I wake up when I feel him gently lay me down so he can go out. I grab his arm and attempt to pull him back.

"No...Don't leave. Too early." I say tiredly, then sit up when he pulls away. "Fine, I'll follow you!"

"I'm helping them carry the bodies. Take your time." Then he leaves with a smirk.

I yawn and change into my extra shorts and tank-top. I pull my braid out and brush it out. I turn and see Daryl picking up bodies, but he's watching me too. I look out the other side of the tent where Shane is doing the same. I grind my teeth and join Rafe on a chair to help him with his reading. I look up and they're arguing over what to do about Andrea. She won't leave Amy's side. I look up at Leyna and put my hand on hers. If it was my sister, I don't know if I could leave her side.

"Leave her be for Heavens sake!" I say to all of them "Let her be."

I stand up and go over to her with Dale. I rub her back softly and sit with her.

"I'm so sorry. I know how I would feel if it was Leyna. If there's anything I can do, please tell me." I say softly "I can stay if you like."

"Thanks." She looks at me appreciatively.

"No problem. But you know, they need to take her soon." I say rolling my eyes "They don't understand."

"I know."

"You're very strong. I don't know if I could put anyone down."

"You would." She says "Will you help me?"

I nod and help her carry Amy to the truck, then sit in the back with her. I help her put the body in the hole in the ground.

"I got it!" She says loudly so I gently let go.

Daryl sends me a look then says "I still think we should burn them."

"We need to mourn! It's the most normal we've felt in months, Daryl!" I glare at him then help Andrea out.

When everyone's buried, we sit there for a while and I found out Jim was bit last night.

"The cdc is the best chance for us!" Rick argues and Shane rolls his eyes.

"No, we need to go to Fort Benning! We can't trust that it's safe at the CDC! Tell him Lori!"

"I think we should trust his gut." She says and takes Ricks hand.

"It's settled. All who don't want to go are free to leave."

I look up at Daryl "I think we should go. He's right, they may have a cure and safety and walls. When I was there they had armies guarding it."

"Don't you remember I had to save you?" He raised his eyebrow

"I chose to leave, Dad wouldn't let Rafe or Leyna in!"

"What makes you think he will now?"

"Because he's dead." I look down "I won't go if you aren't."

"I didn't say that."He sighs and takes my hand "We're in."

"It's a mistake. Fine." Shane groans, then goes to his tent.

I look at Daryl and he scowls, then we go into our tent. I throw all my stuff in my backpack and Rafe's in his bag. Leyna has her own tent, so she took care of her stuff.

"You two are going to ride with Rick, Carl and Lori. Is that alright with you?" I say softly to both of them.

"Where are you going to be?" Rafe asks and Leyna puts her hand on her hips.

"She's gonna ride with Daryl. Fine, whatever. I'll be packing." She say's and then goes out.

"Leyna! Come-"

"I got her." Daryl says squeezing my hand softly and goes out after her.

"Are you okay with this?" I ask kneeling next to him.

"Yeah. I like Daryl."

"Yeah?" We start putting the tent down as Rick told us all to hurry up.

"Yeah. You're good for him and he's good for you." He grins and I raise my eyebrow.

"You know, I wouldn't do anything if you weren't okay with it. You or Leyna." I look at him and roll the tent up.

"I know, but you do so much for us we want you to be happy. Even if someone's being dramatic." He glances behind me and I turn.

"He's right. I'm sorry." She hugs me and then runs off to help Rick with his.

"What's with her?" I say, stunned.

"I just talked to her." Daryl stuffs the rest of the tent in the bag and takes it to Lori's car.

"Did you make any sense out of that?" Rafe asks and I laugh.

"Nope. You?"

"Not a clue."

"Good, least I'm not the only one. C'mon kiddo." I say and wrap my arm around his neck.

"Hey, here's your knife. Forgot to give it to you when you got back. Attack and all. I took a walker out so I washed it this morning."He takes it out.

"Keep it. Only use it in emergencies. I'm so proud of you."

"Really?" He glows

"Yes. Why don't you go with Carl?" I say straightening his hair out with my fingers.

"Okay." He grins and starts walking over, but I grab his arm.

"Hey, I love you." I smile and kiss his head.

"Love you too, Car." Then he gets in the car with Carl.

"We're not going. We have family in Birmingham. Gonna try there." Morales announces.

"Are you sure?" Rick asks.

"Yeah. Thanks though."

"Okay here." He takes some ammo out and hands it to Morales. "You change your mind and we're on the radio."

"Thanks." Morales nods and I hug him, his wife and two kids.

"You guys be safe okay? Protect your mom and dad." I smile and they nod, then get in the car.

I look over at Daryl and he's strapping Merle's bike to his truck. He looks up at me and then back at his work. I hesitate and then go over to help him. He unlocks the doors and opens the door for me.

"Be right back." I say and go over to Rafe. "Hey.

"Hey." He looks up at me and I grin goofily.

"Guess what I did back in Atlanta."

"What?" He grins back.

"I shot someone's butt." He laughs "That's funny?"

"You shot his butt! Why?"

"Don't tell him, but I used Daryl's crossbow. He attacked my Daryl so I shot his butt!" I glance to make sure Daryl isn't listening "Daryl didn't even notice."

"Are you joking?"

"Nope. Not a bit."

"Yo! Caroline! Let's go!" Daryl calls and we both laugh loudly.

Daryl raises his eyebrows but doesn't say anything.

"Mmmkay. I'm gonna go. Be good!" I say and then walk to the car.

"What's all the giggling about?" Daryl asks as I buckle up.

"Nothing." I grin "Buckle."

"Yes, Mom." He rolls his eyes, but he buckles.

"CDC, Here we come." I put my legs up on the dash and open the window.

"So, last night. I never asked what you were going to."

"What?" I say, pretending to be oblivious.

"You were curious about something last night." He glances at me.

"I forgot. I was tired and we had a long day, it was probably nothing. If I remember, I'll tell you."

"Okay."

I stare out the window for the next hour when I hear a horn beep. Daryl pulls over and gets out. I follow him over to the group."He wants to stay here."

"That's what I meant back in the camp, when you shot me down. I agreed with Daryl partially. We should let him decide. It's his choice, not yours." Dale says and Lori mutters her agreement.

Five minutes later, Daryl, Shane and Rick were carrying Jim over to a tree.

"Another tree, huh?" He looks at Shane with a weak smile.

I'm the last to say good-bye, but I don't mind. I hug him softly, careful not to hurt him.

"Take care of that boy!" He murmurs softly then looks at Daryl "Take care of her. You won't know how much she means until you lose her."

Daryl nods, then looks at me. I hesitate before joining him in the truck.

"It doesn't feel right. Wish I could help him." I say looking out the window as we start back up.

"I know, but it's what he wanted." He looks at me comfortingly "You can't help everyone."

"I know, but I try." I look out the window and pull my legs up on the seat.

When we get there, it's getting close to turning dark. I lock the door and take Rafe's hand with Daryl's on the other. I hesitate, I hadn't been here since it all went down.

"You okay?" Daryl asks and Leyna looks at me.

"I'm fine." I nod and stay behind of the others.

I gag at the stench that fills the air as we get close. All the soldiers are gone and corpses took their place. I take my jacket that's wrapped around my waist and hand it to Rafe to cover his nose. Leyna uses hers and I use my hair. We get to the iron doors and it starts to get dark.

"There's no one here! We need to get out of here! Rick!" Lori calls over the kids whimpers when walkers start coming out.

"I know you're there! Help us! Please!" Rick hollers as Shane starts pulling him back to the cars.

I hesitate, then step out from the back when I see the camera move. It turns to me and I take my father's old pass out.

"Wait." I mutter and yank my arm away from Daryl, everyone's watching.

"Car-" I put the pass to the camera and wait a few seconds, then the doors open.

"You're not crazy Rick." I say and Daryl looks at me, then takes my hand.

"What the Hell, we're all crazy."Daryl throws his crossbow over his shoulder.

"Get all your stuff, when this door closes it stays shut." An unfamiliar voice calls.

It takes us about five minutes for us to get our stuff inside and when we do, the doors close slowly. The man's tall and he has a worried look on his face. He takes us into the computer room which is very familiar to me.

"Vi, turn on all the lights."The lights turn on at his voice.

"Where are the others?" Rick asks as he takes blood.

"This is it." The man says, distraught.

"Then who was Vi?" Lori asks, confused.

"Computer." I mutter and close my eyes. Blood makes me weak, despite all we've been through.

"Vi, tell our guests... .Welcome."

"Welcome." A computer generated voice says.

"What happened to everyone else?" I ask and keep my mind off blood.

"They opted out. There wasn't any hope."

"Oh." I say and rub my arm, then sit next to Rafe, who'd finished first.

"Only reason I let you in was because of your pass. May I ask why you have it?"

"Um... He was my father. I, uh, was a nurse and doctor to be. I took a lot of science classes. They wanted me to stay, but I have these two to take care of." I squeeze Rafe and Leyna's arm.

"You're awfully shy to blood for a nurse slash doctor slash scientist."

"I know."

"Kitchen's that way. Help yourself, we have plenty." He says finishing Andrea.

She stumbles and we all stand to help her, but she pushes us away.

"She hasn't eaten in days. None of us have." Jacque informs him.

"Well, go eat."

"Didn't get your name." I say, staying back.

"Jenner."

"Caroline." I shake his hand "We appreciate this, we've been through a lot. Rick will probably come talk to you later."

He nods and I go into the kitchen where everyone's eating. Daryl pours me some wine and I reluctantly take it. I sip slowly and laugh at everyone's drunkenness. Everyone but me and Jenner's so drunk I could almost not stand it.

"I think I'm done!" Glen slurs and Daryl shakes his head.

"Uh-Uh little man, I want to see how red your face can get!" He laughs then takes another sip from his bottle.

I look down at my cup and set it down. I finish my plate and for once, the hunger that drives us is gone.

"Can I try some?" Carl asks

"Me too?" Rafe says.

"And me?" Leyna adds

"Uh.." Dale and Rick look at me and I groan. The one part of being a parent I dislike.

"Leyna yes, Rafe... Just a tiny tiny bit." I flinch and Daryl laughs.

"Lighten up!"

"That's as light as I'm getting." I grab Rafe's when he gags. "Good boy."

"We haven't properly thanked our host." Rick says and everyone thanks loudly.

After we finish eating, Jenner takes us to our rooms.

"Don't plug anything in that will use up the generator. And please, don't use up all the hot water."

"Did he say, hot water?" Glen grins.

"Yes he did!" T-Dog laughs, happily.

"Gimme your bag." Daryl says and I hand it to him gently.

"Thanks." I follow him to our room. "I remember."

I help him pull the bed out and put sheets on them.

"Oh?" He looks up and I sit on the bed.

"Yeah."I brush the tangles out of my hair.

"Well, are you gonna ask it?"He takes my brush and gently runs it through my hair.

"Why... Um, why are you... It's just, whenever I come in and you have your shirt off you freak out and put it back on. I was just curious... Why. I don't want to see you naked or anything but I...Gosh..." I turn red and take my brush from him, stuffing it in my backpack.

"You're wondering if it's you." He sighs. "No, I just don't like people looking. That's all."

"Okay. You wanna come take a shower?" I ask getting my clean clothes out.

"I will later."He says and I stand there looking like an idiot.

"I can wait for you if you want."

"Um, no, go ahead."
