I just got another 1* review for using chatgpt at the start🤣 I think they don't even bother to read the synopsis; I already told people there that I use it at the start🤣🤣🤣 Dumbass bitches]

I slowly start walking into their camp, walking past between Rick and Shane. I look around while I do so, and act like I'm impressed with what they have.

"Hm...Nice, nice....Though, you're dumb for not having any kind of wall or anything to keep walkers out." I say with as I look around.

They don't say anything just keep looking at me. My eyes land on Lori, and I start walking to her, wanting to ask how did Amy leave the group exactly; Amy already told us, and it's not like I don't believe her, it's just that I wanna make sure.

When Shane sees me walk to her, his anger got best of him, and lung toward me. "Get away from her, you son of a bitch!" But he was stopped when he felt a barrel pushed against his back. It was Kenny who reacted quick.

"Wow...What? You thought I'm gonna hurt her or...want HER? Sorry, but I have a woman already, and she's not my type. Her head is formed like a fucking brick." I say, and casually insulted Lori.

Shane and Rick's face scrunched in anger after hearing my insult, but Rick is smarter than Shane, so he stays quiet. And now that Lori saw that Rick didn't say anything, I could see disappointment in her eyes.

I always hated Lori. Fuck her. I'm gonna make sure she fucking dies. She's one of the few people that I truly wanted to be dead; I even like Larry more, even though in the game Larry despised Lee.

"Anyway...you woman," I say and I point my finger at rectangular head, "You mentioned the name of one of my people, Amy."

"What did you do to her?" Dale asked with a worried tone.

My face forms to the expression of confusion. "What do you mean, what did I do to her? I saved her ass from being dead. She told me...that she went pissing, and got attacked by walkers...and no one came to help her, so she ran, and ran, and just ran, til we found her dehydrated and hungry."

Dale looks at the ground, from his face I'm guessing, he's ashamed a bit.

"Thanks to her," I continue, "we found your...camp, or whatever this trash is." I say.

Again, a lot of people are displeased with me, after calling their camp trash. And let's be honest, it was trash. No protection, too close to the city, I could go on. The only positive I could say about it is that it's close to a lake, and that's easy to hunt, as it's surrounded by forest. But we all remember how easily the walkers got there from the city, and how they died; Amy, Jim, Ed(of course who cares bout him)...

"So...we'll have a meeting- right now." I say as I turn toward Rick and his partner, Shane. "One of you," I point my finger at Rick then the other one, "find some place where we can chat, and bring the people who makes choices alongside with you two."

They reluctantly nod their head, and I head back to my people. When my group sees that no one from the camp is near, I get bombarded with questions.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Lee asks.

"What's wrong with you, why are you acting like a cheap villain?" Andrea asks.

And I got more questions from the ones who have good morals. The ones who didn't question me were Larry, Kenny, Maya, Duck, Clem, Carley, and Lily. Yeah, most of them didn't question me, which is good. Of course, I know that Carley didn't really like what I'm doing, but she trusts me, which I'm happy about. The kids of course didn't question me because they don't understand yet what I'm doing.

"Listen, listen..." They quite down. "This is necessary. We need them to not look at us as weaklings; and I don't trust them. You all saw how they pointed their guns at us the moment we pulled up; if we didn't have guns, they would have either robbed us or killed us." Of course, this isn't exactly true, as they aren't savages...yet. Anyway, this might sound like bullshit to you, but I want to be the leader.

I don't want to end up under the leadership of Rick. While in his prime, he was a fucking badass, he made dumb decisions. I mean, it was because of him that Hershel lost his fucking leg; what did he think was going to happen if he brings a 60 or more year old man to clear out a walker infested prison?

And what did Rick think when he didn't kill that fucking prisoner. It was because of that his wife died, and his son had to kill his mother.

I could go on with the dumb decisions, but I'm gonna stop there, or I would make myself hate Rick, when I don't.

"We're gonna have a meeting with these people; convince them to join us, under my leadership." I tell them, the ones who agreed with me immediately were the ones who didn't question me; the ones who did, took them a few moments to nod in agreement.

"I don't want to kill them, okay? I'll just make them either fear me or respect me. It's one of them. If they don't comply, we leave them here or kill them." I say with a shrug.

There was a moment of silence before Lee spoke up. "I don't agree with this plan. We can't just go in and intimidate them into following us. We need to find a peaceful solution."

I look at Lee with a raised eyebrow. "Peaceful solution? Lee, have you been living under a rock? In this world, you need to be tough to survive. You can't just rely on peace and hope that everything will work out."

Lee shakes his head. "I understand that we need to be tough, but there's a difference between being tough and being a tyrant. We can't force people to follow us. We need to earn their trust and respect."

I scoffed. "Earn their trust and respect? How long do you think that will take? We don't have time to sit around and wait for them to come around. We need to take charge and show them that we mean business."

The group was divided on the issue, with some agreeing with me and others siding with Lee. But ultimately, it was my decision, and I was ready to do whatever it took to ensure our survival.

As we made our way back to the camp, I could see the fear in the eyes of the people there. They knew that something was about to change, and they were right to be worried. It was time for us to take control and show them who was really in charge. And if they didn't like it, well, they could join the ranks of the walkers for all I cared.
