The Walking Dead

Ch6 Newcomer

Hopes's POV

Me and Nicca volunteered to come with Rick on a supply run. We have been driving for hours until we saw a grocery store and we decided tp check it out.

I got out of the car with Nicca and Rick. Rick told us to ready our guns and knives. "I'll go first and I'll signal if its clear already." Rick said while Nicca and I just nodded yes. "Nervous?" Nicca asked "Duh... Its my first time." I said.

"It's clear." Rick said. Nicca and I entered the store and the two of us are surprised because the store looks secure and there are barb wires around it. "Looks like someone has been here" Rick said while we're gathering supplies. "Think twice before doing it." I heard Nicca behind the shelves and I quickly ran towards her then I saw a kid.

The kid's alive and Nicca is pointing a gun at her and I saw Rick also pointing so I pointed my gun too. The kid is still strong, she looks nice she has a straight black and she's also pointing a gun at us "Who are you?" Rick asked like a cop should sound... He is a cop... "I'm Karen, I've been living here alone for weeks." Then she looked at me and asked "Do you have a camp built around here?" she aske but I looked at Rick first and he gave me a signal to say something to her. "Yes" I said "Can I join?" she asked then Rick answered "Only if you answered my 3 questions." Rick said calmly. "What are your questions?" she asked "How many walkers have you killed?" Rick said "I don't know." She said sadly because she wasn't be able to answer his questions correctly. "How many people have you killed?" Rick asked again "none" Karen said. "Why?" Rick's final question.  "Cause I never saw live people for a very long time. She said back. "You passed." Rick said while Karen is just like jumping out of joy. " but I need to take your weapons." Rick said while taking her weapons. "Okay" Karen said while handing her weapons to Rick.

Rick's POV

As we're like five miles away from the prison, I accidentally hit a walker and our car just like got out of control but thank God that nothing happened bad.

When we got to the prison I saw Joshua and Beth opening the gates. As we got out of the car. "Woah... There's a Newcomer here." I heard Joshua said while going inside the tower with Beth. I walked towards Maggie and said "Maggie, take her to the council and tell them to keep her gun away from her and tell the council to teach her stuff. She pointed a gun at us and I confiscated it already." I said whispering it to Maggie.

Karen's POV

I'm not happy that Rick confiscated my gun but I still am thankful that they accepted me and they also told me that I am going to have chores around here like other kids do.

The next morning, I woke up in a locked cell and I saw a girl smiling at me. She has this dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. I saw that the girl is walking towards me with a smile while holding keys. "Hi, I'm Rory... You must be the new newcomer that came here yesterday." She's nice and I saw her friends coming from behind and then there I saw the two kids that's with Rick yesterday. "You better come with us to know your position in this group." A tall, strong built man with eyeglasses walks toward me and introduced himself "Hi, I'm Joshua." He said in a happy tone then I looked at Rory then she just reacted and jokingly said "Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that I am the youngest in this group. I'm 13, Bea's 13, Hope's 14, Nicca is 13, while Joshua's 19." Rory said while pointing everyone tht she mentioned. "I know, I know... she may be is the youngest and and I may be the eldest... and I know it kinda sound weird that I am following her orders but she's been assigned in our school as our leader in our group. The members are Rory, Bea, Nicca, Hope, Arianne and me. And we need to respect that. Even though if our school's dead already but our loyalty to her never dies." Joshua said then everyone in the room gave him a round of applause like everyone was joking. "Alright, come on." Arianne said while heading out of the cell block.

As we're walking in this so called prison yard I saw Rory walking towards a pigpen with a boy standing there and he looks like that he is waiting for her and the boy looked at me like he is mad while Rory is trying to calm him down.

"Okay, so your job in this group is to guard those towers and opening the gates." Bea said and she looks like that she has this position for being Rory's right hand. "Okay" I nodded. I have been wondering for why that boy's mad at me and the two of them look familiar to me.

"I gotta go guard the tower with Beth." Joshua said while he is heading towards a blond girl and I'm thinking that its Beth and the two of them looks cute together because of Joshua's hair and looks and structure and also because of Beth's cuteness, kindness, and she has this innocent face of hers.

"Okay, you will guard the second tower every night with Patrick and Hope, while at morning you'll attend story time with the kids." Arianne said and I got surprised 'cause she's really bright and whiter than a white American. Then I saw Rory and this boy walking towards me and he's calm already and he said while laughing "Hi... I hope you still remember the two of us back in kindergarten... so just in case if you don't... She's Rory Hudson and I'm Carl Grimes." Carl said while Rory have this look on her face like she's laughing at Carl or something. "You used to bully us back then but I forgive you already" Carl said "I remember that you were the youngest in our class and smartest 'cause you're advanced and I'm guessing that you're 12?" Rory said and I said "Okay, the two of you are right and I'm so sorry for bullying the two of you." I said in guilt. "Its fine" Carl and Rory said while walking away from Bea, Nicca, Hope, Arianne, and I.
