Just a Dream

On The Road

Mia was leaning on Ava's shoudler. "How long will this trip be?" Mia asked.

"Well not too long," my dad said. "We walked here in about a day."

"Ugghhh! I want to sleep!" Mia looked really tired. "What about the next stop?"

Glenn and my dad looked at each other. "How far are we from Hershel's farm?" They asked at the same time.

My dad chuckled. "I guess it's no good if either of us doesn't know."

"I remember that the farm wasn't too far from Atlanta." Glenn looked down. "Maybe it wasn't too far from the prison. Those nine months before the prison are a blur to me."

Suddenly the truck braked and we went sliding forward. Mia grabbed Ava tightly and Ava grabbed me tightly. The truck stopped and my dad went to open the door. Abraham beat him to it.

"There's people out here. They look to be okay." Abraham sounded confident.

My dad jumped out the back and followed Abraham. Even though I knew he would get mad, I still followed him. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Daryl and Beth were standing in front of us. "Oh my God," my dad said as he hugged them. Glenn came out as well as Ava.

"Did you see anyone else get out?" Glenn asked. "Did you see Maggie?"

Beth shook her head. "I went to look for the kids and when I came back I only saw Daryl. The bus had already left."

"I did see Tyreese run towards the back of the prison. Looked like he was carrying something," Daryl cut in.

"Could it have been Judith?" I asked.

Daryl sighed. "Possibly. The way he was holding whatever it was did look like how someone would hold a baby."

Ava suddenly came up next to me. "I knew we would get a sign that she was still alive."

My dad patted her shoulder. "Don't get too excited. He said he wasn't totally sure."

"Where y'all headin?" Daryl asked.

"Back towards the prison. Then towards Atlanta." my dad said.

Abraham stepped forward. "After that we are going to D.C. We have the man who could possibly stop this whole virus with us."

Beth had a weird look in her eyes. "Why would you save one of the walkers?"

"It would protect us from becoming one of them," Abraham said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get going," Daryl interrupted.

We got back in the back of the truck and shut the door. The engine started and we continued driving down the road.
