Addiosn and I are trying to go to Hilltop but we can't go very fast because of her knee. She can walk on it for an hour at the most so that means we havw to stop ever hour. Especially since we have Judith with us to. When we get to Hilltop I know we're going to see everyone there because I know that's where they would go.

It's frustrating not being able to walk for more than an hour. I mean, Aaron and I can't find a car that has gas so that's out of the picture. I guess it's only another 3 hours to get to Hilltop so 3 and a half in our case.

Since Aaron and I stop for a quick break, because of my knee, I pull out a water bottle and give some to Judith. After that I go to put it away until Aaron stops me. "You need to drink some." I just sigh and drink a bit so we dont end up arguing. "You need some to." He takes the bottle and takes a drink. "Lets get going." He says while we get up and I start limping towards Hilltop.

When Aaron and I come out of the woods outside of Hilltop my heart just sinks as I see all the walls knocked down and all the trailers and buildings on fire. Aaron looks at me with the same look. I start walking as close as I can and end up on my knees. Aaron comes up behind me with Judith in his arms. I can hear her starting to cry so I stand up and rock her back and forth while Aaron looks around for any tracks. After about 5 minutes Aaron gives hands me something that makes me start crying softly. "Addison, he might not be dead." Aaron says hugging me. I let him while I hold Carls hat tightly in my hands. "C'mon. They can't be far ahead." After that I take Judith and Carls hat while we walk off. Hilltop was the one place we had left to turn to so we can start over, to keep building on our community, have a safe place for Judith to be raised and grow up. But now it's gone. Aaron and I know that everyone from Alexandria saw Hilltop because there's no one here which means none of them could stay around and look at this. They're broken, and so am I.
