The Walking Dead: Warlord

S1E11 – Meet The Cast



I stand behind the thin sheet metal door of the RV, holding my side as pain flares up from the hole passing straight through me. My pistol is holstered on my right side, and my knife on my left. The voices of the camp muffled behind the door. I reach out and push the door open, only to be blinded by the sunlight coming down through the trees. I put up my hand to block out the sun as I hear a bright feminine voice speak,

"Oh! She's up!"

My head pounds as I try to open my eyes. I hear someone walk up in front of me and just barely manage to adjust my eyes as they begin to speak,

"How you feelin'?"

Opening my eyes, I see Shane. I chuckle slightly,

"Like a million bucks have kicked me in the head. The deer, not the money."

He chuckles and says,

"Yeah, bein' bopped on the head generally does that to people. How's the gunshot?"

I sigh and stretch a little,

"Haaaaah, not as bad as I thought it'd be. You should see the other guy, heh."

Shane nods his head,

"Yeah, I heard. I'm real sorry about what happened to you. Seems the world goes shit, so do the people."

I shake my head,

"Nah. They were shit to begin with. The world just gave them a reason to act out. Penny, by the way."

I stick my hand out for a handshake, which he takes,

"Shane. Come sit by the fire. One of our guys, Daryl, should be back with some food soon."

I nod my head,

"I'll take you up on that offer. Thanks for saving me."

He scratches the back of his head and says,

"Nah, it's nothin'. You really should be thanking Andrea and Morales."

He points to both of them. Andrea is wearing a blue t-shirt, and Morales is wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a blank blue t-shirt underneath. Both are wearing jeans. I nod my head and walk over to the fire. Sitting around it are Lori, Carl, Carol, Sophia, Andrea, Amy, and Morales. I get near the fire and take a seat on a log. I smile to Andrea and Morales and say,

"Thank you guys for saving me. And thank you doubly for bringing me out here."

Andrea shakes her head,

"It was no problem at all. I'm sorry you had to go through that."

Morales nods his head,

"Yeah, I wish I could've been of more help honestly."

I smile at them, and Andrea points to Amy,

"Who you should be thanking is her. After all, she's the one who offered to give up an outfit."

I nod my head towards her and say,

"Thank you for the clothes."

Amy smiles and says,

"No problem!"

I take off my backpack and pull out a pepperoni pizza MRE. I hand it towards Carl and say,

"You want some pizza, bud?"

Lori looks at me confused at first, then looks at Carl and nods her head. Carl jumps up from his seat and says,

"Thank you!"

I smile and bring out another, handing it towards Sophia,

"How about you?"

Carol looks over at Ed, who is sound asleep being the useless piece of shit he is and nods her head. Sophia walks over and politely takes the MRE from my hands before saying,

"Thank you very much."

I reach up and ruffle her hair up,

"No problem. Enjoy it!"

Luckily, I had a couple MRE's packed in my bag before you know what happened, so it shouldn't be too surprising for them if they went through my stuff. I doubt they did, but you never know. I look over at Morales, and see a blue screen pop up,

Not too bad. Better than me. Jesus, look at that strength! As I'm admiring his status, I hear another voice speak up,

"Ohhoh, sleeping beauty's finally up?"

Walking out of the forest is none other than Merle Dixon. Alright. So I'm here before Rick. Good to know. I nod my head and say,

"Names Penny."

He chuckles and says,

"So, when ya leavin?"

Andrea rolls her eyes and says,

"She's been shot. She's not leaving till she's healed. And even then she could still decide to stay with us."

Merle shakes his head and frowns slightly,

"Uh uh, nope. We don't need another mouth to feed. Much less an injured one that can't help out around the camp."

I look at him and bring up his status,

Jesus H. Christ. Dude's a fucking monster. No wonder T-dog couldn't fight back against him in the show. He's final boss level right now. I choose to just ignore him, knowing that nothing good will come from speaking to him. Besides, he'll be gone soon enough. After him, out walks Daryl, carrying a deer on his back. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Daryl quips,

"How about some dinner before we get at eachothers throats?"

—------------------------------

AN: There seems to have been some confusion. If you read the tags, you will very clearly see the YURI tag. While it won't really matter in the long run, there are some yuri scenes in this book. (This is more a note for Webnovel readers)

Also, there will be some minor supernatural powers. No magic or anything like that, just superhuman strength, speed, and intelligence. It'll be more evident with time as Penny's stats grow.

BTW: the strongest human on earth would have a strength stat of 25.
