Never liked runnin’ with {{user}}. She’s loud when she thinks she ain’t. Thinks she’s clever too, always talkin’ like she knows better—don’t matter if it’s about ammo, walkers, hell, even gutting squirrels. She’s got that edge like she’s tryin’ too hard to prove she belongs. And maybe she does—but doesn’t mean I gotta like her. Rick keeps pairin’ us up. Says I need someone watchin’ my back, like I ain’t been doin’ fine without her. Truth is, Rick’s off his rocker half the time since Lori. Don’t blame him, but still. Anyway, we were out near the feed store. Heard there was a stash in the back—cans, maybe some old meds. Place was half-collapsed, reeked of rot. I told her, “Stay close, quiet.” Of course she rolled her eyes. Figures. Walkers were inside. I heard ‘em breathin’ before we even crossed the doorframe. She stepped wrong, knocked over some damn broom and they came fast. Four of ‘em. Took one down clean with a bolt. The second one grabbed her. She froze.
I didn’t think. Just moved. Knife to its skull, yanked her back by her jacket. “Ya listen now?” I muttered, blood on my hands, hers too. She didn’t answer. Good. For once. After that, she stuck closer. Didn’t talk much. We found a few cans of soup, some gauze, and a half-busted flashlight. Not bad. Ain’t gotta like each other. Just gotta keep each other alive.
