I've been on my own long before the world went to shit. My mother and I lived in kings country right across the street from her friends, Rick and Lori, I was so scared Rick would see my scars and take me away, my mother told me my father didn't want me anymore and that's why we left, she always took her anger out on me, I hated it and enlisted as soon as I could, I was only halfway threw my medical training when they put me into training as a foot soldier cuz the world went to shit.
"Y/n are you sure we're going the right way" this kid was driving me nuts "yes Sophia" I found her in the woods a few days ago, she made it pretty far from where she said her group was. She was only a few years younger than me but she didn't know the first thing about survival, sure my dad thought me how to hunt and trap before I could walk and before my mother took me but in this day and age, she should at least know how to shoot.
"It's time to leave" it was dawn of the second day, we found the highway and slept in the car that the note was on, "they said they'd be here every day" she protested "this is the second day Sophia, they're not coming, there comes a time where you have to stop looking" her eyes filled with tears knowing it was true "let's go"

We've been on the road for eight-ish months, I've been teaching Sophia everything I've learned in the army, and I'm pleased to say she's a badass now, she's no longer that small timid little girl I met in the woods "shame" we stopped and saw an overrun prison "we can clear it" she looked at me like I was crazy "I have a plan" she nodded.
She healed off the walkers as I cut open the fence, "in" she didn't need to be told twice, I quickly used some wire to tie the fence back together. We knelt behind one of the watch towers and I pulled out a flare "I'm going to throw this to the far corner, while I run in and shut the inner gate I want you to make noise draw them to you and take them down" she nodded
The flare landed right where I wanted it to, Sophia opened the gate and I ran, the walkers were distracted by the red fire and her screaming. I had to take out a few stragglers but nothing too bad, kicking a few of them back into the inner courtyard I closed the gate and chained them together with some chain and a couple of carabiners. I turned my attention back to Sophia, she had a good few down already. All of their attention was on her so I went up behind them and took them down, in no time we had the courtyard clear "watch towers "she nodded and we went our separate ways to "clear" I called out walking out of the last one
"We'll take the inner courtyard in the morning, same plan but you're in the watch tower, you've gotten pretty good with the bow" she nodded as we took a few of them out "start a fire, ill skin the food"
An hour before dawn we decided to get into the courtyard "the last flare" taking off the cap I lit it and threw it. Sophia was in the tower taking them out with her compact bow and the 100 arrows we've made the last few weeks, she focused on the ones closest to me than back to the distracted ones when I was clear. Once the other gate was locked I pulled the crossbow off my back and started to pick off the other ones with Sophia "behind you" she called out "shit" two walked in with riot gear on I looked back for a split second and the others were starting to turn to me.
I kicked the first riot gear guy down and went to the second, I got close enough to push his head up by his chin and shoved my hunting knife into his neck angled up to his brain. The other one was still on the ground he was having a hard time getting up, he was an easy take down. "Only 5 left" I mumbled Sophia being the badass she is, took down three of them while I fought the other two "come down, let's push into the cell block" she nodded.
She opened the door on my count my crossbow at the ready, we walked around but it was clear, just corpses, she gave me a set of keys and kept one for her self "good work" we fist bumped and got to work removing the bodies from the cell block.
She was out in the inner courtyard by herself, the hair on the back of my next stood up something was wrong. Outside there was a group of people, one of them had a gun to the back of her head "you clear this yourself?" that gruff voice sounded familiar "she had help" they all turned to me, "y/n" I lowered my weapon "uncle Rick" I ran to him and pulled him into a hug I pulled away and saw a tall man with greasy hair behind him "dad" I ran into Daryl's arms and gave him a bear hug "Sophia?" Carl was the one to break the silence "ya" she smiled, all of their eyes widened, she looked nothing like the little girl I picked up on the highway.
"I still can't believe the two of you cleared this place" we sat around the fire "I taught her everything I know, that made it easy" my head rested on dad's shoulder while Sophia's was in her mother's lap. "We thought you were gone" Carl spoke to her, "I thought so too, till Dixon saved me"
