We finally reach the camp that Merle and Daryl came from. I count the number of currently visible people. (A/N: I wasn't sure that this was the exact number of people, so don't get mad at me if it's not please. I knew I wasn't exact, so I added the "currently visible" part :3) Nineteen. Nineteen living, breathing survivors. The number is so unbelievable that my jaw literally drops. "Holy shit," Ellie whispers, suddenly right next to me. I jump and she laughs.
"You're an ass, you know that?" I whisper.
"Mhm," she replies. "Seriously though, unbelievable, right?" she asks. I nod.
"We been takin' in stragglers," Daryl says, "'long as they don' seem like a threat." He looks us over, probably trying to decide whether or not we looked like good people. After a minute, he finally says, "Y'all seem purty harmless. If ya wanna, y'all can come meet errybody." He then walks away.
Ellie looks up at me with a "pretty-please-we-have-a-better-chance-with-them-than-on-our-own" expression on her face. "Alright," I sigh. Ellie grins. I roll my eyes and ruffle her hair just enough to mildly piss her off. I laugh when she glares at me with the classic "you-filthy-peasant-how-dare-you-touch-my-hair" expression. "C'mon, let's go," I say to Ellie and Ella, and we follow Daryl's path into the camp. I don't jump up at the chance to talk to people, considering that pre-apocalypse, I was that extremely awkward and antisocial kid who sat in the back of the classroom and had no friends. Ellie and Ella hang back as well.
I sigh and walk up to the friendliest looking person that I can see. "Uh...hi," I say quietly. Why must I be cursed to be so socially awkward? The girl's face lights up with a grin. "Hi! Oh my god, it's been so long since I've seen someone my age! I'm Amy, what's your name?!" she sounds extremely excited. "Kira," I say, a bit louder than before, with a smile. "Cool! You must be new, huh? C'mon, I'll introduce ya to everyone!" Amy doesn't even give me time to respond before she grabs my hand and practically drags me over to the rest of the group.

I know this wasn't accurately Amy, but I was pretty much "presenting" her as the teenager she never really got to be because of the stupid apocalypse.
