I wake up when the car comes to a quick stop. I have my backpack ready, just in case I need to make a quick exit.
Rick looks at me, and says " we're here."
I look out the fairly clean window and see a gate. It takes a moment, but the gate is opened by a man with a mullet, in a t-shirt and shorts.
When he sees me looking out the window, he looks at Rick questionably. " She's with us." Rick says, glancing at the man and nodding. "It's ok."
Rick continues to drive through the 'community' and I see a wall that says ' " " In Our Memory", with many names written underneath. Most names are in black, but a name is crossed out: Glenn. I also see people, like a fairly good amount of people ( and monster corpses).The people are pointing , talking,whispering,and giving Rick questioning looks.
Besides all this,I see two girls, one looks 13 like me, and one looks a little bit younger. The older girl has red hair and is wearing jeans, a red hoodie and a pair of old, torn tennis shoes. The younger one has dark black hair like the night and has on a dark, dark blue hoodie, dark blue jeans and like, I'm assuming her older sister, old, torn tennis shoes.I smile at the girls, and the red head smiles and waves. The little girl with the dark hair just stares at me, just, frozen like a statue.
As we drive away, I wonder if we could be friends, if I could be close to people once again. I just wonder.
We drive for a bit more ,then Rick parks the car and goes into a house. Daryl looks at me and grunts " stay HERE", and gets out of the passenger seat, slamming the door behind him.
"Ok." I say, feeling a little anxious. I know I should listen, my life depends on it.
I stare out the window for a few more minutes, then look at one of the side mirrors. 'No wonder they were staring at me!' I thought, looking at the mirror again, 'I'm a mess!'
My hair was a frizz of brown and my clothes were covered in blood, dirt, and.... I don't even know. I take a hair tie off my wrist and put my hair into a ponytail. 'It's not perfect, but at least I look better than a girl who's been living in a shack.' I think, smiling at my reflection.
A little bit later, Daryl and Rick return. I'm a little bit startled when he says: " alright, we're going to get you checked out by a doctor, to make sure your not sick or infected. If you're ok, you're welcome to stay in a house. Understand?"
"Yes." I say, getting out of the car and grabbing my backpack.
Then, we walk into the house.
