When Sage woke up, her fingers stretched out to sought out her daughter's warmth. Of course Kaylee Jo drew herself closer to her mother. Ever since the world went to shit, she expressed to Sage about her bad dreams—a constant reminder of walkers lurking around.
Sage propped herself on one elbow. There was enough light to see her daughter curled up by her side, cocooning herself by wrapping her arm around her mother with her cheek pressed against her. In sleep, Kaylee Jo looked peaceful, but Sage knew how the world took a toll on her daughter. Nevertheless, she meant everything to Sage. She didn't know what to do if she saw her lovely face collapse into a bloody mess if she was ever attacked by a walker.
She carefully moved Kaylee Jo's arm away from her and slid her hunting boots and gloves on. Such supple leather molded to her feet and her hands. Sage then gathered her long dark hair and tied it so that the wind wouldn't blow it against her face before she put on her belt that carried her hunting knife and machete. Finally, she grabbed her compound bow and quiver filled with arrows.
As Sage stepped out of her tent, it was hardly the break of day. Not a single person was out. Not the leader of the camp, Shane Walsh. Not even her older brothers. They had been with other survivors outside of the city for almost a week now. At first, it was just her, her brothers, and her daughter looking out for each other, then they found the camp. They survived this long, and Sage was going to make sure it stayed that way.
When Sage made her way into the trees, she thought about what foods were roaming freely. Inside the woods, they were just ready to be picked out. It was the only way for the group to eat though since it was too dangerous to go into the city. The only concern Sage had was if a walker managed to sink its teeth into an animal's flesh. The meat wasn't any good then. Luckily, her old man taught Sage and her older brothers how to live in the wild since they often went camping when they were little brats.
