Looking around the room they are in, Camila runs a hand through her hair. "I guess we're staying the night in here."

Lauren shivered. "It's freezing."

"Good thing I brought this then." Camila responds, showing her bag. "It has a pillow and blanket inside."

"You came prepared." Lauren nodded.

Nodding, Camila takes the pillow and two blankets out of the bag. Laying one down on the ground before laying down herself. "Come here."

Lauren hesitated for a moment before lying down beside Camila.

Wrapping the blanket around them, Camila sighs and wraps an arm around her. "Was your relationship with Ty real?"

Lauren shook her head. "I was forced."

"I never truly liked him." The younger girl mumbles.

Lauren shook her head. "He's an ass."

"You should get some sleep." Camila responds softly.

Lauren nodded slowly and closed her eyes.

Slowly, Camila relaxes, listening to Lauren's slow and even breathing. She stays up the whole night to make sure Lauren is safe.

Lauren rolled over in Camila's arms and slowly woke up as the light shone brightly in her eyes.

"Morning." Camila whispers softly, that's when Lauren noticed the scar on her cheek.

"Morning." Lauren yawned and rubbed her eyes. "What's the scar on your cheek? How'd you get it?"

Closing her eyes, Camila takes a deep breath before pulling away and sitting up. "Two months into this hellish new world, I had a run in with a group." She responds, she didn't want to talk about what happened to her or her family.

"What happened?" Lauren asked.

"We should try and get out of here." The younger girl responds, her jaw clenching and unclenching.

"You didn't answer my question." Lauren muttered.

Rolling her eyes, Camila begins putting everything back in the bag before handing Lauren a knife. "Let's go."

Lauren stretched out her arms and ran her fingers through her hair, gripping the knife tightly.

"Stay close." Camila breathes out, strapping on her bag before pulling out her sword.

Opening the door, she kills four biters in one swing, quickly pulling Lauren out the door.

They get close to the exit and Camila pushes on the door, cursing when she realizes it's locked.

"Laur, I'm going to distract them, see if you can get someone's attention." Camila breathes out, standing protectively in front of the older girl.

Lauren turned and looked through the window. She could just make out some people on the other side. She began banging on the window.

Daryl appeared to be the only one who noticed, the dark-haired man moving over and quickly opening the door.

Not noticing the door opening, Camila continued taking down walkers.

"Camila!" Lauren yelled.

"Go, there's too many of them." Camila yells, pushing a walker back before stabbing another one in the head.
