"I said it. Didn't I say it?" Dale asked as we all got out of our vehicles. We stopped because Dale's RV started acting up again. "A thousand times. Dead in the water." He said walking up to the front. "Problem Dale?" Shane asked, holding his shotgun. "Just a small matter of being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no hope of-" He cut himself off as Daryl came over to us, he started looking inside of a car, grabbing things. "Okay, that was dumb." Dale said finishing his sentence. "If you can't find a radiator hose here," Shane said looking around. There were a lot of cars blocking the road, we couldn't get through.
"There's a whole bunch of stuff we can find." Daryl said pulling out more things from the car. "I can siphon more fuel from these cars for a start." T-Dog said walking over to the cars. "Maybe some water?" Carol asked holding on to Sophia. "Food?" Glenn asked looking around too. "This is a graveyard." Mom spoke out, also holding Carl close to her. Everyone looked back at her, Daryl stopped looking through the car and looked back at her too. "I don't know how I feel about this." Mom said unsteadily, looking back at everyone as well.
"Alright, alright here we go." T-Dog said and walked back to the RV, being the first to take action. "Cmon y'all. Just look around. Gather what you can." Shane said. Everyone started heading towards the rest of the cars. I stayed where I was, watching everyone start to look through cars. I wonder where everyone went. The cars were just piled up, there were so many cars but not a single person other than us was in sight. I swallowed the lump in my throat finally feeling unsteady about the situation like my mom was. "You don't wanna go look?" I looked back to see dad walking up to me, holding a rifle.
"I was just thinking.." I said as he reached me, " 'bout what?" He asked standing next to me. I looked back at the cars again and shook my head. "What happened, where'd everyone go." I said softly, He looked slightly down at me. "Don't think about it.." He said and put his hand on the back of my head. "Go on, hopefully you'll get lucky and find something useful." He said, I looked over at him, "You're not gonna look?" I asked. "I'm keeping watch with Dale," He said brushing my hair down with the palm of his hand. I nodded a bit looking at his dirty white shirt. "Go," he said, putting his hand on my shoulder and rubbing it slightly with his thumb. I started walking away from him, heading over to mom and Carl.
"Aurora," I turned back to my dad again, He walked over to me. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked softly, noticing I was off and slow today. I nodded a bit. "Yeah, I'm just tired daddy." I said, closing my eyes for a second. Last night, he stayed up with me until I fell asleep. It was hard to sleep but eventually I did. We didn't really get much sleep after the talk we had, but I got more rest than he did. He couldn't sleep with the thought of me wanting to stay behind on his mind.
"You wanna get some rest in the RV..?" He asked, putting his hand on my cheek, "Sleep until we get it going," He said. I gave him the softest smile, "I'll sleep when we get out of here. I'll be okay." I said, "Yeah?" he asked. I nodded, "Yeah." I said. He hesitantly nodded and pulled me in for a quick hug. I hugged him back, "Alright, go on." He said and we pulled away, He kissed my forehead and I walked away from him.

"Lori! Under the cars!" I heard Dad's voice. I looked back at him. "Get down now!" He said looking at Carl, Sophia and myself. I pushed them both under cars and I started looking for another car to get under myself. I felt hands on my arms and I was pulled down quickly. I looked over to see Shane. He held his finger up to his lips and pulled me into him so I wasn't so close to the edge. I caught my breath and my heart started racing as I saw a bunch of walkers coming our way. Glenn was under the tuck with us. I covered my mouth, Shane put his hand on the back of my head and I looked at him. He nodded a bit holding me. I looked back to see hundreds of walkers shuffling by us, it went on for a few minutes but it felt like hours.
We pulled away once we saw no more walkers. I looked back trying to see if I could spot any more coming our way but I couldn't. I looked at Shane and he finally let go of me. Suddenly, we heard a scream and we looked over to see Sophia being chased by two walkers into the woods.

My dad and Daryl went out earlier trying to track Sophia down. My dad gave her instructions but she didn't follow them and now she was lost in the woods. "Shane!" I heard Carl's voice. Mom ran over and I followed her. "Carl? What happened?!" She asked. I saw him carrying something. "Mom, I found something cool!" he said and went to Shane who was fixing a car. Carl set whatever he was holding down in front of him and opened it to reveal Knives, Machetes and Axes. "Check it out!" Carl said excitedly, showing off his find. I smiled at him. "Nice." I giggled. Now we have more weapons. He looked at me smiling then at Shane. "It's an arsenal!" he said. "That's cool bud. Go give 'em to Dale." Shane said as he kept working under the hood of the car. My smile slowly faded away as I looked at Shane.
"Check this one out." Carl said, pulling one of them out. "Whoa, it's a hatchet!" he said looking at it in his hands. "Be careful, don't play with those." Mom said, stepping closer to him. "They're really sharp." He said swinging it slightly. "What did I just say?" Mom asked, reaching for the hatchet. "Can me and Rory keep one?" He asked looking up at her. "Are you crazy?" She asked, taking it away from him. "No way." He said looking at me. I shrugged a bit, it would be nice if I had one of the knives, just having it on me would make me feel a little better. I've never killed a walker but I know you're supposed to go for the head. He looked over at Shane. "Shane. Shane, tell her to let us keep one." He said looking at him.
He finally looked up from the car and looked at him. "Hey man, go give 'em all to Dale. Now. Go." He said, kind of snapping at Carl. I furrowed my eyebrows angry at the way he just responded to my little brother. Mom picked them up and handed them to me, Carl walked away from us upset and I looked at Shane as I took the Arsenal from my mom. He looked at me too. "Asshole." I said. Mom put a hand on my back and I walked away from them. I walked into the RV and put the arsenal on the table. I looked at Carl who was sitting at the table as well. He looked at the arsenal. "He's just stressed. We're all stressed." I said sitting across from him. He looked up at me and nodded a little bit.
"Maybe when dad gets back, you show him what you found okay? We can talk to him about having knives to protect ourselves in case anything happens. How's that sound?" I asked. He nodded, giving me a smile. "Really?" He asked. I nodded, "Yeah, but we have to team up on him okay? Make our proposition good. Convince him to let us have knives." I said sitting down across from him. He nodded. "Okay." He said. I nodded smiling at him. "Alright." I said and looked down at the Arsenal. "This is a really good find. Good job." I said. "Thanks." He said
