I back up slowly, letting one get close enough for me to stab it in the head. One down. I pull my crossbow over my shoulder and shoot one. That's two. I jump on top of a produce display and ready up another bolt.I shoot another, and it takes down two. I lose my footing though, and a walker is right on me. I struggle with it before it takes me down. I manage to push its head far back enough, and slip my knife under it's chin. 

I push the dead guy off me, and quickly shoot the other three in the head. I run through the aisles, grabbing as much as I can. I know that the shots will have attracted more walkers. I run with the cart to the truck and quickly unload the items, as I see walkers pouring onto the street, I decide to throw the shopping cart in there as well. I sprint to the door and get in, fumbling with the keys, I manage to start the car. 

I drive back to the camp, heart pounding. I haven't had to deal with that many walkers in a long time. I park the truck with the others, and when I get out, I hear people in the group frantically shouting my name. 

"Over here!" I call. I start to unload the groceries into the cart when I see Andrea running towards me. I smile at her. Which is met by a slap in the face. 

"What the fuck?" I yell, rubbing my face. 

"People were worried! Sophia is already gone, and now people were freaking out about you!" I notice her nostrils flaring and her face getting red as she yells. 

"Whatever. Couldn't you have seen the missing truck? Enjoy your supplies." I say weakly, before storming off into the woods. 

Daryl's POV. 

I wake up, and notice something strange, no heavy breathing in the tent. I sit up, and notice Mina isn't in the tent. I notice her book lying on the ground. I pick it up to see what she was writing. I'm shocked when I see a drawing of myself. I feel a small smile pulling at my lips. 

It's quickly withdrawn when I remember she isn't here. I open the tent flap and see Rick and Shane talking. 

"Have you seen Mina?" I ask. 

"Not since yesterday. Otis didn't make it, but we got a lot of supplies." Rick informs me. 

I don't care about Otis. Barely even talked to him. 

I rush over to Andrea. "Mina is gone. Have you seen her?" 

"No, I haven't, but I'll keep watch from the RV." She says with a sad look on her face. 

In about an hour, we've searched everywhere. "Mina! Mina!" I yell over and over again. I kick a rock and slump down to the ground. I decide to search the woods a little bit, but nothing. I go back to the tent and notice footprints. Shit, why didn't I think of this before. I start to follow the tracks when I hear a vehicle squeal to a stop. Apparently no one else heard it, because they're still calling for Mina. 

"Over here!" I hear her call from a truck, my truck . I walk towards hee but Andrea pushes passed me. I stop and wait. 

Andrea slaps Mina, knocking the poor girl to the ground. I see Mina mouth something before darting into the bush. I jog towards Andrea. 

"Good job." I say sarcastically. 

"She had people freaking out. She needed to learn to not just leave." Andrea says unfazed. 

"And you're going to get that across by slappin' her?" I scoff. "I'm gonna go find her. 

I walk into the bush noticing her footprints. They lead me to a rock, where I see her sitting, quietly crying.
