( Korolines POV)
Atlanta was a bust , were heading for our new destination.
Fort Benning.
We have been on the road for about half an hour since leaving the CDC. Seeing the city in ruins it's hard to hold on to things like hope and faith but I will be there faith I will be strong when they our weak. These people are my family and I will protect them.
I heard someone honk which is our sign to pull over. I pulled my charger to the side next to Ricks.
We all got out and met in the middle of the cars for regrouping it's the first time we have stopped since the CDC.
Shane walks up to me and says.
" YOU WAN'T TO TELL ME WERE THE HELL THAT NIFTY LITTLE GLASS BREAKING TRICK CAME FROM" He yelled.
" I was just pushing my powers , it's something I can do"
" Oh okay" He said sarcastically " WERE THE HELL WAS IT WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THAT ROOM!" He spat.
" Shane! Keep your voice down we aren't alone here" Rick said.
" Could you have broken those doors?" Shane asked calmer.
" Yes"
" So why didn't you!" he yelled.
" SHANE!" " That's enough" Rick said.
" I was giving Jenner a chance to fix his mistake" I said.
" You right man this is enough" Shane said. He pulled his gun out and aimed it at my head.
" YOU WERE RISKING ALL OF OUR LIVES AND FOR WHAT!"
I looked down the gun at Shane's face and I could feel the anger and power running warm through my veins.
" IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MURDER!" I yelled. " I WAS GIVING MY FRIENDS HUSBAND A CHANCE , THAT'S RIGHT TS-19 HIS WIFE! IS MY BESTFRIEND. I WAS GIVING HIS SOUL A CHANCE , SO HE COULD BE WITH HER AND NOT ROTTING IN HELL FOR KILLING ALL OF YOU!" I yelled.
" I was keeping my promise but if you think that you're better off without me. Go ahead , there's the door no one is stopping you"
No one moved or said anything.
" No takers?" I said sarcastically " Then let's get one thing straight. I am still of God , so I will do what's best for this group but others as well and I am trying the best that I can to do the right thing and to keep you people safe"
Shane scoffed but I just ignored it and continued my rant.
" I am stretching my powers and my limits day after day , none of you know the consequences to that! I pull my power from the earth and the elements. Air , Earth , Fire , and Water. I'm taking a lot of power and not giving any back and if I don't then the earth will take it by force"
" To form my wings and the mist and to brake the glass today that all uses power"
I started to feel dizzy and knew right away that what I predicted earlier was right the earth was taking its power back.
" I pushed too hard and now its pushing back" I said as white specs bounced across my vision before it all went black and my body hit the ground with a thud.
( Glenns POV)
We rushed over and picked up Koroline taking her to the RV and laying her down.
" What do we do?" I asked.
" Let her rest , for now Glenn you drive her car" Rick said.
I heard a raspy voice from the back of the RV say.
" One scratch Glenn and your dead" Koroline said.
" Koroline!" I rushed back to the back with Rick following.
" What happened" Rick asked before I could.
" I told you , if I take too much it takes it back. it's sort of a reminder that the thing that makes us invincible can also destroy us" She said.
" Are you okay?" I asked.
" Yeah great walking on sunshine thanks for asking" She bit back.
I raised my eyebrow.
She sighed.
" I'll be fine I just need to rest and maybe absorb some of the elements. Rick is there a creek nearby maybe a forest anything?" She said.
" Umm maybe there's a rest area ahead a couple miles and then we will hit the main highway which I think runs parallel to a forest" He said.
" Okay that will work"
" I'll go tell the others you're okay" I said.
" Glenn"
" Yeah?" I said.
" Punch Shane in the face for me" She said.
I just laughed and walked out of the RV.
" She's fine" I said.
" Why did she collapse?" Lori asked.
" Something to do with her powers , what she said earlier about pushing her powers to far she was right" I said.
I looked behind me as Rick came out of the RV.
" Alright lets head to the highway Glenn will be taking Koroline's car so anyone who wants room to stretch around ride with Glenn" Rick said.
" Okay let's go we have a long and tiresome journey ahead of us its over 100 miles to Fort Benning which means minimal stops and long nights. Now for those of you with a CB we're on channel 40 the ones who don't just honk your horn one time and that will stop the caravan alright?" Rick said.
We all got into are assigned vehicles and headed towards the highway.
( Korolines POV)
I stared out the window as we passed different roads before we hit the main highway. Rick was right it ran next to a forest. I watched as we road down the highway for about twenty minutes with no problems but I guess I spoke to soon as the RV slowed to a stop.
" Whats wrong?" I yelled to Dale.
" Cars" he said.
I watched as he rolled the window down and talked to Daryl for a while before we were back on the road I'm guessing moving around cars cause we were going all kinds of directions.
I heard a pop and looked up to see smoke coming from the engine.
" I knew it" I heard Dale say as he put the RV in park. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and attempted to get up , after a few tries I got to my feet and walked out of the RV to meet everyone.
Dale was standing in front of the RV.
" I needed the hose from the cube van and now were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no ch-" he stopped talking as we watched Daryl did through some stuff in a car.
" Okay that was dumb" Dale said.
" I think you can find a new hose here" Shane said.
" We could fin' a hole bunch a things here'" Daryl said.
" This is a grave yard I don't know how I feel about this" Lori said.
" There dead Lori , they won't care" I said walking over to a pickup truck and hoping in the bed.
I picked through the bags in the bed of the truck gathering anything useful like clothes or food when something caught my eye.
It was a locked trunk that was underneath the toolbox built into the bed.
I pulled it out and set it on the tail gate while I looked in the toolbox for something to open it with , I found a hammer and pulled it out.
I walked over to the trunk and grabbed a hold of the lock looking at it for a few seconds before smashing it to pieces with the hammer. I pulled the rest of the lock pieces off and open the trunk. My jaw drops at the sight before me , it's a shiny new bow and arrow with a quiver full of arrows.
" My day just got better" I thought.
I pulled out the bow and flung the quiver on my back as I walked back to the RV.
" Dale check this out" I said as I pulled the string back and put an arrow in it.
But he didn't hear me he just sat staring out at the road. I looked over at what he was looking at to see Rick telling everyone to get under the cars. I looked behind him and saw a herd of walkers.
I ran and rolled under the truck I was just looking through. I watched as dozens of rotting legs went by me. I looked over at the RV and just about had a heart attack when I saw one of the walkers go into the RV.
"Andrea I hope your hiding"
I flinched when I heard her scream and couldn't do anything but watch. I saw Dale drop something down to her through the vent in the top of the RV.
I didn't see any more walkers so I slid out from underneath the truck and stood up.
I walked towards the other cars just as two more walkers came around the other side. I dropped down and leaned against another car waiting for them to leave.
I heard a scream and looked over to see Sophia running into the woods with the two walkers running shortly behind.
I took off running and reached the guard rail as walker number two stumbled down. I hopped the rail and ran into the woods decapitating one walker on the way.
I looked around and tried to strain to hear anything coming. I ran in the direction the other walker went and followed it. I turned when I heard a crunch , I raised my new found bow with an arrow already loaded and waited to see what it was.
I turned when I heard another snap and let out a sign of relief when I saw Rick.
" Sophia come this way?" he asked.
" No I was killing one of the walkers and I lost her"
" I had to lead the walker away so I hid her in a bush then told her to run back to the highway and keep the sun on her left shoulder"
" I haven't seen her"
" She might have made it back to the highway" He said.
" Yeah lets head back see if she did"
We walked for a couple minutes before the embankment next to the highway came into view.
We walked up and was met with the whole group staring at us with sad eyes.
" Were's Sophia?" I asked.
No one said anything as Carol broke down crying. I grabbed Rick's arm and said.
" Let's go show me were you left her" " Yo Daryl , T , Glenny come on lets go" I Yelled.
Rick led us to a creek with an overhang next to a fallen tree and told us how he led the walker away and told her to stay there but if another walker came to run back to the highway.
" I wonder how much you told her actually stuck" Shane said.
" She understood fine" Rick said.
" She was scared"
" Shane , you would be surprised at what a child's mind can pick up on and adapt to. She was scared not stupid" I Said.
He just glared at me.
" Yo slant eyes you mind steppin back you muckin up tha trail" Daryl said.
Glenn stepped aside muttering ' I'm Korean'
Daryl studied the ground as the crept along the river bank and up to where we all were standing.
" She did wha' you said" he said pointing. " Goin back to tha highway"
We followed behind Daryl a little ways before he came to a stop.
" She was doin fine till here, she went off tha way" He said pointing to the right.
" Why would she do that?" Glenn asked.
" Something spook her?" I asked.
" A walker?" Shane asked.
" No only one set of tracks" Daryl said.
"Should we follow it?" Glenn asked.
" No you and Shane go back to the highway let them know we're on her trail" Rick said.
" yeah I'll think of chores to keep them busy" Shane said.
Me , Daryl and Rick started to follow Sophia's tracks through the woods.
We went down a little hill and Rick spoke.
" The tracks are gone"
I shook my head and said. " There faint they aren't gone"
Daryl looked at me in surprise and said.
" Didn't kno you track"
" It's an acquired trait , not to be discussed right now we have more important things to worry about" I said softly trying not to sound like a jerk.
He seemed to get what I meant and said.
" Alright"
We walked a little farther till we came across a walker.
I walked in front of everyone and pulled my sword out. I whistled and it turned to me. It growled in anticipation of fresh food.
I walked up to it and sliced Its head in two severing the brain.
Rick and Daryl walked up behind me.
Rick put on gloves and started messing with the walkers hands.
" What are you doin?" Daryl asked.
" There's skin under the finger nails" He said.
I leaned down and looked at its teeth.
" There's some kind of meat in Its teeth" I said.
Rick looked at Daryl and said.
" What do you think?"
" Only one way ta find out" Daryl said.
Rick nodded and pulled out his knife.
Daryl laid a hand on Ricks and said.
"How many kills you skin and gut in your life , I'll use mine its sharper"
He said as he pulled his long hunting knife out of its sheath.
I looked away as he started to cut into the walkers stomach. The squishing and gurgling sounds making me want to heave up anything left of the food from the CDC that was still in me.
I looked over at Rick who looked like he was trying not to puke.
" Here comes tha bad part" Daryl said.
" Oh , that wasn't the bad part" I said looking away as he dug through the inside of the walker.
I tried my hardest not to puke at the smell of the walkers rotting insides. Rick didn't have as good of luck he bent over and heaved throwing up the tiny amount of food left in his stomach.
Daryl pulled out what looked like the stomach and laid it on the grass.
" Here I'll do it" Rick said.
They cut open the weirdly enlarged organ and starting sifting through the black mush that was in it.
Rick's knife hit something and he stabbed it and pulled out what looked like a tiny animal skull on the end of his knife.
" Ugly mother had himself a wood chuck for lunch" Daryl said.
Rick looked over at me and Daryl and said.
" At least we know"
I nodded as Daryl repeated it.
We got up and looked around to see it was starting to get dark.
" It's getting dark"
" We can't track in the dark we gotta head back" Daryl said.
Rick sighed as we started to walk back.
No one spoke on the way back.
I was lost in my thoughts as we walked further back to the highway.
" It's my fault she's out here. I saw the walkers I should have killed them on sight."
" I shouldn't have waited"
" She could die out here , go hungry , get attacked by a walker"
" It's all my fault"
I was brought out of my thoughts as we walked up the embankment of the highway and was met with the sad faces of camp.
" You didn't find her" Carol said.
" Her trail went cold , we'll pick it up again at first light" Rick said.
" No No you can't , you can't leave my daughter out there to spend the night alone in the woods" Carol said between tears.
" Aint no good tracking in tha dark jus be trippin over ourselves more people get lost" Daryl said.
" She's just 12 she can't be out there on her own , you didn't find anything"
" I know this is hard for you but I'm asking you not to panic we know she was out there"
" We tracked her for a while" I said speaking up.
" We have to make this an organized effort , now Daryl knows the woods better than anyone and apparently Koroline does too I'm asking them to oversee this" Rick said sending me an expectant look.
I nodded.
" Is that blood?" Carol asked.
I looked over and noticed that Daryl had walker blood on his pants.
" We took down a walker" Rick said.
" Walker" Carol said starting to freak out.
" There were no signs it was anywhere near Sophia" I said.
" How can you know that?" Andrea asked.
" We cut him open , made sure" I said hopping over the guardrail.
Carol sat down on the rail and looked at me and Rick.
" How could you two just leave her out there?"
Well I already blame myself I guess everyone else should too.
" There were walkers on us me and Kor led them away it was her best chance" Rick said.
" Just forgot it Rick , it's obvious who she blames here" I sneered before walking to my car.
I got my bag out and looked through it to find a new outfit , I'm still wearing the same thing I wore at the CDC talk about gross.
I changed into my black skinny jeans and my studded red half top. I laced up my studded calf boots and threw on my leather jacket.
Feeling much better I threw my dirty clothes back into my bag and laid down in the backseat.
I drifted off to sleep and was plagued with nightmares of walkers and Sophia.

( Korolines POV)
The next day we were all gathered around the cars waiting for Rick to tell us what to do.
He rolled out a weapon arsenal that Carl had found.
" Everyone takes a weapon" he said. "Koroline has the right idea with her sword its quiet"
" These aren't the weapons we need , what about the guns?" Andrea said.
" We have been over that Dale , Rick , Kor and me are carrying" Shane said.
" Can't have people popping off rounds every time a tree rustles" Shane said.
" It's not the trees I'm worried about" Andrea said.
" Say someone fires at the wrong time and herd is passing by see then its game over for all of us. So you need to get over it"
Shane said walking away.
We all walked up to the truck and grabbed a weapon. I didn't cause I had my sword.
" The idea is to follow tha creek bed up 5 miles then turn around and come back down the other side. Chances are she'll be by tha creek it's her only land mark" Daryl said.
" Stay quiet , stay sharp. Keep space between you but always within sight of each other" Rick said.
" Alright everybody lets go" Shane said.
Rick walked up to Dale and said.
" Get on those repairs we need to get this RV ready to move"
He nodded and we all started are trip into the woods.
Me and Daryl leading with the rest of the camp following behind besides Dale and T-Dog who has a bad gash on his arm.
I heard Lori talking to Carl about Shane and rolled my eyes and how obvious they are everyone can see it ever since Rick got back Thanks to me Shane has been AWALL and ignoring Lori and Carl.
Daryl looked over at me and said.
" Were you get tha bow?"
I was confused for a minute until I realized what he meant I was carrying the bow from the highway.
" I found it in a truck back at the highway it was locked in a trunk. Figured if they put a lock on it then it must have been important so I broke the lock and opened it. Ta-da I found this" I said laughing a minute before going quiet and remembering what we were doing and that this was no time or place to laugh about anything.
I looked over at Daryl and sighed.
I knew he would want to know how I knew how to track it's just a matter of time before all these people want to know what I was like growing up and everything in between before I was an angel.
I mean these people knew nothing about me they just knew I was an angel they didn't know that I was human once. Just like them I had a family , goals and things I wanted to do with my life.
I stopped thinking for a minute when we came upon what looked like a camp site there was a small fire pit and a tent.
We all crouched down and studied the small camp.
" She could be in there" Shane said.
" There could be a whole bunch of things in there" I said
Me , Daryl , Shane , and Rick went forward into the small camp.
I set an arrow in my bow and got ready to pull it back as we stepped closer to the tent.
Daryl held his hand up and pointed at Rick and Shane telling them to stay. He pointed at me and pointed back at the camp telling me to follow him.
We crept closer till we were right outside the tent. He looked through the mesh hole in the door as I looked into the tiny gap in the window.
I couldn't see a thing and I'm guessing by the shrug he gave Rick he couldn't either.
Rick turned motioned for Carol to come closer.
She walked over to Rick.
" Call out softly if she's in there you voice is the first she'll want to hear"
" Sophia , you in there. It's mommy" " Were all here sweetie" " Sophia It's mommy"
Nothing happened.
Rick and Shane stepped closer as Daryl started to undue the tent zipper.
He opened the flap a little and we all started gagging at the smell.
I bent over and heaved a little. I breathed through my mouth trying hard not to throw up.
I finally composed myself and stood up as Daryl exited the tent.
" It's not her" He said.
" What's in there?" Andrea asked.
" Some guy did wha Jenner said , opted out. Ain't tha what he called it"
He slung his crossbow onto his back as a weird sound could be heard.
We all ran towards it till I could hear what it was.
Church bells.
" Which way?" Shane asked.
" That way I'm pretty sure" Rick said pointing.
" It's hard to tell out here"
" If we hear them maybe Sophia does to" Carol said softly.
" Someone could be ringing those bells , calling others" Glenn said.
" Or signaling they found her" Andrea said.
" She could be ringing them herself , come on" Rick said as we all started running towards the sound.
We came into a clearing that a small white church in it. There were graves throughout the field with dying flowers on them.
" That can't be it there's no steeple no bells" Shane said.
Rick just took off running towards the church.
" There's no steeple rick" Shane yelled.
We all took off after rick , we came up next to him right outside the churches red doors.
He kicked them open and for a minute I thought we found other survivors. There were three people sitting in the pews. Till they turned around and I saw there rotting faces.
Walkers.
The walkers stood and started walking towards their potential meal.
Rick walked up and stabbed his walker as Glenn and Daryl took out theirs.
" Sophia" I called out.
We listened as the bells started again. This time really loud and extremely close. It had to be this church.
We all ran out the church and looked around for the source of the sound.
Glenn ran around the side of the church and opened a box. He pulled a wire out and the bells stopped.
"It was on a timer" he said.
We all looked down in defeat as the reality set in that Sophia wasn't here.
"I'm going back inside" Carol said.
I watched as her and most of the camp went inside before walking away towards the graves.
I walked out into the middle of the clearing before sitting down. I put my bow down and my quiver. I laid my sword next to them and shrugged off my jacket.
I rubbed my palms together and laid them on the ground. I gasped as I felt the power flow through me , I looked down and saw the dark veins running up my arms.
I smiled and bathed in the feeling of gaining power. The fastest way to get power is taking straight from the source this way , the earth limits what I take so I don't accidently take too much.
But doing it this way is dangerous when I take power from the earth from an element I'm not fully in control of my body I can't really control what I say It's like being under a truth spell or something. I can't control the part of my brain that monitors what I say.
Every power has a weakness.
I looked down as the veins started to disappear and knew that I had taken all that I could for right now. I stood up and put my jacket and my weapons back on.
I turned around and looked up to see Daryl standing over from me staring at me.
He walked over towards me.
" What are you doin?" he asked.
" Nothing lets go" I said stepping around him and walking back to the church.
I walked up and saw everyone standing outside in a circle.
" You guys are going to follow the creek bed back. Daryl you're in charge. Me and Rick are going to hang back search this area another hour or so to be sure" Shane said.
" Splitting us up you sure about tha" Daryl said.
" yeah we're sure"
" I want to stay too , she's my friend" Carl said stepping forward.
Everyone was quiet for a minute before Lori stepped up and said.
" Just be careful okay"
" I will" He said.
She grabbed his face in her hands and gave him a hug saying.
" When did you start growing up"
She gave rick a kiss and he tried getting her to take his gun but she didn't want to leave him unarmed.
" Here I gotta spare take it" Daryl said handing Lori a small handgun.
I pretended not to notice Andrea scoff as I tightened my grip on the gun I had on my hip.
We started are trip back to camp.
We walked further into the woods a couple minutes until Carol sat down on a log and said.
" So this is it , this is the whole plan"
" I guess tha plan is to separate us into smaller and smaller groups" Daryl said.
" Carrying knifes and pointy sticks" Andrea said gesturing to my sword.
I pulled my sword and set it against the hollow of her throat.
" Yeah well this Stick is about rip your head clean off" I growled.
" Kor come on just leave it alone" Glenn said.
I leaned closer to Andrea and said.
" You're on dangerous territory , I would think about the next few things you say to me"
I put my sword away and walked over to Glenn.
" Come on" he said putting an arm around my shoulder in a friendly way.
" I see you have a gun" Andrea said to Lori.
I went to step forward seething but Glenn pulled me back against his chest.
" Why you want it? Here take it" Lori said handing her the gun. " I'm sick of the looks your giving me , all of you"
" Carol honey , I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through and I would do anything to stop it but you have got to stop blaming Rick. It is in your face every time you look at him. When Sophia ran he didn't hesitate did he? not for a second! I don't know if any of us would have gone after her the way he did. Or made the hard decisions he made , or if any of us could do it any differently."
" Anybody?" Lori asked looking around.
No one said anything.
" You all look to him , and then put him down when he falters. I mean if you think you can do this without him then go ahead no one is stopping you"
Andrea handed her the gun back and said.
" We should keep moving"
We all turned and started back on our search for Sophia.
I walked beside Daryl and decided that I should apologize for the church thing.
" I'm sorry about earlier"
" What?"
" At the church"
" Oh" he said.
" What I was doing is a basic power surge , it helps me recover from yesterday when I passed out its a bunch of angel nonsense. Because I'm from the earth I can take power from the elements like fire , water , wind. i said that yesterday but you get the point. It's just when I do that I'm not fully in control of well my body so I can't really monitor what I say and I might have sounded a little like a jerk and I'm sorry for snapping at you"
He nodded and I took that as him accepting my apology.
I smiled a little until I heard a sound that made my heart sink.
A gunshot.
