In the morning, we packed up and continued through the forest. I had this weird feeling that I had recognized Tara from somewhere. After thinking for a while, then it hit me—she worked with the governor. She slowly walked up to me, and I nervously walked beside her.
"I know you've seen me before. I know what I did was wrong. I'm sorry," she apologized.
"I knew you didn't want to be there. Don't worry about it now. It's over," I smiled at her.
She put out her fist, expecting me to do the same. We fist-bumped and moved our hands away, making an explosion sound.

"Help! Help! Anybody!" An unfamiliar voice screamed.
Rick put his hand up, signalling us to stop and listen. Everyone held up their guns, and I looked toward the source.
"Dad, come on!" Carl kept insisting.
Rick started after the noise, and we all followed. What the hell? This could be a trap. Once we got there, four hungry walkers were crowded around a rock with a man on top, trying to kick them away. I grabbed a walker by its hair, pulling it towards me and stabbed it in the back of the head, Carl, Rick, and Daryl taking down the rest. I wiped my bloody knife on my jeans and panted from all the running.
The man was in a black suit and completely clean. A priest, I was guessing.
"Come on down," Rick reassured.
The man jumped down, bent over and puked. I put my sleeve over my nose to cover the smell.
"I'm Gabriel," the man introduced while wiping his mouth and straitening his collar.
"Do you have any weapons on you?" Rick interrogated.
"Do I look like I would have any weapons?" he smiled.
"We don't give two short and curlies what it looks like," Abraham interrupted, making me crack a smile.
"The word of God is the only protection I need," he sighed.
Judith cooed from Ty's arms, causing me to smile.
"That's a beautiful child," Gabriel smiled, and we all gave him a weird look.
