I say to everybody "  I'm sorry for what happened but, I hate to change the subject... have you guys seen any sign of Noah?"

Daryl sighs " Yeah we were right on his trail a few hours before this happened."

I reply " Well do you think we could still find Noah even though it's been hours since you were last on his trail."

Daryl says with a smirk on his face " Well of course I can ... you really don't know much about me ."

Carol says quietly" So what are you all  waiting for... let's go find Noah."

We all look at her surprised to see that she isn't crying.

Daryl says backing Carol up " You heard come on let's go."

We all gather our things and than leave. It was quiet for an hour or so . But then we hear sounds coming from the woods. We all quietly jump into a van close to us. We quickly cover the windows with clothes from our bags hoping that the herd of walkers won't find us. I look out the window and see what's gotta be at least 100 walkers walking by. I got so nervous and started to squeeze Carl's hand tight. I don't even remeber when he gave me his hand. We all wait in there until we see that the walkers our gone.

Carl takes me to the side and said quietly smirking " Thanks for almost breaking my hand back there ... why were you so nervous?

I sigh " Sorry I didn't mean to... it's just that the last time I have seen I herd that big was when my family died. Saying starting to cry.

" Shh... it's fine none of us got hurt you don't have to worry." He says smiling and pulling me in for a hug.

Moments later we hear a scream. Everyone looks panicked.Not moving a muscle.

I yell running off " It might be Noah."

Daryl comes up from behind me grabbing me, picking me up.

" Put me down" I yell to Daryl.

" As long as you don't yell."

I nod my head and puts me down.

" Why did you do that... what if that was Noah what get their in time." I say directing it to Daryl.

" Because you can't just run to someone screaming without any one." He says looking angry.

" Well Carl did for me... so I am for whoever that scream may be coming from" I say running.

They all come chasing after me. I ran into a few walkers. Killing them with my machete. I run to were the screams our coming from and Noah is trapped on the hood of a car with about fifteen walkers surrounding him. I go to help. The rest following looking unpleased. I tag team with Carl he grass the walkers away from the car and stab them. The rest of them are watching our backs. I finally kill the last one . Then I reach for Noah helping him down. Without even thinking I hug him. Everyone just stares at me .

"What?" I question.

Carl looks at me awkwardly and he looks kinda mad.

Daryl begins to yell " What were you thinking... just leaving without a second thought... your lucky you didn't get yourself killed or one of us. You need to think next time. You don't just see a bunch of walkers and go running at them."

" I was helping Noah out... was I just suppose to stand here and watch him die.. I'm sorry but I'm not going to let myself see someone else I care about die. I don't know about you but when I hear someone scream I go running in their direction to go and help them ... I'm not just going to run in the opposite direction! I try to help everyone I come across. Even if it wasn't Noah on top of that car I still would have done what I did. I would have risked my life to save his!" I say angrily towards them.

Glenn says trying to calm me down " Come on Daryl was just looking out for you."

" And I was looking out for Noah I didn't see any off you rushing towards him when you saw that it was him on top of that car."I yell.

Carl says " try to calm down".

" Really because I seem to remeber you doing the same thing for me like a week ago. I was doing what I thought was right when someone screams go run ti help them. What if you decided not to go running when you heard me scream I would probably be dead. Imagine that feeling and you barely knew me. Times that feeling by 10. You would have felt awful if you stopped me for going to him and he ended up dead because you were trying to keep me safe." I yell at them once more.

They all sigh and look towards the ground

"Exactly you would have been heart broken you would of felt awful." I say before leaving to see if Noah was ok.

I go and see Noah he has a cut on his leg and a gash on his head. I take out some bandages and water and start cleaning him up.

" Thanks Claire you didn't have to do that." He says well I'm bandaging him up.

" Yes I did... okay this might sting." I say pouring some water on to the open cut. "Sorry."

He says "No its fine really... thanks for everything today Claire."

" No problem your a part of my group your my family. I would of done it do any one of you guys."I say finishing up.

Carl comes over to me trying to talk to me but I ignore him. He stops me from walking . He says " I'm sorry... we didn't mean to over react like that ."

" Whatever." I say .

" No. I should have trusted your instinct all of us should have."He says trying to apologize.

" It's fine I'm over it I just wanted to help."I say.

Do they all not understand I help every body I come across. Even if they are a gonner I will still help. I would do it for any of them in a heartbeat.
