A/N: I'm back and happy to write again! Let's get right in with the chapter. The girl shown above is Kat. Enjoy ;)

Kat's POV

Recap~*~*~*

Out of nowhere, the hungry dead things that wanted for sure to consume me made me angry. My boil boiled in fury and I rose up from my bag and killed all of them.

These were the ones who vanished my family...my friends...

And then I realize that once, these were innocent people like me too, but I don't care anymore.

Then I remembered what my father told me before he rested his eyes: Just survive somehow.

Four Years Later...
(A/N: hey I'm just going to do a time-skip to four years later so now this chapter will take place in season 4 of TWD.)

I stuck my dagger into its skull, blood splattering onto my dirty face as it fell backwards, lifeless. I couldn't help but sigh and continue trudging along. My footprints were fresh on the muddy dirt.

What if I were to eat today?

My mouth was watering while the thought of delicious food and my stomach clenched. It rumbled loudly and I thought I could eat anything.

I chewed on my lower lip impatiently, my belly growling once more.

I need food...

My mouth was as dry as a desert and if I didn't get some type of fluid of water soon, I'd be done for. Suddenly, the things began popping up out of nowhere.

Shit, shit shit.

I began to run for my life out of the hungry herd and seconds later, when I thought I was out of energy to sprint, I reached for my dagger.

My heart dropped. It wasn't there any longer...it must've fell out!

Shit!

I resumed running for my dear life but I thought I wasn't going to make it. I decided to pull out my gun, even though I had weak aim and almost no bullets, and more of those I encountered.

I began shooting like crazy.

My heart pounded in my ear drums and I felt like I was somehow going to be sick. I was out of bullets. Only one thing down.

I thought this was going to be the end. The end of my life.

"Just survive somehow." It rung in my ears. "Just survive somehow," I spoke aloud. Before I knew it, gun shots were going off.

Who the hell...?

A boy around my age appeared out of nowhere, really, and had shaggy brown hair, almost like the color of the Sheriff's hat on his head. His sparkling, ocean-blue eyes hit me while our eyes locked hard. He killed the rest of the them.

He just saved my life...

Who was this quite attractive teen boy? Did I know him from anywhere?

I don't think I've seen anyone in years, let alone a boy.

The boy was slightly pale but I couldn't help stare at his face. Those beautiful eyes...I've never seen a pair so blue.

They're probably bluer than the deepest ocean waters.

I was in a daze when he actually said something. "Are you alone?" He asked, his gun pointing to me. I was shaking all over still from what had happened. I swallowed hard and nodded. I don't think I could speak.

A brief pause.

"How many walkers have you killed?" He questioned.

"Um, a lot." I smiled the smallest of smiles. I felt my cheeks flushed greatly.

"How many people have you killed?"

"I've k-killed four," I replied without further hesitation. "Why...?"

"Well, they were about to turn, so," I muttered. The boy lowered his gun. "I have a group and we live in a prison. It's pretty safe...plus, I don't know how much longer you've got here," he suggested warmly.

"A group?"

He nodded and grinned. I felt my heart beat faster. I think I was blushing again.

This is what I've been waiting for. A group...food...shelter...water. My stomach growled again.

"T-thank you so much. I thought I'd be stuck here forever." My head sank to the ground. "No problem." And so, I followed him along to this 'group.' Could he be possibly lying? Could I trust this boy?

It's impossible to trust anyone these days.

But trust is overrated. It's either survive or die.

I choose to live.

A/N: I just wanted to say thanks for reading this sucky chapter. I honestly thought it was better but I guess my writing will get better over time. Anyways, don't forget to vote and comment. Thanks:)

Have a great day!
