We arrived at this tall building I assumed was the apartment and noticed a few strays in the window.  I stood there and observed What they were doing.  It seemed that They were eating something... Or someone.   

"Alright we stay together, me and Glenn cleared out the first couple floors but haven't looted them.  I'm gonna ask you guys to get only important things.", Rick says to us.  The people who were here was Carl, Patrick, me, and a girl I haven't met but she had blonde hair and was really pretty.

We nod our heads and follow him inside.

"Pick a room and put as much stuff that's useful in these", he says handing us little bags.

I see the other 3 go in the first 3 rooms so I had to go in the one closest to the staircase that leads up.

I right away saw some ammo and put It in the small pockets then I saw some food cans- I soon realised this was a abandoned hide out.  People used to live here... But why did they leave so much stuff?

I continued searching every corner and inch of this room.  I got the important stuff and was about to leave when I heard screaming.  I recognized the scream and grabbed a gun that was on the floor then ran to the room.

I saw Patrick on the ground with a stray flat on top of his struggling body.  I quickly thought of what he taught me me and aimed down the gun and pulled the trigger... I closed my eyes as I watched the stray fall on top of him and he layed there, breathing heavily.  I ran over to where he was and pushed the stray off of him.

"P-Patrick?", I studder feeling a tear run down my face.  He was my only friend... He can't leave me already!

I layed my head on his torso and listened to see if his heart was still beating normally.  It was, thank god.

His eyes fluddered back open revealing his Brown eyes.  "Fucking hell-", He starts.

"You shot it!", he says happily as he sits up.

I nod my head and smile shyly.  I pull him into a hug just as I see Rick and the others come in.

"What happened we heard a gun shot?", Rick asks.

I smile and Patrick explains.  "A walker attacked me and Anna saved me by shooting it"

"Well good job, Anna", Rick nods.

I smile lightly and we all grab whatever we could from the rooms that we're surely safe then left without hesitation.

"Dad!", Carl shouts in a panic.

"What's wrong Carl?!  Where's Lori?", Rick asks and Carl drags him in the prison.  I was about to chase after them but I was pulled back by Patrick.

"Hey, you don't wanna be around Rick when he is worried or angry...", he explains.

"Oh"

"But thanks for saving me back there.  I guess I'm a pretty good teacher.", he teases.

I giggle and he pulls me to the side of the fence and we look out into the forest.

We stayed like this for a while when I broke the silence, yes I broke the silence.

"What's the funniest voice you can make?", I ask and look at him.

"What why?", he questions.

I shrug my shoulders.

He takes a breath and then starts talking.  "Hi I'm Phineous!  I love building and creating inventions!"

I start laughing at the major change in voice.  He went from medium pitched (regular voice) to squeaky pitched (high voice).  "I used to be on a Disney show 'Phineous and Ferb' I played Phenious", he blushes.

"That was w-weird", I joke.

"Yeah.  I know", he says with a laugh.

Suddenly we hear screaming from Rick and crying from Carl.

We run over and see Rick going slightly insane- slamming his fist on the wall, kicking the ground, all that jazz - and a girl carrying a baby!

"Anna!", my dad calls to me.

Patrick and I rush over I stay close to him because I know I can trust him but I don't know about the others.

"Fuck!  NO!  Shit...!", we see Rick shout at the wall and punch it.

"Rick!  Stop punching the damn wall!  It's not helping nobody!", Glenn shouts.

He stops punching the wall a while later but we aren't covinced he's through with his tantrum.

"Carl, come here baby.", an lady with short Gray hair says sweetly.

While all this stuff goes on I couldn't help notice the crying baby laying on the hard, dirty ground.  I ran and picked the child up and walk back over to Patrick.

"Shhh.  It's gonna be alright.  Shhh.", I whisper quietly to the baby who had stopped crying by now.

Everybody looked at me and I had to breathe in and out to not run off.  I rocked the baby in my arms and smiled down at it.

*/*

People were gathered around a fire that we were having to cook some beans we found in the supply cabinet.  Rick wasn't eating neither was like half of the group.

"So Anna.  Who'd you stay with before you found us, and your father?", the blonde haired girl asked.

"Nobody... I hid i-in a room under a desk."

"What about food?"

"I had cereal bars and some fruits."

They look at me shocked.

We all start to get tired.  I had learnt everybody's names but still didn't feel comfortable around most of them.
