Hey there! This is a TWD fanfic based on the concept of the kids being taken to become soldiers from the final season of the game, this is just a sample but I'd love to hear what you have to say!
It was night. The light of the small fire illuminating Eldon while he was. . . thinking. He was around 16, or at least he thought that he was, it's hard to say, time flies by when you're not keeping track of it at all, but he quickly learned that it doesn't matter what day or month or even year it is, it's all arbitrary anyways.
It was probably 2 or 3 years after the start of all of this, again hard to keep track of time. He was all alone. He quickly realized that cities and towns were dangerous, so he moved to the forests and rural areas. His family and the few friends he had were gone in the first month. He was more of a loner, which did help him being alone all this time. He did meet some people along his way, traded with some, ran away from others. Though he never stayed with one group for longer than a few days.
Although it was the middle of the night, he wasn't sleepy, just hungry, although that's most of the time for him.
He was buried in thoughts, though suddenly he heard something. . . definitely not a walker, an animal of some sorts. . . a horse? Unusual for them to be in forests, and awake in the night. . .
He quickly extinguished the small fire with his blanket and leaned out while still sitting with his back to the tree. A light of a torch. . . people. They were maybe a 100 meters away, 120. He took out his binoculars. There were 4 people in total around the horse which was towing something behind it. They all had guns, mostly rifles, high tier stuff. . . What the fuck? The horse was towing a cage with. . . people.
Whatever those people were up to, it couldn't be anything good, He quickly threw his empty rifle over his shoulder. Packed his blanket and cooking utensils into his backpack and moved out following the lights through the night.
