Lexi's POV

We've all been walking for a few days. My waters all gone and there's no creek or anything in sight. The wind rays beat down on my skin that lets off a small burning sensation. I have a small jacket on so it won't burn my skin.

  I look up at Carl, who's face is covered in sweat. He had a slight burn across his cheeks and his eyes met mine. He reached in the back of his bag and pulled out his half full water bottle.

" here." He said  and handed it to me. I looked at it for a few seconds before taking it and sipping it slowly, letting the cool water run down my throat. I twisted the cap back on and put it back in its slot. Carl intertwined our figures and I laid my head on his shoulder as we walked.

  Rick handed me Judith as we stopped at a bridge.

"Take Judith to the other side." He told me and I nodded. I walked to the end of the bridge and watched as the other pushed the walkers off the side. Sasha started going 'crazy' and stabbing them to death. Rick started yelling at her and she walked past me. Rick walked up to me and gave me a weak smile before taking Judith from my hands.

  We started walking in the same direction until Daryl broke the silence.

" I'm going to look for water." He said and walked into the woods without another word. We all took a break when thunder erupted my thoughts.

  I looked up and felt a cold drop on my face. I smiled as rain poured down from the skies. Rick covered up Judith and I dropped my bag to the ground and smiled. I hugged Carl as out wet clothes clinched together.

He placed his lips on mine and smiled as we pulled away. I squealed as the rain soaked my body.

" hey, I found a barn." Daryl said coming out of the woods.

  We followed Daryl to a huge ran hard at the edge of a field and the woods. We walked in and it was clear. I found a small stall and grabbed a stripped long sleeve shirt and some old, patched jeans. I put my combat boots back on and put my hair in a messy fishtail braid. I gathered all my stuff and went and sat on a pile of hay next to Carl.

" I hope this place will be safe for a few days." I said and he nodded.

  The wind picked up as the heavy storm flew in. Walker knocked at the doors as we held them back with all our power.

  I knew that the barn would hold but what if we get blocked in?

  After a while the stormed died down and I laid down next to Carl and went to sleep.
