There you were, watching your mother and unborn sibling get eaten by a dead one. You tried to hide your eyes, but couldn't seem to look away. You found yourself getting out of the vehicle you'd been shoved into, unarmed.

You stepped out, tears streaming down your face. You walked over and pulled the rotting organism off of your last living relative(s). It started to walk towards you, pushing it away when it got too close. You had no weapons, and eventually you found yourself pinned to the side of a semi truck, the rotting body in front of you trying to claw at your face. You felt hopeless. Just as you were about to give up, everything stopped. The dead one's head went limp. You fainted.

When you awoke, you were in an unfamiliar room. You tried to stand but failed miserably. You fell unto the floor. You look up to see a bag of saline connected to a long clear cord, which was connected to your wrist by a needle and a piece of hospital tape.

You laid there for what felt like hours, just staring at the ceiling. Finally, a women with glasses and blonde hair pulled into a ponytail finds you. She looked down at you panicked.

"Glenn!" she screamed. About four seconds later, an Asian man came in and helped her lift you onto the bed. You felt a sharp sting in your thigh, then something begin to pool on the bed around your leg.

"A-am I peeing?" you asked, completely puzzled. The blonde girl looked at you with suspicion, then pulled your blanket back to reveal a pool of blood coming out of an open wound.

"Where the hell did that come from?" you asked, still puzzled

"You were getting attacked by a walker" the Asian man stepped forward

"A what?" you asked, continuing to be puzzled as shit

"A walker... Those dead things out there that wanna eat your face off?" he said

"Oh, that's what you call them?" you asked starting to get un-puzzled

"Yeah.. but anyways, you were getting attacked and my friend, Nicholas, shot the walker twice, but the first time he missed and it your leg. That's where the wound came from" he explained

"Okay, wait. Where the hell am I?" you asked

"This is Alexandria. I'm Glenn. This is Denise, the women who didn't let you bleed to death the other day" he said

"How long have I been out?" you asked

"A few days, maybe a week" he said shrugging

"Do you have a group?" Denise asked

"Not anymore" you said

"Why not?" Glenn asked

"They're dead" you said, staring at nothing in particular

"Can I ask how?" he asked

"Glenn-" said Denise

"No, it's okay. Before your... friend.. saved me, my mom and unborn sibling got eaten alive by one of the- the uh.."

"Walkers?" he asked

"Yeah, one of those." you said. They both looked at you with a sorrowful look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" you asked

"Because I'm amazed at the fact that you aren't crying right now" Denise said

"How are you doing it?" Glenn asked

"I had a dream, and in it, I saw my mom. She had a baby girl in her hands, who I'm assuming was my little sister that hadn't been born yet. And my mom told me not to cry, ever again. She said that things are gonna be okay soon, just never to cry. So that's what I'm doing. Not crying." you spoke softly

"Wow." said Glenn "Hey, what's your name?" he asked

"y/n" you said "y/n l/n"

Right after you said that, you looked over to see a tall, skinny boy, with light hair and a beanie standing in the doorway, glaring at you with a flirtatious smile. You must admit, he was pretty hot.
