Chapter 7:


We walked back to camp, and Glenn let go of my hand right before we hit the tree line.

We walked into camp to see the guys laughing.

They looked at us and Rick spoke.

"Why are you all wet? We were just about to look for you." He said.

Glenn hid a blush and I realized that I was going to have to answer.

"Yea, we found a little river and took a dip. It was refreshing. I can take you guys if you want too." I said.

"Nah, thanks kid. I'm beat." Said Daryl.

Rick nodded and yawned.

"Ok, let's get some sleep. I'll take first watch." He said.

The guys all got comfortable on the ground, and I did the same.

I slept near Glenn but not too close.

We didn't want to give anything away.


The morning came too fast.

We got up and started our way.

"Where is the rest of your group?" I asked.

Rick answered.

"We hid them in a small apartment complex south of the Governor." He said.

"Yea, my wife and two kids are there." Said Daryl.

I stopped

Daryl didn't look like a husband and father.

"How old are your children?" I asked.

Daryl smiled.

"Angel is one and Michael is 3 months old." He said.

I smiled.

We walked another hour.

"Ok, so let me explain something to you." Said Rick

"We have cleared the apartment building. So, there are no walkers in it. Each family has their own apartment. The windows are boarded up, and we try not to lite any candles to draw attention at night." He said.

I nodded.

"We will find you a place, don't worry." He said.

Glenn took this opportunity to talk.

"Sam can stay with me. I have the room." Said Glenn.

Everyone stopped walking and looked at Glenn.

"What?" he asked.

"You have been huddled in your place for weeks, and only come out for runs. Why now?" asked Rick

"I just think that Maggie would want me to try to live." He said.

Rick nodded and clapped Glenn on the back.

"Good to hear my friend." He said

And we were off.
