Flashback from the end of the last chapter:
Sophie then raised her hands slightly and Daryl took her in his arms.When Daryl had Sophie in his arms, he left the room with her and tried to leave Terminus as quickly as possible. After a while, Daryl saw the exit and went there and then made it into the forest, which Daryl then entered, while also keeping an eye on the little girl to make sure everything was okay as far as possible.
Now:
When Daryl had Sophie in his arms, he left the room with her and tried to leave Terminus as quickly as possible. After a while, Daryl saw the exit and went there and then made it into the forest, which Daryl then entered, keeping an eye on the little girl to see if everything was OK. Daryl continued to wander around the forest but kept an eye out for whether or not there were walkers or other dangers nearby. A while passed in which Daryl wandered around the forest and looked out for the others while he looked around when he suddenly heard a voice, but at the exact moment he looked in that direction when he heard the voice. "Daryl!" Carl said with relief as he saw Daryl, who then went in Carl's direction where the others were. "You got her," Rick said as Daryl was now with the group with Sophie in his arms, whereupon Daryl nodded and let Sophie down. "Sophie!" It came immediately from Rosita when she noticed Sophie and then immediately went to Sophie. "Mom!" came Sophie's frightened voice as she hugged Rosita as Rosita picked her up and held her in her arms. Rosita looked at her daughter and brushed the hair out of her face as she looked at Sophie, totally worried but also relieved. "Are you okay? We were so worried," came Rosita's worried voice as she looked at Sophie, who nodded while Abraham came over and kissed Sophie on the head. "Luckily you're fine, honey..." came Abraham's soft voice as he looked at Sophie while he had one arm around Rosita and the other on Sophie's shoulder. Meanwhile, Daryl saw someone coming towards the group, but when he saw who it was, he ran straight over. Daryl hugged the person who hugged him back and it was Carol who incidentally brought Daryl back his crossbow, which he then accepted and hung over his shoulder after the two had broken their embrace.
"After everything was "sorted out", the group left the place and decided on the way what they should do now. Carol told Rick where Tyresse was, so the group went to Tyresse, who was nearby in a hut with baby Judith. When the group arrived and were a few meters away from the house, Tyresse came out while he was holding Judith. When Rick saw the two of them, Rick immediately ran to Tyresse and Judith and Carl followed him. Rick then took Judith in his arms and whispered that everything was fine while Carl smiled with relief. Meanwhile, Sasha went to Tyresse and hugged him too, who hugged her right back. "Judith, you're fine," Carl said with relief while Rick kissed Judith on the head while the rest of the group smiled at the sight of Rick, Carl, Judith and Sasha and Tyresse. Briefly then Tyresse talked to Carol about how Tyresse had killed someone to protect Judth and that he had to do it. Meanwhile Rick looked in one direction because he saw smoke near where Terminus was. "I think the fire is still burning" came Rick's rather thoughtful reply while Carl held Judith a little further away and Michonne said something that made Judith laugh. Carol looked at Rick and answered a few seconds later. "Yes it is" came Carol's reply as she looked at Rick, who was now looking at her too. "Yes we have to get out of here" came Rick's reply as he looked back at the smoke, whereupon Daryl asked where they should go now. "Somewhere far away from there" came Rick's reply as he pointed to the burning Terminus, whereupon everyone except Abraham, Sophie, Eugene and Rosita slowly walked away.
Rosita, who was holding her gun, looked at Abraham when she saw the others leaving, whereupon Abraham assured her that they would talk to the others later, to which Rosita replied with a nod. Then Rosita, Eugene, Abraham and Sophie followed the others who landed at the tracks and continued walking. The group walked for a while and were now in the middle of the forest when they suddenly heard screams. "Be careful" came quietly from Rick as the group cautiously approached the noises, whereupon they saw a man on a higher rock and Eslner tried to reach the man. Carol "took care" of the first walker, Daryl of another and Rosita and Abraham killed the others while Carl gently pulled Sophie's arm and walked back a little with her while he held Judith in his arms and told Sophie that everything would be fine again soon, to which Sophie then nodded. "Everything seems to be clean," Rick said as all the walkers were killed. "But stay alert," Rick continued, whereupon a few in the group nodded before Rick turned to the man on the catfish. "Come down," Rick said coldly as he looked at the man, who then looked down to see if there really were no more walkers there before he came down from the rock, very fearful. The group looked at the man for a moment and after a few seconds Rick spoke up."Everything OK?" Rick then asked as he looked at the man who briefly... "Uh, you'd better look away," Carl then asked, who suddenly turned Judith, who was in his arms, to the side and he also turned Sophie away when Carl saw that the man had suddenly vomited. "Sorry," the man then said as he had regained his composure. "Thank you, I'm Gabriel," he continued as he looked at Rick again. Rick looked at him briefly before Rick spoke. "Do you have any weapons with you?" Rick then immediately became serious. "Does it look like I have any?" The man, who turned out to be Gabriel, asked nervously, and then looked at Michonne first before looking at Rick. "We don't care what anything looks like," Abraham said coldly but seriously as he looked at Gabriel, who then said that he didn't have any weapons with him, and Sophie also looked at Gabriel when Carl told her that she could turn around again. "The word of God is my only protection," Gabriel then explained as he looked back and forth between the individual members of the group. "Didn't look so good," Daryl said as he looked at Gabriel, whereupon there was a moment of silence.
"I...I hate to ask this...but h...do you have anything to eat?" Gabriel suddenly asked, breaking the silence, whereupon Carl took a bar out of his pocket and gave it to Gabriel, who thanked the boy with a smile, who then gave him a smile in return. A little later, Gabriel, Rick and Michonne were talking about a church because Gabriel said that he lived in a church because he prefers to be alone. Rick wanted to know if there was more to it, so he searched Gabriel for weapons but found none, so he decided that Gabriel should take the group to the church, to which Gabriel agreed. So the group plus Gabriel went to the church, with Gabriel going first and taking the lead, so to speak, for the way to the church.There was almost silence on the way, they could only hear baby Judith making some noises and Sophie and Carl talking something while Abraham and Rosita walked directly behind Carl and Sophie and the others walked in front of them and beside them and behind them.
That's it for the chapter, I hope you liked it
