Shane Walsh shakes Kaitlyn's petite hand, as he takes in her appearance; Shane thought she was stunning, beautiful, gorgeous. Her long blond hair reaches her mid back, the little freckles scattered along her face, all along her nose. The T shirt she was wearing didn't do much for her body, but Shane knew she was curvacious, this was a big turn on for Shane, and if the world hadn't gone to complete hell he would probably flirt with her. But it was different now. Girls always came easy for Shane Walsh, he was like a cat longing for milk, if you wanted a simple fuck buddy, all you had to do was tap him on the shoulder. Shane smirks, his eyes firmly planted on her large chest, this causes Kaitlyn to scoff, crossing her arms, "Pig." she mutters. Shane lets out a chuckle, "Darlin' I took a look in your vehicle, seems you're traveling alone? That can't be too safe." Shane sends a wink in her way, though as most girls would blush and giggle, Kaitlyn's face stayed hard, "I can manage." She speaks firmly. Shane smiles, "You could join my group and I, a pretty little thing like you can't handle all of this." Kaitlyn gawks at the man; rolling her eyes, she opens her mouth, "As refreshingly sexist as that is, I think I'll just stay on my own." She turns around to go grab the handle of her door, only to be stopped by the hands of Shane, "Please, it would make me feel better, knowin' that one more person in this crazy world was safe." Kaitlyn had always been known for being a smart ass, and it took every fiber in her being not to have a sarcastic remark to fire back at Shane. She closes her eyes temporarily, before sighing, "You lead the way." She opens her eyes, meeting Shane's, a smile spreads across the southern man's face. "Alright, darlin'." Shane hops into his car, after helping Kaitlyn into hers, Lori instantly smiling his way, Shane smiles back before yelling out the car window, to the several cars that were behind him- the group, "Follow me!" He doesn't wait for an answer, as he drives off the road, into the grass.
Kaitlyn follows Shane's smaller car, a knot in her stomach, fearing she might have to run into one of those hideous creatures yet again. She pulls the car to a stop, once Shane does, the several cars behind her doing the same. Kaitlyn hops out of her pickup, walking awkwardly over to Shane's car. He gets out, and smiles at her. Lori Grimes, currently wife of Rick Grimes gets out from the small car, grabbing her child Carl Grimes- the sight of the child causes Kaitlyn's face to instantly brighten- she always loved children. Shane notices this and smirks at her, Carl approaches the girl shyly, "I'm Carl." Kaitlyn grins, as the little boy speaks, "I'm Kaitlyn, but please call me Katie." Her grin turns into a soft smile, wrapping her small hand around Carl's even smaller hand she gives it a small shake. Lori grabs her son's shoulder, yanking him back gently, "Lori." She smiles at the young girl, hugging her tightly, Kaitlyn sighs hugging back.
By now, Kaitlyn had met everyone; Merle, Daryl, Glenn, Lori, Jaqui, Carl, Carol, Ed, their daughter Sophia, Dale, Andrea, Amy, Morales, and his family, can't forget Shane. Shane soon orders everyone to go off, and set up their tents, as everyone leaves, Kaitlyn stands there, scratching at the back of her neck, "No tent?" Shane's southern drawl pulls Kaitlyn closer to him, she shakes her head no, "Looks like you'll be bunkin' with me." Kaitlyn sighs, but nods as she follows Shane into the deserted woods in front of them, no matter how quiet, or isolated they were Kaitlyn wouldn't feel safe, not with those creatureslurking around.
Not long after setting up tents they were all sitting around a fairly small fire, they all stay silent, finally letting it sink in that the world they had once lived in has gone to complete shit. Kaitlyn stares blankly at the fire, watching the embers glow in the night, a single tear pricks at her eye, thinking about what she had to do to her parents not much earlier, she quickly blinks it away, If they see me cry, they'll think I'm weak she thinks to herself, pulling her jacket closer to her body, the woman that she had remembered as Carol takes a seat next to her, "Honey, why don't you eat, Daryl went hunting when we got here, and you look upset." Kaitlyn sends a weak smile toward the woman, "Thank you, but I'm not really hungry." She whispers, Carol nods understandingly, giving Kaitlyn a quick squeeze, before returning to her smaller campfire of three. Kaitlyn listens to the people around her tell the stories of how they found out about this whole thing, They had it much worse then I didshe once again thinks to herself. She looks at Lori and Carl with sympathy as Lori explains how her husband had been in a coma while this was happening. A frown makes its way to Kaitlyn's face, watching a single tear roll down Carl's cheek, his mother quickly wiping it away, "It'll be okay, baby." Lori gently whispers into the child's ear, Carl nods with no emotion.
Kaitlyn silently waits in the tent for Shane, but decides to change as he was not in the tent currently, sliding out of her t shirt, she throws her sleeping shirt on, Shane walking in just as it slips over her head. She quickly pulls it down, the blood easily making its way to her cheeks, Shane smirks, "Now, darlin' no need ta' be blushin' not like I haven't seen a girl in her undergarments before." He ends his sentence with a wink, before he throws his shirt off, revealing his tanned, toned chest in front of Kaitlyn's eyes. Her eyes glue to his 'God Like' body, before she averts them to the floor of the tent, Shane smiles, before laying down on the padded sleeping bag, patting the other one beside him, his eyes meet Kaitlyn's. She awkwardly sits next to him, laying her head on the pillow, closing her eyes. Sleep didn't come easy to her that night.
Kaitlyn is awoken by a almost silenced scream, but it is loud enough for Kaitlyn to hear, she grabs the hunting knife beside her, silently unzipping the tent, she walks out. A walker stand no more than three feet away from the child who she remembered as Sophia. Crouching down slightly, she approaches the creature; the gargles get closer, the more she moves, she acts fast once she sees the walker reaching out for Sophia, speeding up, she digs her knife into the top of the walker's head, smirking as she did so. Blood sputters upon her face, but she's smart enough not to let it get into her mouth or eyes. Once the creature drops to the floor, Kaitlyn pulls the knife from the walker's head, wiping it on his plaid ripped shirt, before turning to Sophia, who stands petrified before her, "You alright, hon?" She whispers, quickly moving in front of the small girl, kneeling Kaitlyn lays her hands on either side of the child's face, checking over for any scratches, "Yeah." Sophia whispers, smiling at the young woman standing before her, "Lets get you back to your ma." Kaitlyn takes Sophia's hand in hers, walking to the tent in which her parent's rest, Sophia places a single kiss on Kaitlyn's cheek before walking into the tent, zipping it up. Kaitlyn quietly walks back to her dark green tent, making sure not to make much noise.
Kaitlyn walks into the tent, turning around to zip it closed, "Where were you?" The voice of none other than Shane Walsh frightens her, unsure of to tell Shane what she had just done or not, Kaitlyn makes up a small lie, "I had to pee..." She looks into his deep brown eyes, giggling slightly, he only smiles, yawning, he pulls Kaitlyn's petite body into his, whispering a single "Goodnight." Before shutting his eyes.
