They had three vans.

Abraham, Tara, Rosita, Maggie, Glenn and Eugene took one.

Rick, Michonne, Carol, Carl and Judith took another.

Theo, Daryl, Noah and Sasha as well as Saint took another.

The journey was silent.

No one knew what to say to one another.

There was grief all around them

All cars were the same. It made the journey longer, but no one knew what to say to each other.

Eventually 3 was down to 2 and 2 was down to 1. Eventually 1 was down to none.

"We walk," Rick explained. They got out exhausted.

Hot and fed up.

The heat was extreme and they were low on water as it was.

It had been 2 days on the road, but it had been a day and a half since they last had water.

They had to ration.

But finally it all went.

"I'll go look for water." Daryl barely spoke before walking away from the group.

Theo stepped forward to go with him, but instead Carol spoke up.

"Can i come?" She asked a smile on her face,

"If you wanna" Daryl told her shrugging, not exactly caring.

"Just try and stop me" She smiled as they went off into the woods.

The rest of them continued to walk in the direction of Washington, noticing a small herd forming behind them.

Theo's mouth was dry, she hadnt had the taste of water in days.

They came across a small bridge with caves in the ground on either side.

"We use this and push the walkers in." Rick explained out of breath. "That herd is getting too big," He continued, looking between everyone.

Abraham, Theo, Sasha stood on one side.

Michonne, Glenn and Rick stood on the other.

"Ready?" Rick asked, nodding with a sigh.

The others all nodded, matching the energy.

When a walker was close enough, they either moved in time for them to fall or they would push them down.

The plan was working fine until Sasha let her anger get to her.

She walked forward killing one with her knife.

Theo sighed, already exhausted but grabbed her machete.

The rest of them moved out, killing all the walkers heading their way.

But they began to struggle.

Sasha swung for a walker, but she ended up pushing Theo as she did. Having a walker land on top of her.

Theo used all her energy to push it from biting her. But she couldn't reach a weapon and due to the fatigue in her muscles, she found it hard to fight it off,

Suddenly a knife was driven through its skull and it was dragged off her.

She sat up and looked up to see Daryl.

He gave her his hand helping her up to her feet, brushing the dirt off of her back.

"You okay?" He asked worried
