------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The third month had rolled in quick, you had been going out on a lot of patrols, Maria was weary of letting you since what happened with you last month

But Tommy had agreed to accompany you on the patrols but it felt more like he was your keeper and you were some feral animal being tamed, you had tried to shake Tommy off and tried to find Joel on the first few weeks but Tommy always caught on before that even happened

So you gave up trying and took up hunting food and scavenging for items in buildings or abandoned camps and cabins, you had found quite a lot of useful items and brought them back to Jackson

When you did go on patrols, you only carried a crossbow and a knife, you believed if you fired a gun it would scare away any prey and it would alert any infected or raiders to your position

But each patrol you went on something felt different, you had noticed you were reverting back to your way of surviving before you had reunited with Tommy, Tess and Joel

Like you would walk or crawl on your hands and feet like Gollum when you were hunting or scavenging and you also started to revert back to your lost boy fashion, some people in Jackson thought this was strange but didn't question it

but at night and sometimes in the day you start feeling different like you were becoming a feral animal, it felt like a switch in the back of your mind would just turn on without you being were of it

So as you neared the fourth month, you ponder to yourself if you should stay out in the wilderness but stay close by cause you felt nothing tied you to Jackson except for the house, yes you had Tommy and Maria but they weren't what you needed, what you needed was .....

A sudden clash in the air startled you as it brought you back to reality, as looked around you remember you were far outside of Jackson with Tommy as a storm had appeared out of nowhere as you's took shelter in a cabin but at the same time the sun was setting as you looked at Tommy with worried eyes

"Tommy I think you should take the bedroom tonight" Tommy looked at you then glanced at the window to see the sun setting then back to you "no it'll be okay, we'll be fine plus I'll be getting dinner ready before that happens" "do you want to test that theory"

"Y/N why do you want me to take the bedroom", you looked at Tommy with unsure eyes "I don't know, I just have this feeling like something is about to happen tonight so that's why I want you to take the bedroom and I don't think Maria would be too happy with me if you return home injured"

Tommy started to think to himself and understand what you were on about but as he looked around the room to notice there were a couple of sharp objects scattered around the room and that's when Tommy decided

"okay Y/N I've decided that you will take the bedroom and I'll stay out here", "are you sure Tommy, that sofa doesn't look comfortable what if your back gave out during the night" "Y/N did you just call me old" "maybe" you let out chuckle before retreating to the bedroom, Tommy watches you retreat to the bedroom he was stunned by hearing your chuckle then smiled himself and shook his head
