The winter season had passed and the group were running low on food there previous house had become over run with walkers and they had been forced to leave. Life was becoming really difficult Lori was about ready to pop but birth was going to be extremely dangerous considering the lack of medical equipment there was also hardly any food left the cars had nearly all ran out of fuel a while ago and now they were forced to jump from house to house to survive, Carol's advances at Daryl hadn't stopped if fact they just became more obvious and the women kept trying to put the blame for everything on to Winter after the house got over run she told everyone it was Winter who was making the most noise everyone knew it wasn't true but she was really starting to get on Winter's nerves but Winter always remained respectful and resisted the urge to punch Carol in the face Maggie had noticed to and had offered to tell Carol to back off but Winter didn't want to stir up more trouble.

The group had just pulled up to a large house it wasn't in great condition some of the window's were missing and so was the door but it was the best they had had in a while. Winter and Daryl were going to search up stairs and the rest were either searching down stairs or looking for supply's Winter had her bow and Daryl his crossbow Daryl set Winter to check the left side of the upstairs while he checked the right Daryl heard a noise from one of the room's he opened the door and stepped in there was no walker just a owl Daryl was about to shoot the creature but a arrow had already embedded it's self into it Daryl looked at his crossbow to see it still loaded then he turned to see Winter standing across the hall smirking holding her bow she walked over to the owl and picked it up silently claiming it as her own as she walked out Daryl yanked the owl out of her hands and held it out of her reach "that's mine" she said in a child like voice

"not any more" said Daryl as he crashed a kiss onto Winters pout-y lips Winter tuned around in a child like manner avoiding the kiss and facing her back towards Daryl, who chuckled and pinched her butt Winter jumped up and spun around to see Daryl walking away with her owl she followed him down stairs to see him pulling the feathers out of the owl, down stairs everyone sat in what used to be the living room Carl had two cans in his lap Winter was pleased at the thought of food but when he opened the tin the smell that reached her alerted her that those tins were full of dog food Winter gagged at the thought of eating dog food apparently Rick didn't like the idea either as he grabbed the can and threw it at the fire place everyone was still unsure what tho do Winter just stared out the window in the distance she saw walkers so did T-dog as he motioned for the rest to leave the house everyone got back in to car's and as always Carol offered to go with Daryl saying

"you will get cold if you stay on the bike for too long"

"it's alright I don't mind the cold wont kill me" Carol looked pissed at that answer she looked to Daryl expecting him to agree with her and make Winter go in the car he just shrugged and waited for Winter to jump on they drove for a while before Rick stopped the car in front he took out a map and lay it on the bonnet of the truck Winter walked over to a nearby tree as Daryl joined the discussion about where they should travel now. Beth and Carl walked over to Winter they looked like they wanted to ask a question Beth looked a bit nervous so it was Carl that spoke

"Winter would you mind taking Beth flying?" he asked Winter looked at the teen who had a hopeful look in her eyes

"yeah I don't mind" Winter picked Beth up and flew up into the air they flew for a minute before Beth asked

"what's that over there?" the place in question looked like a prison it was big and would have supply's inside

"Beth mind if we cut this flying short?" Beth shook her head and Winter flew back when she landed she let go of Beth who ran over to Carl to tell him about her flying experience Winter hoped over to the group around the map when Daryl saw her he asked

"were have you been?" Winter shrugged

"Beth wanted to see what flying was like" Maggie smiled and walked of to find her sister " we found something, a prison." all head turned to the Winter "i't must have fell quite early on there will be supply's there" it was decided that the group were going to look at the prison and make a decision when they got there.

The prison was perfect gates and strong walls they just needed to get rid of the walkers and it would be home "if someone run's through there and shuts those gates we can kill these walkers easily" Rick said Glenn looked at the chain

"I'll go i'm fastest" Maggie clearly disagreed with her boyfriends logic

"no you won't its a suicide run!" Rick offered

"I will go-" Winter cut him off

"I can do it I will run I don't want to risk a walker grabbing my wing's" Rick nodded and passed her the chain Daryl stepped in

"Don't " Winter silenced him

"just make sure your ready to stick a arrow in the head of any walker's that come near me" Daryl nodded as Rick sent everyone in to position Carol and Daryl were in one tower Hershel, T-dog and Carl would be killing walkers through the chain and Glenn, Maggie and Rick would be in the other tower Winter walked over to the gate and Lori followed saying she would open and shut the gate Winter got ready to run and suddenly the gate was open she sprinted as fast as she could across the field avoiding walkers when she reached the opposite gate she pulled it shut and looped the chain through however before she could lock it a walker grabbed he ankle it pulled her over and dragged her near but before it could do anything else there was a arrow in its head Winter jumped back up and locked the gate in place she ran into the guard tower as the rest of the group opened fire on the walkers as the last of the walkers had been disposed of all the member's of the group came Carol did a little spin

"we haven't had this much space since the farm" as much as Carol got on Winter's nerves she couldn't agree more they could sleep safely tonight. Daryl and Carol went on a perimeter check Winter didn't mind she was tired from a long day and tomorrow was going to be longer she knew Rick would want to clear out the rest of the prison Winter lay down on the grass looking at the sky when she heard Carol speak

"wanna mess around?" Well that wasn't very subtle Winter was sure everyone knew that her and Daryl were an item but Carol just kept pushing

"shut up!" Daryl snapped not harshly but warning, Carol then groaned in pain "what's up?"

"the kick back on that gun hurt my shoulder" Daryl sighed and told her to turn around as he massaged the bruising skin Winter knew it was just a friendly gesture and everyone needed to be on top form to proceed but was it wrong that she wanted to be the one getting a back rub. When Daryl came back he sat next to Winter, Hershel turned to his daughter

"Beth sing parting glass" She did and it sounded beautiful and half way through Maggie joined in Winter loved the sound of music after so long but she couldn't stop thinking about Daryl and Carol when the song finished Winter mentioned to the group

"I'm gonna go to the guard tower keep watch" she stood up and unfurled her wings she could have walked but she didn't want Daryl to follow she landed gracefully on the guard tower roof and watched the surrounding area alone with her thoughts.
