Chapter two
I sat in the car as Glenn got out of it and his people emerged out of their tents. I looked at all of them. There were a lot of them surprisingly. Glenn turned and opened the car door. I got out and looked at my feet brushing my hair behind my ear.
“Everyone, this is Nicole. Nicole, this is everyone.” Glenn said
I looked up at the blank faces and they looked irritated. I don’t think they liked that another person was here to take up space. After awhile they all disbanded and went back to what they were doing. I turned and faced Glenn.
“Lets go and introduce you to everyone,” he said taking my hand
I walked behind him as we headed towards a RV.
“Dale!” he hollered
An old man emerged off the top of the RV. Looking down at us. “Yeah?”
“This is Nicole. She’s new to the group,” he said
Dale climbed down the ladder of the RV and walked over to us. He looked at me and extended his hand. “I’m Dale as you might have guessed.”
I took it and shook it politely. “Nice to meet you.”
He smiled at me and went inside the RV. A few minutes later he walked out of the RV with a tent case. “Here, you’re gonna need this.”
“Thanks,” I said taking it gracefully
“Come on there’s more to meet,” Glenn said walking away
I waved to Dale and followed Glenn. We walked across the camp and past a few tents. There were 3 women. A brunette, a blonde, and a silver haired one.
“This Lori, Andrea, and Carol,” he told me.
I was confused on who was who but I smiled slightly anyways. They waved to me and said “Hello”, “Hi”, and a nod. A little girl ran up to who I presumed as Carol followed by a young boy.
“Carl, Sophia. This is Nicole,” Glenn told them
“Hi!” exclaimed Carl
Sophia stood in silence and got closer to Carol.
“Hello,” I said softly
“Carol, Sophia! Damnit stop socializing and get your asses over here.” A voice called
“Thats Ed,” Glenn whispered to me and I saw Carol and Sophia go without hesitation.
“Only a few more left to meet,” he told me
I walked behind Glenn again. This time I was surrounded by men. I shifted awkwardly on my feet but stood tall so I wasn’t downsized.
“Guys,” Glenn said
They looked. There was 4 of them.
The first man was rather tall and buff, His hair dark and rough. He stood tall and firmly looking me up and down. “Hello,” the man said “I’m Shane.” Shane extended his hand and I took it. He kept eyeing me and I looked down slightly.
The next man was odd looking. I couldn’t really explain it. “The fuck you lookin at?” he asked me
I gulped and looked at Glenn. “That’s Merle”
He pushed past me knocking me off my feet.
“Bitch,” he spat
I sprung up and glared at him. “Who the fuck you calling a bitch? Bitch.”
He spun around and eyed me. “Excuse me?”
“Merle get outta here. Go she ain’t worth it.” another man said
He spat at me and walked away. I turned and faced the man that chimed in.
He was tall too. Maybe around 5’ 8” or so. Then again, with me being 5 feet even, everyone seemed to be taller than me. His hair was scraggly and he stood there smoking a cigarette. His icy blue eyes stared at me.
“Daryl,” he said to me
I nodded and looked at the last man.
“T-Dog’s the name,” he told me
“Glenn,” Shane said
“Yeah?” he asked
“We need to go to the city. Ready to make a run with us?” he asked
I looked at all them and wasn’t sure what to do with myself.
“I’ll be back soon. I promise,” Glenn told me taking off with the guys
“Alone again,” I thought to myself
