Thread: Too Far Gone [Ama + Randomname98766789]

Waking up was always easier with Angela. Tara started the day with a smile on her face as they joined the group. They shared a couple tender moments before coincidentally catching Rick. The woman felt somewhat awkward because they had once been on opposing sides of a battle. Yet, Rick decided to strike up a conversation. In typical Rick Grimes fashion, he was brief, quiet, but sincere. He recognized that neither knew what they were doing that day, he held no ill will, and thanked them both for helping members of their group survive and find each other. It was everything Tara wanted and needed to hear. She no longer felt like they were out of place or that Rick viewed them as enemies. Besides, everyone seemed to take a liking to Tara and Angela so far. The next few days were spent similarly, walking along the road when it was daytime and making camp out in the woods by night. They had little supplies and were living off what they hunt or scavenged. Tara put her skills to use with a gun with hunting animals. She might have only been training in the academy, but she had been using guns almost her entire life. One of the days they were walking, they heard someone screaming for help rather loudly. Rick is reluctant to help until Carl finally convinces him otherwise. Tara followed suit, joining the rest of the group to find the origin of the screams. -------------- During their days of traveling, Joshs hand did not leave Maggie unless he needed to. When they split up to search for nearby water sources or animals to hunt, Josh always went with Maggie. It might not always be like this, but Josh had quite literally not left Maggies side and vice versa now that they were reunited yet again. Josh hoped it would stay like this, but he knew they would face variables other than no shelter. At nights during their time making camp, they cuddled up tight, kissed, and talked. Josh was increasingly thankful to have Maggie back in his life. When they heard the screams, Josh realized it could have been a trap. Rick mentioned how it was none of their business, but Carl and the others were quite hellbent on saving whomever was in need. Josh greatly agreed with the younger man, thinking they should at least check out what was happening. One thing that Josh would never do was lose his sense of humanity or altruism. All his life, even before going into the military, he wanted to help people and make a difference. This was no different. As dangerous as it was, Josh was one of the first to suggest they offer help. When they dashed into the woods, the group found a man dressed as a priest. He was standing on a rock, surrounded by walkers. He was unarmed and looked helpless. Even though there were a handful of walkers, Josh noticed that he personally taken out more walkers by himself many times. This preacher was absolutely clueless about defending himself. Either way, the group quite easily dispatched the undead surrounding the man who introduced himself as Father Gabriel. Josh wondered how he was going to be handled by Rick, if they were going to leave him where he was or let him join their group. It looked like leaving him alone meant certain death.
