Maggie's pov

Who are you? I asked cautiously. He looked at me and then his eyes averted behind me. I turned around and saw Bella hobbling on her good leg. There really is no staying put for that girl.

Bella you need to rest if you want that leg to heal I said. She shook her head no.

"I can't sit around all day I need to do something" she said in her defense with a small smile. Daryl came up behind her shaking his head.

"She won' listen tah me. I tol' her tah stay put " he said annoyed. When I turned back around I saw that guy staring her up and down so I cleared my throat.

So who are you? I asked again.

"I'm Max. I saw you guys help the priest guy so I wanted to know if I could be a part of your group" he said slowly. Rick then chimed in.

"How many walkers have you killed?" Rick asked.

"Too many to count" Max replied.

"How many people?" Rick asked.

"Two" he replied looking guilty.

"Why?" Rick asked knitting his eyebrows together.

"Because one asked me to, and the other got bit" he said sadly.

Do you have any weapons? I asked.

"Just these" he replied showing us his gun and knife. Rick nodded his head like he was thinking something over.

Ok Rick I say yes what about you? I asked as he stood next to me.

"I'll think about it, I'm not gonna let my guard down" he replied.

Carls pov

I was outside looking at the church to see if everything was boarded up alright, but as I passed by a window I saw that there were scratches all over it like someone was trying to get in. And not too far away on the side of the church it said,

'You'll burn for this'.

Gabriel must've done something bad then my dad came over, I was surprised that he had gotten back from the food run that quick.

"We found food, and a lot of it" he said standing next to me.

Good I replied. I then showed him the knife markings on the window sill and the words carved into the side of the church. He didn't seem to be very happy with that. We both heard a twig snap and we turned around to see some guy about 18 years old coming towards us.

Dad led him inside and started to talk to him. Bella came out of the back room limping. I sighed she really needs to be resting. After dad asked him the three questions he came over to me.

"Carl I need to talk to you" dad said. I sat down on one of the wooden benches and he crouched down in front of me. He sighed before speaking.

"Carl no matter what you are not safe. No matter how many people are around, no matter how clear the place is, no matter you think, you are not safe" dad said. He then stood up and started to walk away.

Hey dad? I know I'm not safe, but saving people it's what we do I said looking up at him. He nodded his head and a ghost of a smile came across his face before he turned around and began walking away again.

Bella's pov

This Max guy is kinda creeping me out. Whenever I look up he's staring at me, like seriously look somewhere else. I limped my way outside picking up my crossbow on the way out.

I needed to hunt, I know that I'm not in the best shape right now but it gets my mind off of things. I heard a rustling noise from my left. I turned and saw a snake. A small smile came across my face. I positioned my crossbow, holding it as steady as I could and then I shot it.

I picked it up by its head and carried it back into the church. I saw Daryl sitting in the corner, and that Max kid in the opposite corner staring at me. I shook my head and continued towards Daryl.

"Hey dad I need help skinning this thing" I said. He held a small smirk when he saw the snake in my hand.

"Alrigh' Rambo let's do this" he said. Rambo. I smiled at the old nickname he had given me when we first met. I took out my knife and sat down in front of him. I chopped its head off and put it to the side.

"Hold it up like this" he said. So I grabbed it from where its head was previously and then he ripped the skin off of it. Daryl set it on the ground and started to cut it into pieces. We cooked it and ate that for dinner.

Daryl and I were the only ones that had it since Rick had earlier went on a run and came back with loads of food. Rick had Judith in his lap, and Carl sat next to me. Daryl went outside about twenty minutes ago and hasn't come back yet, maybe he just went hunting?

"However this plays out. However long it takes for the reset button to kick in we can be safe there. Safer than we been since this whole thing started. Come with us. Save the world for that little one." Abraham said. Rick looked to Judith, and then at Carl.

Everyone was looking at each other. I wanted to go to Washington, hell if Eugene knows this cure I'm in. Rick smiled and Judith made a noise.

"What was that?" Rick asked Judith.

"She knows what I'm about to say. She's in. If she's in, I'm in" Rick said smiling. We heard a few 'woos' go around the room and some laughter. I smiled as well as Carl. I turned to face him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. He intertwined our fingers together, I rested my head on his shoulder and took a look at everyone in the room.
