T-DOG CALLED out for the others. the group rushed over to the well that dale and t-dog were staring down. faye peered down the well meeting eyes with a bloated walker splashing around in the water. "ew what the fuck!" she exclaimed

"language." lori muttered "how long do you think it's been down there?" glenn asked. "long enough to grow gills." andrea placed her hands on her hips.

"we can't leave it in there. god knows what it's doing to the water." lori stated placing her hands on fayes shoulders.

"we gotta get it out." shane said "oh really shane? didn't know that thanks man." faye sarcastically spoke crossing her arms.

the group came up with a plan to send someone down on a rope to tie the walker and pull it out. faye voted to send shane down as a sacrifice but lori shut the idea down making her pout. the others agreed on sending glenn down which faye couldn't understand why they'd send a valuable, smart man down as a sacrifice instead of a ugly egg headed prick.

"don't die please." faye patted glenn's back as shane tied him to the rope. "thanks faye, ill try not to." he gave a sarcastic smile

it was all going fine until the hydrant the rope was wrapped around ripped out the ground. the groups screams pierced fayes ears as she froze. she felt helpless. she couldn't save him. she was gonna lose him. she thought as she froze, her eyes widened and eyebrows raised.

the group eventually managed to pull glenn out. he layed there on the ground for a few moments catching his breath, lori softly rubbing his back.

"back to the drawing board." dale muttered. "says you." glenn grinned handing dale the rope with the walker attatched.

the group began pulling the walker out the well, faye stood at the top peering over the well telling them how much closer. they kept pulling as the walker reached the top. one tug too hard and the walker split in half, its guts on display for everyone

"holy shit that reeks." faye gagged as t-dog plunged his axe into the walkers head.

later on that day, shane, carol and andrea headed back to the highway to see if sophia had turned up. at this point faye had lost all hope of finding sophia she knew deep down if she was in her situation she wouldn't have survived either.

since glenn was on a supply run with maggie and dale being boring on watch. faye decided to pay a visit to her bestfriend. she sat on the chair next to the bed, her knees up to her chest.

"you better live or im gonna be pissed." faye spoke as if he could hear her. "when you're all better we should sneak into the woods and go look for a fox." she smiled softly imagining the moment.

lori walked into the room a few minutes later "sorry, i got a bit lonely everyone's busy." faye rambled standing up getting ready to leave "it's okay, bug." lori smiled receiving a smile back from faye.

"hey faye?" lori called out softly "yeah?" she peeked her head back through the door "you dont need to be so alone all the time, you know. you have me." lori gave the girl another smile. faye simply nodded her heart warm from the feeling of comfort.

the girl wandered outside meeting eyes with her dad who was coming out of the RV. "you're back." she mumbled wrapping her arms around the man. "of course i am." he messed up the girls hair affectionately.
