Life of Illusion- Rick Grimes x reader

Two months.

"Are you sure you'll be okay? Glenn's only ever done runs by himself," Elyse asks as she helps Emily load the car for the group to leave.

"We'll be fine, look at us," she looks around, her eyes catching Erens, "we've made it this long."

"And we'll keep making it, hopefully without any geeks on our asses," Glenn says walking up to the two sisters.

"Just be careful," Elyse says to the two, "remember, aim for the head."

They nod and get in the cars with the rest of the group that's going.

It had been two months since everything started. The night they watched the city get bombed, they created small ties with the people around them.

The entire group had enough to last them a few weeks with everything they had combined, but after that, they had to start scavenging. Daryl tried to reason with Elyse that they should eat the dog, but everyone protested to that idea.

People liked him less than they already did after that comment.

Up until this point, Glenn had been doing all the runs. He was quick and knew how to get in and out of places without being caught, which meant he had chances against the geeks.

Every once in a while they would have one come too close to camp, but Daryl would usually catch it before it would get too close.

Everything had gone by so quickly, the food, the supplies, the time. It still felt like the entire group hadn't come to terms with what had happened, and somewhere along the way Shane and Elyse took it upon themselves to help guide the group.

Elyse made her way over to Lori who was helping Amy sort through mushrooms for the group.

"Any luck?" She asks looking over the two.

"How do we tell if they're poison?" Amy questions.

"Uh, there's only one sure way I know of," Lori says squinting.

"Ask Shane when he gets back?" Amy suggests.

"Yeah, you've got it." Lori gets up with her mushrooms and walks into the forest to go and try to find Shane.

Elyse looked around while she looked over everything, trying to see if Carl was up. It took a few seconds, but Carl unzipped his tent and yawned, obviously still tired.

"Hey champ," Elyse says roughing up his hair.

"Wheres Emily?" He looks around for a second.

"Oh, uh, she left already," Elyse says, worry in her voice. "But don't focus on that, why don't you get something to eat, and then we'll help you and Sofia go over times tables."

He nods and walks away, she watches as he makes his way over to Dale, who helped him grab a quick bite.

"Hey," a voice said, scaring the crap out of her. She turned around quickly to see Eren.

"Oh, hey. How are you doing?" She asks, clearly referring to Emily who was on the run.

"I could be better. I know she can handle herself, but I still worry. A geek could get her, or she could fall, or she could fall and then a geek could get her."

"She'll be okay, she'll probably come back with loads of stuff that Glenn would probably miss."

"Yeah, probably," he says, walking with her over to a table that they help teach the kids at, "I just can't shake this feeling that something bad's gonna happen."

"Yeah, me either."

Emily POV

"What the hell is that guy doing!?" Andrea yells while all of us watch him climb on top of the tank surrounded by geeks.
