Days later.

We've been walking for days now.

I whinned " Can we take a break?"

Dad nodded " yes"

We found a spot in the middle of the woods.

.....

We had put some strings around the trees as wall.

Michone had made a fire.

Dad " how hungry are you, scale of one to 10?"

Carl " 15"

Me " 23"

Michonne " 28"

Dad chuckled " yeah it's been a while. I'm gonna go check the snares."

Carl " can I go with you?"

Dad " Well, how else are you gonna learn?"

He killed the fire with mud.

then he nodded at Michone and me " hey, you too"

We grabbed our stuff and walked away.

Dad " We'll stay another day. Get some rest. "

Michone " finish healing up?"

Dad nodded " I'm almost there"

Carl" We're close now, right?"

Dad " to Terminus?"

Carl nodded " yeah"

Dad nodded" we are"

Carl " when we get there, are we gonna tell them?"

Michonne " tell them what?"

Carl shrugged " everything that's happened to us. All the stuff we've done. Are we gonna tell them the truth?"

Me " we don't even know if they are good people. There could be another Governor or worse"

Dad " let's hope not"

I scoffed.

Suddenly we heard a walker.

We took out weapons out and Michonne killed it.

Dad " there we go. It's a small one".

A rabbit.

He put it in his bag " so, this is just a simple slipknot. Tie one on both ends, then you tighten one side to a branch. Now, you see how the ground here is sort of like a tunnel shape?"

Dad pointed at it.

Carl " It's a trail?"

Dad nodded " That's right. That's where you want to set the noose. So you hide it with leaves. Then you put sticks all around it so any animals going by have to run this way right into the trap. "

Suddenly we heard a man yell for help.

Carl ran to that direction.

Dad " Carl! Carl, stop!"

I ran after him and held him back.

There was a single man surrounded by walkers.

Carl " let me go"

I pushed him with me behind a tree.

Dad and Michone came to me.

Me " we can't help him"

They were eating his face.

Two walkers saw us.

I hissed " go"
