"I can see you. Come out. Slowly." Carol stated, her car wrecked and bullets holes covered the windshield as blood was spilt on the gravel under her feet.

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass on that." A man stated while there was a yell and one gunshot.

<><><>

In the middle of the forest, Natalie cradled herself between the back of the bike and Daryl as she couldn't understand why he was being so quiet. She knew that he didn't want her to leave, but she couldn't risk her lovers life if she were to one day change. She was scared that she would live in her mind and watch herself kill Daryl in her sleep.

Daryl held the Dennis keychain in his hand while he looked over it and Natalie held his hand and kissed his cheek. "It is not you're fault." She breathed to him.

He blinked slightly and allowed a tear to slip from his eyes as she hugged him. He nods his head and starts the bike while revving his engine and heading to the gate. He stopped and Natalie started opening the gate for him.

"Where are you two going?" Rosita asked.

"Out." Daryl stated while Natalie looked to Abraham.

"Let is go, Abraham." She stated and looked to the ginger.

"No, shit. You got specifics?" Abraham asked and the two didn't answer while they went off quickly, leaving dust behind them.

Natalie and Daryl didn't want to leave Denise's body, they had to bury it. Natalie knew how much blame Daryl was taking for her death, and she knew to protect him by helping him.

Daryl and Natalie both got off the bike and started trekking down the path towards her body.

He then started tracking down Dwight and using his skills to follow his footprints. Daryl wanted to end this. When he heard a branch snap, he aimed his bow and shot a warming arrow at Rosita who glared at the archer. She grabbed it and made her way over to the two. "Watch the hell out, asshole." Rosita grumbled.

"I did. You shouldn't have come." Daryl grunted.

"You shouldn't have left. The both of you." Michonne stated.

"When I split off from Sasha and Abraham, he was out there in the woods, in the burned-out forest with them girls, put a gun to my head, tied me up. I even tried to help him." Daryl told them and Glenn shook his head.

"So, you think it's your fault?" Glenn asked and Natalie pushed Glenn.

"Stop." She stated.

"Yeah, I know it is. I'm gonna go do what I should've done before." Daryl told them and stalked off.

"What, for her? She's gone, man. You're doing this for you." Glenn tried to reason.

"Man, I don't give a shit." He mumbled.

"Daryl... we need to get back there and figure this out from home. Our home. We need you, and everyone back there needs us right now. It's- - it's gonna go wrong out here." Glenn told him.

"We'll square it. I will. I promise you. Just come back." Michonne tried to say.

Daryl looked to Natalie as she shook her head. "We can't." Be mumbled walked away.

"Daryl, Natalie." Glenn argued.

"Man, I can't!" Daryl yelled while Natalie followed after him.

"I'm sorry, but he's right." She stated and walked with him, holding his hand.

"I can't either." Rosita said while following the couple.

Glenn and Michonne walked away, not following them.

Daryl and Natalie looked to each other and talked silently with one another as Rosita looked at them. "You two really want to keep me in the dark?" She asked while Natalie sighed and placed her hands on her hips.

"Rosita, why are you here?" She asked and she sighed.

"Because it was my fault as well." She told her and Natalie sighed as she gave her a small smiled and nods her head, making their way to find Dwight and ending this madness.

They saw Glenn and Michonne tried yo woke they were both shouting and before Natalie to Daryl could get a good shot, a gun clicked. "Hi, Daryl." He stated and a gunshot went off as blood splattered all over Natalie's face as she screamed.
