Audrey Holly: Life at a Prison (TWD SydiaX fanfiction)

Episode 4: Pinned part 1

After I officially settled in, still not a total trustworthy member of the team, I let my mind absorb everything that had happened in the last few hours.

My name is Audrey Holly. I've been living in a tree house for almost a year, alone. A day ago, I went to a nearby town to see if I could move into one of the houses, then all of a sudden, I hear these screams and shots and I make my way to the main street and see these people. People! Who aren't part of the Governor's forces. By the stunt we pulled a little while ago, I'd say, they actually hate the Governor as much as I do.

My trial's over, and now, it's just down to bonding. This place seems great. I like it here already. It's safe. But, I just hope that, as I start to bond and get to know them, they'll do the same, and be able to accept me.

I hope they get that, I'm strong when I need to be, but really, it's just a cover sometimes to hide the sweet vulnerable insecure self I am. Especially when it comes to things that I truly care about. I can also be stubborn, but, that shouldn't be a problem since I can be a team player.

I've been introduced to everyone, and so far, the only person that truly peaks my interest, is that one guy, Daryl Dixon. I suck. All I can think about is how amazing he is. Maybe even complex. Did he save me because I saved his friend? Rick?

So far, my opinion on everyone is, basic and minimal. Maybe that's best. I could go on and on, but, right now, I won't be able to make a place for myself here unless I get out of this cell.

As I walked over to the group from the far side of cell block C, I was thankful, that despite the little mix-up with Rick and the other about my connection to the governor, however small, or big, they were still willing to trust me.

And I them.

[Opening Theme]

As days went by, I got to figure out who everyone was in a bit of depth. There were two families. Beth, Maggie, and Hershel. Then there was Rick, Carl and Judith. I didn't want to pry about the mothers. That was best left for, fate?

I helped care for the baby with Beth and we had a bit of a rant about what we miss the most about school.

With Glenn, he told me about two people who used to be in a group of theirs. Andrea and Dale. I helped with a car while he talked my ear off about them.

On the third night I was there, Carl asked if he could help me with the cook out I was planning. He's very mature for his age which sort of intimidated me and weirded me out at first but I got over it when we sprayed Maggie and Carol with soft drinks. Daryl and Rick were on guard so, they didn't get to enjoy the drink fight, but, something tells me they wouldn't be too much into it. Definitely not Rick.

Everyone appreciated the beer, except for Beth and Carl, and the 57 I had with me. Honestly, I was really lucky to have all these luxuries with me. And I felt even luckier to share it with these prison people. Well, possibly my people.

I can't say Michonne totally let up, but, at least she sat with us, right?

Carl took a piece of meat to his father and Carol brought some to Daryl.

While they were gone, I just put my plate beside me and leaned back. I looked up at the stars and laughed. "I can only ever see the big or little dipper. It's so annoying."

"I always loved the stars." Maggie said in happiness. She held Glenn's hand and they both looked up together. Soon, everyone around the fire lay down and just appreciated the night sky. I found, I was really happy here.
