Thread: Too Far Gone [Ama + Randomname98766789]

When Tara first met Josh, he asked her three questions How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed? Why? It never made sense until now. Hearing Rick recite the same questions to Father Gabriel proved those three questions helped judge whether a person was allowed into the group. After the walkers were taken down, Gabriel jumped down onto the ground as Rick asked these questions. According to Father Gabriel, he had neither killed any walkers nor humans because the lord abhors violence. He did not even carry a weapon with him and he vomited quite violently after he was rescued. It truly was wonderous how he survived this long without being killed by humans or otherwise. After checking the man for weapons, he revealed that he had a church. In return for rescuing his sorry ass, he would lead the group to the church to make shelter for the night. As they walked, Rick continued pressing the man about himself and the church. There was much left to be desired. It did not appear he could contribute much to the safety or production of the group. Plus, Tara generally disliked clergy members in the first place. Rick and a few entered the church behind Gabriel, finding it empty. Abraham suggested they could fix the bus and drive it to Washington D. C. Before that, Michonne suggested they should rest and resupply. For the moment, they group agreed with the latter idea. Inside the church, Gabriel had been living off of the canned food drive from the church that occurred before the apocalypse started and Tara remarked how convenient it was. Yet, he has scavenged all places near the church other than a food bank that is surrounded by almost a dozen walkers. Rick and a few others decided to check it out, but they were forcing their new group member to join them because they did not trust him. In the shape Tara was in, she obviously could not join the group. She needed to rest. If it were not for Angela offering many piggyback rides the past week, her ankles would have been in miserable shape. So, the girl finally sat down on a pew in the middle of the church. This place was quite hot and humid as the sun peered directly into one of the windows, so she sat on the opposite side of the structure. Her body was halfway turned, placing her injured leg up onto the pew and stretching it out, laying her ankle onto the arm on the end of the row. Listening to Angela, she offered the woman a soft smile. She knew how much her girlfriend worried about her, even when there was no reason. With honesty, though, she could finally tell her about the excellent progress. Well, thanks to my sexy nurse that carried me around and tended to me each day, it doesnt bother me. After we walk for a while, it gets a little sore, but it is nothing I cant handle. Within a few more days, she should have a total recovery. Now, enough about me. Sit down here, Ange. How are you? She asked since Angela had been thankfully focusing on her for so long to help with her injury Tara wanted to make sure that her girlfriend was doing well, too. --------------- Once everything had settled down at the church, Josh placed his and Maggies bags down onto one of the front pews. Sitting down first, he pulled Maggie beside him, stretching her legs across his lap. She was sitting to his left, so his left arm wrapped gently around her neck as his right hand tangled with both of her hands. When she asked him what he felt about Washington, he could only offer her the truth of how he felt. I think it sounds crazy, but we should give it a shot. After all weve been through, I think finding a cure sounds ludicrous. But, if we were in high school and someone would have told us that after we graduate college, the dead would be walking the Earth, I would have said that was the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Maybe someone does know the cure. Maybe that someone is Eugene. Either way, maybe D. C. will be safer than anywhere else. I dont think we do any damage by checking it out. If hes right, then the whole world as we know it changes. If hes not, then well regroup and keep surviving. Josh squeezed Maggies hands before kissing each of her palms. It felt so good to relax with her for once. Carl stood guard near the door, leaving everyone else to their own terms to relax. What do you think, my love? Josh questioned. The only reason he felt so optimistic was because of Maggie. Just having her involved in his life made him believe that anything was possible. They still had a chance to make something special out of this life cure or no cure. He could not help but glance down towards the wedding band around her finger, feeling thankful that she wanted to marry him. It had not been the marriage they ever intended to have, but it was theirs, and it was special.
