Night has fallen. We have been wondering the same forest for a week and have found nothing.

"Mary! Stop. We need to talk." Carly stops breathlessly. "We should rest."

"It's dark, we can't stop."

"And walking in the dark is a good idea?" She asks rhetorically.

"Fine. Whatever, but we camp in the trees."

"What?! Are you joking?"

"Carly it's safer. Safer than staying down where the walkers are." I say, starting to climb the old tree. Bits of it crumble againist my grip. I reach a safe branch and climb onto it, balancing myself on the large branch so I can sleep. "See! Easy."

"Ugh. You're not a 29 year old woman, Mary!" I put my fingers to my lips in a signal for her to shut up. She understands and starts climbing the tree.

"What did I tell ya?" I smirk while looking down at the ground below me. As a kid I would be startled to death by heights. If only I knew...

"Isn't it nice tonight?" I hear Carly mutter under her breath.

"Hell yeah it is."

~The next day~

"Where are we actually going?" Carly groans from behind me.

"I don't know."

"Hey! Hey! Stop." She shouts at me as I keep on walking. "Why don't we go to your town. Alexandria?"

"There's nothing but broken hearts and unmade promises there."

"What the fuck are you talking about? There's a chance there. And all because your pissy little friendship ended there doesn't mean you can't go. You're pathetic." I angrily step up to her, face-to-face.

"Say that again." I grit through my teeth obviously pissed. "I dare you."

"Are you threatening me, honey?"

"Whatever. You're not worth it." I walk off, pissed and leave Carly calling for my name.

CRASH

A massive crash sounds out and I run back to mine and Carly's fight scene and see her shaking in her boots.

"Did you hear that?!" I shout at her.

"Yeah! It's coming from the North of us!"

"We should head back to Alexandria. You were right..." I say unsure. I mean, is everyone gonna be pissed because I left? Fuck. Carl is gonna hate me. "What are you waiting for!? Come on!"

We start running and after awhile we end up walking breathlessly, I'm too tired and extremely hungry.

"We should rest-" Carly suggests but I cut her off completely.

"No. My family is there, I'm not stopping."

"Well at least eat something before you pass out."

"I'm not hungry. We can't waste resources." I say while stomping through the damp woods.

I stopped and stood there, unable to do anything. My eye sight became blurry and faded. I felt a rush come  to my head and felt extremely dizzy. My head felt like I was on fire yet a massive buzz came flying through me. The last thing I felt was the ground as I landed onto it. The crunch of the leaves and the cry of my name sent me into a dreamless sleep.

~Hours later~

I awoke to a large thud underneath me.

"Oh shit." I hear someone cuss and I look forward to see Carly driving. I just noticed that I'm now in a RV. Same one Rick took with him on his trip to stop the roaming walkers.

"Carly...?" I grunt our sitting up on the leather seat. It wasn't comfortable, like at all.

"Mary! Oh my god, thank god your awake."

"Yeah I guess. What happened?" I say, getting up off of the uncomfortable seat, to climb in the front with Carly.

"You passed out, 'Cause you didn't get enough food. Grab some lunch." I reach into her satchel and grab a can of noodles. Canned noodles, seriously? Ew. I still ate it anyway.

"There's a radio in here?" I ask as I grabbed the small walkie talkie that has 'Alexandria' written on the side of it. I press the button to call for someone. "Anyone there? Please respond."

Static sounded and our eyes widened in amazement and wonder.

"Say it again." Carly says.

"Help."

A/N

So a shorter chapter but idc tbh I'm tired and UGH.

Also while I am writing this there is an argument on Facebook and it's better than a movie xD. It's stupid but funny af

Anyway!

My friend beckymae02 has written such an amazing story and you guys should definitely check it out ♡

What's the prediction for next week's episode?

*Spoilers*

So in the comics there's this guy called Paul 'Jesus' Monroe who is apart of a community called the Hilltop I think and they're basically these people who are farmers and eat veg and fruit so I think that's who Rick and Daryl are gonna meet. He's freaking awesome and I can't wait.

The reason I think he's gonna be in the show is because in the sneak preview of the next episode, Eugene talks about a thing that makes really good corn or something and obviously Jesus will like that if he's a farmer. So maybe they find him a nd shit goes down.

ANYWAY
