(HI so it seems that chapters are in the wrong order so sorry about that dont know how that happened. Just go to the table of contents and find the right ones.)
Walking down by the stream I smile humming a tune as the softly flowing creek flows on. My boots being careful not to make any twigs snap. Today was mushroom day so I didn't want to get caught by a walker before I got my shrooms. I also gather other things but mostly mushrooms, they make good soup. I hear trucks and quickly hid behind a tree taking my hat off as to not give myself away. (Your outfit btw)

The trucks stop for a bathroom break I had to assume and I try to sneak away. As I step away I turn to see a large black berry bush. Holding in my excitement I walk over quietly and start plucking the ripe berries placing them into my hand made wicker basket. I find myself humming the tune once more forgetting that there could be people around. Putting my hat back on I walk quietly humming and find a shiny piece of metal in the grass. Quickly I pick it up and find it's a pocket knife. "Nice." I smile placing it into my skirt pocket.
"Well hello." A male voice says behind me. "Ah!" I panic and turn around punching the man in the nose. "Ah! Sorry!" I apologies seeing him holding his nose. The man had on a leather jacket, white T-shirt, red scarf, jeans and boots with his hair in a greaser type style. "I'm sorry you startled me." I keep apologizing and take out a handful of black berries from my basket. "Um a peace..." I trail off as the man looks up. "Offering..." His brown eyes look into mine, he also had a silver and black beard, he's actually pretty handsome.
"Heh thanks kid." The man says as I pour the black berries from my hand to his. He had a base ball bat in his other hand and I began to feel nervous. "Oh, this is Lucile. Don't worry she doesn't bite unless I tell her too." He jokes and I nervously chuckle. "I'm (y/n), again I'm sorry for hitting you like that." I apologize again as he eats some of the berries. "I'm Negan." "Well Negan it was a pleasure to meet you but I should really get going before it gets dark." I excuse myself starting to walk away. "We could give you a lift." He says walking with me. "That's very kind of you, but my house is up a trail and I wouldn't want you to waste your gas." I smile softly as I reach a pile off branches and clear them away revealing a mountain bike.
"Your boyfriend must be missing you." Negan starts as I straddle the bike. I laugh and he looks at me for a second. "I don't have a boyfriend, I live alone." I chuckle riding on the path. "See you around Negan!" I wave riding with my basket in my arm.

Riding up to my fence I smile at the walkers I have pierced on with hooks. "I'm home boys." I wave walking my bike through the gate. I like to keep my home like a wonder land, plants growing everywhere, wild ducks I feed, and a cow that wanders around that I occasionally get milk from. No one has lived here besides me for a few years now, it used to be my grandparents house. Bringing my black berries into the house I inhale the smell of dried lavender and chamomile filling my lungs. "Let's get to work."
Taking a record from my collection I start the player and begin baking myself what grandma would call sweet summer pizza.

After having my sweet diner I walk outside in the heat to my bathtub. This house was luckily built with a septic system and a well. With my robe hung up on a branch I strip down and sink into the warm water. "This is the life."
