Before 1x01 and 1x02

Rays of warmth hit her hair and stroked her face, illuminating the entirety of the tent. I absentmindedly push the blanked over my light filled face only so glimpses of intolerable light rushes my face, then slowly after two minutes or so I lift the blanket from my face and slowly stand up get new clothes on and grab to put on my shoes. Slowly I rise from the depths of my tent and walk over to put my dirty cloths in the wash wrack knowing fine well I will be the one to clean them later. When I here from the distance
"Look who chose to join us" Lori says with a sarcasm
"Ha, your not funny you know I reply
"How you doing sweetie" she asks
"Good i guess just long night" I answer
"Em,beds are so uncomfortable" she says
"I know right I'm like 90% sure I have a broken back"I assure
"Haha" she laughs "so you ready for that run tomorrow" she asks
"oh I guess im kinda scared have to take care of more then me"I respond
"Well that's normal I'll give you a hair cut when you get back" she says
"What a reward"  I respond "thanks Lori"
"It's ok sweetheart, can you forgoing real quick ill go after ok"she asks
"Of course see ye"I respond
I walk of ,pick up the bucket and walk of into the endless woods that surrounded our euphoria

I walk though the tall uneventful trees looking for something that's at lest half edible, we need food we're not running out for-say but we will and we need to be ready for anything, anyone. Not much happens out here,no walkers are around here they don't come this far but they might and that kinda scares me I think I don't wanna die not now.
I pick some strange looking mushrooms off the ground hoping there not poisonous and move on just a conscious cycle of pick up hope it's ok to eat and if so eat. Shane will know I'll ask Lori to talk to him.
I have a strict rule of not talking to rednecks like Shane and I'll never break that rule.
*crack* my head swiftly turns to the left I peer round some trees but nothing.

"Anyone there" I bellow
Nothing  not even another crack
"Hello"I scream "who's there?"I ask
Then I here the dragging of body parts behind me the a light moan that is to recognizable
A walker,right behind me,right now, fear rushes through my body, my shoulders tighten and my hand become slippery,I remember scream not for a long time just for a second. Then almost instantly the adrenaline kicks in and before I know it my knife was embedded in its head so deep the whole blade seeped in. Something about the way it made me feel it's was horrid but the adrenaline was to determined It happened in a blur.After I pulled it out of its gruesome head,I thought they don't come this close something's up something's wrong, something close to close for comfort.
Then snap I'm back to reality
I have nothing else to do but walk back contemplating if i should tell them or not,better who I should tell, who would do something about,I mean what could we do, we can't stop them and we can't leave there's no where else to go,I'll just keep it to my self it'll be easier no one has to worry but me and I'm ok with those statistics personally.
Just gotta pull myself together ,maybe it's only one ,I hope it's only one.
I wasn't far from camp only like a mile or so, so it didn't take a long track to get back. By the time I did dale was handing out food for dinner some old beef jerky Glenn found and Shane tested my mushroom (they were non poisonous) and we had some of them it was nice for what it was even if it wasn't much it was food. Dawn had struck us faster then we expected I guess that's what I get for waking up in the middle of the afternoon.
"Anything happen out there I there i heard some screams" Dale asks
"Just fell im fine" I reassured
"Mh,ok" he smiled
"Some jerky and mushrooms kid" he said
"I'd love some,thanks" I mellowed
He hands a plate full of mushrooms and only 2 pieces of beef jerky, the jerky was very stale but the mushrooms are good they taste kinda weird though
