I've been running for what feels like forever. making myself stop, i immediately start engulfing air. They're burning. It's pitch black now and I have no idea where I am. I'll be honest, being alive is always scary. I pull out my knife and flashlight, protecting myself from oncoming danger that never stops.
I look left and right, trying to identify my surroundings. I point my flashlight at a sign that was near where Daryl parked his bike. I start again as i hear more walkers.
I turn my flashlight back on and there stands Daryl's motorcycle. Untouched. I turn around, and hear the moans and groans increase yet again. "Shit." I have no other choice but to keep on running and finding Daryl tomorrow morning.

I search for the nearest tree that seems easy to reach and tall enough to keep me from reach. Finally finding one, i rest my body but not my mind. The memories of being alone for years flood my mind. Then @ of the prison take over. This group im in, is different. They're not like the pigs I've met. They're different.

Chirp chirp
On another branch are a family of birds. The mom feeding her children, ensuring they live. Without her, they can't survive. If you lose anyone, you have to keep on living. No matter how much it hurtsNo matter how much you want to give up.You have to live for them. At least that's what I say.
Right away, i make my way down, killing the one walker that has been at my feet the entire night. After, i run back to Daryl's bike.
There lies the man i lost yesterday, playing with his knife. Blood covers his body. Blood that isn't his. He stands up, greeting me. "I came here last night looking for you but i didn't see you." He readjust his cross bow. "Im just glad yer okay. I tried trackin you." I give him a smile and place a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's get movin. Rick's probably going to waste supplies sending a search party for us." Right away, we hop on the bike, and go back home.

The gates open as we get through. People start running towards us and one of them is Rick. He doesn't hesitate to hug me. He goes for it even if im covered in sweat,mud and blood. I bring my arms around his torso and cherrish this moment. Then, i pass one to Aron.
"What happened to you guys last night?" Rick asks with his arm around my shoulder making me feel more safe than the prison. I can feel him plant a little kiss on the top of my head.
Carl runs up to me, giving me a hug. "We were goin for supplies. The town we went was swept clean from some body else." Daryl says. They talk a little more then he comes back to me, walking me to our cell block.
Once we get inside, he takes me to Hershel's medical center.
"Hello young lady." He has a genuine smile on his face."Im glad you're back. Sit down dear."
Rick, with his hand still around my waist, stays with me on the chair.
"Rick was about ready to go himself last night when curfew hit"
I smile, letting Rick get to me
"So how'd this happen?" Rick asks worried. He looks at me up and down, finally settling on my face. Hershel prepares everything in front of me as I explain Reese.
"Did he mention the governor?" At all?
"He mentioned this other group that he left." I sigh.
"You're scratched on your legs too." I look down not realizing i did. "Did you find somewhere safe to sleep last night?" Two fingers pull a piece of my hair back.
"I Slept in a tree if you call that safe." I laugh a little bit. "Turning into a squirrel lady i see." Hershel adds a little comedy. That's what i love about him. He can shine the darkest moments.
"Dear, im gonna need you to be brave for me. Im going to put some alcohol to disinfect the wound. " i stay stiff until Rick takes my hand, rubbing little circles on top. "It's okay." He whispers in my ear as the alcohol takes over my face.

I greated everyone then head outside like Rick told me to earlier. As soon as he takes notice, he then departs from Tyreese, walking towards me. "So what are the plans today officer?" I say with a big smile on my face. Instead of saying anything, he places his hands on the sides of my face and stares at me with his blue eyes.
Without hesitation, he slowly creeps towards my face and places his lips gently on mine. This kiss sends shivers down my spine. It feels as if my heart was shocked with a thousand bolts. I smile into the kiss and we stare at eachother after.
"I've been wanting to do that for a while now."
