Andrea's POV:
I walked around the main part of the forest since we need to move very soon and I am not sure where to go at all. Shane tends to think that we are arguing with him to get him off of the leader position and replace him with Rick after that guy returned. Not to mention that Rick is a very cool, organized and wonderful guy who wanted what was best for his own family. I mean I never would think for one second that there is even a slight spark of goodness inside of Shane but sadly he makes things much worse than ever. I did notice how everyone started to pack up as if we are going to be leaving very soon and I am not sure where we are all heading next in terms of a new home again. I went over to the large cave to glance at Carl but I wasn't entirely concerned about him since he has been with us for a very long time and my focus was on the girl who seemed to talk to Carl about something. I went to approach her but she flinched so much that I stopped a few feet from her and crouched down to her own level so we can talk. "Shhhh.....It's okay sweetie. I know you must be scared cause there is a lot of new people around and it is hard to trust strangers. Trust me I will not let anyone hurt you cause you have people protecting you now. I'm Andrea and you are", I said softly. The girl turned her head towards me while smiling softly and she uncurled a bit. "I'm Callie Dixon and yeah it is a bit hard to trust people. I know they don't want me here since I am not supposed to be apart of this group", she says. I giggled at her before sitting down on the floor to prevent me from falling over and hummed. "You know it is a lot to take in from the look in your eyes and the fact that you flinched from me. It tells me that you are very concerned about being hurt once again and we would never do that except for some people it seems. Those people who are protecting you are Daryl, Merle, Maggie, Amy, Rick, and me. We all want you to be safe", I said. She looked down at the ground trying to think of what to say next because she is very much processing everything is her head. "I know that I am not entirely trusting towards you guys at all considering that this is all very new. I mean Daryl and Merle don't seem to want anything to simply do with me at all cause it is clearly written in their eyes. I wish I was more prepared for this but all I do is mess things up. Protection is what you think I need. It is not that simply okay. Nobody cares", says Callie. I was stunned by her words as I glanced around the cave before gently taking her hand and made her look up at me. "You might disagree on me with this and I am most likely going to hate myself for saying this most of all. We as a group need you here girl because you are fierce beyond words and this group is nothing without that feminine girl power between many of us. The guys think that they are trying to win us over to make us feel like we are the omega ones here and up for grabs. Hell no sweetheart. You are amazing and wonderful. We do care about you except the idiot Shane and cheating chick Lori", I said.

Callie's POV:
When Andrea said those words to me, I started to laugh along with Carl and herself. Now that was purely priceless non the least which made it feel better about things and I was happy to make the world a much better place. I sat there enjoying their presence but I needed to do something so I got up slowly and exited out of the cave to go find the one guy carrying the crossbow. I found him standing near a huge river along with along three girls and one guy apparently having a random conversation. I always thought about why he would ever think of carrying the crossbow when it could be useful in a way and I thought it was funny to be using it daily. Lose an arrow means that you would have to grab them out of the Walker before reloading again for extra power and that is a lot of work. I took a deep breath while approaching the guy and hugged him tightly from the side. His whole body went tense cause it felt hard to squeeze him to make me feel safe and he seemed very much shocked by the state of us. "W-W-Why are you hugging me new girl", says the guy. This must be Daryl, my second older brother and he seems very much kind about things. He did look tough in ways as he glared down at me and I didn't turn away from it. "I wanted to say thank you for being the only family that I have left and believing in me to be still alive. I am glad to have found you and I do love you brother", I whispered before kissing his cheek in a sisterly way. He jumped back to land in the water and I started to laugh so much. "Also you know a crossbow isn't much help when it comes to these things", I said as I started to walk away. Daryl obviously seemed ticked but he chased me for a while and we ended up near the caves again. We were nearly siblings but not entirely close yet and it is going to be fun as ever.
