Seemingly endless days of searching for Sophia had put the group in a generally bad mood. Everyone was angry and bitter, most of them already having lost hope, but avoiding mentioning the fact. No one wanted to tell Carol that her little girl was most likely dead. Momo didn't see any reason to say something out loud that everyone already knew- then she'd be the bad guy. So, she kept her mouth shut. She wasn't cruel- just honest. And this particular truth seemed cruel. Daryl seemed to be taking it pretty hard, which to Momo seemed a bit odd. As the small group traveled through the woods, all of them on yet another useless search for Sophia, the sound of something rushing towards them came from their left. Turning, machete in hand, Momo waited, tense, ready to strike if she needed to. Fortunately, the threat appeared in the form of a young woman riding a horse. She was beautiful- long brown hair, slightly tanned skin, bright eyes. She seemed in a hurry, rushing her words, taking off with Lori before Momo could even comprehend what had just happened. Turning to the group, she took a moment to let the words catch up with her. Carl had been shot. The girl was inviting them to her family's farm. Hearing her brother's voice, Momo turned to look at him. I'll go with you. She told him, shrugging. There really wasn't any point in asking her. Momo barely left Glenn's side, even as children. As everyone began making their way back to the highway, Momo clutched her weapon tighter, feeling slightly on edge. She didn't believe that the woman who had shown up was any danger to them, and she didn't think the woman was lying- how would she know Carl and Rick's names? But even so, Momo didn't trust her. She didn't trust anyone, not fully. The only person she trusted completely was Glenn. He'd saved her, even though she could take care of herself, he was her savior. Climbing into the truck with Glenn and T-Dog, who had a horrid infection, Momo sighed loudly. The sun was beginning to set now, and they'd arrive at the farm in completely darkness. As the RV disappeared behind them, Momo wondered if it was possible for them to find Sophia. Maybe everyone would end up okay, and they would finally have a good day. She wasn't going to count on it. By the time they arrived at the farm, it was dark, as she had thought it would be. Shutting the truck door softly, Momo made her way to the steps and waited for Glenn to join her. You alright? She asked him quietly. Maggie had been attending business as usual on her family farm when everything had happened. It had been a completely nice day- everything had gone well, and Otis was out hunting for some meat. They expected to have a nice dinner, with hopefully some deer, later that night. Maggie had already planned to make some potatoes as a side, and had asked Beth to wash and peel them, while she went and fed the chickens and checked on the horses. Hershel, Maggie's father, was inside for once, reading the bible, rather than outside tinkering with something. All in all, it was peaceful. Until she heard shouting. Pushing the door open, Maggie looked out into the fields and saw two men approaching, one of them carrying something. As they got closer, she could see it was a young boy, and he was bleeding. As her father came rushing past her, Maggie's heart began to race, fear of a possible bite making her slightly unsteady on her feet. As the man began to explain what had happened- apparently Otis had shot the boy- Maggie's father had already begun to make preparations to begin checking him out, and possibly doing surgery. After he alerted the boy's father- who's name was Rick- that there was a bullet still inside, Rick began to speak of the boy's mother. With a name on her lips and directions in her mind, Maggie was sent to retrieve the mother- her name was Lori, and the boy's name was Carl. Rushing outside, Maggie grabbed the reins of one of their horses and jumped on, wasting no time in rushing out into the forest. Shaun wasn't home right now, but Maggie knew that someone would inform him about where she'd gone, if he happened to arrive before she got back. Maggie wasn't worried about her safety, she had a bat, and she could ride a horse just fine. She was more worried about Carl, and his family. As she approached a section of the woods that Rick had assumed his wife would be in, she could hear screaming. As she broke through a section of trees, she saw a blonde woman on the ground, one of the dead on top of her. Smashing it in the head with the bat, Maggie began to call out for Lori. After she had the woman safely behind her, and had given the rest of them directions to her family farm, Maggie was off again, rushing back home. When she finally had a minute to sit down, Shaun arrived- a welcome sight. Smiling softly as she stood, Maggie took Shaun's hand gently as they walked the horse back to the stable together. You sure did. I'm glad you're here now, though.
