I walked hand in hand, with my brother along the train tracks, once again trailing behind the now smaller group of men.

Sophie slowly walked less than a meter in front of us, whilst my dad walked along, talking to the men about some guy who killed one of their men, in the bathroom, of a house they were in. to be honest...the man sounded a lot like rick.

'Luke?' I whisper shouted

'yeah?' he replied, pulling the strap of his rifle higher on his shoulder.

'that guy they're talking about, he sounds like Rick...'

'I'm sure it isn't...Rick could be anywhere...I doubt he's anywhere near us'

'you're right...I was just hoping-'

'I know, I know...' he sighed, desiring the same thing I did.

'I miss him...'

'I know, I miss him too.'

we had only walked a few more meters before I noticed something...

'Lukey?' I said using his nickname

'what?'

'what's that sign?' I asked, running towards it, sophie and Luke running behind me.

'Terminus.

Community for all

sanctuary for all.

those who arrive

survive.' sophie read out the large letters

I ran my fingers along all the different paths, that had been marked out onto the map, leading to this "TERMINUS" place.

'i think, we should go.' I said, still staring at the sign.

'me too...' Sophie agreed.

'guys...i don't know...it seems safe, but they could be anyone...'

'Luke, please...just trust me on this...' I begged

'I trust you.' he smiled

'Yes!' Sophie cheered

'what you guys doing over there?' the leader guy shouted over to us.

'huntin elephants!' I shouted back, sarcastically.

'hahaha very funny, what you really doing?' he asked again

'lookin at a sign for terminus...' I shouted, truthfully this time

'don't believe anything it says, it's a bunch of bulshit.' the fat guy said

'do I look like I care?' I asked, narrowing my eyes at the fat bastard.

'you really hate him don't you?' Luke chuckled

'you have no idea...' I muttered and walked away from the sign.

*that night*

we'd been walking for hours on end, when suddenly the guy in the bandana pulled is all to a stop...

'that's him, that's the guy who killed lou' he pointed at a man through the trees...

'who? I can't see him.' I said, trying to get a better look at the man.

'Daryl, you and your kids stay here...we'll deal with them' the fat guy said, more like demanded us. dick head.

'whatever, but if things get serious...I'm helpin out.' dad said

'that's fine.' the leader said and walked through the trees, with his men following behind him.

me and sophie stood at the tree line, whilst dad and Luke stood further up the hill.

'Lydia!' sophie said, elbowing me harshly in the arm.

'what? that hurt!' I said, rubbing my bruised arm.

'that's michonne and rick...' she pointed at them.

'wait...there's somebody in the car...' I said, trying to see.

'Lydia...you're not gonna wanna hear this but that's Carl...'

'DAD!' I shouted and ran towards him.

'what is it?' he asked

'the people down there' I panted

'what about them?' he asked, with a small chuckle.

'it's rick,michonne and-and-and' I gasped, tears threatening to spill

'Carl...' sophie finished my sentence

immediately, dad and Luke sped off down the hill, with me and sophie running closely behind them

'STOP!' Luke screamed, gaining everyone's attention

'we told you to stay.' one of the men said

'leave them alone, they're good people' dad said

'now Daryl...that's a lie, and you know what we do to liars...'

suddenly some of the men, threw my dad to the ground, Luke shooting aimlessly at them. Sophie dived on one of the men's back who were holding a gun at michonne and rick, michonne and rick both got up and started fighting with the men, leaving me stood on my own.

I looked over next to the car, seeing the fat guy about to rape Carl, he had him pinned to the ground...

'CARL!' I shouted and ran at the fatty, pulling him off Carl...
