Bitten But Alive (The Walking Dead X Reader)

He walked over to me facing my back, I had my hand outstretched towards the door with a gun, I was preparing for them to break in. "I will on one condition."

Oh fucking hell what now? I looked back at him annoyed but curious in what his condition was. "What?"

"Give me a little somethin to remember you by,"his one hand hovered over to his ,seemingly chapped lips,before he finished his sentance,"right here."

If I don't do it this dumbass won't leave,I could give him the benefit of the doubt but only knowing him for a few hours I've realized he is a stubborn bloke. Fuck,I'm gonna have to do this aren't I? I debated pulling down the mask that covered the bottom half of my face but, he never said I had to. Gripping a handfull of his shirt and sleeveless jacket I quickly pushed my covered lips against his. He couldnt even react as I pulled him forward randomly, once realizing what I'd done he wrapped his arms around my frame and pulled me closer. I could feel him attempting to pull my face mask off but I stopped him. I heard the creak of the door and pushed Merle away rather harshly and flung a knife that was clipped to my belt at the door. I heard a crack of a skull as my knife went through the door up to the hilt.I turned towards him to see him smirking at me and looking me up and down as if I was a meal. I pointed out the window as I heard the door creaking again, "Go Merle!"

He pulled me into one last kiss before rushing out the window, into the rain storm that was now going on this night. His final words before he disappeared from my sight were, "When we meet again darlin' I'll be expectin a welcome back kiss."

It was the next morning now. Yesturday I had calmly walked out of that walker infested building,left a remote bomb to kill them all and gone to what I called my home. I had gone home collecting my things ,mainly weapons. Though I had to leave a bit of ammunition behind as it was too much to physically carry with me. Soon after with a motorcycle that I had found the keys for I headed off and out of the city before sunrise. I don't know why and I couldnt explain it but I felt like searching for those people again. They made my life the most interesting thing it had ever been, though they were annoying and stupid at times,"I hope they made it out alive."

I slowly headed down the freeway in the direction I had seen Glenn go in before. At one point I had gotten lost and my sense of smell wasn't of much help. Maybe this was a bad idea, I mean would they even welcome me with open arms? I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I revved the motorcycle and sped off quickly hoping to find them. Eventually I found a small trail into the woods and within the trail I smelled it. I smelled them. At least I hoped it was them. Humans had a distinct smell I had learned to track, and I believed I could distinct them from eachother. For that to happen though, I would need to be around someone for a while. I slowed down and turned towards the opening, going in more and more I smelled the humans. I wasn't sure if their were a dozen or more.Definetely more people than I had met back in the city. I guess his group isn't as small as I'd thought.

As I continued moving slowly forward I noticed the smell of raw meat,I also noticed the smell of a fellow walker.I stopped the bike and got off,slowly following the smell to where I noticed a dead deer on the floor.That wasn't it though,I noticed a walker on top of it,munching away at its neck,"This is making me hungry,really hungry."

Before I could step forward and kill it a child's sudden scream scared me and I turned back into the woods away from the deer,"I need to find the group."

Starring mindlessly at the floor I slowly made my way back to where I had parked the bike, until I got stopped as an arrow suddenly entered my abdomen. My eyes moved from the floor to the tip of the arrow stabbing into me.  I feel like I should have a more surprised or worried emotion right now. Eventually I glanced up looking around curious from where it came from but saw no one. I slowly brought my hand up to pull it out when a man appeared out of nowhere with his crossbow pointed at me. With my already raised left hand I pointed at the arrow that had lodged itself in my stomach, "I'm guessing this is yours? I can say your a good shot.."
