Story Notes:

Disclaimer: I don't own AMC’s The Walking Dead. Everything belongs to whoever owns them, my wishful thinking aside.

Authors Note #1: Written for the Team Angst, Round Robin Challenge. This is the first chapter of a nineteen chapter story that will be written by nineteen different people. I chose to start us off in Carol’s perspective.

Warnings: Set post season five finale. Contains angst, adult content, sexual content, adult language, injury, blood, canon appropriate violence and scenes. Basically keep in mind our team motto: “nos epulum super vestri lacrima” or “we feast on your tears.”

Hey guys! Since we decided there could be a pattern-breaker and I wasn't so sure what to do for Carol and wanted to try to surprise everyone, this is the result. I'm very rusty on writing and there's probably some plot holes (therefore excuse any faulty logic, I tried), but I hope you enjoy. I also decided to play with present/past a little bit, thus it begins on a time-jump from the last chapter, apologies sincerely.

Well come away in and sit by the fire *beckons seductively as thunder crashes outside* Welcome to chapter 5. The last time we saw Daryl he was having a bit of trouble with some wolves *Vincent Price laughter* But worry not my cherubs, things can only get better...RIGHT??

Thanks to my wonderful betas Michelle Del Vale, and as always my good friend kaoscraze82.

Let's go on a little hike through the woods, shall we? Never mind that our protagonist is hurt, feverish, and without any supplies - I'm sure it will be fun! *cue for ominous music*

My heartfelt thanks for allowing me to play with you, as well as to the fabulous Rodgerse - Emmy - for beta reading this literally overnight. You're the best!

Ok guys, finally here is my chapter.  I fussed and worried about this for weeks before it was my turn, afraid I wouldn't be able to come up with anything! It wasn't nearly as difficult as I feared. Definitely out of my comfort zone here but I hope you guys like it!

My turn! I felt amazingly set up for this chapter by my team mates, like everyone got together to set me up for my favorite thing to write. Thoughts filled with despair and a bit of banter. ;) Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to set this up and to keep it running smoothly. Lots of behind-the-scenes work going on there. :) 


And a HUGE thank you to the amazing Caz for being my beta for this chapter. I could not gush enough about how her suggestions helped with this. Much love!! <3

Wow!  I am not a writer, and that will be clear once you start reading my chapter. Facepalm 

But I want to thank the site admins and my teammates for letting me participate in the round robin.  It was a lot of fun as well as an exercise in terror and anxiety!

My respect for the writers on this site has increased exponentially!  Writing is hard!  I'm going to go back to reading and reviewing thank you very much!

I confess this point of the story found me at a bit of a loss...  so I did the angstiest thing I could think of  ¬_¬  and now I'm going to go into the Witness Protection program before anyone actually reads it. All cries of outrage can be remitted to TheReadersMuse in my absence  Innocent

We dedicate this final chapter of the Team Angst story to our Team Captain, thereadersmuse. You’ve put an incredible amount of time and work into this. Thank you for the ride!
