Sophia's POV

The sun was high in the sky, the heat was killing me. Why the fuck did the dead start walking?

My name is Sophia Williams and I'm 26 years old. Back to when the world was normal I was a chef. When I wasn't working you could find me at home or at the park playing with my son Aaron and our dog Liam.

I'm a single mom, my son's father was a guy that I met at a bar when I was 21. We started a casual relationship without any feelings involved. When I told him I was pregnant was the last time I saw him. I had to raise my child alone, my mom died when I was 6 and my dad didn't have money to support a baby so I worked all the time to give my son everything he need.

Well, that was it untill a few weeks ago when the world changed. Now I'm driving through a desert highway just out of Atlanta. Aaron is sleeping in his car seat with Liam's head in his lap.

So far I didn't see any dead roaming in the highway but a few miles further I saw three figures walking, not dead but actually live walking people.

Daryl's POV

"What th' fuck is this sound?" I was startled by the sound of Merle's voice and I turned around to see what he was talking about. We saw a car reproaching us and stopping right next to us.

The driver wheeled the window down and we could see that it was a woman. A blonde woman, I could see that her eyes were bloodshot. I bet that she hasn't had a wink of sleep in days.

"Hi guys. Do you need any help?" Her voice was soft and tired. Maybe we could bring her to camp with us.

"Oh, hell yes sugartits. I could use use your help a'right! Why don't you come o'er here and help ol' Merle with something special?"

"Merle! Leave her alo..." I couldn't finish my sentence 'cause I was interrupt by the sound of a dog barking at me and Merle through the window of the backseat. Only when the dog calmed down I caught a glimpse of the little boy sitting in the backseat.

"Liam, hush! Sorry about that." The korean kid approached the car and stop staring at the dog.

"I haven´t seen a dog in months. I'm Glenn and those are Merle and Daryl Dixon. We have a camp set up a few miles up the hill if it's just the three of you. We have women and other kids. I bet your boy would like someone to play with. "

"Thanks Glenn. I'm Sophia, that's my son Aaron and Liam. Thanks for the offer. Do you have a car parked here somewhere?" The girl asked looking around the road. I just can't stop staring at her. What the fuck it's wrong with me?

"Yeah. Follow the blue pickup. The camp it's not far from here so it's gonna be a short ride" I saw the smile that the chink throw to the girl. Is he flirting? He can't flir...

"C'mon boy! We don't keep the lady waiting...special if it's a hot damn babe!" He laughed and we enter my pickup.
