The world has ended and there's more people dead than alive, and somehow Andie has ended up completely and utterly alone. Nowhere is safe, but she can't keep running. And after captivity turns to friendship and love, the teenager must decide what di...

"Are you sure it's smart to come back here?" Theo questions as he and Andie walk up outside the front door of the place they fled from last night.
"You're not cutting this bullet out of me with a hunting knife." She glances at him over her shoulder, holding the spot she's still bleeding from.
"And you have to know if Daryl made it out."
"Are you telling me that you don't wanna know?"
He sighs, knowing she's right. "Fine, but I'm going in first." He says, and she motions for him to enter ahead of her.
They had a hard time escaping the walkers in the woods, and they never found Merle and Luna out there. The pair has been trying to distract themselves — and each other — from what they're both thinking.
They lost Beth and Zoe, they have no idea where to even start looking for Merle and Luna, and Daryl might as well be dead for all they know. They were lucky to find any of their people before. Now, all they have is each other, and they're gonna have to find some way to be okay with that. At least for now.
"I think it's safe to say he got out." Theo says after they clear all three floors, killing what few walkers remained inside.
Andie lets out a deep breath, feeling some of the weight come off her shoulders. If he got away from the herd that made it inside, there's more of a chance that he's still alive somewhere.
"I don't know how the hell he got out of here." The brunette mutters as she looks at all of the dead walkers in the room downstairs.
"He's a survivor." He says as he pulls out some medical instruments. "Now let's get that bullet out of you."
"Alright, but no funny business. Don't go getting any bright ideas inspired by days of Dread Doctor past." Andie says as she pulls up her shirt to reveal the bullet hole. "I'm no experiment."
"That's not the kind of experimenting you and I enjoyed." He says as he walks over to her, and she shakes her head.
"Do you have to bring it back to the sex?" She questions, and he shrugs.
"Irritating you gives me something to do besides thinking about the last twelve hours." He says, and she takes a deep breath as she braces herself for the first incision.
It doesn't take too long for Theo to get the bullet out, and then they stuff some of the food from the cupboard into Andie's bag. Rather than resting like they probably should, the pair decide to head out again. Theo taps his knuckle on Beth's thank-you note before following after Andie.
