The kids and Mark stayed with me pretty much all day. I saw Lee leave with one of the brothers into the woods. The other farmer brother kept staring at Mark while he was with me. I made damn sure that all the kids stayed with me. I saw the little boy named Duck wanting to swing on the swing.

I helped Clementine off the swing and put Duck on and gave him his turn to enjoy the swing. Mark looked at me and you could tell that he wanted to ask me something.

"Whatever you want to ask me you better speak up." I stated as I pushed Duck.

"Are you going to just leave after you have had your rest?" Mark asked me.

"Well it's either that or you lot come with me. I don't really care about what you do only because you lot look a little chaotic." I stated evenly to him.

"So if my group came with you it wouldn't be an issue?" Mark asked.

"Not really but you have to prove to my group's leader that you lot aren't a complete fuck up." I smirked and he laughed at me.

"Well we do have our problems but I don't think my group will be happy giving up their station to someone else." Mark explained.

"Well it's either that or you get to steppin cause my leader has a child to take care of and he will make damn sure that you lot don't endanger him." I replied to him.

Mark nodded in understanding. He knew that if he had a kid he would move mountains to protect his child. As the sun set Lee and the farmer came back from the woods. I could tell that he was not happy. Lee walked up to us and placed a hat on Clementine's head.

"You found it!" She gasped happily.

"I told you I would." Lee stated and smiled weakly at her.

I smiled at the exchange and stopped Duck from swinging. I saw some of the others walking towards us and somehow I knew that there was going to be a fight. Larry walked up to us with his usual scowl, his daughter with the same scowl upon her face.

Duck's father and mother not too far behind. They too had an angry look upon their face.

"Gee you lot are just a happy bunch aren't you?" I asked sarcastically.

Mark and Clementine laughed at me and tried to just continue with what we were gathering for.

"Why the fuck is she still here?" Larry hissed as he pointed at me.

"I am here because I need a break. You try saving two men from a large group of men with crossbows running through the woods from tree to tree no less with a child hanging off of you. No long distance weapon to speak of and being my size it's not easy. So I need a damn break old man." I growled at him.

"So out of the kindness of your heart you save these two?" Duck's father asked me.

"I value life so yes I'll try to save it. If I were you I would be happy about that because I have no issue taking life either." I stated showing him a blade that I kept in my corset.

His eyes opened wider with shock but didn't say anything. Duck's mother was about to say something when we heard the dinner bell. The farmer's mother came out of the house and told us that it was dinner time. We all slowly walked to the house and got in. I kept Sophia close to me but the felling of unease still nagged at me.

We sat at the table with the food in front of us. The mother of the farmers was talking, I sniffed the meal while she was talking and the meat smelled off. I couldn't place it. Sophia made a move to eat it and I smacked her hand and shook my head no.

The others saw this and they didn't know how to act because the exchange between me and Sophia wasn't quite. I glared at the trio that had us in their house and I was ready to make a move.

"What kind of meat is this ma'am?" I asked her.

"Well honey this is beef." She said with a sickening smile on her face.

"No it's not because I know beef and there is no way in hell that this is beef. Now let's try again what meat is this?" I growled at her and showed her that I had a knife in my hand.

"Well you just had to ruin it didn't you?" Said the younger brother.

That was all I needed to hear. I threw my knife into his head and grabbed another knife from my corset and hit the older brother in the throat. I smirked at the mother and grabbed another knife and showed her that I had no issue putting this little beauty into her fat face.

"Alright boys and girls why don't we get the fuck out of here." I told them and watched as the kids stood up and slowly made their way out of the door. The adults however didn't want to listen.

"Why there is nothing wrong with this meat. It's just normal meat." Larry yelled at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Its people. They are cannibals you old fool. Couldn't you tell? There are no other people here, there are no animal carcasses for miles, you can't even smell any animal decomp. They find people like you lot then kill them and eat them. So while we still have our limbs let's get the fuck out of here." I told them and watched as the others got on board with me and started to leave. I picked up one of her kitchen knives and threw it into her eye.

I smirked and grabbed her keys and got into her pick up. I got Clementine and Sophia into the cab and would of pulled out if it wasn't for the animal trailer behind me and Clementine pulling on my sleeve.

"What about the cow? She is about to have her baby?!" Clementine cried at me. I sighed and pulled the truck near the barn and got out. I helped the pregnant beast in to the animal hitch and got her comfy then ran into the cab and started to drive off. I saw that the other adults were walking and I just smirked.

"So where are we heading?" I asked Lee as they made their way to where ever they lived before this.

"There is a motor in not too far from here. We are going to go there then help you find your friends in the morning." Lee said and pointed down the road.

"Alright some of you lot get in the bed and I'll give you a ride." I got back into the car and watched as damn near all of them got into the bed.

I drove for a little while and saw the motor in. I let them all get out and helped the cow into the guarded area.

"In the morning we will be leaving so get your cars together because I don't want to be kept waiting." I told all of them and saw two more people.

"Oh Courtney this is Carly and Ben." Clementine told me and pointed out the two newbies. I nodded my head in acknowledgement and went to help the cow give birth.

*Morning*

I stretched and got out of the bed of the pickup. I was over joyed that the cow and calf survived the night. It didn't take long for the little calf to let us know that it was ready to be born. The little bull was adorable.

We got in our cars and drove off. We were driving for what felt like an hour and a half to see a farm. I wouldn't have bothered with it if I didn't see Goliath running up to me. I smirked and stopped the truck, I wasn't really paying attention to the fact that the others were behind me and I stopped rather quickly. I hopped the fence and got on top of my beautiful horse.

"Oh Goliath I missed you boy." I said as I leaned into his back and nuzzled into his mane.

"What the hell is going on here?" Kenny asked me. I had found out during the night that Duck's father and mother were named Kenny and Katja.

"We are near my group. This is my horse Goliath." I told them and lead the group to the gate that lead to the farm house. I kicked the gate open and moved out of the way while they pulled their vehicles into the gate house. I shut the gate and made Goliath run to front yard. I stopped when I heard Rick's voice.

"Get out of the car!" Rick shouted and kept his gun pointed at the window of the pickup.

"Wow Rick I see you have brushed up on your manners." I smirked as Goliath walked towards him finally happy that I was on his back once again.

"Courtney? Oh my god your alive!" Rick screamed and pulled me off of Goliath and hugged me while I was on the ground. I just smiled and hugged him back.

"Hey Sophia I think we were missed." I yelled over my shoulder to see Clementine and Sophia behind me giggling.

"CAROL!" Rick screamed and ran back to the others.

"Well he is an easily excited man isn't he?" Lee said as he helped me off the ground.

I smirked and turned back around to see everyone was there. One of the first people I spotted was My Uncle and Daryl. I walked to them and hugged my Uncle almost breaking his ribs. I then turned to Daryl and grabbed his face and made out with him on the spot.

Once I couldn't breathe I pulled back and touched foreheads for a few seconds.

"Do not leave me alone with these people again do you hear me?" Daryl said and wrapped his arms around me.

"Well then you better make sure that I have a reason to stick around Dixon." I smirked and wrapped my arms around his neck. I placed my head where his neck and shoulder met and bit him a little.

"Tease." He growled at me.

"You know you love it." I stated and bit him again.
