Beth's POV

"Well look at you two, tough little girl's aren't ya?" the big guy said.

"What do you want?!" Olivia yelled at him.

"We saw you take down those walkers, you girls are strong. How would you like to join us on our mission to save the world?" he said.

Olivia and I looked at each other puzzled. "What?!" I said.

"Eugene here is a scientist and my mission is to get him to Washington, he knows a cure and he will be able to get everything back to how it use to be" he said.

Now we were really confused, could he be serious?

"What's the cure?" Olivia asked him. "That's classified." the guy with the mullet answered.

"Are you serious?" Olivia asked, "I could not be more serious." the big guy answered.

"My name is Abraham, this is Eugene and Rosita." he introduced himself.

"My name is Olivia, this is Beth and that my sister and her son" Olivia said. "We're headed to Washington too."

"We would like for you to join us and help us protect Eugene on this mission to Washington." Abraham said. Olivia looked over at me and her sister who nodded in agreement, I just shrugged like ok.

So we decided to join them. We walked back to gather our stuff then followed them back to road. They were driving a huge military truck, we road in the back of it.

"Do you trust them?" I asked Olivia,

"I don't know but they're going to Washington too. Maybe they're looking for the same place we are." said Olivia.

I didn't think we could trust them so I was going to keep my guard up, something Daryl had taught me was that you couldn't trust everyone but I thought it was possible to give them a chance.

It was a couple hours later and we stopped because the truck ran out of gas. We were nowhere near any other vehicles so there was no way we could get more gas. Abraham was angry and began to yell.

It wasn't long that we stood there when a herd of walkers began to head our way. Our backs were facing the walkers so we did not see them coming the only one that did, was Eugene. He had never used a gun before but began to shoot at them, missing and shooting the truck.

Abraham yelled at him for wasting the ammunition and puncturing the gas tank making it useless. Eugene didn't hit one walker so the rest of us had to go fight them off.

Once we cleared the area, Abraham stood there glaring and extremely pissed at Eugene, we had no vehicle. We were screwed.

"We'll need to start walking, the suns going down in a couple hours, we will need to find shelter for the night." I said. I had really grown into someone who could really contribute to a group, I knew what was best for us to do and right now it was to find shelter.

We walked for a couple hours until we found a church, the windows were nailed shut and covered with wood pallets. We thought there either could be someone inside, or there once was.

Abraham approached the church first to secure it for the rest of us. Rosita followed behind him as he banged on the door with his big fists. No one answered nor did we hear any walkers inside. It wasn't till we heard a thump like something fell that we knew there was someone inside.

"Go away!" they finally said. "I have nothing here for you."

"We just need shelter for the night?" Abraham responded.

"How many of you are there?" the voice asked.

"7, there's 7." Abraham answered.

"I don't have food, if that's what you're looking for!" he said.

"That's okay we are not here for food." Abraham assures him.

After a couple minutes of conversing and hesitation, a man dressed in a black suit opened the door, he was dressed as a priest.

"I do not have any food or water if that is what you are seeking." he said.

"We just need shelter for the night, we do not wish to stay longer than a night, we have a destination and a time frame to reach it." Abraham said.

The man let us inside the church, he told us he was Father Gabriel and that this was his church before it all went bad. He had been living here since the beginning, he had a lot of empty food cans he had collected from a food drive that his church was having, but there was nothing left. He was alone the whole time and I personally didn't know if we could trust him.

I mean I didn't even really trust Abraham but, he was headed the same way we were.

Daryl's POV

Daniela and I had been driving for a couple hours now, we stopped every time we ran into a car to pump the gas. It slowed us down because before we knew it the sun was coming down. That night we slept in the car Daniela was in the back seat and I was in the front.

I couldn't sleep, it was impossible for me to sleep knowing there could be walkers out there. That they could come attack us any minute. I tried getting comfortable in the front seat and adjusted myself a couple times until I caught Daniela's attention.

"Can't sleep either huh?" She said. I stared out into the night sky and said, "Na."

"Hey can I ask you a question?" she asked shyly.

"Ya." I answered

"The girl you were with, the one you said was a survivor from your old group?" she began.

"Yeah what about her?" I asked.

"What do you think happened to her?" she asked.

I wasn't a share-my-feelings-kind-of-guy, I didn't like telling people how I felt.

"I don't know, I tried tracking her, I wanted to keep tracking her, but I didn't want to face something I didn't want to find out about." I said.

"You never know Daryl, she may still be out there. Just because things get hard sometimes doesnt mean you have to give up. Can I tell you something?" she said.

"Go head" I said.

"I know I don't know you and I didn't know you before either but, its okay to talk about it. If you want to talk about it...its okay to talk about it. Its never good to hold things in. Just so you know..."

I didn't say anything, then she moved over to the front seat and sat next to me.

"I had someone too, he was my fiancée, we were engaged for 6 months before the turn. Our wedding was supposed to be in the summer ha, I always wanted a summer wedding. It's sad to think that things will never be the same because this is the end and we're just living in it."
