"we gotta get out here." Rachel pulls Rick's arm. Dale tries to run but slowly gets taken down by three or four of those monsters.
"no! i'm not leaving Dale!" he says shooting more of those lifeless things.
"please Rick, before more of us go." she pleas.
"okay." he nods, "everyone get to the cars we gotta go!"
Hailey runs with Glenn and Damon's group to her car.
Rachel was broken up from the rest of the group and pulled into a car with Carol and Carl, she allowed Carl to go to the front seat with Carol whilst I sat in the back quietly. Carol hadn't stopped driving for two days but the two of us managed to sleep at some point after that horrible event.
Hailey and the group finally arrived at another safe zone they were planning to move to at the end of the week. as they all piled out of the car Hailey realized we were missing people. "Rick! Carol and some other people aren't here!" she calls to the leader.
"dammit, well pull back and spilt up. We can meet back here tomorrow. Go!" he instructs.
they all got back into the cars.
"Okay I'm not driving and neither is Glenn because we've already drove for like ever." Hailey says her Miami accent a bit more forced than usual leaving Glenn a bit confused.
"okay babe I'll drive" Damon smirks.
"Damon I swear if you call her that one more time-" I cut Glenn off by slapping Damon in the face to bring him back to their task.
"Drive" he spits and Damon obliges with one last eye roll.
Hailey sat in the middle of the van with stiles and Stephen. Glenn and Scott sat in the back and Damon drove with Isaac in the passenger seat.

"Rachel! Rachel are you okay? stay with me okay?" a faint voice calls out for her.
she open her eyes momentarily and slightly to see a brown haired figure standing over her.
"...carl." she faintly makes out before closing her eyes again.
he caresses her face.
"i'm here..." she hears his calming voice along with utter chaos in the background. the sounds of the monsters presumably dubbed 'walkers', knifes cutting through skulls and a raging fire. even the moans of a human, the person sounds hurt but soon her vision doubles, and then fades to black.
"RACHEL! PLEASE WAKE UP!" a voice yells as her body gets jolted around. she opens her eyes to see carl carrying
her away from the raging fire and walkers."what happened carl?" she ask still weak.
"we got into a wreck, we are too far out... i-i don't know what we are gonna do." he says.
----
Hailey and her group continue driving until they see a car crash. "Stop" she tells Damon, they pull over and see it's one of the cars from the camp. "They can't be far let's go." Hailey takes the lead as they start to scavenge the area for the three missing members of the camp.
-----
Rachel washes his wound with the left over water she has in her backpack.
"ow," he winces.
she moves his longer hair away from his eyes.
"you're dad is gonna find us soon okay," she assures him.
he nods, "why did he leave me?"
"oh god carl don't say that, he didn't mean to..." she says sympathetically.
"i don't know anymore," he seems frustrated and ready to get this life over with, something you should never see in a sixteen year old, something she shouldn't have seen in herself either.
"Carl you know he loves you." she says trying to make things better.
"stop talking to me like i'm a kid!" he snaps, "we both know the bullshit that is ravaging this world! none of us our kids anymore."
"i'm sorry." she answers looking away from the brown haired boy in front of her.
"what did you have to go through to get here!? you're story is nothing like what i had to go through." he stands up and so does she.
"are you serious?!" she asks anger brimming her words. "i watched my soul mate get eaten alive by one of those things! my parents were dead by the time i got home from school.. i watched my boyfriend follow me for more than three days because i couldn't muster up the courage to kill him! i had to kill Spencer's co-worker that i barely knew! you don't know me carl." she spat.
"i'm sorry..." he says.
"once your dad finds you i'm leaving this group and more importantly, i'm leaving you." she finishes tears sparkling in her eyes every last bit of hope she had for everything to get better, for her to love again; was obliterated.
