You follow them back to their camp. There are other people there too. You get introduced to everyone, and finish up the snacks you had left in your backpack because you didn't want to start eating these people's food too.

That night you get some sleep in a sleeping bag next to Michonne. You finally felt somewhat at home being with this group who was kind enough to take you in.

The next morning you wake up just as everyone else was, you were a very light sleeper so it wasn't hard to get up this early. "So, what do we get to do today?"you asked. "Kill walkers and find safety" replied Rick. "Here you'll need this"Daryl hands you a shotgun. "Hey, thanks." you said, glad you got to try out a different weapon. "Jillian, Michonne, Carl, and Daryl are in one group, all the rest are with me." said Rick. "Ok, cool lets go guys!" you say super confidently. "Hang on little girl, not so fast." Rick told you. "We meet back at camp towards the late afternoon." There were a few mumbles "ok", "yup", and "alrightie" from some people, but we were mostly quiet. You didn't show it, but you were really excited to be going in a group with Carl, you were so glad that there was at least one kid here your age. And of course that he was a super cute boy! While scouting around with your group, you start chatting with them about what they had before the apocalypse, and how it all changed. You started about your popularity and style and friendliness, trying to get Carl's attention. But suddenly he just said, "ya, but you know what, that's all gone now, so it doesn't even matter anymore!" You were shocked and a little hurt, but instead you tried to agree, you said"Ya I know, it sucks." You liked Carl, but he did not really seem interested so you said "Carl, do you have any siblings?" He replied "Ya, but my mom died because of it." You were glad you got him talking, but you felt so sorry for him. "Oh my god, I am so sorry Carl!". "Ya its okay, it wasn't your fault." he said.

Hours later, you had killed a fair amount of walkers and were headed back to the camp. "You know, I am really thankful to you guys for accepting me and stuff." you said. "Yep."said Michonne not really focused in the conversation. "It's the least we could do." said Carl. You were happy that he didn't seem to hate you anymore.

Back at the camp, you met back up with the other half of the group. That night everyone was much more talkative and you got a chance to talk to everyone and you even ate with them. You seemed to become family to the group, and you were so happy that you met them all.
