New Plans & New Problems : Part 1

( Your POV )

Well gee that's a first. I felt myself smirk underneath my mask as I stared at everyone who seemed to be doing something of importance. Meanwhile I was just back to randomly walking around. This is the first time I have never been shot or aimed at and it felt nice. Only a few moments later though and I noticed Shane look up in his questionably curosity. Practically sensing my presense or the fact that I happened to look at him in that moment, and he met my eyes. He just stared with his eyes unblinking before he slowly turned away with a glare to continue with his miscellaneous task. Such a strange man. I went back to my previous thoughts as I headed towards them. I know I shouldn't get used to not being aimed at as a walker but damn is it refreshing. I laughed silently as I noticed two semi familiar heads continuously looking over at me. One of them I recognized as Glenn so I sent him a slight wave. Not even a second later I noticed a smile stretch across his face as he waved back, cute.

I was still far from their spots but not even half way across the land I slowly came to a stop. The small smile I had went away as I began to smell open flesh. It was faint but it smelled close? Unsure I began to sniff the air.

Ive always wondered if I look like a dog when I do this?

Maybe just a bit.

I closed my eyes and angled my nose up towards the sky for a better chance of tracing the smell,my brows furrowed as the scent began to fade away. What the hell? Wait.... it's the breeze it's going the other way now..but that means-

I opened my eyes to search the area for any sign of a walker,but there was truly none. There was also no where for one to hide. Except for...my eyes slowly circled the farm seeing the different small barn structures, could there possibly be one hidden there?

I changed my direction and began to make my way to the structure. Out of the few my eyes focused in on a specific one. It was quite aways from my current position but it didnt take a trained eye to see that the front of the barn was locked. Why would the family have it locked...even if there were walkers in there why wouldnt they just kill them?

Maybe - "Hey Y/N!"

I turned around to see Glenn waving me over. He must have gotten confused ith my sudden change in focus. I sighed as I realized his yell had gotten Ricks attention and he suddenly pointed at me while speaking to Maggie and Hershel. He better not be telling them that I'll help them with something. I shuttered as I remembered the blonde woman trying to get me to do maiden work as well as forcing me to wear that frilly apron. There was nothing wrong with it but that was the last thing I wanted to be reminded of as all it made me think of was my deranged mother. I shook my head at the thought, I aint helping that household.

"I'll have to explore later then," I muttered to myself as I began to jog over to the group and with my hurried pace I made it across the field and to the group in no time. So close, I thought as I felt a hand suddenly grip onto mine pulling me back before I reached Glenns crouched form. Fuck what now!

I recognize this damn hand at this point, I sighed before turning my head to the side to see Shane avoiding eye contact. His hand didn't let go though, so I least I could give him that. He wasn't dumb enough to let go and have me run. "What do you want Shane?...this time."

His fingers seemed to twitch at my annoyed tone before tightening around my hand,"Where the hell were you huh?"

I let out a sarcastic laugh that caused him to turn and look at me,his eyes met my glaring ones,"See,that right there is none of your buisiness."
