"Beautiful killer"

Daryl, Aaron, Jesus and Angelina are watching a large herd of walkers from a distance. The girl's greenish gaze watches as the undead circle around aimlessly, she stands confused as she has never seen them do that before.

"Have you ever seen them do that before?" Arron asks

"No" the girl says keeping her skeptical gaze on the herd.

"Rosita's back trail goes right through 'em" Daryl says

"We should pick up the horses, circle around, then we'll pick it up on foot" the man finishes

"What about them?" Angelina ask

"What about 'em? For the time being they ain't hurtin' anyone" the Dixon man replies

"Yeah, but that ain't normal" the young girl states looking back at the undead 

"Nah. No it ain't" Daryl says then walks away with Dog I'm tow. Angelina turns on her heel and follows after the man

...........

Nightfall fell upon the group quicker than they expected. Angelina and Daryl come across what looks to be an old barn. Dog pants and Angelina looks down that the animal

"Go on boy go find him" she orders, Dog quickly obeys and runs off following Eugene's scent. The loyal companion whines indicating he's found something. Daryl walks up to the spot to see a pile of hay

"Good dog" Angelina praises the animal

The group stand around the spot as Aaron speaks up

"Eugene are you in there?" The man asks

After a few seconds of silence Eugene speaks up

"Affirmative"  the three men quickly remove the hay and lift the wooden object to reveal an injured and frightened Eugene 

"You okay?" Arron asks

"I took a bad step and dislocated my knee" the man explains

"Well if it's dislocated we can just pop it back in" Angelina suggests

"No. We need to get out of here" the man says

"The herd that followed us here is on its way back"

"Eugene we followed its trail. It's gone" the brunette explains

"No it's on its way back. It's looking for me, this wasn't a Normal herd"

"Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" Angelina deadpans

"Angelina I'm serious. We could hear them. They were whispering to each other" the man insists

Angelina gives Daryl a skeptical look and looks back at Eugene

"As in, they were talking?" Angelina says

"Look I know how it sounds but rosita heard it too she'll tell you" the man says shakily

"Yeah okay. Come we should get you back" Daryl says and helps the man to his feet
