You woke up to the beautiful sounds of birds chirping. It was peaceful, like it always had been. For a split second there, just one second, you forgot what the world has turned into

Complete destruction and chaos. Creatures were eating all living things. People's screams and blood from every corner.

You then realized, you are a survivor

Not for long, but you still were. Determination flew all through you, you weren't going to be another soul that'll be eaten by those creatures. You also weren't going to die wether people liked it or not.

You are a survivor. You will be a survivor. And you will always be a survivor.

You had a purpose to live for. You wanted to keep living and surviving for Negan. You wanted to keep living and surviving so one day when you beat this world, you will tell your kids and grandkids all about it. You wanted your kids and soon your grandkids to be as strong as you are. That no one, absolutely no one can stop them from achieving their goal.

And from that, you got out of your little 'bed' and started searching the market for a backpack.

You went to the same door you went to the night before where you got your bedding set and opened it as a small creaking sound erupted from it.

You turned on the light as the electricity still hadn't run out yet and started searching inside the small room for anything useful

You saw a small brown closet and went to it, crouched, held the knob and opened it.

There was makeup, hair straighter and curler, and some few other junk.

You dug your way through the closet until you found a perfectly fine backpack that was actually surprisingly big

You smiled slightly and took the bag making your way out of the room closing the lights and door behind you

You went to your 'bed' and took your knives And put them in their previous places and your gun and machete in your gun holster.

You went to one of the aisles that said 'electronics' and started searching for something that'll help.

You found a walkie-talkie that costed 48$.

Of course you weren't going to pay for it because of obvious reasons so you took it and opened it from it's wrapper

You started fiddling with it not knowing how to use it until you pressed a button that erupted a sound. Whenever you pressed the button again, it changed channels

You raised your eyebrows as you found another button on the opposite side that was slightly bigger.

When you pressed it, the sounds that were just playing shut down. You raised your finger from the button as the sounds came back again

You smiled already learning the small tips on how to survive

"Well, that wasn't so hard.." you mumbled quietly

You put your walkie-talkie in your gun holster as you took one other walkie-talkie and put it in your bag

You started searching for food that didn't need to be cooked like chicken and bacon.

You went to the snacks aisle as you found hundreds upon hundreds of snacks waiting to be eaten

"My day's just getting better" you talked to yourself quietly

You went and grabbed your favorite snack, pop tarts. There were different kinds of flavors. Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla and nuts

You grabbed all the strawberry and vanilla pop tarts and shoved them into your bag as your eyes landed on chips

You went to the chips and started searching for good ones

You found Doritos, cheese and spicy. You took a couple of them and put them into your bag as you took other unknown kinds of chips.

When you finished from the chips, you went to the canned aisle as you started putting some corn, green beans and nuts into your backpack.

Your bag was halfway filled with food as you realized your hadn't taken any water

You rushed to the fridge, opened it and started shoving some water into your bag.

When the bag was filled with food and water, you took a deep breath preparing yourself to go out into the world.

You looked at the cheap old clock that was hung above the exit door as it read 8:37

You sat down and decided you'd make a plan for your next destination until 9 A.M.

You realized, you don't have a name for those creatures.

Your brain started working hard on a name that would be easy to remember

Walkers

Your eyes widened

Walkers!

You finally found a name.

As you were planning your destination for the day, your walkie-talkie turned on

Fear, yet hope started rushing through you

"Hello, is anybody out there?"

A voice of a man spoke

You took your walkie-talkie as your hands started shaking

"Hello, is anybody out there?"

The man repeated his sentence again

"Yes, yes someone's out there"

That, that took all your courage to say it.

"Thank god.." you heard him whisper

"W-Who are you?"

"I'm Rick, Rick Grimes"

You took a deep breath trying to process what was happening

"I'm.. I'm Lucy"

"Alright Lucy, where are you?"

"Outside of the city"

You weren't planning on telling this 'Rick' where you were exactly until you get to know him a little bit better

"Atlanta?"

"Yes"

"Alright, listen to me. I'm in Atlanta. You think you can come here?"

"I-I don't know"

"Hey, listen, I lost my family. I don't know where they are and I'm sure you lost yours too. I just want to have company"

You sat there for a while thinking if you should go back to Atlanta or not

"Alright. Where are you?"

"I'm inside the police station. Think you can get here?"

"Yeah, yeah sure. Just.. just stay on this channel. If I get close to Atlanta, I'll call Alright?"

"Alright. You on your own?"

"Yeah.."

"Please.. be careful"

"So will you"

You put the walkie-talkie back into the holster and opened the door.

This is going to be a long journey
