________________________________________________Lucy felt the aching pain piercing her head as she looked around the place she was in. Noticing she resided in what seemed to be a dirty unused car, surrounded by others in the same condition, she just sighed.
Could this be a freeway? Isn't it weird that only the side I'm on is full of cars, while the other is completely empty?
It made Lucy confused but nevertheless, she felt relief, good thing I'm not outside with the literal Walking Dead.
Curiously, she looked around the inside of the car until her eyes settled upon the rearview mirror.
It startled her to see a stranger's face in the mirror's reflection and she jumped back in surprise.
Is this me? She asked herself while sticking out her tongue. Soon after, realizing it was her new body.
Staring back at her was a stunning girl with milky white skin, rosy red cheeks, a heart-shaped face, maybe about four feet and ten inches at most, pitch-black straight hair reaching up to her shoulders, straight black eyebrows that slightly slanted downwards at the corners, big round ocean blue eyes, framed by thick long white lashes, a cute small button nose, and to finish it all off with her plump full lips.
Lucy was wearing a pair of black jeans, a white t-shirt, black fingerless leather gloves, a leather jacket, and black combat boots.
Her body looked like one of a gymnast and considering she's barely 13 and never once looked so fit. She was left in amazement.
Before this, she was more on the chubby side because of her love for junk food. So comparing this body to the old one, this one looks more athletic.
Once she snapped out of her thoughts. Her gaze went down towards the black backpack at her feet.
I really want to know what's in here she stated. While opening it, as she picked it up and put it on her lap.
But immediately after she did, information about combat fighting, the contents Rae put inside her backpack, and some extra info. appeared in her mind.
-15 extra-large cans of food
-15 gallons of water
-15 of each of your favorite fruits watermelon, grapes, and oranges[all cut up for
you<3 plus some Tajin]
-Toothpaste and a toothbrush [it's important to brush your teeth every day]
-dry shampoo and a hairbrush
-2 black pistols with a silencer, each with a gun holster
-2 ammo boxes
-5 throwing knives
-1 large knife with a black tactical belt and a combat knife sheath on the side
-A black scabbard and black katana[I made them your favorite color~]
Ps. I wanted to apologize so I kinda did what you wanted and didn't put in as much stuff as I intended too. But if you ever need more supplies or your craving something just pray and tell me what you want. I'll put it in your backpack. Oh, and after you equip your weapons, make sure to get out of the car when you hear a loud alarm, and get on the other side of the freeway. Then start running away from the city, don't kill the walker that'll chase you. It's part of my plan. Now have fun out there.
Lucy's headache went away soon after the information was finished processing in her mind, trying to meet everyone as fast as she can. She eagerly shoved her hand in the backpack, thinking of the katana, large knife, belt, and the pistols with their scabbard/holsters.
Now that the desired objects wherein her hands. Lucy strapped on the gun holsters on the side of each leg, placing each pistol in their rightful place. Buckled on her belt and placed her knife into the sheath. Lastly, she strapped her scabbard to her back while the katana was in it.
Finally! All done. She thought, looking out the window. Until not even thirty seconds later she heard the alarm and opened up the car door.
Her backpack was placed in front of her chest making it easier for her to carry. The backpack was rather flat so it wouldn't hinder her even if she were to take out her katana.
With that said Lucy swiftly glanced around her surroundings, only when she saw no dangers did she sprint towards the barrier wall in the middle and in one swift side jump she got to the other side.
Looking at the road to the right she saw a red Dodge Challenger, blaring an alarm while driving away at full speed. She shouted at it knowing it was Glenn Rhee but obviously he couldn't hear her.
As she screamed out for him she caught the attention of a rotting walker that was kneeled down eating a pigeon to her left, it heard her and got up from it's kneeling position, starting to go towards her direction.
This walker was six feet seven inches tall in a police uniform, it towered over her small height.
She saw him from the corner of her eye, quickly turning around.
Why's he so huge? she thought. Scared for her life.
Then in that very moment time seemed to slow down and a story between her and this man, before he had turned into the walker in front of her, appeared in her mind. A short message from Thrae popping into her mind along with it. [This story will become your background life story that you'll tell the others. This way they'll sympathize with you more and you'll be a part of the group more quickly.]
She really wanted to kill it out of fear because of how it looked. However, Lucy remembered Rae's instructions and ran for about 3 min not looking back, just continuing to run for her life. But even though the undead giant behind Lucy was only walking, it took long strides and wasn't that far away from her.
What is this Michael Myers as a walker?
While she was trying to escape, she turned her head to look back in the direction of the sound coming from a vehicle.
It was a Ford E-350 but in Lucy's perspective, the vehicle was a cube-shaped white moving truck. She was excited to see it. That's where Rick is!
While she was distracted looking back at the vehicle stopping in the middle of the road. She tripped, quickly turning her body, while still on the floor.
To only see the Michael Myers of the undead getting a scary distance towards her. She screamed out of fear and frustration because Rae told her not to kill it.
"Agh! No, please!" she screamed. About to pull out her knife.
The walker was already in front of her face. About to take a chunk out of her. When suddenly to her relief a bullet went straight through the left side of his skull.
"Are you okay? little girl." said Rick freaking Grimes. Standing right in front of Lucy.
Morales, T-Dog, Andrea, and Jacqui were looking through the front window of the white moving truck. A worried and wary expression on their faces.
She couldn't stop fangirling in the inside. But on the outside, she seemed scared with teary eyes and a shocked expression.
"Ye..s I'm alright," Lucy replied with a shaky breath. She couldn't believe she was talking to this person, who she admired for so long.
with a concerned expression and a smile. He said, "Don't worry I'm a police officer. Are you on your own? If you are, you could come with us you'll be safer there. I promise."
Now if anybody else would be saying this to her, of course, Lucy wouldn't trust them. She knew the basics, after all, stranger danger.
But this was Rick were talking about. She basically knows him like the back of her hand. So she replied with a smile as well.
"No there's nobody else I'm all alone now. Will I really be safe? I'll go with you. I think I can trust a police officer. My papa was a police officer too." She said, going along with the backstory Rae provided for her.
Rick reached out his hand towards Lucy to help her up.
"If you don't mind could you tell me your name? Mines Rick. Rick Grimes. Nice to meet you." He said while helping her on her feet.
"My name's Lucielle Morningstar. I go by Lucy though. Thank you for saving me mister." she answered standing up with a wide grin on her face.
While they walked towards the white moving truck they made small conversations with each other.
"You know I have a son named Carl close to your age. Maybe once I find him you two could be friends." Rick had a distant sad look in his eyes when he thought of his family. But soon after, it was quickly masked by a smile and he asked Lucy a question.
"You know you have many weapons on you. Why didn't you defend yourself from it?" he said while pointing at the Michael Myers walker.
"I couldn't do it. He was my family before this all began." She looked down while saying that. Not out of sadness, because she didn't know that walker. But out of shame, since she was lying.
Rick was about to say something to comfort her and apologize for asking. But they were already at the back of the truck and he pulled the door up for Lucy to get in. Morales, T-Dog, Andrea, and Jacqui all stared at her with curiosity in their eyes no longer wary of her.
"This is Lucy. Were taking her with us. She's all alone and just a child. We can't leave her here." Rick said leaving no place for objection. While helping Lucy up on the truck.
Not like anyone was going to object. After all, she was only a child in their eyes. With her small stature and cute face, they would never believe she was thirteen. They were thinking along the lines of 'How could this small child be carrying weapons and be left all alone?' Her innocence is being corrupted by this new world.
After that introduction, Rick closed the back sliding door and resumed the drive to the camp Morales was directing him to.
