y/n was born deaf. Having parents who were awful wasn't gonna bring her down. Over the years since she moved out of the house and had her own place to call home in Georgia. Now the apocalypse has started, she has to navigate her way through survival...
You were still running, running from the place you once called home. Stopping on a small hill you needed to catch your breathe. Hands were stained red, your face was probably as well.
You saw the sight of the now destroyed prison, smoke escaping the windows, the plants now smashed into the ground, and bodies everywhere. The dead have claimed the prison back.

Realizing now that you were alone, no Daryl, no Rosco, or anyone else, just you. The image of Hershel was still in your head, he was your family, he was taken just like how Dale was taken.
Getting up using a tree for leverage, you were leaving yet again another safe place.
~ Maybe about two hours have passed, you were still recovering from the sickness, sweaty and tired, but you had to keep going, you had to look for Daryl.
Deciding to rest against a tree you took off your bow/quiver setting it on the ground. Unfortunately you didn't have any water with you, and you didn't have food either. Rubbing your belly to bring comfort to the baby.
"It's okay, we're gonna be okay.", taking the quiver looking to see how many arrows you had left dumping all of them out, until a small silver circle fell out along with the arrows.
Picking up the small circle you realized it was a ring, a beautiful yet simple ring. Tears spilled from your eyes yet again, "Oh my god." You slipped the ring onto your finger. "I do." Smiling down at your hand, a flicker of hope ignited in your body.
~ Walking along a dirt trail humming to yourself, the forest was a nice place. The cool air helped with the blazing heat.
A deer came across your path stopping you. It's big doe eyes boring into your brown eyes, slowly taking an arrow placing it on the string you pull back, then letting it go.
Using your knife to cut the deer open, the smell was burning your nostrils. Setting a small fire cooking the deer meat.
A snap of a twig stopped you from eating your food, getting an arrow ready looking around you.
There was nothing, yet you felt like there was. Only the trees surrounded you, then a fumble was heard making you run deeper into the woods.
What felt like forever your feet were aching that it looked like you were tumbling, then all of a sudden a body, two bodies had crashed into you.
Guarding your belly from being hurt you saw that it was two children. A boy and a girl, the boy was older by the looks of his tall frame, and the girl was younger, probably no older than Beth.
He pointed a gun at you breathing heavily, the girl behind him hiding from his back. "Who the hell are you!" He questioned having a scared face.
Then the girl emerged from behind him, "Luciana stop!" He shouted at her, but was futile.
'Stop, you are scaring her, can't you see she's pregnant' she signs to him, with one hand he signs back 'I know that, but she can be dangerous'.
You clapped your hands to get their attention, "Hey, I'm deaf as well.. I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." You signed to them while also talking.
The girls face beamed with joy, you showed her your rose hearing aids, then the boy put his gun down but was still having his guard up. "What's your name?"
"My name is y/n, what's yours." "Joaquín, that's my sister Luciana" he signs back, the girl couldn't stop looking at you, even though you probably looked like shit.
'You, me and my brother can all be together' she signs happily, you smile at her then back to Joaquín. He breathes out combing his hands through his hair, "uggh fine but she better keep up."
"Thank you"
~ Later on that day you spotted a river signaling to the two kids. Looking into the water you washed away the blood from your hands and face.
There was a cut going across your right cheek, you forgot about what happened just for a split second. "So how'd you get this way, you look like shit" he cups the water into his hands taking a sip until Luciana smacked him making the water splash into his face.
'Be nice' 'Okay okay' he rolls his eyes looking back at you, "Well my home was destroyed, by a very bad man. I killed a woman who tried to kill the younger kids in our group."
Joaquín's eyes softened just a bit but went back to having a serious face. Luciana engulfs you in a hug burying her face into your neck, hugging her back smiling.
'I noticed your ring, it's very beautiful' she pulls away signing, pointing at your hand. 'Thank you'
"Let's go we're loosing daylight, need to find a place to sleep."
'Sorry about him he is just like that' 'It's okay he remind me of my boyfriend'
She helps you up to your feet, following behind Joaquín. 'We can rest here, tomorrow we move' he signs to you and his sister.
You could tell he had a hard time trusting people, but you didn't blame him, people are just as dangerous as the dead, maybe worse.
~ Nightfall came quick, Joaquín was poking at the small fire while Luciana was sleeping on your belly. "Joaquín" having a low tone brushing Lucianas hair.
He looks up at you, "yeah", "I want to properly thank you, for taking me in, I know trusting people off the bat isn't your forte. I can tell you and your sister have been through enough."
"Don't think that I'll start trusting you just cause my sister likes you."
"I know, I wouldn't trust me either, people are just as dangerous. But you are a good person Joaquín, wished there were more people like you."
He didn't understand why you were being nice to him, maybe it was because his own mother didn't show this affection towards him and only his father.
"You remind me of my dad, he had tats, had a calm demeanor, and he was also deaf. He always knew what to say with very few words."
'He's a coda', smiling at him, you grab your handgun switching off the safety, "go ahead and sleep I'll take first watch, you could use it."
He lays next to you also resting on your belly across from his sister.
"Please be safe Daryl"
