When the two of us got back to everyone else, they were surrounding two people. Upon seeing this, Rick runs forward and shoves his way through the crowd.

"Are you hurt? Bit?"

"Do you really think I would come back if I got bit, Rick? Same goes for Cameron. You know that." So that must be Elena and the other girl is Cameron.

"You don't think I know that?! It was just a precaution." Says Rick, getting up in Elena's face. After losing his wife, I'm not sure that he is stable enough to lead this group. Maybe someone like Glenn, or  Daryl.

Daryl pulls Rick away, and motions for me to meet them. I smile and nod, trying to look brave. I walked towards Elena held out my hand.

"My name is Delilah. I'm new and I share a cell with you." I tell her.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Elena, and this is Cameron. Have you settled in yet?"

"Not really." I tell her honestly. "I've been pretty busy with meeting everyone." She smiles, and I notice just how pretty she is. Elena has dark brown hair that goes halfway down her back. Her dark eyes stand out against her pale skin, and she is a little bit taller than me.

"Come on, lets get you set up."

*************************************

"I have the bottom bunk." Elena says. I nod, only slightly disappointed.

"Ok, so I'll get the top." I confirmed. She nods.

"Okay, so grab your things, and we can see where we can fit it." She tells me. I hand her my backpack and crossbow. She raises a eyebrow.

"This is it?"

"Yeah, its lasted me for more than a year."

"Wow. You must not eat much." I flush at Elena's words.

"Not really..." She studies me for a minute before folding my clothes and putting them in a little drawer.

"The bottom drawer is yours."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Yeah. I'm going to go. If you need anything, I'm here."

"Thanks." I say, smiling. Its not genuine, though.

"I should go too, people to meet." I tell her before ducking out of the cell and off to find Cameron.
