Alexy was walking since the dawn, her boots full of mud, her feet was hurting her really bad, her stomach was empty since a few days and the cold made her shiver as well as her teeth were chattering, the young woman was trying to warm herself by rubbing her hands, sadly in vain. She was on the roads, alone, since a few weeks, maybe even a few months, her former group had been annihilated when they found themselves against an herd of walkers, Alexy was the only survivor, she had managed to stay alive but sadly by sacrificing the lives of the other survivors and for that, she will always blame herself.
Alexy continued to walk in the cold, the young woman looked on the horizon and saw walls that protected a city, at first she believed that her imagination was playing tricks on her but the closer she got to the wall the more she realized that it was real. Once she was in front of the gate, Alexy was hesitant before knocking at the gate, she didn't know what to expect from the other side, she didn't even know if she made the right choice but out of strength she finally knocked against the gate and waited until someone finally come. She saw a man who should have about forty years old, curly and graying hair approached her, Alexy kept a neutral expression but this man didn't inspire her confidence. The man stopped in front of the gate, with a closed face, he stared at the young woman from top to bottom before finally speaking.
" Who are you? What do you want? " asked the man with a fairly serious voice. " I'm Alexy. I don't want to harm anyone, I'm just looking for a place to survive and maybe find a group.. " " How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed? Why? " asked the gray-haired man. " I no longer count the number of walkers that I killed for a long time, for humans, I only killed those who had been bitten and were going to turn into these things" replied the young woman, confused by the questions. " I'm Rick. " said the man named Rick while opening the gate while remaining suspicious.
Alexy walked into the city a little anxious, she didn't not leave Rick with her eyes not really knowing what was going to happen to her afterwards. The man named Rick then asked the young woman to follow him, which she did without saying a word, they walked for several minutes in silence, some people looked at Alexy as if she was an enemy, she paid no attention and continued to follow Rick until he finally stopped walking in front of a house that seemed to be inhabited.
" you can stay here, the house belongs to Rosita, she is a trustworthy person and she will show you where you can sleep. For the rest you'll see later " said Rick.
Alexy just shook her head and thanked Rick for giving her a chance and let her stay here, then he left to go back to what he was doing, while the young woman knocked at the door of the house, a woman who was about twenty years old with beautiful brown hair opened the door, Alexy was in admiration in front of the woman whom she found truly beautiful.
" who are you? " asked Rosita " I'm Alexy, Rick told me I could stay here.. " " I'm Rosita, if Rick told you that, then follow me "
Rosita let Alexy in and closed the door before passing by the young woman, she first show her house to Alexy before showing her the room where she was going to sleep from today. Alexy thanked Rosita for showing her home, then she puts her things in her new room, and Rosita left the young woman alone.
Later in the day.
It had been several hours since Alexy was in her new room, the young woman had fallen asleep from exhaustion, she didn't have such a comfortable and safe place since a really long time, so without even realizing she had fallen asleep still fully clothed.
Alexy went downstairs when she was finally awake, Rosita was in the living room cleaning her gun, Alexy didn't dare to disturb Rosita, she watched the young woman do without a word for several minutes as she was going upstairs to go back to her new room but unwittingly she made a noise which alerted the attention of Rosita who proposed to Alexy to stay with her in the living room what she accepted a little timidly.
" where are you from? " asked Rosita while continuing to clean her weapon " Cincinnati, in Ohio. " simply replied while watching Rosita cleaning her gun " I'm from Dallas, you're not very talkative, am I wrong?" " I'm not really good for talking with people.. " said Alexy " I see, you don't really seem to like that I ask you some random questionsas well " said Rosita while placing her weapon on the table " Indeed, I won't disturb you any longer " replied Alexy before leaving Rosita alone and to return to her new bedroom
