clearing and several vehicles parked in a circle. Upon further inspection, your heart drops. You see the RV parked right in the middle of all the cars. You try keeping your thoughts straight so you can come up with a plan. You head straight into the woods to the left and try trudging through there to get a better look. Each step you take is as quiet as possible, making sure no one sees or hears you. But to your surprise there was already someone else doing the same. You see a big bearded guy lock eyes with you. He raises his gun to take you out, but before he can you raise your gun and headshot him. The silencer on your pistol saves you from being noticed by any other saviours, but you know you need a stealthier way to get around. You search in the dark for a while, trying to think of a plan, and then you look up. The dense forest has a thick layer of tree branches, perfect for climbing on.
