Living in Hell (Alicia Clark x OC)

Chp. 9 In The End

~Rin~
Rin open her eyes to be blinded by the white light. At first she thought she was in a hospital but she quickly realized that she wasn't. Reality hit her hard. Tears willed up in her eyes. She brought her right arm up to her face and wipe the tears that were flowing down her face.

After a minute or so...she sat up. She notice that there was a thin fabric blanket. She also notice that she was in different clothes and that there was an IV line in her left arm. She grabbed it and rip it out of her arm. It stung like a bitch but she put pressure on it to help it not sting so much.

She swung her legs over the bed but when she did, she felt immense pain in her stomach. She lifted her shirt up to see white bandage and a white wrap that was wrapped around her abdomen. She then remembered that her katana was in her abdomen but she fixed that with the gun powder.

They must've cleaned it or something...

She put her shirt down and lifted her head up to look around the room. It seemed like she was in an infirmary room or something. She saw a window that wasn't that far from her. She notice houses out there. She slowly got off of the bed and walked towards the window. She felt her bare feet hit the ground. Her first steps were shaking at first. But once she reached the window, she place her hand on the seal and steady herself. She looked out the window and got a better look at the place.

"Where am I?" She questioned underneath her breath.

"You're in Alexandria." A deep raspy voice said from behind her.

She turned around to see a man with a grey beard and black wavy slick back hair. He looked like he could've been a cop before the world went to hell. He stepped into the room with a black lady coming in from behind him and a man with a crossbow. She was on guard for anything they might do to her. She narrowed her eyes at them. The man in the middle raised his hands to show that he wasn't going to hurt her or anything.

"Hey relax, we're not going to hurt you. We just want to know why and how you found this place." He said.

She didn't say or do anything. The women stepped in front of the man. She smiled at her as she approached her.

"It's okay, what's your name?"

Rin felt exposed without her mask or her weapons. She felt vulnerable but the only to keep herself alive was to hope that this group wasn't crazy or dangerous. She closed her eyes and sighed before she reopened them and look at the women.

"Rin...Rin Pendragon."

The women smiled softly at her. "Hi Rin, I'm Michonne. The man behind me is Rick Grimes and the man next to him is Daryl. We're not going to hurt you. We just want answers. Is that okay?"

Rin looked at the new people that were in front of her. She formed many ways that she could take them down to get out. But they seemed like good people and that they also went through things that changed them.

Rin nods her head. "Ask away." She stood tall and straight, showing no signs of weakness.

"First of all you should sit down. Your injured." Rick says.

"I'll be fine. I've been through way worse than a wound like this."

This spiked interest in the three. They shared a silent conversation with their eyes before they look back at Rin.

"Okay. How did you find this place?" Daryl ask as he looked at her through his greasy hair with suspicion.

"I just wonder after I was washed ashore here." She answered.

"Where did you come from?" Daryl asks.

"Mexico but in the beginning I was in California."

"Why were you in Mexico?"
