ACT TWO
(the strangers)

    AIDEN STARED at the helicopter, while the trio watched the aircraft which was currently smoking. They could only bring themselves to look away when Andrea began puking.

They immediately jumped into action at the sight, Aiden holding back the woman's hair while Michonne rubbed her back.

It wasn't long til she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, causing Michonne to pull her up. "Don't push yourself."

They then moved her behind a bush, still watching the aircraft that was smoking.

As Aiden stepped closer to investigate, Michonne tied her walkers to the tree beside Andrea.

When he reached the helicopter, he wasn't shocked to feel a presence behind him. "Gross." He mumbled, looking at the man who had been sliced in half.

"Lost my appetite." Michonne said, also peering a the body.

"That's a lie." Michonne smiled a bit at his remark, her smile dropping as two trucks suddenly appeared.

As soon as the duo saw the vehicles, they ran back to Andrea.

While they ducked behind the bush, they couldn't help but peek over. Curious on who the trucks belonged to. "Any survivors?" Andrea whispered as she turned to Michonne, who sat to the right of her.

"Two dead, not sure about the other.. Someone's coming." As if on cue, the trucks parked beside the helicopter.

Although the trio knew they were out of eyesight, they still felt nervous. So as they stared at the men that were now examining the aircraft. Andrea chewed her nails.

"Save those rounds until you need 'em." One of the strangers commanded.

"He must be in charge." Aiden whispered to Michonne. "Looks like a dick."

While normally the woman would've cracked a smile at the man, she was far too busy watching the scene unfold in front of her.

The group had spread out, some going deeper into the woods while the others kept close to the helicopter. "Got a breather.. Tim!"

At the leaders voice, a scrawny boy ran over to him. The two moved around a bit. Though the trio didn't know what they were doing, when they pulled the live man out of the craft. It was clear they were helping him.

"He's saving them. We should show ourselves."

At Andrea's suggestion, Michonne immediately turned her down. "Not yet." Aiden nodded along with his friend's words, still keeping his eyes trained on the men.

They watched as he stabbed the two dead men, and just as he began walking back to the alive one. His attention was turned away.

Unfortunately it was now turned towards Michonne's walkers. The dead duo had been making extra noise, making all the strangers take a few steps closer.

Michonne was quick to act, cutting the walkers heads off as she kneeled beside Andrea once more. Aiden couldn't help but sigh in relief as the leader spoke up. "Let's roll out."
