A.N.: Ooh! Ok so thanks so much to the person who reviewed! I don't remember your username, but thank you! And thanks so much to whoever you people are who followed/favorited! I also can't remember your usernames. Anyhow, chapter 4.

The Governor man seemed nice. He had told them that if they gave him their weapons, they could stay at Woodbury. They were also informed that the place had running water. They could shower, they just couldn't use extremely hot water or take forever. Abby had taken her shower first. She came out with freshly brushed teeth and had even managed to shave her legs in the little time she took.

When Sophia went to go and take her shower, she was a bit surprised when she saw herself in the mirror. It wasn't like she hadn't seen a mirror since the outbreak, she just hadn't seen herself in a decently lit room in a while. Puberty had definitely taken its toll. Acne. Acne everywhere. Blackheads. Everywhere.

The shower was fabulous. She had forgotten how soap felt on her skin. She had washed all that grease and grime out of her hair. Grimes. How were they anyways? Did they die? Jesus, what about her mom?

Towels. Wonderful, beautiful towels.

She had also brushed her teeth. She was concerned that her gums would bleed from not brushing in a long time. She got lucky

Somebody knocked on the door. Presumably Abby. Sophia wrapped herself in a towel and opened the door to see her holding out folded clothes.

"They found something in your size,"

"Kay,"

Abby shut the door, leaving Sophia to change.

The clothes smelled like detergent. A smell she hadn't smelled in what seemed like forever. She couldn't stop smiling at the smell. It seemed stupid, that she was getting giddy over clothes and towels, but who cared?

When she returned to the room that the others were in, she saw clean people.

"Oh my god! How was it?" Abby asked.

"I didn't wanna get out,"

"Shit," Dan said abruptly.

"What?" Jason asked.

"We left the car behind,"

"Damn,"

"It'll be fine," Corey assured.

The group of six had to sleep in different rooms.

Dan and Jason in one, Abby and Sophia in another, and Corey and Gage in the other.


Four Months Later

Woodbury seemed more like a home over the past months. The Governor had let new people in every week or so, which allowed the town's population to grow.

Just recently, Merle had found two women. They also found a crashed helicopter with only one survivor. Unfortunately, he died for some unknown reason. Neither of them had met the newcomers since they were brought into the town.

The first "Biter Fight" was held two days after Abby and her group arrived. When they first saw it, they were appalled by the way some of the other residents found it to be entertaining.

Because of Woodbury's setup, and the fact it had other children there, Sophia had been "forced" to attend classes. Because she had turned 13 only a month before, she kinda had to.

She and Abby would walk around the town because she wanted to get themselves used to moving around instead of just lying around and doing nothing. Sophia's pace slowed a bit. She caught a sight of one of the newcomers. She looked a little...Familiar. She looked a little bit like Andrea...

No.

If that were her, then that meant that...

No.

They weren't dead. They were still out there.

"Sophie?" Abby said, "Come on,"

"Oh,"

"What was that?"

"Nothing," she muttered.

They proceeded to power walk their way around the town. Abby was still confused about Sophia's sudden stop.

Once they returned to their room, she kept dwelling on the possibility of Rick and her mom being dead. Abby started to talk to her about mundane things like the quality of the toilet paper in the bathrooms.

Distractions like that made things easier, but she still thought about everything. The distractions were good for Abby as well. After what happened with Becky and Pat.

Corey stopped by around 3 to check on his mother. He did that regularly so that he could get an idea on how she was doing. He wanted to try and act like an adult and do his job, while Gage was just mute after their ather died. He still blamed Sophia for it. He didn't really talk to anybody, he didn't really eat anything. He wanted to stay in bed all day and sleep, but when he did get to bed, he could never get to sleep. Jason didn't talk about it. He talked, played along. Acting like everything was ok. Dan and Abby had a stronger bond after their partners' deaths. They weren't sleeping together, they just were supporting each other. Sophia was flooded with the feeling of guilt. She had killed him. She took his life and had to pretend everything was fine.

Still, they tried.


Sophia had really started to think that it was in fact Andrea. She had only seen her two times more, but she had grown more positive that it was her. The woman who came with "Andrea" had left. It had only been about four days since they first came. Now they were being attacked.

It was night time and people had gotten inside of the walls. There were gun shots around every corner. Dan was out there with Abby's sons trying to defend Woodbury. Once the gunfire stopped, the Governor was about to make a speech. Sophia and Abby went outside to find out what he was going to say.

"I was attacked," he stated. He was sporting a bandage over his eye. He gestured his hand in a way to make his bandage more obvious than it already was. He brought out Merle in the "Biter Fight Arena."

"And his brother, own flesh and blood, Daryl!"

Fuck Sophia thought. Then again, they were alive! Or at least some of them were. She still had a chance of seeing her mother again.

Abby stood beside her, under the impression that Daryl was one of the bad guys.

Wait. Why did they come to attack Woodbury? They had to have had a reason!

The brothers made an attempt to strangle each other. She looked away, not wanting to see either of them get killed.

Then the others probably didn't leave because there was more gunfire. Her and Abby ducked, not wanting to get killed. It didn't last long though. It must've been just to get Daryl back.

Once they were gone, Sophia wanted to tell Abby that she knew both Merle and Daryl. She also wanted to see if she could find a way to talk to "Andrea." Problem was, she didn't want to walk up to her. As stupid as it sounded, that was the hard part.

A.N.: I almost started to write more, but I had to stop myself because I'm saving some things for the next chapter. Yeah, so I know I kinda did a sucky job writing the part with the Governor and the whole Daryl Merle thing, BUT I'm trying to to everything by memory instead of watching the show and wanting to follow every. Single. Detail. Yeah, so I'll try and update soon and please review!
