Searching, scavenging, providing and helping, thats what the wonderers are all about. We look for people, people to help, to become allies with. Now you are probably wondering who I am, Im Kelly, just Kelly. I'm the leader's right hand man, the second in command. 

Patrick our leader, he's a fairly good guy, he has his moments but overall he's kept us safe, well feed, and well armed. He never leaves our safe zone though, which is where we all call home. Its a small neighborhood right next a factory we work out of. It's nice, safe, and overall its what I call home. 

The boys I scavenge with are all my good friends, its kind of hard not to become friends with the people you are scavenging with, they've saved my life countless times, and I've done the same for them. But they aren't family to me, just friends, family is just a word I long to be apart of. 

Since the outbreak everyone has lost almost everything, as you can guess I have absolutely no one left, no family to be apart of, no one to love, and no one that truly loves me. Yes I'm "friends" with everyone at our safe zone, friends with my boys, but no family, I'm not close to anyone enough that would make us family, and thats what I long for every damn day. 

But I am a very likable person, my personality is very chatty, caring, bubbly, and of course bad ass, you don't live this long in a zombie apocalypse with out knowing a thing or two about kicking ass. 

But enough about the past, lets get right into it, Im currently watching a community we've been scouting for weeks, and todays the day me and a couple of my men will try and talk to them, to try and get them to become an allie of ours, we provide for them, and they provide for us. 

"Here goes nothing" I say as I make my way to the gate alone, the men stood in the shadows for protection if need be. But Patrick says its best for them to see a kind, gentle, smiling face of a women then men with guns. 

As I make my way up to the gates the guard on duty at the gate yells "Stop right there, Rick get over here", I put my hands up and try to look as innocent as possible, and thats when I'm met with the leader whose now name I know is Rick, who stands among a Korean man, guy with a cross bow, a one eyed kid, man with a mullet, red headed cigar smoking solider, and a hell of a lot more people of all different age groups and races and it made me smile. All these people, they looked like a family, and before they even spoke a word to me, I knew these people were good. 

Ricks voice took me out of my thoughts "what do you want ?"  he asked with a harsh tone.  With my hands up I said " I'm with a community as well, we call ourselves the wonderers, and we've hand our eyes on you" i kept talking as I walked closer to them still with my hands in the air. "We are good people I assure you" I proclaimed, Rick looked at me and with a stern look harshly said "you know how many times we've heard that?". I slowly put my arms down and say " I know its hard to believe but all we want is to become allies with you, thats what we do, we help and provide for others, in return you do the same." Rick looks at me like he was almost considering it "what exactly could you provide for us?" I lightly smile, "food, medicine, water, clothing, weapons" Rick doesn't respond, so I continue, "I'm a trained medic, I'm good with a gun, so say you or someone in your group has a bad injury, you can call me over the walkie, ill come and offer my medic training the best I can, or say you guys get caught up outside your walls, whether its walkers, or people, we will come help you" Rick then looks at me like I'm crazy and says "you would do that for people you barely know? Now that just sounds like bull shit" I quickly say " No thats what being allies is all about Rick, you help each other out, please hear me out, you can come with me to our safe zone, I'll do anything to prove that we are good people"  

Rick looks at me straight in the eyes and says harshly "I'll pass"......I look at the now closed gate and close my eyes in frustration "well fuck"
