Hailey hears an engine roar. she turns around and is faced with 2 cars, 3-4 people in each.

"Dammit" she mumbles. she takes her gun out. "Don't come any closer" she says pointing the gun at the people coming out of their cars, her voice breaking with fear.

"wouldn't think about it." one of them answers. his face shadowed due to the head lights shining behind him.

Rachel and Carl get back to the camp and Spencer is waiting there for her.

"where were you?" he whisper yells as they walk back to the tent Rick made them share.

"we were exploring okay?" she lies not wanting to talk about it.

"exploring? in the middle of the night? during the apocalypse? bullshit." he answers removing his t-shirt.

"you aren't my dad Dr. Reid." she states.

"i would never think on that." he smiles, "hey... chill out okay?" he holds her cheeks making her look him in the eyes, kissing her softly. "now go to sleep."

she nods.

The Next Morning

Rachel gets out of the tent and stretches as she sees carl walking into the woods.

"hey! where are you going?" she asks jogging up behind him.

"walking." he answers twirling the knife around in his hands.

"this early in the morning? i don't think it's safe." she answers as he rolls his eyes.

"like i could care less the world has gone to shit." he replies starting to walk away.

"do you have a death wish?" she asks grabbing his bicep pulling him back.

"maybe i do!" he spits pulling away and walking into the woods.

"don't feel bad." a voice says behind her. "he lost his mom at the camp a couple of days ago... she was giving birth.. he had to, ya know." the grey haired lady states sympathetically.

"wow...." was all she could get out.

hailey sighs as she looks at the strange men looking at her.

"Oh god." she says.

"I'm Hailey, you are all welcome back at my camp if it's agreeed with the leader. So um hop in if you want." she gestures to her car.

"hello princess I'm Damon. That Stefen, stiles and Scott." The tall one says, he seems to be the alpha of the group.
"Hello" she does a small wave.

"get in if you want but I have to go now whether you come or not" she puts her hands on her hips and gets in her car. They follow after a few minutes.

"We'll check it out princess see if we fit. If there's any more like you I'm sure we will"

they had no seat belt on as she starts the car speeding off quickly making Damon fly forward hitting his head. "Seatbelts" she says as she hears his friends click their seat belts on. Damon grunts. they get back to camp handing them off to Rick letting him deal with them. Hailey sees Glenn and smiles at him. "They were dicks." she says as he laughs continuing to eat his fish.

------

Rachel decides to follow Carl until she realizes how far away they are getting from the camp

"hey! hey!" she calls out as he walks down the abandoned road alone. "hey stop!"

he obliges and turns around. Carl looks annoyed that she followed him this far away from the camp.

"what's your problem? why are you so worried about me?" he says walking towards her.

"do you expect me to not be worried after you decide to kiss me like that last night?" she asks him.

"i-i don't know Rachel." he answers.

she grabs his hands, "look Carl-"
and that's when they both hear it. screams of agony and gun shots. coming in the direction of the camp.

"we-we gotta go..." she says grabbing the gun from his holster and running in the direction.

he follows quickly.

Hailey screams as she sees Amy getting bit into. she takes out her gun and starts shooting the things. Damon and his men join in and soon everyone is frantically trying to kill off the horde.

Rachel runs back to camp and horror washed over her face as she screams three words in utter terror.

"please not again!"
