Thread: Too Far Gone [Ama + Randomname98766789]

Rick's affirmation that they were welcome eased a lot of tension that Angela had been feeling as she wondered if her and her partner were truly welcome there. Luckily, it seemed that the leader understood what it was like to know you were on the wrong side - though his calming statement didn't change the fact that Angela was going to work to do the best she could to prove that he made the right call. As several days came and passed and the group put distance between themselves and the cannibals, she made herself useful in tending to any wounds that came up even a scrape could cost a life if not treated carefully these days as well as helping with any cooking and night watches. While she wasn't nearly as good with a gun as most people were, she wasn't clueless either as Tara had taken her to the range on more than one occasion before before the dead had started walking and afterwards it had been especially important that Angela's gun skills were up to par. After Rick had dug up the bag of guns he had stashed, she had gotten her hands on a glock that she kept close at all times - luckily, she was yet to have a reason to use it. She was better with a knife anyways, but sometimes getting that close to what was trying to kill you was rather nervewracking. But of course, when a terrified scream rang out in the distance she couldn't help but want to come to the owner's aid. Had she not learned the first few times that other people were dangerous? Well, yes, but that it wasn't in her nature to ignore someone in need of help. Knife out she ran along side the others, downing one of the dead before she even looked at the scared, cowering man who had pulled himself on top of a large boulder in order to get away from several of the dead. He looked utterly defenseless and too scared to even try, and Angela wondered how in the world the man had managed to survive so long with that attitude. It was quickly revealed that the man had never even killed one of the infected, and that so far he had spent his time holed up in a small church near by. This was the farthest that he had ever gone. Eventually, they made their way to the church and it was deemed clear. Several of the group went with the priest to check out an overrun food bank in hopes of gathering supplies, which left those who remained to keep themselves occupied for a little while. Like clockwork, Angela was checking on Tara's ankle every time she got the chance. After a few days it was looking better, though the blonde imagined that the piggy-backs she had offered her girlfriend definitely helped keep the strain off of the sore joint. Regardless of the fact that Tara should be fine, Ange was still a worrier. Has it been hurting you lately? She asked as she pulled Tara's pant leg back down, hoping that the answer to that question would be an honest no. ---- While Maggie Crowell wished the best for this man, the brunette was more cautious than ever after recent events. Though spending the last several days at Josh's side had been a relief after the fall of the prison and their capture at Terminus, nothing could undo what had happened. For all they knew, they were walking in to the trap. Like Josh, that didn't stop her from wanting to help though and with the day slowly coming to an end the offer to check out Gabriel's church almost seemed too good to be true. Of course, Rick felt that way as well. The man took the head of the group, following the priest towards a small church and as they reached it most people waited outside as Rick and several others looked through to make sure they were safe. When all was said and done, the place did appear to be empty. Father Gabriel had not lied that he was alone and that made how someone so defenseless had survived this long alone seem even more nonsensical. In the end that was due to the fact that just before society had fell, a food drive was being run. The pastor had spent the last year and some living on canned goods and nonperishables, looting every nearby area that wasn't over run. When Abraham wanted to get the bus outside fixed up to move on to Washington, that idea was put on hold. Everyone wanted to rest, recuperate and gather supplies. Eventually it was decided that Bob, Sasha, Rock and Michonne would take Father Gabriel towards the food bank. After they left, everyone who remained at the church was given a chance to relax. What do you say, to going to Washington? Maggie asked her husband in a soft voice as they sat on one of the pews.
