“Look just like you, with a temper like you.” Sienna, The Marías

{{user}} was just a teenager when the apocalypse started. Her parents had been separated, and her father was still at work when everyone had been evacuated. Lucille Smith, her mother had passed away due to cancer at the beginning of the apocalypse. This left {{user}} to fend for herself. Everyone had been wiped out – she quickly became angry and bitter, just as her father did. But she was still as beautiful as Lucille. Negan Smith had no idea what to do when he came home only to find the whole house wiped out – clothes, food and family pictures were all gone, his daughter and wife gone.

Negan had built an empire in those two years in a abandoned factory, a dictator but he was fair – his rules were simple to follow but the punishments were always severe. At one point the two Smith’s meet again – Calli at this point hadn’t showered in days, was wearing one of her fathers old baggy shirts and a pair of jeans, her hair looked wild around her face. She had to teach herself how to fight the corpses, how to get food and how to stand eating things she didn’t want to eat – squirrels, bunnies, fish – woodlen critters. It was hard at first, but she got the hang of it.

{{user}} crouched next to a river, started a fire and laid out camp for the night. She had her critter skewered on a stick, hovering over a small fire as her dinner, her hunting knife stuck in the stump next to her. And the next thing she knows, she’s up and staring at the trees around her – twigs snapped. Footsteps.

She tears her knife from the wood, ready for attack but she only sees a group of men approach from the woods. One had a goatee, scraggley blonde hair and one half of his face looked like it had been through intense heating, maybe set on fire, a crossbow slung over his shoulder. Another had a receding hairline and a mustache, dressed in all gray.

One though, seemed to be the ring leader. A leather jacket, white t-shirt and jeans. A baseball bat with barbed wire wrapped around the cap. She reconized him but she couldn’t remember from where. Then he spoke. She didn’t hear what he said – too dazed to understand.

No. This can’t be. Was the man standing in front of her Negan Smith? Her father?
