A/N: I know I haven't finished my Daryl/OC story but I'll be continuing both simultaneously.


JUNE

"3 questions" The man in front of me said. I nodded weakly.
"Rick, let's just take her" A woman with grey hair said.
"No, I have to do the standard procedure" He said.
"Just get it over with" Another man with a crossbow said in a southern accent.
"How many walkers have you killed?"
"What? Walkers?" I asked.
"He means corpses" The crossbow dude said.
"Uh, I lost count about three months ago" I replied as I stared up at all 4 of them.
The man asking me the questions had a rough beard. There was a woman next to him who had short grey hair, there was the man with the crossbow and then there was an Asian kid who looked to be about only 5-6 years older than me.
"How many people have you killed?" He asked.
"Uh…three" I replied.
"Why?"
"Two of them were trying to steal from me and the third…" I looked down at the ground and spoke up "She was bitten. It had to be done"
The guy stared at me for a long time before he extended his hand forward and said "I'm Rick. That's Carol, Daryl and Glenn. Come with us"
I sighed with relief.
I took his hand and got up from the tree I was leaning against.
"What's your name, sweetheart?" Carol asked me.
"June" I said and grabbed my weapons and bags.

They led me through the trees towards a prison. It was huge and there were dozens of corpses surrounding it.
"Come on" Rick said and I followed them. They cleared a path by killing all the corpses in their way. They didn't even bother killing the others.
I huddled close to the woman Carol. I was too weak to fight more corpses. Someone opened the big red gates and we hurried inside the prison. A dark-skinned woman and a kid greeted us.
"We found her just outside" Rick told them "Carl, can you show her the way to the cell blocks?" He asked the kid.
"Why me?" He said and stepped closer to Rick to say something. They argued over something but then the kid came up to me and said "Follow me"
He took the bags from my hands and walked with me through the huge field. How could they have cleared so many corpses? I wonder what kind of people they were. Carol seemed sweet but what if the others didn't like me? What if they sent me packing?
"What's your name?" He asked me snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Uh, June" I said.
"June?!" He cried "That's a stupid name"
"I know" I mumbled fiddling with my knives.
"I'm Carl" He said and shook my hand. I looked up at him.
He had dark hair and light blue eyes. He had plenty of dirt on his face but he looked way more civilized than me.
"Hey Carl" I said and tried to smile.
"Are you alone?" He asked me.
"Yeah. I don't have a group. I lost them a while back" I answered and stared down at my feet. I wasn't that good with people.
"How'd you survive alone out here?" He asked me, puzzled.
"I don't know. I ask myself that" I told him.
"You don't give straight answers, do you?" He asked me. He had a southern accent.
"No" I said and he chuckled. I glanced at him. I hadn't seen anybody laugh in such a long time. It had been almost a year since I had seen someone happy. My group was the worst at that, all somber and serious. After all those days out there alone, it felt nice seeing someone have fun. It felt nice seeing Carl laugh.
"Why are you staring at me?" He asked me. I realized and quickly looked away. I could feel the warm in my cheeks.
'It's just; I haven't seen people happy in a long time" I told him.
"Well that explains it" He said.
"What?" I said.
"Why you look so glum and boring" He said. I rolled my eyes at that and forced a smile.
"See? You look so much better like this!" He exclaimed and laughed again.


CARL

She was staring at me again. Like I was an alien or something. She must've been through a lot. Her cheeks were all red and she was trying to hide something, but what?
"You're blushing" I told her. This just made her even more embarrassed. Color filled her cheeks and she started looking down at the ground.
"Here we are" I said and motioned towards the cell block. She finally looked up and looked pretty shocked. There were dozens of people in here. She probably hadn't seen someone alive in a long time.
"Whoa" She mumbled.
"Yeah I know" I told her "It's amazing"
"It sure is" She said.
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up" I told her and led her till the woman's shower block. Plenty of people looked at her but nobody said anything. We were all now pretty immune to a new survivor coming in.
I dropped her off with Beth.
I walked back to find Dad and Michonne.
"Carl, everything all right with June?" Carol asked me.
"Yeah. Beth's getting her new clothes now" I told her.
"Dad!' I called out and ran up to him "What happened out there?"
"Nothing happened. We were coming back with supplies and saw the poor thing fighting off walkers. She killed about a dozen by herself. Seems pretty skilled. We could use her in our runs" Dad said.
"She just got here. At least give her some time" I said. He looked down at me and said "Sure, Carl"

I walked back to Lizzie and the others.
"So who's that new girl they brought in?" She asked me.
"Her name's June" I told them. She cracked up.
"What's so funny?' I asked her.
"Nothing" She said, smirked and ran away. I hated her so much.
Daryl came over to me with the crossbow on his shoulder and said "Your dad wanted me to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"Carl?" I heard. I turned around and saw June.
Except she didn't look like herself at all. All the dirt from her face was gone and she was in Beth's clothes.
She was wearing a tank top, shorts and boots. Her red hair was in a braid over her shoulder.
She looked really different and pretty.
"Carol wanted me to ask you if it was fine if I settled in your cell tonight." She asked me.
"Of course it's fine. You can stay with me" I told her.
"Thanks Carl" She said and smiled half-heartedly. She turned and walked back to the cell block.
I looked at Daryl and saw he was smiling.
"What?" I asked him.
"Cute girl, huh" He said.
"What is it you wanted to tell me?" I asked him, hoping he couldn't see how flustered I was at what he had just said.
"Well, Rick said you're going with them on the run" He told me.
"Really? That's awesome!" I cried.
"Yep, that's all. You should probably go to June, she looks pretty confused over there" He said, punched me in the shoulder playfully and went back to the Guard Tower.
I looked at where she was. Lizzie was talking her. Of course. What was her problem?
I quickly ran to them before she hurt June.
"Oh, look who's here to save the day' Lizzie said and rolled her eyes at me. June glanced at me.
"Leave her alone, Lizzie" I said and stepped in between them "Just let her be, okay?"
"Fine. Whatever" She said and crossed her arms. I turned to face June.
"Forget whatever she told you" I said to her.
"Yeah, she didn't say anything. Just asked me tons of questions" June said.


JUNE

"Oh okay. Good. You should steer clear of her. She sucks" He said and chuckled. He looked so adorable.
I said "And why do you care?"
"Because you're a friend. And it's my duty to protect you from dumb girls like her" He said. I grinned.
"You look great when you're not so serious" He told me and put his arm around my neck. I felt heat rise up to my cheeks but I didn't care, because after a long, long time I was smiling.
"Come on, let's give you a first-class tour of our home" He said walking with me. I laughed. He looked at me.
I was happy. Actually happy for the first time in this zombie apocalypse. I looked over at Carl.
He was so great even though I had just known him for five minutes. If it hadn't been for him, I probably wouldn't be having fun right now. I looked up at his bright blue eyes and smiled to myself.
Carl made me happy.
