The start

We ain't dead

Carol and Daryl gear up as I wait for them by the doors. They walk over to me and throw two containers as I catch them.

"You coming with us?" Daryl asked.

"Yeah, thought you guys would need some help. Since Jay is going with the others." I lean off of the doors and open them.

"Alright just keep up." Daryl smirks as we walk out the doors.

"Who are you telling to keep up? I remember back in the group you were the one trailing behind." I smirk.

We walk around a while and notice a small creek. Carol slides down a muddy slope as I run after her slipping myself. Daryl runs down the muddy slope managing not to fall in it. He walks over to me to see if I got hurt but I sat there laughing.

"The hell is wrong with you?" Carol gets up and walks over to the creek to fill up her two containers.

"Gotta have a little fun right? World is shit might as well make it enjoyable." I cock an eyebrow.

Daryl helps me up as we fill up our containers. After filling up our containers we head back to the church. Daryl and Carol were having a conversation. I didn't know if they wanted me to ease drop on it or have any opinions so I kept my mouth shut. From what they were talking about, it seemed like Carol did something bad. For what ever she did there had to be a reason for it. Makes me feel like they are really close. I can't help but feel jealous. We walk a little further and see a car pulled over to the side. Carol tries to start it but the engine dies. She pops the trunk open and looks inside.

"Hey. We ain't dead. And whatever happened, happened. Let's start over." Daryl says. 'Lets start over'. Wow.

"I want to." Carol gives in. I'm really curious to what happened.

"Well, you can." Three walkers stumble forward as I set the water containers down.

"I got this." I pull out my knife and walk my way to the walkers.

The first one I kick the back of its knees down so it falls to the ground. The next walker I push it down. The third Walker, I stab it in its eye as its body limps to the ground. I turn around and see the second Walker standing back up as I go up and stab it in its throat then again in its forehead. I push its head off of the knife as it falls to the ground. I walk up to the last walker before my knife hit it, an arrow shoots right through it.

"I said I got it." I look over at Daryl. The only person who would be shooting arrows.

"I know. " He smirks throwing his crossbow back over his shoulder.

"We should leave this here for backup in case things go south at the church." Carol slams the trunk close.

"Want me to carry one of those?" Daryl says as his water container slips out of his hands.

"No." Carol smile slightly as she tries to hold back of laugh. Daryl picks up his container as we continue walking down the road.

We get back to the church and noticed Abraham working on the short bus. He must really want to get to Washington. I over heard them saying that the guy with the mullet, Eugene has the cure to the infection. It's amazing what one person could know could save the whole entire world. If he has the cure for infection he could possibly have the cure for cancer. But that's not the thing that's causing this planet to be shit. We walk into the church and notice Carl holding Judith and Tyreese watching over them.

"Hey, you got some water. Glenn, Maggie and Tara went to go find ammunition. Dad, Michonne, Sasha, Bob and Jay haven't been back yet. Abraham is working on the bus. Rosita and Eugene are out there with him." Carl hands Judith to Tyreese.

"Alright, so we're just waiting on the food group." I sighed setting the water down. I slipped down into a pew resting my feet up in the one in front of it. The doors open revealing Maggie, Glenn and Tara.

"You should get some sleep. I heard Jay telling you the other night you need sleep." Maggie sits down in the pews next to me.

"I'll be fine. I got a hour or two of sleep. I can't sleep now. Not without Jay." I mumble.

"Ricks good with kids. He'll make sure that she comes back." Glenn sits down wrapping an arm around Maggie.

"Yeah, doesn't really give my hopes up until I see her alive. Still, not until we get settled in."

"We are sett--," Maggie starts but I cut her off.

"Not exactly, I mean how long are we staying here? Does this Father Gabriel, priest guy think that we're going to stay here forever? From what we talked about we're heading to Washington, that correct?"

"Rick hasn't decided yet." Glenn says.

"Yeah well whatever he decides were going with him. Jay and I." Rick walks through the door rolling in carts of canned food. Each member comes in except Jay. Panic sets in.

"Where is she?" I walk up to Rick. Rick takes a large container off of the rolling cart and sets it on a front pew.

"Outside." I went to turn around as he grabs my arm. My eyes follow his hand up to his eyes.

"She did good. Saved Gabriel's life."

"Thank you." I smile lightly. He nods his head and finishes unloading the cart.
