So, come on then, who's seen the trailer? What did you lovely people think? I won't post spoilers just in case you haven't seen it!
I'm not happy with this add, I've been trying to force it out of me all day... I don't think I'll have any for you this weekend though because I've got my niece and nephew overnight, coupled with the fact I'm on-call for my sister-in-law who's a week over her due date tomorrow I'm a busy bee this weekend/next week.
I'll try my hardest to get some more up (better content too).

Daryl broke through the brush first, closely followed by Tyreese and finally Glenn, three sets of lungs were burning from physical exertion but they continued to race forward.
"How far?" Glenn asked.
"I think we got turned around." Tyreese replied breathlessly as Daryl floored yet another Walker, he yanked his knife free from the skull of the corpse and moved backwards as the herd surged forwards. Mangled body upon mangled body crashing into trees and falling over uneven terrain as they tried to get closer to the three men.
"It's this way," Daryl decided, pushing forward through the trees, "C'mon!" He all but growled at the other two men.
Despite their aching limbs, Glenn and Tyreese sprinted to follow Daryl.
"I don't think this is the way!" Tyreese panicked, the herd was gaining on them.
"We don't have time to argue 'bout this Tyreese," Daryl hissed, "Just trust me."
"Trustin' you might get me killed." Tyreese retorted bitterly.
"Firin' that gun when you did might be the reason we're all killed, I know these woods like the back of my hand, trust me."
Tyreese looked conflicted as Glenn put down yet another Walker.
"Whatever we do we gotta do it now!" Glenn snapped.
"I'm tellin' you, the prison's that way." Daryl stated angrily, he was trying to save his life why was this man being so stubborn?! "If I'm wrong, you can shoot me." He added with a shrug as more Walkers broke through the brush.
"I won't have to shoot you if we're already dead." Tyreese grabbed the knife from his utility belt and slashed at the closest Walker to him.
Daryl and Glenn worked as a double team to take down the other three Walkers, stabbing and slashing, punching and kicking until they were standing alone in a clearing surrounded by corpses with the all too familiar sound of Walkers in the near distance.
"Trust me." Daryl tried again.
Glenn nodded his head, "There was no doubt that I trust you." He told him but Tyreese stood motionless, "Tyreese, come on man, Daryl practically lives in these woods."
"It's easy to get turned around when a horde of the undead are pursuin' you." Tyreese hissed through gritted teeth, "We need to move in the opposite direction the Biters are comin' from."
"No we need to carry on this way." Daryl insisted, "It's more dangerous but it gets us back to the prison in 10 minutes."
Tyreese looked unsure despite Glenn nodding his head as Daryl spoke, he didn't know why he'd bothered agreeing with Rick when he suggested they go for the run. He hadn't done a lot of tracking and he got reprimanded for killing the only Walker he managed to put down.
"Are you with me?" Daryl asked urgently, the Walkers were close now, he could hear the crunching of leaves on the ground.
Tyreese nodded once and began moving towards the two men that were now moving deeper into the forest.

Carol rocked back on her heels and looked up at the top of the bus, Michonne stood with her feet parted and shoulders squared as she stared out at the darkened woodland. "Anything yet?" Carol asked anxiously.
"I'm sure you'd be the first to know if Daryl was back." Michonne mumbled then finally looked down at Carol, "No...sorry."
Carol nodded once, obviously concerned, they should have been back ages ago.
"He's likely to come find you once he gets back anyway," Michonne told her in an attempt to comfort the woman, "He always does."
"I know." Carol replied quietly, she placed her hands on the tops of her arms and stared down the desolate road leading up to the prison.
Nothing.
She sighed inwardly and turned to face the prison, mentally cursing herself for not speaking out about her concerns.
"Holy shit." Michonne breathed, jumping off the top of the overturned bus in one swift movement and breaking into a sprint, Carol turned to see what she was running towards and immediately started running too.
Sure, there was Daryl. And Glenn. And Tyreese. But also, closely behind, were dozens of Walkers scrambling over their selves trying to get at the three clearly exhausted men.
Carol could only watch as Daryl sunk his knife into the skull of the closest Walker, out of the corner of her eye she saw Michonne tear open the gate and heard her call Glenn's name, drawing their attention to the now open gate.
The three men ran towards the open gate, Michonne stood poised and ready to attack any Walker that came close enough while Glenn and Carol put all their weight into closing the gate. Ignoring the snapping Walker heads, Carol turned to make sure Daryl was in one piece.
"I'm okay." He panted. "We all are."
Rereading this, I'm really sorry, it's not good. But I just wanted to get them back to the prison. Hope it wasn't TOO disappointing.
