(DISCONTINUED) Gia Dixon - The Walking Dead

Found

Gia's POV

It all happened too fast, one minute me and my parents are driving down the road, then the next minute, I'm passed out.

Wake up! Wake up!

WAKE UP!

I shot up, a gasp leaving my lips, I look around to see our car flipped upside down. I take a closer look, upon inspection, I regretfully see my parents dead, blood spewing out.
I gasp and start to cry, I never wanted this to happen!

I look in the car for my bag full of supplies and my favorite stuffed animal shark, I grab supplies from my parents bags and fit as much as I can.

I stand up, look around and spot two strangers looking right at me.
I quickly hide, afraid that they might hurt me.
"My names Sam, this is my partner Daryl, we're here to help." The girl smiles at me, the guy comes towards me and I quickly fumble to grab my knife.
I hold it up in fear but they don't do anything but hold out a hand to me, I reluctantly put away the knife and take the mans hand.

He smiles at me, I slightly smile back. "My names Gia." I say.
That's a wonderful name." Daryl pats my shoulder, I stayed silent.

I don't look back at my parents already knowing Sam will put a knife in their head so they don't turn.
"C'mon, lets get you back to our home." Daryl says.
"But I don't have a mom or a dad anymore." I sigh, I felt Daryl's demeanor changing, he felt extremely sorry that a little girl like me lost her parents in a horrible way and in apocalypse nonetheless.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of you until then. And we have many friends who will be glad to have you around." Sam smiles.
"O-okay." I walk with them until I see a big wall, I look to see a walker impaled by a huge steel rod.
"Open the gate!" Sam yells up to someone, they poke their head over, "sure thing! Aaron!" They yell.
"Glad you two made it back okay," the man I assume to be Aaron, looks at me, "who's this?" He smiles at me, I shyly hide behind Daryl.
"This is Gia, we found her on the side of the road, her car crashed and unfortunately her parents were killed, so were taking her in."
Aaron nods, letting us in.

"Glad you two are back alive, I was getting worried." A man approached us, he looked at me before smiling then kneeled down to my level.
"Who's this angel?" He holds out his hand, "my names Gia, my parents are gone, so Daryl and Sam are taking care of me." I say, shaking his hand, for some reason he made me feel safe.
"I suggest you take her to meet Deanna, she'll want to meet her." Rick says, "can you come with me?" I ask Daryl,"I don't wanna be alone right now." I look up at him with the best puppy dog eyes I could pull off, "don' worry kid, I'll be right by your side." He smiled, we walked only for a short distance till I saw a woman talking to another man.
"Hey, Rick wanted me to introduce you to the little girl me and Sam found." He nods to me.

She looks to me and I look at her, "what's your name little one?" She smiles.
"Gia." Is all I say.
"Welcome to Alexandria Gia, I promise this is a safe haven, you have nothing to worry about." Deanna holds out her hand but I refused to shake it, fortunately Daryl noticed me getting uncomfortable so he said goodbye then lead me to his home.
"I'm back!" Daryl yells, a woman peeks around the corner, she smiles when she sees me.
"Who's this little angel?" She kneels down.
"I'm Gia." I smile, she also made me feel safe, "my name is Carol, would you like something to eat?" She holds her hand out and I take it eagerly, I look back at Daryl who nods.
I smile at him and go off with Carol, "I have canned spaghetti," she opens the pantry for me, "may I have some spaghetti?" I ask.

"Of course," she opens the can, pops it in the microwave and soon enough a bowl of hot spaghetti is in front of me, I haven't had hot food in a long time, so this was heaven.
"Thank you so much Carol." I smile with a mouth full of spaghetti.
"Your welcome." She chuckles.
I finish my spaghetti and hand the bowl to Carol to wash.
"I have some chores you can help me with," Carol leads me outside to a clothes lined up of clean clothes.
"Do you know how to fold laundry?" She asks as she hands you a shirt.
"Yes, my mother taught me, but then she died." Tears started running down my face, Carol patted my back feeling sorry. "I'm sorry honey, I wished you hadn't gone through that."
"Yeah." I continue to fold laundry until dusk hits.
Carol takes you back home to a bunch of people.
"Everyone I would like you to meet someone, this is Gia." She smiles looking down at me.
I shyly wave, Rick walks up with a teenage boy next to him, "this is my son Carl, I hope you two can become good friends." He smiles, Carl looks at me and puts his hand out, "nice to meet you." He says, I take his hand, shaking it. "You too."

"Gia, this is my group, you've already met Carol, Daryl, Sam, Carl and me, this is Maggie, Glenn, Abraham, Tara, Rosita, Noah, Michonne, Gabriel and Sasha." He points as he introduces his group.
I just nod not completely trusting these people, "why don't we get you set up upstairs." Carol says, I nod following her up, with Daryl following behind.

Carol tucks me in, Daryl pats my head then wishes me goodnight.

I think I'm gonna like it here.
