Daryl dropped his stuff and ran at me crying. He picked me up and swung me around. Harley was cuddled up on Zebs back. Safe and secure. Rick had a hold of Judith crying.

"Oh." I knelt down unlatching Harley from Zeb. "Meet Harley."

"How?" Daryl asked looking at the baby.

"The serum sped up the pregnancy. I don't know how." I shrugged.

Daryl took the baby from my arms and held onto him like if he didn't he would lose him.

"Here." Glenn said handing me folders. "I saved them from the prison."

"Thank you." I whispered taking them.

"Is that a god damn tiger!?" A new person shouted. "I did not sign up to travel with a tiger."

"Watch it Abraham." Rick warned. "You're meeting someone that could protect you or kill you. Choose wisely."

"The tiger is a someone?" He laughed.

"No but I am." I growled drawing a sword.

"Allison!" Everyone shouted at me.

I drew it back in and took a deep breath. "Watch it cowboy."

"The fuck are you?" He asked standing behind a small girl.

"She doesn't know." Rick answered.

"Eugene? Think you could take a swing at it?" The smaller girl asked.

"It'd take some time. And I need information." Eugene nodded.

I handed him my folders. "These might help."

"I thank you." He bowed. "I'll look over these and see what I can find."

"What's our next move?" Carol asked.

"We find somewhere that's safe. No matter the cost." Rick nodded.

"Let me have Harley." I told Daryl reaching for him. "He'll be fine." I assured.

I slung his sack back on Zebs back and tucked him securely inside of it making sure he couldn't slide out. Daryl knelt down placing a small kiss on his tiny head.

"Do you hear that?" One of the noobs asked looking around.

"Walkers." I nodded. "We need to move. Their attracted to the smoke."

We grabbed our gear and headed off down the road. We didn't have food or water and it was getting harder to survive. At least for everyone else.

"Allison, scout ahead. See if you find any water." Rick pointed into the woods. "Daryl see if you can shoot anything."

I jumped into the tallest tree I could find and kept from branch to branch trying to get a clear view of the woods and if any water was near by. But I didn't see anything.

"Help! Oh god please!" Someone shouted in the distance. "Somebody!"

I jumped and jumped until I found the source. Apparently the others were running towards it too. A man was stranded on a rock covered by five walkers trying to get him. I jumped down landing beside him on the rock. "You know if you hit them in the head, they'll die." I chuckled watching the others take them out.

"Allison, don't scare him. He's already freaked out." Rick shouted.

"Wh-what are you? The devil?" He asked panicked.

"No. Dear lord no."  I laughed. "I'm Allison." I took his hand helping him stand. "I'm just giving you facts."

"Who are you?" Rick asked the man. "And why are you out here if you don't know how to kill them?"

"I'm Gabriel. Father." The man spoke with a shaky voice. "I have a church."

"A church?" Rick asked. "Where?"

"It's just back that way. I never come this far, this was the first time." The man answered nervous.

"Take us." Rick nodded.

"Rick." I whispered. "We can't force him."

"We can. And we will." Rick grunted.

I stood in front of the man and drew a sword. "Then lower your gun. He clearly isn't going to hurt anyone."

"Don't try Allison." Rick growled.

"Or what? You'll shoot me?" I scoffed. "I took my last drop. So you can try. Lower your gun then he can show us."

"Fine." Rick chuckled holstering his gun. "But I'm not letting it go. You know in case it's a trap." 

"Never said you had to." I winked drawing my sword back in. "I'll be following through the trees. Zeb will stay here since he has Harley." 

I jumped up back into the tree and followed, making sure no other people were present. When I found none outside I jumped back down at the church and sat on the step waiting for the others. I didn't hear anything around the church or inside. So I'm assuming it's clear. 

"How'd you get here first?" Abraham laughed. "I thought you were following?" 

"I decided to go ahead." I nodded. "I didn't see anything by the way." 

"You're good." Sasha chuckled. 

"I know." I shrugged leaping up. "I didn't look inside yet though, figured Rick would want to." 

"You bet I would." He laughed drawing his gun. "Carl, gun up, get ready." 

"You got it dad." He nodded. 

Rick, Carl, Daryl and Michonne went inside to look around. I stood outside with the rest. 

"I'm Tara." The girl from the governors group whispered. 

"I seen you at the prison." I whispered back. "You looked scared."

"I was." She chuckled. "I didn't know what he had planned, he just said you were all bad people, which clearly you're not." 

"No. We are good. At leas in this world we are trying to be." I nodded. "Does Maggie know?"

"That I was there? No." She shook her head. "Glenn just told her that he met me on the road." 

"She will find out eventually." I muttered. 

Tara frowned at her feet and walked back over to where Glenn and Maggie was standing. Everyone approached me like I was a God for some reason which was strange. Abraham, Rosita and Eugene. Eugene I understood why, he was asking questions like if I remembered anything. I told him I've been having memories come every so often and that was it. He asked about the serum and if i had anymore. I told him no, I used the last bit and he looked worried. Rightfully so.

"Clear." Rick yelled from inside. 

WE all walked inside and sat down for a rest. Luckily Gabriel had a few bottles of water. Enough to make the babies a bottle and for the others to drink some. I had to walk outside for air, it so stuffy inside I started to feel restless and aggravated.
