"Look, right there" Carl said pointing to the large white house "It looks okay… actually all of them look okay but I bet that one has enough bedrooms for all of us"
"You're the boss" Rick chuckled, watching his son evaluate the houses
The group ambled towards the house and let out a shuddering bang on the door that seemed to echo around the whole house, waiting for walkers.
"Give it a few minutes, can't be too careful" Daryl said placing his hand on Carl's shoulder
"Well you folks look like you have been on the road for a long time" A voice spoke behind them that they didn't recognize
It was a tall girl with a German Shepard on a long leach with a small smile on her face, the smile faded a little when Daryl raised his cross bow. "No need for that" She smiled again "Come in if you want, I have quite a few supplies I can share around"
She walked towards them and through them as they grouped together at the front of her house, she walked past, keeping the dog on a smaller leach and into the house.
"What do we do… it seems too good to be true" Michonne said looking cautious
"I saw we go in and see what is her go… if worst come to worst we can kill her" Daryl said
"Alright… don't put your weapons down and be cautious, she might not be alone" Rick said pushing the door opened and walked in
"Hello?" Carl called out, earning sharp glances from the group
"Oh, I'm here" She said, head in the pantry with cans stacked around her
"What are you doing?" Carl asked walking closer despite the glares from the group
"Well if you guys weren't going to stay I could at least give you some food, god knows you look like you need it" She said with a sad smile on her face
"How many of you are here?" Rick asked
"Just me" She answered "Oh and Pearl if you count her but you know… she's just a dog"
"What's in there?" Daryl asked, bow still raised and pointed at a metal object that looked like where the fridge once was
"Fridge" She answered, standing and opening the door to reveal a hanging carcass of deer and heaps of rabbits
"Do you have power?" Carl asked holding his hand out, obviously feeling the cool that came with the fridge
"No" She shook her head and shut the fridge quickly "I just use water evaporation… I was just experimenting one day and somehow I made a fridge, I don't really even know how it works it just does"
"How long have you been here?" Maggie asked her looking around "You seem to be pretty well set up"
"My whole life… I grew up here" She answered with a small smile on her face "You know you guys are welcome to stay you know, it would be nice to have the company. It gets a little quiet around here with just me a Pearl"
"Can we?" Carl asked staring at Rick with longing
"I dunno" Rick said shaking his head "I mean no offence but we don't even know her"
"Fair enough" She shrugged "But my name is Grace by the way, Grace Turner"
"Carl Grimes" Carl nodded, you could see it in his eyes, in his whole being that he wanted to stay and he was happy, Grace looked about the same age of him.
"Well we are going to stay" Glenn said wrapping an arm around Maggie "We don't want to leave you guys but we are sick of walking and we don't want to pass up a good offer as this when it comes around"
"Well I am staying then" Beth said standing closer to her sister, giving Darrell a look
"Fine" Daryl sighed "But don't blame me if she is just using us for walker bait or something"
Michonne looked to Rick and didn't say anything, she would follow him depending on his decision.
"I suppose we could stay for a while" Rick sighed "If that is okay with you… Grace"
"No problem" She beamed "Let me give you the grand tour of the place. It's a four bed room, three bathroom place, uhh… there is a media room, kitchen obviously um yeah."
"You guys can see the bed rooms and have them, I don't use them much anymore…" She mumbled walking through a doorway and up a hallway, pointing to room "This was my room and I still use some of the stuff in but someone can have it, the rest of the rooms all have queen beds umm… Glenn is it?"
"Yeah, I am Glenn and this is Maggie, my wife"
"Oh cool" She smiled "Well then you can have my mum and dad's room, it has an ensuite and walk in wardrobe but I don't think their clothes would fit you guys, sorry"
"No sweat" Glen smiled and shrugged
"But" Grace mumbled looking at Maggie "I think my clothes will fit you"
"Oh you-" Maggie started
"Don't worry" Grace smiled wrinkled her nose "I'm happy to help out, and plus you aren't going near any of my furniture in those clothes… sorry. Now Glenn you probably fit in Andy's clothes but I will have to go on a run to get them."
