Nessa's P.O.V.
Daryl wasn't in nearly as long as Gwen and Rick were. He looks at me and says "Nessa"
I look towards the door and I can feel my walls go up, I can hear Gwen's voice in my head telling me to behave myself. I can feel her damn eyes burning into the back of my head as I climb the stairs into the house.
I walk in and admire the place. Nice.
"Hello there, I'm Deanna Monroe"
I look at the woman sitting on a couch. I nod at her "Nessa McDade"
"Nessa, would you mind if I recorded this?" She asks
I shrug "What if I said no?"
Deanna smiles "Then I won't"
I smirk "Do whatever you want"
"Thank you. Please sit down"
I nod "Cheers"
I sit on the armchair and sit back and pretend to be more comfortable than I am. I do it with an attitude too, reflex.
"You're Guinevere's sister?" Deanna asks
"Why ask a question you know the answer too. How many other Scots are you expecting to see today?" I ask, rather rudely.
Deanna simply smiles "One more, your son?"
"Nephew" I say quickly.
"So there's a third McDade sister or brother?" She asks
"Probably not anymore" I say harshly.
Deanna doesn't look even a little fazed. Gwen warned her about me. I'm actually a little glad about that.
"What did you do before?" She asks
"I was an Archaeologists, PhD" I tell her.
She smiles "You are intelligent"
I nod "Yes, I am"
"You're not as modest as your sister" Deanna says
I shrug "Never seen the point in false modesty myself."
Deanna smirks "How are you with teaching?"
I nod "I'm pretty bloody good."
She nods "How would you like to be a teacher within Alexandria?"
"You want some random around your community's kids?" I ask with a raised eyebrow
"Yes, and it can become our community." She says, I almost smiled at that. Somewhere the kids can grow up, safe. Andy can realize his potential.
I sniff and sit on the edge of my seat "Sounds alright to me."
"Good, Welcome to Alexandria" Deanna says "Why don't you send in someone else in now, Nessa"
"Sure" I head for the door but something made me stop and turn "Here, eh, Thanks for this. I, I mean, my sister and the kids need this"
Deanna smiles and nods. I practically run out the door.
