Aurelia POV
Eyes were on me as we walked through the gates. People who were walking around stopped and stared at me. Watching as Rick led me in. Some people began whispering to one another, probably calling me a freak or something. Which I am, you just don't know how yet. Rick was soon stopped by a Asian man and a brunnete woman. They looked at me and then back at Rick. They exchanged a few words before turning to face me fully.
"This is Glenn and Maggie " Rick said, introducing them to me. I gave a small nod.
"I'm Lia" I told them, not wanting to tell them my real name. If Rick had a problem with saying it, then they will too. Most people can't say my name because it's hard to pronounce, but it never bothered me. They flashed me a kind smile before walking away.
"You'll stay in your own house if you want or you can stay in my house, especially if you're planning on not staying long" Rick told me, his eyes scanning the town. I shrugged, not really caring.
"Either one is fine with me" I told Rick. He gave a small nod before motioning for me to follow him. And I did. We walked in silence until we reach a house. We walked up the few stairs and went inside the house. When I walked inside, a boy and woman looked at me. They both looked confused at they looked over at Rick.
"Carl, Michonne, this is Lia, she'll be staying with us for a while" Rick told them. They gave a small nod, though you could tell they don't trust me. I still don't blame them. Rick led me to a room, where he said I'll stay in for the time being. Once he left I dropped to the floor. It's been a long day. And I know that I won't be staying here forever, so why am I doing this? I should just leave. Leave and never come back. I don't want to be here, Rick will soon change his mind about me. I know that for a fact. Once he learns the truth, if he learns the truth, he will throw me out. A knock on the door shook me away from my thoughts. I turned my head as the door opened. And in came a boy who held a little girl in his hands. The boy looked about 16, maybe 17. He wore a police hat, it probably had belonged to Rick and was passed down to him.
"You're Lia?" He questioned. I gave a small nod, watching his movement as he walked in.
"I'm Carl and this is Judith" he introduced himself and the little girl. I didn't say anything, I just looked at him. Trying to see what he is getting at.
"Why did my dad bring you here?" He asked, getting straight to the point. I chuckled and shrugged. Unsure why Rick brought me here.
"Cause you're dad is a good man and saw someone who was alone" I told Carl, who just gave a small chuckle.
" Yeah he's a good man " Carl agreed, Judith just giggling in his arms. Rick soon walked in ,seeing that we were all meeting each other..
"Ah I see you met our new member" Rick said, a smile on his face. Carl didn't stop looking at me, but he nodded at his dad.
"Uh yeah, she's pretty cool. She can stay right?" Carl asked, finally looking over at his dad. Rick gave a small chuckle and nodded.
"Of course she can stay, it's up to her though " Rick said. Carl nodded, looking down at his little sister.
"Well, I just came in here to see if Lia wanted to come meet everyone. And Deanna wants to talk to you as well Lia, she's like the boss of the place" Rick told us. We both nodded as we followed Rick out of the room. I'm not calling it my room because I'm not gonna be staying here long anyways. We walked down the stairs and we entered the living room. There was a bunch of people in the room, but not as many as I expected. Something tells me that these people in this room are the people that Rick have been with before coming to this place. I recognized the man that was with Rick whenever Rick first found or helped me. The man sat on the couch, looking like he didn't want to be here. Which I completely understand, because I don't want to be here either.
"Everyone, this is Lia" Rick told everyone, causing all eyes to go to me. I crossed my arms, not really caring for this shit. I noticed Maggie and Glenn, they were sitting by each other, looking at me like they recognize me from somewhere other than here. But my attention turned away from them as two people walked up to me. A red haired man and a Latino woman or Spanish woman. The red haired man was well built, and he had really pretty eyes. The woman was very pretty and she wore her hair in pigtails. She had a curvy body and wore really short shorts and a crop top.
"I'm Abraham, this is Rosita" The man said, pointing to the woman besides him. They must be a item. They look like it. I gave a small nod, though I really didn't care. They hesitated before walking back. Seeing that I wasn't really in the mood to get and know them. Another woman walked up to me, but she was different than the last. She was skinny but she wasn't fat either. She had short hair that goes a little past her chin. And she's lesbian, you can tell by the way she presents herself.
"I'm Tara" she said, holding her hand out for me to shake. I eyeballed it, and looked at her.
"You're suppose to shake it" she said, seeing that I wasn't gonna shake it.
"I'm not suppose to do anything" I shot back, flashing a kind smile her way. Her eyes widened in surprise and she moved her hand back. She then nodded and walked away. No one else walked up to me so Rick just pointed out and told me the names of everyone. Of course, I didn't really listen. I don't care for these people and I don't plan on staying here for much longer. I don't even know why Rick brought me here. I don't want to be here and he knows that. So he shouldn't have brought me here. Once Rick told me the names of everyone, he told me to follow him. Which I did. We walked in silence as we walked out the house and on the road. We passed a few houses and a made a few turns before stopping in front of another house.
"This is Deanna's house, she wants to speak to you" Rick told me. I nodded and walked up to the door of the house. I knocked on it, and waited for someone to answer. It took a few seconds to come and get the door. A man opened the door, he looked at me for a few seconds before letting me in.
"You must be Aurelia" he said to me.
"And you must be smart" I said, walking into the house. It was very nice inside, probably the nicest house I've ever seen.
"What makes you think I'm smart?" He asked me as he shut the door. I turned around and faces him.
"You actually said my name right, or do you prefer me to not call you anything?" I questioned him as I crossed my arms. The man chuckled as a older woman walked into the room.
"Ah you must be Aurelia, I see you met my son, Spencer" she said, and I assumed she is Deanna.
"Spencer is quite the charm" I said, giving a kind smile. Wow what an act. I fucking hate this. I just want to fucking leave. Deanna smiled and nodded. She then motioned for me to sit down in a chair. Spencer left the room as Deanna began recording this little session.
"Now, let's start, who are you ?"
