You were on the roads for hours. Sitting in the rv, the windows down enjoying the moments as it lasts. The wind was blowing your hair, your feet on the chair in front of you crossed, your hands caressing the necklace Negan got you on your birthday, your eyes glued to Shane and Andrea sitting on the left side of you.

You all cut the cars short to two, the rv and Rick's car alongside Daryl's motorbike. Dale, Glenn, Shane, Andrea, Dale, T-dog and you in the rv, Rick, Lori, Carl, Sophia and Carol in their car and of course, Daryl in his motorbike.

Shane was sitting opposite Andrea busy cleaning his gun while she was starring at how his fingers moved swiftly with the gun. "Looks complicated" she said quietly as she met eyes with Shane. He smiled, getting into the conversation. You groaned, seemingly your back hurts from all the sitting around. You arched your back, putting your feet down as you faced the two.

"Uh-oh" you heard Dale say as he stopped the rv, looking ahead of him. You stood up, seeing a truck ahead of you blocking the way for the rv to pass by. You sighed as you rubbed your forehead, "see a way through?" Dale asked Daryl as he signaled him to follow. The rv started moving slowly between the cars, eventually taking a stop as the engine suddenly started screeching.

"God dammit" you muttered under your breath as you opened the car door, walking out. "I said it. Didn't I say it? I said it a thousand times, dead in the water" Dale said as he looked at the engine. Everyone came out of their cars, walking towards the rv "there are tons of stuff here. Get what you need and let's go, stay close" you say as you go inside the rv and take out a bucket to fill in with gas for the future.

"Gimme that. Go take other supplies" T-dog said as he held his arms out, giving him the bucket with a smile. You took a bag from inside, going to the closest car near you. You got the axe out, looking at the windows making sure no walkers were inside. You took some food, water, clothes and other stuff from the cars you could've reached, walking back to the rv. You saw Dale standing on top of the rv, looking ahead of him with a terrified expression. You saw Rick by the car, holding out his gun, safety off.

Being alarmed by the view, you threw the bags of supplies inside the rv as you took out the axe, walking to Rick slowly and quietly "what's wrong?" You whispered. He gave you the gun, looking through it as you saw a herd of walkers only 20 meters ahead of you, walking your way "Jesus christ" you mumble as you give Rick back his gun, you two running quietly to tell everyone to get to safety

You saw Lori looking through a car, stuffing her bag with supplies "Lori, under the car!" You hissed as she did exactly what you ordered, terrified expression plastered on her face

"Carl, Sophia, under!" Rick hissed at them as they hid behind a car, Lori running to Carol as she held her mouth preventing Carol from saying a word as she cried silently looking at her daughter. You didn't have time to inform the three other men as the walkers almost caught sight of you, so you dropped to the ground and went under a car, laying on your stomach seeing Sophia right ahead of you under a car, horrified.

You held your hand out to your mouth as a gesture to be quiet, while nodding at her to make her feel more easy. Gripping your axe tightly, you saw Sophia getting a little more freaked out, looking to the car on the left side of her, the one where Carl hid under. You widened your eyes as you waved your hand quickly, gaining her attention. You shook your head aggressively no, while giving her a death stare.

She nodded her head, before putting her face on the concrete, holding onto her teddy bear tighter. You sighed quietly as the walkers kept walking past you and the cars, groaning and morning.

You waited for about two minutes, before all the walkers groans and moans faded away. You looked up, seeing Sophia crawling from under her car trying to go to Carl's. Your eyes widened as you gripped your axe tighter, before you heard her screams. A walker trying to holding her arm, while she pushed herself away from the other side, trying oh so desperately to escape.
