We Are The Walking Dead

Chapter 1

Rick walked through the prison. He was off watch, and thought he should find Judith. As always Beth had her on her hip. She had grown since the dreaded day Lori died. Even though it was a possibility Judith wasn't his, he planned to be her father and never tell her any different. Carl had also told him that she was like a full sister to him.

There at the prison the people from Woodbury held there own. The fences were becoming a problem though. Walkers lined up at there every day. It was getting bad. At least 70% of the world if not more had turned. They hadn't lost many since getting the people. Daryl and Glenn to a few other newbies with them on runs.

Rick hadn't been on a run in a long time. Since Hershel had taught him farming, that was what he took up. They domesticated wild pigs and horses that ran in the woods. The pigs were used for food and the horses were used to farming and also food if things turned for the worst. Rick hoped that day would never come, but since shit hit the fan there was nothing he could do.

The leader that's what they thought of him as. He didn't think about being a cop anymore. It was just a distant memory now. Just like Lori, her laugh, her smile, her everything was beginning to fade. He no longer seen her anymore accept in the nightmares. Rick was sure he had PTSD, Hershel also had that thought, but wouldn't tell him for sure.

Every night he woke up with chest pounding heart beats, and memories. Some of Carl dying, or his friends like Daryl or Carol. Walkers eating or killing them.

Though everything was doing good Rick could never be at ease. Until this sickness was at end che couldn't. Walkers. They needed to be stopped, but it seems like shit keeps hitting the fan, as Daryl liked to call it.

He just didn't know what to do anymore. If he lost Carl or Judith he'd fall off the deep end. They were the only thing keeping him going anymore.

Daryl and Glenn had been on a run to find some medical supplies. They should be back soon.

Rick walked more through the prison making his way to the outside. He thought he would check the plants.

When he got outside, he decided that a good rain wood be nice. The clouds overhead said that it might come soon.

The sound of a car came from the road. When he saw that it was theirs, he headed to the gate to meet up with Daryl and Glenn. Carl was at the gate to open the door.

They made it inside without any walkers trying to get in. he was confused when he saw that there was a girl in the back seat. She looked dead.

"Is she alive?" Rick asked nonchalant. He was used to people being dead now.

"Not sure, we checked her over. No bites or scratches. She had a weak pulse, and was unconscious. Glenn talked me into not leaving her with the walkers. Damn Koreans, could talk a tree into being thrown into a fire for someone to live." He laughed at his on joke.

"What about the questions?" He asked slightly skittish.

"Didn't get to. Thought we could throw her to Te walkers if she's crazy killing person." He said as if it didn't matter.

Rick thought a moment, but finally gave in, "Okay, if you think it's right then so be it."

A couple of hours later, the girl was awake. Rick wanted to talk to her.

When he went to the infirmary, he was surprised when he say a half starved beat up woman. With many bruises. Those were not made by walkers.

"Can I have a minuet, Lina?" He asked one of the women who came for Woodbury, who took over one of the nursing positions.

"Sure thing mister Grimes." She said.

"Lina, call me Rick. Please." he was tired of people speaking to him as mister.

"Sorry. . . Rick." She said and left.

"Okay miss, can I ask your name?" He asked.

She just glared at him.

"Okay then, I have three questions for you. If you don't answer the right or at all you will be threw outside of the prison the the walkers. Got that?" He used his leader voice.

She was still glaring, but gave a slight nod.

"Okay how many walkers have you killed?"

"To many." Was all she said.

"How many people?"

"One."

"Why?"

"He was trying to kill me." She said.

"Okay good, now can you tell me what your name is."

"Go fuck yourself." She shot toward him.

"Okay, well let me speak to Daryl."

He started to walk out.

"Evelyn."
