I haven't decided but I think I imagine Maci as Lily Collins...yes or no?
-
"A run?" I smile.
Deanna nodded.
"You, Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Glenn, and Maggie." Deanna smiled.
"My first run." I smile.
"Good luck." She patted my back.
I smiled then sighed as I walked back into the house.

I ran up the stairs and went to my room. My room.
I smiled at the thought.
I put on a tank top and zipped up a jacket over with skinny jeans and combat boots. I put up my hair in a messy bun then went back downstairs.
"Where are you going?" Carl asked.

"On a run." I smiled.
His eyes went big.
"What?" I laughed as I grabbed my holster and started putting it on my pants.
"Your gonna get killed or get hurt Maci." Carl said.
I shook my head.
"You don't know a lot about me yet but I'll tell you when I get back." I said.

He looked at me confused.
"All I'm gonna say is that I've been alone through this whole thing since the beginning of my life so I'm kinda a professional..." I said.
His eyes softened.
I put my gun in the holster and loaded it. I then put my knife on top of it.

I looked up at him and he sighed.
I walked out and he followed. I met everyone by the doors.
"Maci here." Maggie said as she handed me a empty backpack.

"Daryl and Michonne your on weapons and amo and things like that."

"Maggie and Glenn your on any other supplies you think we will need."

"Maci to test out how good you are, your on your own with food and I'll be on watch outside."

Rick looked up and I nodded.

"Dad?" Carl asked.
Rick looked at him.
"Can I go?" He asked.
"Carl you need to stay-"
"Dad seriously? Please I could help with Maci-"
"Carl I got this." I turned around.

"I could just help." He said.
"Fine." Rick said.
Maggie handed him a empty backpack then we all loaded into the van.
I sat in between Maggie and Carl. I saw Glenn holding a gun as he watched out the back window.
I sighed and looked at my shoes.

"So Maci how do you like it here so far?"

I looked up to see Michonne.
"Different then what I'm use to." I laughed.
Everyone smiled.
"I mean going from out there to somewhere safe...it's difficult to get use too." I said.
"Yeah we know the feeling." Glenn smiled at me.

I laughed softly.

"Ok everyone!"

Everyone turned towards Rick.
"Everyone know what to get?" Rick asked.
We all nodded.
"Go in then go back to the van once your all done." Rick said.
We all nodded as Glenn opened the back door. We all piled out and I stood by Carl.

"Daryl." Rick nodded.
Daryl knocked on the door and after a while we heard nothing. They went inside and checked the whole place for walkers.
"Clear!" Rick yelled.
We all went in and I darted towards food.
"Carl hold it open." I said.

He opened the backpack and I put all the food I could find inside. Cans, some water bottles, chips. Tons of different things. Whatever I could find I filled both bags with tons of things.
Carl put on the bag and looked at me.
"Ok back to the van." I said.
We started walking then I spotted a huge can of beans.
"Bingo." I said and grabbed it.

"MACI!" Carl screamed.
Something grabbed my arm causing me to scream. I went into action and the walker instantly pulled me towards the shelf. I went back and the whole shelf almost collapsed on top of me.
Carl shoved the light weight shelf back and knifed the walker in the head.
I sighed out of breath.

"Thank you." I said.
He nodded.
"Are you okay?" He asked as I looked at the can of beans everywhere.
I shook my head quickly as tears started to fall.
Carl instantly hugged me and I just cried. I wasn't 100% sure why I was crying but I was.
Carl held me there and wrapped his arms fully around me.

"It's okay

"It's okay." Carl whispered.
"I'm sorry." I laughed wiping my eyes.
He smiled getting the hair out of my face.
"I guess I just did that because no ones ever done that for me before." I said.
"Did what?" He asked.
"Protected me like that. Saved my life." I said.

He smiled.
"So thank you." I said.
He laughed a little in disbelief.
We walked out towards the van and got in.
"Everything okay?" Rick asked as a dead walker fell to the ground.
"Yeah just fine." I smiled and looked at Carl.
