These two chapters are a test run: I am busy at the moment so when i have time, i will bring in everyone who is still ALIVE!

Darkness. Total Darkness. It was once Ellie's enemy, but after years of building and harvesting her skills in archery, knife throwing, martial arts, stealth, and computer skills she was a bitch you do not mess with. Grabbing two bags full of food from her previous hunting trips, Ellie donned her mask and hoodie and began her journey to the container.

Daryl Dixon was pissed off beyond belief. He had just rejoined Rick's group and was now locked up in a container. What made it seem a bit bearable was that everyone was there. By everyone, he means everyone in the group that hadn't died or turned Walker. Now if only they could get out! As time went by everyone was exchanging stories of their travels and throwing out ideas that may or may not work. It has grown extremely dark and no one has come by to make sure they are fed or well. The door was locked from the outside and there was nowhere to sneak out from. Not taking it anymore Daryl went and punched the nearest wall.

Rick, who was in deep discussion with the others, looked up at the sound of flesh meeting metal. "Daryl, calm down!" he warned his friend. Heck, the two are almost brothers!

"I will when they let us the fuck out!" Daryl punched the wall again and began pacing. "Why is this happening to us? This supposed to be a place where others could feel and live in safety. Not be locked away and possibly be killed. Safe haven my fucking ass!"

"Daryl, cool it!" Glenn told him, but didn't approach. You do not want to be near a pissed off Daryl. "We all believed that this was our chance to survive and all of us are just as mad. So, please, calm down!"

Before Daryl could reply, Carl ran to the door and put his ear to it. "Someone is out there! They are coming this way!" Not long after he said that, the lock on the door was silently removed and the door was pulled away.

There stood a young woman wearing nothing, but black: pants, shirt, hoodie, shoes, gloves, and mask. Daryl, Rick, and Carl held up their weapons. The woman held up her hands showing two brown paper bags. Ellie knew they were going to react like this, but she has to stay in her outfit to avoid detection from the Terminus lot. Seeing that they will shoot to kill, she held up her hands and showed them the food.

"Easy!" Her voice was slightly muffled due to the mask. "I'm not with them. Hell, I rather kill those fuckers, but I'm alone at the moment." She looks towards Rick, who she deduced to be the leader. "May I reveal my face? It's rather bothersome to talk with this on my face."

Rick shared a look with Daryl and they both nodded. "Alright, just do it slowly!"

If she rolled her eyes, they couldn't see, but Daryl thought she may have. "Yes, sir! Thank god!" Ellie said with an exasperated sigh. She pulled back her hood to show her blackish brown hair tied back in a tight braid. "It's difficult to talk wearing this mask." She removed the mask and Daryl went still when he saw her face completely.

Ellie had a very pale complexion due to her lack of being in the sun, but had an angelic face thanks to her mother. Her lips were a rosy pink and had some freckles sprinkled across her cheeks. When the archer looked into the ninja's eyes, he seemed to momentarily lost in her beautiful sapphire blue… Wait, what?! Daryl shook his head. He did not see her that way or want to. Ellie looked at everyone, but her eyes kept going back to the crossbow wielding redneck. He was tall, tan, and… holy shit, he had a nice body. His clothes are…badass! His dark brown hair was close to shoulder length and part of it covers his face. When they made eye contact, her stuttered slightly at the sight of his baby blues.

Pushing those thoughts aside, she will think about him later, Ellie stepped forward and gently put the bags down. "I went hunting a while back and caught some fresh rabbit and deer. Snuck some vegetables from the dickheads here." Everyone seemed to chuckle, but it was only briefly. "I don't have anything to drink since help is coming tomorrow. So eat up because tomorrow we are breaking out."

"What do you mean by 'help is coming' and 'breaking out'?" Rick asked. The look on his face was the one that sent many running shitless. "Who are you and why should we trust you?"

Ellie looked at him and arched a brow. "My name is something to be told once I get you and your group out of this hell hole. You don't have to trust me, but at least let me help you." When she saw they didn't believe her, she asked "How can I get you to believe me?"

Before Rick could reply, Carl opened his mouth. "My dad had packed away some weapons near the fences. Retrieve those and we will consider your help." Rick stared at his son. Is he really doing this?

Ellie nodded her head. "Sure thing, kiddo!" Before running off she looked at Daryl and tossed something at him. "Time me, won't you handsome?" He looked at his hands and saw a stopwatch. Looking back up, the woman in black was gone.

"What the hell?" he asked, then turned to Rick. "Why does she want me to time her?"

"Just do it. We will ask her later, but right now," Rick turned to his son. "why did you tell her about my stash?"

Carl swallowed and explained. "She wants to help us, but knows these people. Best way to see if she can be trusted…"

"is for her to find something she doesn't know about." Rick finished. "In the dark, too. Does she know how dangerous it is?"

"Well, by the fact she's wearing black told me that she is used to it." Carl mentioned as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Everyone was silent. Who was this girl? Why is she doing this? There was whistle near the container, and everyone drew weapons.

Ellie scouted the perimeter until her instincts led her to the area outside the fence where the weapons may possibly be. After fence hopping, some digging, and fence hopping again, she was stealthily making her way back with the bag full of weapons. When she reached the container, Ellie blew a light whistle before approaching. Sensing that they had their weapons out, she stopped at the frame and pushed the bag forward.

"Is it safe for me to enter?" Ellie asked quietly. After a few seconds, Carl peeked out and gestured for her to come in. "Alright!" She enters with the bag. "I didn't open it so everything may be there." As Rick and Carl look through it, she turned to Daryl. "What's my time?"

He looked down and widens his eyes. "Three and a half minutes." Everyone's jaw dropped and saying how that was impossible.

Ellie smiled and fist pumped the air. "Yes! A new recovery record!" The looks of confusion she received were priceless. "Sorry! I keep records to see my improvements in my skills." Daryl held out her watch, but she closed his hand around it. "You keep it. Think of it as a token of trust."

Rick cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. "Everything is in order. How did you do that?" She just shrugged and said nothing. "Well, you proved that you are sincere about helping. When is the escape supposed to happen?"

Ellie smiled with success. "Noon. Be ready!" With that and one quick glance at Daryl, she donned her mask and quickly vanished into the night.
