I don't own the Walking Dead, nor any of the character except for my OC's.
Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait, just been wondering what I'm doing with this story since every episode of the Walking Dead(which I do not own) keeps surprising me and it's hard to make assumptions! So I am still doing this story just updates are going to be very spaced out. This chapter is short ): I hate short chapters in MY stories because I hate when others stories have them.. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
HAPPY READING!
PLEASE REVIEW!
Chapter Three
Amelia Broke was tiredly walking through the streets, only having her two pistols with her now. She was walking down a road that seemed to go on forever, her eyes were tired, she was sweating, and she felt like everything on her body was heavy.
The only thing that brought her out of her fog was a gun shot that landed right where her next step was and she jumped back and yelled, "What the fuck?"
Amelia looked around and in the distance she saw a large wall that looked to be guarded. Well obviously it was since somebody just shot at her from that direction but what really brought her attention was a loud groan that came from her left.
She looked over and found a walker wearing a bloody yellow sundress and it was staring right at her.
Amelia's breath quickened, her heart beat fast in her chest and she took off running, straight for that wall. Obviously somebody was in there, and hopefully they could help her.
She sprinted as fast as she could and she saw door opening from the gate and she nearly sighed in relief if she could breath normally right now. The brunette skidded to a stop as soon as she entered and closed her eyes and held her chest. Listening with relief at the sound of the gate shutting and triggers being pulled.
"Close call you had there, huh?" A male voice said from behind her.
Amelia whipped around and found two men standing on top of the wall and stared down at her. One had a full head of brown hair the other had a shaved blonde, with a knife for a hand.
Amelia nodded hesitatingly and looked at them. "Yeah, thanks for opening that." She said gesturing towards the gate.
The brown headed man shrugged and smiled kindly. "Always, seemed like you in a bit of trouble there."
She nodded again. "Yeah, and you know, thanks for missing me."
He laughed and nodded. "So, what's your name?"
"Amelia." She said looked up at him, it was night time, so it was hard to see any of their features.
"They call me governor, and this is Merle." The man said while laying a hand on the other man, Merle.
Amelia smiled friendly. "Nice to meet you both." She told them both genuinely.
The governor looked over at Merle and then Amelia. "Well we're still cleanin out some of the buildings so how would you feel about bunkin with Merle here?"
Amelia frowned and looked around. "Where am I?" She asked not answering the question. It was stranger here. There were low fires yet there were some lights on in buildings.
"Woodbury." The governor told her as Merle and him hopped off of the wall and waved on two more guys.
"Woodbury?" Amelia asked still looking around at the walker-free zone. Amazed at what she was seeing, for months she has wished to see this sight again, and now that she was seeing it again.
He nodded and they walked along the street with a small smile on her face. "We have people here. We have supplies here."
"So people here just continue on with their lives?" Amelia asked amazed at this.
The governor nodded and looked down at his watch. Seeing what time it was, it was time to retire so he could at least get about three hours of sleep. "I'd love to give you the grand tour but right now it's late. Biters are more active at night, besides you look like you want a shower and a place to sleep."
Amelia nodded with a small smile on her face, she couldn't wait until she could take an actual shower and sleep in a real bed.
The governor smiled and nodded. "Though so. Merle will show you where you'll be stayin while we finish cleaning up the rest of the areas."
Amelia nodded a little cautiously. Of course she was nervous about rooming with somebody she didn't know but hey it was better that the governor obviously trusted Merle.
The governor smiled and gave a little stare at Merle and walked off.
"So where are we going?" Amelia asked him when he just stood there staring at her.
Merle shook his head a bit and started walking towards the hotel building he slept in. "We are on the third floor." He told her and opened the door for her so they could go up the stairs.
"Not trying to sound lazy or anything but why don't we just take the elevators?" Amelia asked trying to keep up with him as he ran up the stairs.
Merle looked back at her before staring straight ahead again. "Cause we got solar panels but they only work in the day. Governor wants to keep oil and gas around for as long as we can."
Amelia nodded and looked at Merle as he opened up the next door and walked down the red and white hall. The floors were wooden and there were little torches on either side of the narrow wall. Eventually they made it to a dark oak door and Merle opened it non-ceremoniously.
"Welcome to my humble abode." He said slamming the door behind her. "Shower is down there and just opened the door you didn't open to get in." Merle told her and walked into the kitchen to get some scotch.
Amelia looked at him and frowned. "If you need clothes just take one of my shirts and sweats." Merle said after he took the first sip.
Amelia nodded and then smiled a bit as she went into the bathroom and looked at the large shower. It was large and square, the door to get in was clear and there was soap and a razor! Even an extra toothbrush.
She took a blue towel out of the closet, that was in the bathroom, and set it on the closed toilet that was near the shower.
The brunette smiled and her hazel eyes were bright as she eyed the shower longingly. Without wasting anymore time she stripped her red tee shirt and her dark jeans as well as her socks and boots and stepped into the shower with anticipation.
The warm water felt wonderful on her skin, she fantasized about this for God knows how long. It even felt great shaving her legs and feeling how smooth they were. Her mouth felt nice and clean and not filled with germs. Her head wasn't as itchy and greasy. Her skin felt like it could breath now that she could wash up all the grime that was caked onto it.
She stepped out of the shower and she could see all the steam rush to get out around her. She quickly wrapped the towel around her and exited the bathroom and opened the door that didn't enter with and walked into the large bedroom.
There was a king size bed with four pillows on it, and a light brown comforter on top of it. There was a large brown dresser with two drawers opened messily.
Amelia walked over to it and took out a black tee shirt and black sweat pants and dropped the towel. She put on the pants and just when she was going to put on the shirt, Merle walked in.
Merle whistled low and eyed her chest appreciatively. "Damn." He said loudly watching as she blushed and quickly pulled the shirt on.
"Didn't anybody tell you, you should knock?" She asked him scowling at him as she watched him clumsily take off his boots.
Merle chuckled and shook his head. "A man don't knock before going into his own room." He told her as if she were stupid.
"So where are you sleeping?" She asked as she crawled onto the left side of the bed.
Merle laughed and it was a deep booming sound and he shook his head. "Darlin, I'm sleepin in my bed. So you best move over." He told her putting on his own sweat pants and wife beater.
Amelia sat up on his bed her mouth opened. "You're kidding?"
Merle shook his head. "No I'm not kidding so you best move over before you're gonna sleep in the hall tonight."
Amelia frowned but scooted over on the right side and scowled when she felt the bed jostle as he got into bed.
"Ya aint gonna cuddle up to good ole Merle?" He asked her condescendingly.
Amelia wrinkled her nose and looked at him. "Nah, you smell like a horrible liquor." She told him.
Merle frowned and started to mutter to himself.
Amelia just smiled a bit before cuddling her self into the bed and falling asleep on the soft mattress. The first time in a long time, she was in a deep sleep.
