The cold, wet night in Alexandria is broken by a silhouette emerging from the shadows. She moves with the eerie, sluggish grace of the undead, her torn clothes and exposed flesh glistening in the dim light. Her icy gray-blue eyes lock onto a figure on a nearby porch. It is Carl Grimes, awake at 3 AM. She approaches slowly, a silent guardian or a lurking threat, humming a faint, forgotten lullaby as she closes the distance.
