Above is what you give to Soph in a few chapters.

I showed her how to make a fire and she smiled. "Who taught you all of this?"  I looked at the small flame. "I taught myself. I was lonely so I ended up alone majority of my childhood."

She nodded. I quickly killed the fire. "Your turn." She slowly did as I taught her and built a tipi and made sparks with the little tools I gave her. She fist bumped the air when she saw that it actually wasn't hard to do and made us a fire.

I smiled at how determined She was. She gaped at me. "Mr. Daryl was right.." I tilted my head. She smiled. "You have a really pretty smile!" I giggled.

It was getting pretty late and I knew it.. "Ok Soph. This next part you might not like.." She looked at me puzzled. "Well since we don't wanna get eaten by walkers.. And there are no tents or sleeping bags.." I smirked. "You are going to learn to sleep in a tree."

She giggled and I helped her up into a tall tree. Her branch was about 8 feet up. I got in the tree next to her, our branches nearly touched because they were perpendicular. Mine just curved to be under hers so if she fell, I'd catch her.

She almost fell but I taught her how to balance on it. I even gave her a rope to tie around her chest so she was tied to the truck. "Night.."  "Night Soph."

Rick's Pov

"You what?!" I gulped trying to calm Daryl down. "We got separated. I had no choice! It was their only chance for survival.."

He growled and turned to everyone else. "We find them in the morning." Carol was crying even harder. "You're just going to leave my baby out there all alone?"

Dale shook his head. "She isn't alone. She's got that girl." Carol scoffed. "Yea, that girl we barely know.. Not even her name. No one even knew she has the cure or was related to a man at the CDC! How can I trust her?!"

Daryl got in her face. "Because she's the only thing keeping your little girl alive." She broke down and Daryl walked off. I heard the sound of metal being hit and saw that he punched a huge dent into the RV.

I sighed and turned to Lori. She held Carl close. "Mom? Is Sophia gonna die?"
