Alexandria (not finished :/ )

Chapter 1

Run. Just run. That's all I can think about right now. I pump my legs as fast as I can as I hear the groans and growls of the walkers behind me. I glance to my left to look behind me, only to see the hoard close behind. I mentally curse myself for not remembering to bring more ammo with me. Now, I only have one option. TO THE TREES! ( if you get that reference, you're awesome.) I hurriedly climb the tallest tree closest to me, sitting on the highest stable branch I can find. The walkers surround the bottom of the tree aimlessly looking up at me trying to get me. As I catch my breath, I can actually think. CRAP . I just backed myself into a corner. Now I'm stuck. Great. But, just when I think about whether or not I will rot in this tree, I hear gunshots and the sickening thuds of bodies hitting the ground. I look down to see a boy with a large hat on, a man, and a lady with a katana and long dreads held together by a multicolored head band. Once all of the walkers were laying lifeless on the ground, they looked up at me. "Ya need some help?" Said the man, in a low gruff voice. I climb down slowly, jumping on the last branch to the ground."Yes. I did. Thank you sir." I admit, being nice to my rescuers. "My name's (Y/N)." I say introducing myself. "Rick Grimes. That's my son Carl and my friend Michonne." he says, pointing to the boy then the lady. "Do you have a group?" asks Michonne. "No ma'am. I've been on my own for a while." I say. "How many walkers have you killed?" Says Rick. " Umm.. too many to count sir." I say." How many people have you killed?" He asks." Uh... 8." I admit, getting flashbacks of all the times I had to kill a living person."Why?" He asks. "Well, my mother, father, brother and my best friend were bit and told me to shoot them...so I did. Then, 3 men captured my other friend, so I killed them. But I got there too late an they had shot her in the stomach, but she hadn't died yet." I start to choke up a little, as I try to hold back a couple tears."She told me that she didn't want to become one of those things and hurt innocent people so she told me to do it." I sniffle as a single tear escapes and rolls down my cheek."Hey, it's ok...we understand.Would you like to come with us? We live in this community called Alexandria. There is plenty of room and supplies so you wouldn't be a bother." asks Rick. "Umm..." I pause for a moment,composing myself, skeptical about his offer. "Ok. I guess so." I say, wiping the tears from my eyes.

~Time lapse to when you guys approach the outer walls~

"Woah..." I mutter under my breath as I see large cement walls, at least 20ft high."Yah, that's what I thought when I first got here." whispered Carl to me. I never thought I would see someone, let alone a guy, my age ever again. The last person I saw my age was my best friend (friends name), but she/he got bit and died a long time ago..."Hey, you ok?" Carl says waving his hand in front of my face. " Hmm? Oh! Yah I'm fine. Just lost in thought I guess." I say, a little embarrassed. Rick takes out a walky-talky from his belt as we get to the front gate of the compound,and says,"Hey, open up." a little harshly to the person on the other side of the line. The large, rusty front gates squeak and rumble open and you all enter the walls.
