Strangers // walking dead \\

Chapter 1

*watch clip for Enid's backstory*
Enid pov
I've been alone for ages now, months maybe even a year, I'm not really sure.
I'm just so used to being alone that I feel as if it's just me left that it's me vs the apocalypse.
I've killed endless amounts of walkers, but only 2 humans. But
I really don't think the dead are the problem I think is the living.

I walked for hours on end, travelled down roads k thought would never stop, slept in homes that were almost as dead as there owners.
And I promised myself I wouldn't give up.
I'd just survive somehow.
Although now I feel my self slowly giving up on the world, giving up on myself.
My feet were aching like mad, I have no bullets left, no water and no food. It's been days since I even came across a town.
My feet began slowing down i just kept telling myself keep going Enid you'll find something or someone.
And I did find something, well I found a lot of somethings.
They weren't dead and weren't alive.
I had no Energy left, and this hourd was way to much, I began walking again down a street where there were a small group of walkers only around 7, I could probably take them down but I wasn't risking anything,
I saw a small gap in the well surrounded trees so I took my chance and began walking that way, the growls of the undead got faint really faint.
I lifted my head to look straight, and something caught my attention, I could hear the sound of water, it was really quiet, it sounded like a lake maybe river.
My heart started beating faster as I felt excited, I know on a world like this nothing is as it seem but I was desperate.
I came across a beautiful lake, the water was pure blue and fresh from the waterfall feeding it.
I dropped my bag at the side of the water and feel to my knee, I undid my bottle lid and filled it with the fresh and pure water. Every sip I took filled me with a happiness I hadn't felt in ages, well at least not since my family was with me.
But of course nothing lasts for ever something has to come along and ruin it.
A rustling noise came from the tree Behind me.
I heard something coming closer, I shuffled back and fell over a tree.
"Shit" I whimpered.
"You alri? Lil'one" a man with a southern accent and a crossbow.
I grabbed my knife and tried getting up but the pain in my ankle causes me to fall on my ass.
"Here, I'm daryl, you are?" he put his crossbow on his back a held his hand out.
I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Let me help you" he smiled.
"Daryl?" A mans Voice shouted as his figure appeared from the trees, he was wearing a sheriffs outfit and had a Colt Python.
He was followed by boy the same age as me.
He had long dark brown hair, a sheriffs hat and icy blue eyes.
He smiled at me and I Looked down.
Daryl held his hand out again and pulled me up.
"Ow" I whimpered.
"Sorry, what's your name?" I lent down to grab my bag and before I could daryl pulled me up and look to the bot and the boy grabbed my bag.
"Do you mind that's mine?!" I argued.
"I'll just carry it for you" he smiled again.
"Thanks" I mumbled.
"So who's this?" The sheriff asked daryl,
"How about you ask me yourself officer" I snapped  sarcastically.
"Okay wha-" I cut him off,
"Enid and you sheriff?"
The boy laughed and so did daryl.
"Your chopsy"
"I like it" he said.
I smiled.
"Thank you"
"I'm Rick his is my son Carl and you've met daryl" I smiled at Carl and looked up at daryl.
"Do you have a group?" He asked me.
"No it's been me for around a year I think"
I put my head down.
"Sorry, how many walkers you killed?" He asked another question.
"Way to many to count"
" I hate those bastards" I added.
"Me too" Carl laughed
"What about people?" Rick asked.
"Two men" I began to tear up.
"Why?" Rick asked.
"I don't want to talk about it" I sniffled.
" hope your okay" daryl ruffled my hair.
"Don't touch my hair hillbilly" we all laughed.
"We have community, it's safe there, your welcome to come with us, we have food and our doctor can help you"
Rick mumbled on.
I put my hand up,
"You had me at safe"
I smiled.
Then we got walking, it wasn't too far from where I was, it was on the opposite side of the lake.
I let go of daryl and stopped so Carl could catch up.
"Can I just get my water from the side of the bag?" I asked.
"Yeah of course, I'll get it" he reached to the side and pasted me the bottle of water.
"Here you go"
"Thanks...Carl?"
I hesitated because I couldn't really remember his name.
"Aha yeah your welcome, Enid"
I limped behind him and put my water back.
I walked to his side and almost fell but he wrapped his arm around my waist.
I looked up at him my eyes widened and I felt my cheeks getting warm.
"Uh-th-thanks" I stuttered gazing into his eyes.

Rick shouted.
"We're here" and I quickly pulled away from Carl's grip.
My eye opened wide as we came to these huge metal walls framed with huge copper beams.
They all looked at me. I took two step forward.
"Woah, you guys live here"
I could here people talking.
"Told you it was safe" Rick smiled.
"Welcome you your new home" daryl
said.
The Carl put with hand oh my shoulder.
"Welcome to Alexandria"
