Chapter 2: The look.

By the time we reached our destination it was morning. All the campers that followed Shane all arrived at a hill that's far away from the place as possible. It's a nice area we all decided to settle down though. Were basically on top of a hill that has a beautiful Quarry at the bottom of the hill, and the best part about it, is that were miles and miles away from Atlanta, it feels safe.

I mentally slap myself the moment I thought of the word safe.

Safe? I wonder how long until this place is really safe...

I let out a small sigh and kicked my door open jumping out of my jeep, and open the side door to help Jake out of the car, with molly in his hands. I bent down to Jake's height and pet the little beagle who is sleeping soundly and peacefully.

I look at Jake, and then at the kids Sophia and Carl. I look back at the boy and noticed that he wants to go talk to them, I couldn't help but to smile a bit to see that Jake felt like he was back at school all over again. Nervous as a bee.

"Why don't you go talk to him?" I asked tilting my head,

"I-I'm scared too...I feel like they won't like me!"

"Oh don't be a scary cat little brother, just go approach them like you normally would, and introduce yourself!"

"B-But Avril, were not in Canada , were in America!"

"Your point? Sure were in different countries doesn't mean America is mean. Come on Jake, it won't hurt to get to know them, just remember the number one rule, and you know what that is?"

Jake nodded his head, "Always be yourself" He spoke,

"Exactly, now go on you, go make some new friends ok?"

Jake nodded his head and walked towards them introducing himself, right away the kids welcomed him with wide open arms. The kids right away got along as if they were already friends. I'm happy for Jake. After this world went to hell, Jake at least needed some friends, or anything really to keep his mind distracted.

"Alright! Everyone gather around, all kids please go to where Carl and Sophia are and jus' stay there until were done, all of the adults place process where I am so we can discuss our plans for tis' camp."

Everyone nodded and did as they were told, all of the adults gathered around, while the kids stayed in their own little group not being involved with this whole 'Adult things'. I look at the the people around me, seeing who is among us.

"Two blondes who look like their siblings, A kind looking old man with a summer hat, Lori, Carol, the man who seems to look like he was Carol's husband...take note. Look out for him. Parents, a Korean who seems to be around my age. Gotta get to know him, and...oh god." I laid my eyes on the man from last night who was sitting in the truck with Baldy. I looked away from him before he saw me starring. God that would be so embarrassing.

"Alright folks', since we are going to be stickin' together for a while, we might as well introduced ourselves-" I zoned out, to be honest I could care less on what he says. I don't care if his a police police officer or not. Those rules don't apply anymore. I leaned against my Jeep that

I starred up at the sky into the sky, watching the beautiful clouds go by, the bright blue sky blends in well with the puffy white clouds. I saw a couple of birds flew by hearing the birds chirp so brightly and carelessly. Flapping their wings to fly into the air, showing off their freedom. I looked down to the ground, having my smile disappear.

Lucky bastards.

"Ummm, miss?" I heard Shane call out my name, snapping me right back into reality. I turn to stare at him, soon to see that everyone have already done their introductions. Leading me to be the only one who haven't introduced. I blushed slightly, but not bright enough for people to see. "Your' name?"

I placed my hair behind my ear, looking down at the ground arms crossed, god this is so embarrassing, "M-My name is Avril, Avril Tendenilla. I wasn't born here like you folks' nor live in this country at all. I live in Ontario, Canada."

The oldest blonde raised her eyebrow, I believe her name is Andrea, "Why so far away from home?"

"My family and I always come to Atlanta once a year to our family summer home. I wasn't expecting this whole...events to occur." I lifted my head up, to only see the group with shock eyes.

The kind looking old man, who's name is Dale, look at me with sad eyes, "Where is the rest of your family dear?"

I flinched a bit, I chewed the bottom of my lip looked down at the ground again, I let out a sigh, looking at the group with emotionless eyes. The memory of my family...it left me broken, and emotionless. The memories of all of us smiling, have been soon ripped away from me just like that. Remembering the good times, only now ending the memories with the horror. I starred at Dale. Smiling sadly,

"Their dead."

"o-oh..." Dale spoke, suddenly looking down, he walked towards me and have me a comforting hug in front of everyone which caught me a little of guard. A little, I looked at him, blinking a few times to realize what was happening.

The kind looking old man, is giving me a hug.

"I'm so sorry to hear that Avril...I'm so sorry for asking,"

I shook my head a bit, patting Dale's back and pull away from his hug.

"I-It's fine, really, there's no need to be sad about it. I'm fine."

Dale nodded his head, and went back to his place in the circle of the group. Shane cleared his throat and went back to this..'meeting'.

"Alright, now that we have everyone introduced, lets get down to business. Those who have tents make sure you go set it up right after this, once were done setting up those who have weapons and knows how to use a gun well I want you all to follow me, I want to see what you can do. But for those who doesn't have a tent, Dale can let you sleep in his RV. But only if you don't have on."

Shane glanced at the group, and put his hands on his waist. "But sides that, it's highly recommended if your able to share a tent with at least one person that doesn't have one. That way the RV don't be to crowded. Also if you have any food or water make sure you all share it, we will all divide our foods equally, that way its fair for everyone."

I couldn't help but to smirk a little, I looked at Shane, someone reminding me of a communist. God I'm horrible.

"Once that's settled, for those who don't know how to shoot and wants to help, look around the foods for some firewood for the night. First on the list, settle in, second: those who knows how to shoot or fight follow me. Those who doesn't know how too nor just wants to help set up camp. Collect firewood, and sort out the food and drinks. Last, we should be all settled in my nightfall. Your all free to go."

Everyone nodded and did their parts. I walked towards my Jeep opening the trunk and soon started to take out the supplies.

As I took out the large tent, and the two cots I, felt like someone was behind me which caused me to turn around. I turn to see a handsome Korean boy who I saw was in the meeting earlier. If I remembered correctly, I think he was the one who was driving in front of me when we were traveling to the hill.

"Do you need any help?" He asked adjusting his hat, smiling at me.

I nodded my head a bit, turning back to my Jeep. "I-I guess. What I really need help with is just taking out the camping gear." I said quietly.

Glenn looked down beside me, and spotted the big tent and the two cots. "Wow, that tent looks pretty big!"

I nodded. "I-I guess,"

Glenn stood beside me and started to help take out the camping supplies. He took out my suitcase, (Which I ordered him too) with Jake and I's camping clothing and a big bag have have our toiletries in it, and a small fold-able table.

"Out of everyone in this camp, it seems like your the only one who seems to be fully packed and prepared! It looked like you knew this was going to happen!"

I shook my head a bit, closing my Jeep's Trunk. "Not really..I just made sure everything my little brother and I need to survive is here."

"But still, it seems like your a smart thinker."

"T-Thank you Glenn it means a lot," I said bowing my head a little. Which caused Glenn to laugh a bit.

"There's no need to bow your head at me! I just want to help you out, besides it looked like you needed it,"

"T-Thanks..." I said in a whisper, for some reason that cause Glenn to laugh even more.

"Your so adorable, I swear if I see you in battle, I have a feeling that your going to be a bad ass."

I smirked. "Possibly, hey Glen, if you don't want to sleep in the RV, would you like to share a tent with my little brother and I?"

Glenn suddenly started to shine, "Yes!"

I giggled a bit, I took out my keys to my Jeep and locked the car hearing a click. I picked the tent, opening it and started to set it up in front of my Car. Glenn looked at me a bit confused. Causing him to fix his Cap awkwardly and point at what I'm doing. "Ummm...Avril what are you going?"

I look at him, "I'm setting up my tent Glenn, I feel much more comfortable setting up my stuff here. It's near my Jeep, and I prefer to be near it then away from it. Just in case." I said quickly,

Glenn wanted to say more but he didn't question it, he knelt down beside me and started to set up the large tent.

To be honest, I don't know many people very well in this camp nor do I really trust them, sure they all seem like nice people but I hardly even know everyone. So its hard to really trust everyone who you don't know. To be honest I know My brother and I will be sticking with this people for god knows how long, but I still can't help but to not trust everyone here. But until the time comes, I refuse to trust anyone in this camp yet.

But until the time comes, my things, along with Jake's, are off limits. I might as well close my stuff until I know for sure that things are going to be ok. If anything, leave my stuff and the weapons lock inside my Jeep before really doing anything else. Until I know Glenn and the rest of the camps are trust worthy, I'm more then willing to share my weapons in the car. But not now..

I look over at Glenn to see that his already spreading the tent apart and started to set the tent up. Before I did anything else, I took out my Ipod that was laying in there for a while and unlock it checking out the time. 9:00 A.M. I let out a loud sigh and soon locked the ipod once more. Before I put the Ipod away I decided to take that was hanging from the rim of my plaid shirt and put my hair out. But while I was doing so, I have a feeling that someone was watching me.

I decided to tilt the Ipod around to see who is starring at me, and looking within the refection of the mirror to see who is eyeing me. I tilted the Ipod left, right, and all around. But the one thing I didn't check yet was behind me. As I tilt the ipod a bit down more. I notice a certain red-neck starring at me, eyeing me a little but as if I'm a show. I raised my eyebrow a bit and curious why his looking at me.

If anything, I guess his just trying to observe everyone to see what their like, personality wise, their habits, how they function. I couldn't help but to laugh a little but to myself to see that he kind of reminds me of a hunter, a wild animal who observes their enemies and find try to find out about them. He may be able to figure out a person. But if anything, I refuse to let him read me like a book. But still...he seems like an interesting guy. But before I put away my Ipod, I did something that I never thought of doing.

I ended up smirking at Daryl Dixon.
