She stood on a roof in the city, watching as a sheriff and an asian ran through the alley below, climbing up to the building across from her, she felt her brows furrow in confusion but ducked down so they wouldn't see her. She had seen the asian before, but he had brought people with him this time, he had left his group to save the dumbass sheriff who got himself stuck in a tank surrounded by the dead ones, getting his horse eaten in the processes.

She had been surviving alone in the city, since the beginning but had seen glimpses of people, most of them died but that asian always lived, maybe it was because before, he had been alone. Being alone during all this had its perks, the little food you found you didn't have to split, you only had to worry about protecting yourself, but it got lonely sometime, something that she was used to. She found herself watching them, as the asian finally lead the sheriff into a building, where his group was.

She sighed and pulled her mask back onto her face, she began running across the roof, and then jumping over onto another one, she continued to do that until she was on one beside the one the asian's group was one, there was only one man on the roof, holding a rifle looking irritated and impatient, he looked familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it. Choosing to ignore the feeling as the man began shooting the rifle, killing the dead ones from below, this man was an idiot, he was going to draw in too many and then they'd all be stuck, the roof she was on was higher than the one below, but father then she had ever jumped, growling in frustration she took a few steps back and then clutched her back pack straps tightly, taking a deep breath she ran, and took a large leap.

She crashed onto the other building, tucking her body in on its and rolling with the fall, she leaped to her feet, pointing her hand gun at the man as he spun around pointing the rifle at her.

" Are you an idiot! " She snapped, her voice slightly muffled by the mask she wore.

" Merle!"

" Dixon! What the fuck-"

" -get us killed! "

She spun around to point her gun at the group that had arrived and they all tensed, stopping their movements and a blonde reached for her gun-

" Don't think about it bitch! Your entire group is full of dipshits. You shooting that gun down there, and then you with that rifle, you've drawn the entire city to your doorsteps, congrats you assholes. " She snapped.

" You're just a kid. " the sheriff said in shock, he could probably tell by her voice, or her body shape but who knew, he was a cop so he probably read people well.

" And look, this kid is smarter than all of you. " she said, her gaze flickered to the side, to stare at the man with the rifle who was now chuckling under his breath as he stared at her.

" What the fuck you wearing that shit for? It's awful hot out here, don't you know halloween ended months ago? " he asked and she fought the urge to stick her tongue out at him, not that he'd see it.

" I should have just walked the fuck away, but no I took pity on you assholes, if you keep acting reckless you're going to get yourselves killed, how you all survived this long is anyone's guess, but why don't you get lost. " She said, firmly leaving no room for argument.

Merle Pov.

He smirked in amusement, feeling hazy from the drugs he'd taken before coming here and on the roof only moments ago, as he watched the little girl in front of him. He had to admit, he was impressed. She was right, she was much smarter then all of them, not that he would ever say that aloud, he couldn't believe the damn bitch had jumped from the building beside them. It was higher than the one they stood on and it must have hurt like a bitch when she fell. She seemed used to it, when he had turned around he noticed she had simply rolled with the movement like she really knew what she was doing.

What she wore made him curious, it wasn't your normal bratty outfit, looked more like clothes you'd wear if you were from an army family, and if you weren't some teenage girl. He scoffed when he saw her nails were painted but smirked impressed when he saw how they were filed down, so they were sharp, the girl knew she would need to not only defend herself from the geeks but from humans out there as well. He didn't understand the mask though, and why she had that coat on, though it wasn't zipped he could tell she was hot, damn he was burning and he was in a damn vest as well as a sleeveless shirt. She also had a beanie on her head and he knew she was sweating up a river under it, he didn't know how she could stand to be covered in so many layers. But he hadn't realized she was a girl until she spoke, only seeing the mask, and the gun pointed at him. Maybe that was her point, to make sure all the people saw were the things she wanted people to see.
