It's freezing out here, I thought as I walked through the woods. I was trying to find something to hunt. Not only was I freezing, but I was starving. Even a small squirrel would be good enough for me. Interrupting my thoughts, I heard something. Leaves cracking. I stopped, knelt down quickly but quietly, and aimed my gun in the direction of the movement. Finally, food, I thought. I was wrong. A boy about my age walked out from behind the trees. He was short and slim, and he was wearing a cowboy hat, kind of like a sheriff's hat. I wasn't going to shoot, but I didn't lower my gun either. "Hold it. Don't move." I said, chewing on a piece of grass. "Woah", He said, throwing his hands up in surrender. "Don't shoot, I won't hurt you if you don't hurt me." He said. "Who are you? Are you alone?" I asked curiously. "My name is Carl, I have a group, I camp. There's a lot of us there. Who are you?" Carl asked. "My name is Andrea, I've been alone since this all started. It's just me, and the trees." I said, being completely honest. "I'm not supposed to bring anyone back without my dad, but I'm sure he could talk to you." He said. We walked together back to the camp. It was an old prison. There were many people in their group. Eventually we found Carl's dad. "Dad, this is Andrea. I found her in the woods. She has been alone since it all started. She's obviously freezing and she's hungry. She's a good shooter too. I mean, I didn't see her shoot but she could have shot me if she really wanted to." Carl rambled on and on until his dad stopped him. "Andrea, my name is Rick. How many walkers have you killed?" Rick asked. "I don't know, a lot." I replied. "How many people have you killed?" He asked. "Three." I replied, looking down at my feet. "Why?" He asked again. "The, the walkers got them, I had to before they turned." I replied, fighting back tears. "Okay." He said. "You can stay here, just because it's obvious that Carl likes you and that you're too young to be on your own. Here we are like a family, you help out around here and we take care of one another. That's how we are. We help one another. You interfere with that, you're out." Rick said with a smile. "Carl take her to Carol and tell her to get her something to eat and some more clothes." He smiled again. "Thank you." I said, hugging Rick and than Carl without even meaning too. It's been such a long time since I have felt welcome somewhere. Months went by, and I was loving it here. I had a great time on the runs, spending time with my new "family" and taking long walks around the prison with Carl were amazing. I loved it here. After the few months went by, Carl and I opened up to on another. More than I expected. One night, we were sitting in the field, watching the stars and taking about everything that's happened in our lives when all of a sudden, he kissed me. I was shocked, but I didn't stop him. "I really like you, Andrea." He said. I was at loss for words so I just grabbed his hand and smiled. "I like you too, Carl." After a few moments of silence, we made it official. We were a couple. A zombie fighting couple. ❤️
