A man covered in blood was carrying a deer with a thing of gasoline and dragging it across the forest ground. The sun had just risen, no one was awake. Especially Natalie who was curled into Daryl chest, both bare from any clothing as they clung to each other.

The walkers of the prison were silent, and a rock was thrown at one of them, making them scatter over towards the sound. That's when the smell of flesh filled their noses and they bent down to eat the dead deers hide. The pieces of flesh were left as a way to guide them away.

As they were eating, the man rushed over towards the locked gate and started cutting the chain off. He opened the gate quickly and placed the heart over by the opening, to lure them out and into the safe prison area.

Natalie woke up with the sunlight hitting her face. She yawned slightly and buried her body further into Daryl's warmth. The man laughed at her, only for the girl to glare at him. "Five more minutes." She complained and he traced his fingers down at her sides.

"More like an hour, you're late." He told her and her eyes widened while looking over the sun that was way over the tree line.

"Shit." She mumbled and got up while rushing to put clothes on. The man watched her struggle as she pulled her hair into a messy bun. "How do I look?" She asked while wiping her face free from any dirt or muck and he smiled at her.

"Like a million bucks." He told her and she nods her head while grabbed her sword and tying the holder to her pants loop.

"Okay, I love you." She whispered and kneeled down to kiss his lips roughly.

She then pulled away with a smirk and left leaving the man alone. "Love you too!" He yelled at her and she laughed while running towards the group who was moving the cars for a fast evacuation plan.

"Okay, let's get the other car in. We'll park 'em in the West entry of the yard." Rick stated and T-Dog nods his head.

"Good. Our vehicles camped out there look like a giant 'vacancy ' sign." He told Rick while hoping into the other car.

"After that, we need to load up these corpses so we can burn 'em." Rick told them and then saw Natalie run up.

"Gonna be a long day." T-Dog stated and Rick smiled over the girl to see her glowing brightly from her extra hour.
