Christian Walker


Christian felt uneasy for some reason. Maybe it was because of the faint horrible smell in the hallways or maybe due to him not eating right away. The young boy walked the hallway towards the front door and heard a knock. His ears seemed to perk up at that moment as he placed a shaking hand on the door knob on for Darius to shout.” Hey kid! Away from the door before Nikki finds out. Didn't your parents teach you any better? Or did your sister teach you that bad happened on the run.” The kid blinked and waited for the man to come closer before knocking on the floor and then pointing to the door, as if the man knew his gestures.

The doorman shrugged, causing Christian to roll his eyes, and whisper in a very small voice.” There’s someone on the other side. They knocked.” the man nodded before shifting the child behind him. Darius opened the door, weapon raised, then let Ethan inside. He pinned the guy against the wall as the kid patted him down and taking his weapons away.” I think we should lead him to Nikki kiddo.” the child nodded and lead the way.

When they arrived inside the cafeteria Christian ran straight towards Nikki while grinning. He gently hugged her, acting like a cute innocent kid like when he did when Kyle would scold him, before whispering inside her ear,” I love you Nikki.” he released his grip and smiled mischievously at Ingrid and Jon before attempting to tackle the Irish woman’s neck in a playful manner.

Nikki Hishamie



Nikki grinned as Christian whispered his love for her. "I love you too Christian." Ingrid was suddenly bear hug tackled by a 14 year old boy whom she immediately began tickling. Nikki stood up and smiled at Darius and Ethan. Nikki offered her hand to shake. "Hello I'm Nikki Hishamie. Please, sit down, let's talk. It looks like you've met Darius here." Nikki smiled. "This is Ingrid and her boyfriend Jon. And this heart breaker over here is Christian."

Christian Walker

Christian giggled as Ingrid tickled him. This wasn't how one would play tag yet the woman seemed to be having more fun like this. When Nikki called him a heartbreaker he just shook his head with a smile. The boy looked at Ingrid and hugged her again but this time he wasn't about to let the woman tickle him again. He hugged her by the waist and quickly shifted faster than she could and tickled back with a cute innocent look. The kid had gotten used to calling all the older women here mommy in what seem like a short time. Christian stopped for his stomach rumbled and then looked at Ingrid.” Mommy I'm hungry.” he said in his usual whisper.@Wick

Ethan Blackledge


As he slammed on the gate, he heard voices coming from inside and then soon after the gate swung open and suddenly Ethan had a gun pointed right at him. Ethan put his hands up expecting that, what he didn't expect was to be chucked up against the wall and had his stuff stolen. "What the fuck?" He shouted in surprise but not didn't cause much resistance because of the gun.
They mentioned someone called Nikki and then finally led him inside, Ethan was clearly not impressed now. It took a while for Ethan to realize that the building used to be a school. Even in it's current condition, it was nicer than his old high school back in England. That place looked like it was about to fall down before the breakout.
They ended up in the canteen, were they led him to a girl a few years younger than Ethan. The girl was friendly, a lot nicer than the man who escorted him inside. "Yeah I'm Ethan and you didn't tell me that bastards name over there." Ethan said in a serious voice, his northern English accent clear to hear. He pointed to where the guard who'd led him in was stood. "And oh yeah, I want my stuff back what that little kid stole off me."

Nikki looked up at Darius, he walked over and he and Christian walked over and set his things on the table next to her. "Darius was just doing his job. We have to check people out before letting you run around in here with weapons. We have families in here. Security is the most important thing to keeping everyone safe. I'm sure you would agree. Go ahead, you can have your things back. Please sit and tell me about yourself?" She could see he was looking around and noticing the details. "So who are you? Where are you from? How many walkers have you killed and how many living humans have you had to kill?"

The guard dumped Ethan's belongings on the table in front of the girl who introduced herself as Nikki. She then continued to talk about the reasons why they body searched him. "I understand your reasons. Would be a bit smarter of him to be a bit more courteous though." She gestured for him to take a seat.

Ethan watched Darius leave the room before taking the seat. The only thing he grabbed off the table was his knuckle dusters which he placed into his pocket as he listened to Nikki. "My names Ethan..." He took a few seconds to compose himself before continuing. He'd only been in the building for a minute and he was already moaning at them. "I do appreciate you letting me in, I don't really want to come across ungrateful." It took him a few more seconds to continue, with everything that had happened in the past half an hour he completely forgot about Dana Point. He felt so guilty for a second but managed to keep a stiff upper lip. Something all English people seemed to be good at. "Well I'm guessing by now that you know I'm from England. The accent is usually a small giveaway." He let out a small laugh trying to keep his morale up.

"I'd been at Dana Point for most of the outbreak. I came to the US a few months ago to do a road trip, I was travelling to L A from Vegas when I heard about the outbreak, which was lucky because I was in the middle of no where. The radios said stay away from major cities so I headed south of L A and ended up passing through Dana Point. The people were relatively untouched. They hadn't been affected much by the outbreak but we heard through the radio stations before they stopped broadcasting that the world had turned to shit. Over the weeks, we had a few walkers wondering in on their own. Three days ago..." Ethan struggled to get the next part out. "Walkers flooded Dana Point, they'd killed most of us before we'd even woke up. They must have all come from Los Angeles, I tried... I tried to save people." Ethan looked down, the guilt started to cripple him again. "There was just too many. Everywhere I turned someone else was being bit... Or ripped apart." The images were burnt into his memory. "I stayed outside of the town for a bit, trying to see if people had managed to get out. I'm just hoping some people left in a different direction because I didn't see anyone." It took Ethan a few seconds to catch his breath over the story. "I lost count of how many walkers I've killed, as for people, none, I've had a few scraps but I've never had to kill anyone yet. Any other questions?" Ethan tried to smile but you could see the sadness in his eyes.

Nikki Hishamie



Nikki felt sad for Ethan. She remembered her first human kills. The first ones don't leave you if you have any kind of humanity in you. Nikki's voice softened.

"Unfortunately our world has become much more dangerous. The walkers are up front about it. They want to eat you. The people....will lie, cheat, steal and kill you to get what they need or want to survive. There are a few of us teaching others here how to fight. Self defense is a must. Being that we are in a large solid building that locks and is safe under attack, it makes us a target and I'm not going to lie to you. We've had some attacks. A couple of bad ones from people that used to live here. We've taken loss of life and we've taken the lives of our enemies. We do everything we can to avoid it but death is more common than we would like in this new world."

"I can tell you one thing though. I would rather be in here with good people than out there wondering if I was going to get bit or shot first."

She paused to give him a moment to let her words sink in. "We've recently found out that I am pregnant. So I have been given a bodyguard which sounds silly I know but there is a long story behind it. I am also fluent in the martial arts and I would help you learn if you want to. This is Ingrid, she is my bodyguard. Basically she follows me around all day and tells me what not to do. She is single handedly the most dangerous Irish woman you'll ever meet."

"Aye," Ingrid chuckled. "This is her boyfriend Jon. Jon is in charge of the guards on the outside of the building. He handles their scheduling, meals, clothing, whatever they need. Supply runs are normally done by a few of us. I however, have been forbidden to do more than make weapons and baby clothes. Believe me, you do not want me to cook. We'd all die of starvation. Most of the women help out in the kitchen since our wonderful friend and cook was murdered." Nikki was trying not to cry. "I hate the crying thing, that is one part of pregnancy I could do without." She sighed.

"Somewhere around here is my husband Kyle. He has taken over for me so he might be a tad bit cranky. My brother Matt and Kyle were both military. Matt is the resident doctor and one of our best fighters as well. He is the best big brother ever." Nikki kept having to wipe her eyes. "I'll let Christian show you to your room. It will be room 27." Nikki frowned slightly and said, "Please excuse me. I'm going to go lay down for a little while." Ingrid stood up and took Nikki's lead and they went back to Nikki's room and she lay down to rest.

THE EARTHQUAKE


Nikki was walking to the bathroom when the ground started to shake. The lights flickered on and off and the cement started to crack in places and water pipes broke. People were screaming and falling down. Ingrid grabbed her arm and stood her in a doorway. The shaking stopped a couple of minutes later but it felt like an eternity.

"MAAATT! We've got pipes spraying water everywhere! " Nikki told Ingrid to check on Kat and she went towards the gas pipes. If those were broken and there were any sparks this would blow the damn building up.

Darius had to bash his way through the door outside. Car alarms were going off and there were cracks in the parking lot. Nikki got to the kitchen and saw the fire. The kitchen was on fire. She grabbed the fire extinguisher and ran inside.

Kyle was walking perimeter when the ground itself started to shake. Kyle held his weapon tightly in his hand, and centered himself. He kept his cool, and started to watch his surroundings even more. Just because he was startled, it didnt mean walkers were. After a bit of time, the shaking stopped. Kyle ran towards the school, past the front gates and through the hallways. Kyle saw the destruction the shaking caused, and while the damage was minimal he feared for Nikki. He ran towards the closest person, asking if they had seen Nikki. When they said they didnt know, Kyle ran to the next person, then the next, then the next. No one had seen her. Kyle ran to their room, only to find it empty. Kyler ran down the halls shouting.

"Nikki! Nikki!"

Nikki had crawled behind the oven and shut the gas in the kitchen off. She had already put out the small fire. She went towards the cafeteria doors when the first of several aftershocks hit and this one was bigger than the original quake. Nikki guessed the original was at least a 6.0 and this one was worse. She grabbed her walkie. "Everyone get to the cafeteria asap and get under the tables. NO ONE stays upstairs. If you need help yell!" Nikki propped up the door and she went to help get Kat and the baby down. She heard Kyle yelling her name and she waved him down and she kissed him.

"We've got to get Kat and Gracie. I sent Ingrid up to get her." Nikki grabbed onto the wall and watched as the ground inside the school started to crack. "If today is the day that California falls into the ocean then I hope you can swim babe!"

"The only thing to come from Cali is that pot was made legal, I swear to God."

Kyle grabbed the wall as well, and stared Nikki in her eyes.

"Did I ever tell you I was born in Texas, and there are ZERO earthquakes there!"

"They get them everywhere, just rarely in Texas. Right now we need to get everyone down here and not get swallowed up if the building starts to collapse. I'll be right back!" Nikki ran upstairs to the third floor and opened the door to get the weapons that she had stashed up there. She jumped stairs on the way down stabbing walkers as she went. there were a few of them in the building.

She got on the walkie "THERE ARE WALKERS IN THE BUILDING REPEAT THERE ARE WALKERS IN THE BUILDING ON THE RESIDENCE END." Nikki got back and ran for her sword.

Ethan Blackledge


The girl looked sincere when she started to tell Ethan about the situation at the school. She started to talk about self defence, but Ethan was semi professional cruiser weight boxer. He replied with, "Yeah I can handle myself in a fight. I've been boxing for around fifteen years."

An Irish woman chuckled in the background after Nikki said she was the most dangerous woman about. "That doesn't surprise me, I've never met an Irish woman who wasn't dangerous." Ethan started to laugh with them as well.

After she continued to talk, she mentioned someone dying. It hit Ethan then that it wasn't just him that had lost people. "I'm... I'm sorry." That was all Ethan could say for now. She said her goodbyes and went off. Christian, the boy who took all his weapons showed him to a room and then quickly disappeared again. Ethan chucked his beg on the bed and laid down next to it.

ATTENTION


We have come to a place where everyone is not writing and it's holding up the rp so I have decided to do something extreme. In the next post I write there will be an explosion in the building and it will be blown sky high. If you want to keep writing in here you can write yourself as surviving and meeting up with Nikki. If you don't want to then don't write anything and we'll presume you are dead and move along without you. Whoever is alive is welcome to join them on the trek to Texas or Oklahoma.

I know Jon and Kyle will survive but as for the rest of you this should be interesting. I hope to see you on the other side.

The Explosion and collapse of the school

collaboration with @kurai assassin

Nikki got on the walkie "THERE ARE WALKERS IN THE BUILDING REPEAT THERE ARE WALKERS IN THE BUILDING ON THE RESIDENCE END." Nikki got back downstairs and she ran to hers and Kyle's room and grabbed her coat and sword and a bag she started tossing stuff into. She wasn't sure what was going to happen. She got out of their room and another quake hit.

This time Nikki saw part of the ceiling in the hallway coming down and over by the stairs to go up also. She yelled into the walkie. "EVACUATE THE SCHOOL NOW!" She ran back towards the cafeteria. "MATT! KAT!!" She looked in the cafeteria where she saw that the gas main was broken and the fire was raging again. She turned around and started to run back towards the stairs.

People were screaming and running everywhere. Kyle grabbed her and she struggled and he tossed her over his shoulder and ran out the front doors. When they were halfway across the parking lot the building blew up. The force of the explosion threw her and Kyle to the ground about 15 feet further away. Nikki looked up and jumped to her feet and she was caught by Kyle as she tried to run passed him. "No! No! I've got to find Matt! and Gracie and Kat!" He held her tight and wouldn't let her go back into the building.

Jon was already running to the second floor, grabbing his walkie talkie from his belt he yelled into it. "Guards get everyone from the ground floor out of here. Nick stop Nikki and Kyle from Re-entering. Tell them ill get Matt and his family out." As he reached the second floor the flames from the ground floor began to rise higher and make their way up the stairs causing his cloak to catch fire. He quickly lost the cloak and ran down the second floor corridor shouting at the top of his lungs. "MATT. KAT. INGRID. SOMEBODY ANSWER PLEASE!"

Ingrid was just about to Kat's room when part of the floor she was on collapsed and she went dropping between two floors. She felt part of her side was cut and she was holding onto a piece of iron rebar and she was hanging by a one hand. She pulled herself up a little bit and yelled when she realized it was at least 15 feet to the ground below and it was cluttered with debris. Ingrid heard a large blast and saw the floor that was the third floor falling towards her. She screamed and ducked her head as she began falling.

Jon noticed Ingrid about to enter Kats room when the floor gave way and she fell through being smothered in debris. "NOOOOOOOO" he screamed as he ran at full pelt towards the gaping hole. He grabbed his walkie talkie off his belt. "Nick, i need you to go and check for Matt and Kat, Ingrid fell through the floor and i need to go help her. I'm sorry to do this to you but i need to do this." he said as he attempted to drop into the same position Ingrid had fell into.

Meanwhile Nick took a shot at a walker as it stumbled out of the building, before taking off back into the building in search of Matt, Kat and Grace.

Matt had gone to the second floor looking for Kat and he had heard screaming and had to move debris off of one of the older men. Matt had pushed on and then the explosion had happened and most of the third floor came down on the second pushing all of it towards the first floor. Everything was collapsing. "KAT! Gracie!" Matt could see their room up ahead but he wasn't even sure they were in there. Matt lifted a boulder sized piece of building and threw it out of his way. And then everything went black as Matt was hit on the head by part of the third floor.

Jon began to shout Ingrids name as soon as he hit the floor. He had cut a gash in his leg which to anyone in a normal situation should have rendered him unable to walk but the adrenaline surging through his body willed him to continue. "INGRID, WHERE ARE YOU?"

Ingrid started to come to, she could hear the sizzling of electricity, the fire blazing and the creeks of the building as it was trying to stay up but was failing and then she heard the most wonderful thing. She heard her name on the lips of the man she loved. She was buried under debris and she started coughing. "I'm 'ere! Jon!" She pushed her arm through the debris until it felt like it was free.

Jon saw the arm and heard his name called out. "I swear to god your one lucky bitch." He said gripping the rubble and attempting to move it. His hands, which should have been in immense pain were numb as he hoisted a burning beam off of Ingrid before grabbing her and cradling her in his arms looking for the nearest exit from the building.

Ingrid had inhaled so much into her lungs she couldn't stop coughing but as more of the building started falling she put her feet down and grabbed Jon's hand and ran with him out of the building. As soon as she got outside she started coughing so hard she collapsed onto the pavement.

Nikki saw Ingrid and Jon coming out and she ran towards Ingrid and she grabbed her in a tight hug. "Did you see Kat or Matt?" Ingrid shook her head. "I never got to their room." She said wheezing. She looked up at Jon, "Did you see them?"

"I'm sorry, I tried to reach them but then i saw Ingrid fall and... OH SHIT. Nick went in to look for Matt." He said as he finally had time to assess the situation. He looked down at his burnt hand and looked at the gash in his leg. The pain had finally got to him as he collapsed to the floor.

Ingrid held tight to Jon's hand and when he collapsed she helped him. "Yer na goin' anywhere without me." The fence was starting to collapse under the weight of all the walkers pushing on it. Nikki ran to the truck and opened the door. "Get him in here!" Ingrid got to her feet and she and Kyle dragged Jon over and put him inside it. She grabbed a crowbar out of it and she shut the door on him.

Nikki, Kyle and Ingrid were soon joined by some of the guards and Darius and they battled the walkers outside the school hoping there would be more survivors shortly.

Gracie didn't know what was happening. Everything was shaking and people were screaming. She screamed in response.
Kat felt a sense of panic she had never felt before. An Earthquake followed by a walker infestation along with the school collapsing around them. She grabbed Gracie and hightailed it from their room. She could hear walkers snarling down one hallway so she darted down another. A part of the ceiling collapsed, blocking their way.
She was part way down some stairs when it happened. An aftershock rocked the building again, causing more the fall. Kat was on the stair way when she heard a sickening cracking noise. She looked up in time to see the ceiling coming down at her. Screaming, she covered Gracie as best as she could but still got knocked down.

When it settled, Kat was pinned by the rubble. She started coughing and tasted the metallic tang of blood in her mouth. Gracie was screaming and Kat couldn't feel her legs. A quick look showed her why. They were flattened by a piece of the ceiling, likely gone. And the blood currently choking her was from the piece of rebar that was sticking though her chest. Strangely, she felt no pain. Kat felt light and far away, removed from everything.
The sounds of her daughter screaming nearby sounded like it was coming from far away. Kat blinked, her vision beginning to tunnel and go black. She saw Gracie crawling towards her, crying. Reaching out, she touched her angel's face for the last time.
"Mommy loves you Gracie..." she coughed again, blood splattering onto her daughter.

The crying face of her child was the last thing Kat ever saw....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gracie cried and screamed. Her mommy had gone to sleep and wasn't waking up. The toddler pounded on her shoulder and face, but her mommy wouldn't wake up. She pulled herself up to a standing position and tried shaking her mommy's arm. Why was she sleeping? It was scary here. Where was Daddy and Aunt Nikki? They would make Mommy wake up.

The walkers on the first floor heard the screaming child, but debris from the crumbling building presented obstacles for them. Thankfully they were not smart enough to work their way around it quickly but it wouldn't take long for them to figure it out. Gracie didn't know any better than to stop crying. But it alerted not only the walkers but any living people in the area to her location...

Matthew Hyatt



Matt woke up in a fog. He could hear screaming. His head hurt but all he could think was get up Kat needs you. He got to his feet and his head cleared enough to realize that he heard Gracie screaming. He turned around and stabbed a walker that was in front of him now. Pushing past it he ran over top of the debris.

The smoke in the stairwell was getting thicker and Matt saw his baby girl. His eyes only registered her, a fire and walkers. He knew Kat had to be there too. Matt ran through the doorway and jumped. it was about a 20 foot leap down but he rolled and made it only twisting his ankle a little. "Gracie!" he scooped his little girl up and she clung to him tightly screaming her head off. Matt looked down and saw Kat. She was turning. "Awe baby...no.." Matt cried. If Gracie hadn't been there crying he would have stayed there with Kat and died there with her. He checked Gracie out for bites and injuries and he wouldn't let her look at her mommy anymore and he zipped her into his jacket so she wouldn't see anything. He slipped a knife into Kat's head and kissed her forehead. Matt proceeded to get to his feet and he ran through the falling rubble passing everyone else. He had to get Gracie out of there. She was all he had of left of Kat.

Nikki looked up as Matt stumbled through the doorway. He was coughing. Nikki ran to him and hugged him tight til she heard the baby and pulled Gracie out of his jacket. She looked up at Matt and she knew Kat was gone. He couldn't stop the tears. "Nik she's gone." Nikki was being clung to by Gracie and by Matt. Nikki looked around and saw Ingrid's face as she realized Kat was gone. Ingrid turned right around and stabbed the next walker right in the face. "MATT!" Nikki yelled at him. "Fight the walkers with me." Matt nodded and the fury rose up in him and he took out his fury at losing Kat on the undead. Nikki just held Gracie and worked on soothing her. Nikki climbed into the truck with Jon and she eventually got Gracie to go to sleep. By that time the baby was hiccuping in her sleep and she was having bad dreams. Nikki knew this because every time she got scared she would pull Nikki's hair.

Erin McGarth


” Erin what are you doing up so late?” A familiar voice sounded behind her forcing her head to turn. The child’s nose was scrounged up as an unusual smell filled her nose. Something screamed that everything wasn't alright in the room yet so some reason her parents were wondering what she was doing at of bed.” Don't you smell that mommy? I think something isn't right with the stove.” Erin said in her usual cute way that made her mother squeal in delight.” Oh baby girl it's all in your head. Let mommy make you some nice warm milk.” The woman stated as a male walked into the room with papers in his hands.” Scorcha have you seen-,” he stopped as his daughter looked up at him.” You're supposed to be in bed young lady.” Her father said sternly.” There's a funny smell coming from the stove.” she said while pointing to it as her mother looked for matches.” Erin when you're done drinking you milk-” the lighter half jerked up with a scream caught inside her throat.

A knock on the door caused a shiver up her spine. The young woman want to tell the person to get out and yet a female’s voice called I'm coming in. The woman looked at her with disgust and anger and placed down a pair of gloves, a shirt and pants with matching black boots. The person left as quickly as she had came. Erin sighed and gathered everything and walked to the showers. She was inside for a little bit before turning them off and quickly got dressed. The lighter half had just zipped up her boots when the earthquake started. In fact the young woman hadn't noticed until it began to intensify and Robert suddenly ran inside the room, roughly grabbing her arm, then swinged her against the wall. They stayed there, even while they risked debris. The aftershock slowly worked as walkers entered the room forcing a part of the floor to give and clear a less dangerous path, granted there was still walkers, but thankfully Robert had a weapon. He thumped one undead against it head as it got closer to the pair, this in turn caused the deceased body to fall on top of another, allowing the man to once again roughly grab her arm and run.

The two was by the door before Erin started to panic about Alex's well being. After the while escape stunt he had been placed under lock and key inside her room by the guards themselves. She looked at Robert and noticed that he was distracted at the moment then ran to find her man. The girl searched the rooms, getting closer to the smell of gas before freezing completely, and then fell through the weakened floor. The injury that should have accorded should have been the end of her and yet somehow she wasn't scratched. The hole was covered by the wall and descended her into darkness causing more fear to rise inside her. When Alex would find Robert he would see the man working on getting the young man out with some walkers shuffling towards him.

Kyle Hishamie
and Nikki Hishamie and Ingrid


The earthquake had been unexpected but Kyle could have dealt with just that. When the walkers showed up that was no big deal, that was his everyday. Kat dying.....Kyle was going to mentally punish himself for that. He knew that this time there was litteraly nothing he could have done, but that did not make him feel better. He didnt want anyone else to die. Then the entire mother fucking school blew the fuck up. Kyle swore that things could not get worse. So many people had died. Matt had survived thank god, and so had his child. When Nikki wanted to try to go back in, Kyle stopped her. He held her back, making sure she got to the truck.

Kyle had his nine millimeter hand gun, his boot knife, a machete, and his bag full of homemade bombs. Kyle smiled when he felt them. It had been too long since he had done anything with them. Then he realized what an ass he had been the last few weeks. He had been so obsessed with trying to keep everyone safe, only for this to happen. Kyle ran up to Matt, who was slaying walkers with a vengeance. Then he decided to back away. He knew the loss Matt was feeling and deciding he needed some him time. Kyle then ran over to Ingrid. He smield as he killed walkers with her.

"So..this may be a bad time but sorry for wanting to kill you before for not trusting you. Believe it or not, I am not usually like-..."

Kyle noticed the wound on Ingrid.

"Ingrid...you're hurt!"

"Yeah, It's sore but I'll survive. I'm more worried about Nikki losing her baby and about Jon's leg right now. I'll survive a little cut. Our fates are all in God's hands now. Right now it doesn't matter how tired or sore or broken we are.It's not in our hands any longer." Ingrid wiped her eyes. "I'm just upset I couldn't get to Kat in time to save her." She stabbed the next walker in the Eye.

She looked up and saw more survivors walking towards them. "We are going to need cars to get us all out of here. You should take a couple of guys with you and go get some. Make sure we have wheels. Be careful though-" she said as another quake hit and they lost their balance and fell against the truck. Matt was moving so fast through the walkers that no one alive dared to go near him. He was in his monster state like he was the day he killed Kat's father.

Nikki was watching her brother through the window of the truck and she shifted Grace in her arms and kissed the baby. "I love you Gracie." she whispered trying not to cry again.

Kyle fell against the truck, looked up, and dived forward still off balance. In mid dive he whipped out his gun and shot a walker in the head that was going for Ingrid. Kyle got back to his feet and looked back at Ingrid. He smiled.

"Yea sounds like a plan. Let me check on my wife, and then I can do that."

Kyle ran back to the side of truck where Nikki was sitting, and held himself upright on the truck. He saw the state she was in, and his eyes softened.

"Nikki...hey....so....today sucks huh? How are you doing babe?"

Kyle turned around, pistol whipped a walker in the head, then shot it. Then he turned back to Nikki.

"I'm alive. That's about it. I'd be better if Kat had made it....." She looked at her brother past Kyle. "If he had not found Gracie he would have stayed with Kat. I have no doubt of that. As it is he is going to be all over the board for a long time. If he recovers at all. Kat was his world."

Nikki wiped her eyes and asked him, "You going to go get some wheels? It is looking like several got out. Be careful of the other buildings. The school isn't the only one falling apart and ..."

Right at that moment the fire found the gun powder and there was a HUGE explosion and the school turned into a raging inferno! Nikki jumped and the noise woke Gracie up screaming. Ingrid fell and a walker fell on top of her. She screamed and Matt reached over and yanked it's head clean off of it's body and helped her up.

Kyle leaned in and kissed Nikki, then ran over to where the rest of the survivors were fighting off walkers.

"Hey Yo! Guys! We need to move out, lets grab some wheels for everyone! Everyone, follow me!"

Kyle lead the group of survivors towards the parking lot of the school, slashing and shooting, punching and kicking. Kyle was sad to see one or two of the survivors didnt make it, getting killed by walkers. He tried to lead but also stay with everyone as much as possible, killing any walkers that got too close. When they got to the vehicles, Kyle started assigning people to cars. Everyone except for him was assigned a partner and everyone hopped into a vehicle. Kyle hopped into a blazer,a nd tried to start the vehicle. But to his suprise, it was low of fuel. Kyle slapped the steering wheel and cursed. Just his luck. Kyle looked out the window and saw that others were having the same problem. The walkers were gaining on them.

"Ok everyone lets hurry we dont have a lot of time."

Kyle hopped out of the blazer and jumped into a silver.grey impala. Kyle started the car and saw the tank was half full. Kyle smiled and drove the car next to the truck Nikki was in. He got out and saw that others were doing the same.

Alex Hill




Alex woke up in a room within the school with a pounding headache and his arms bound. Last thing he could remember was when they tried to escape Erin had run back into the school and when he chased after her three guys came up to him. It felt like his head had collided with something. Quite possibly the butt of a gun. He was groggy but he still felt the tremors in the school. He slowly tried to stand up and noticed part of the floor had given near him. He leaned over and used some rebar that was sticking out to loosen the ropes around his hands.

As soon as the rope was dealt with he heard an explosion, "What the heck is happening?" He walked over to the door and had to break it down because a small amount of rubble had landed in front of it. He quickly but cautiously made his way through the hall when he noticed Robert trying to lift up a piece of the wall that had fallen. He saw the Walkers closing in on the man and Alex moved into action. He darted forward grabbing Robert's weapon then killed the Walkers before they could make the man into a snack, "What the crap is going on, Robert?"

"There was an earthquake and then explosions. Hurry and help me lift this wall." Alex quickly made sure no other Walkers were close and moved to the wall to help lift it up, "Whose down there?" An earthquake had to happen now. This wasn't good. He needed to get out of here as soon as possible to make sure everyone was alright. "Erin fell through the floor and then this wall came down covering the hole." Once Alex heard that it was Erin down there he shoved all thoughts from his mind and focused on moving the wall to get to Erin.

Once the two had lifted the wall enough Alex slipped into the hole. Robert was able to finish lifting the chunk of wall enough to shift it to fall elsewhere. Alex quickly looked around until he found Erin. Seeing the fear in her eyes Alex swiftly lifted her in his arms. He looked around and saw a door that they should be able to get through, "Robert, there's a door down here. Come open it." Robert looked at the door that Alex was talking about then hopped down. They moved over to the exit and peeked out of it. A few Walkers were on one end of the hall being drawn by a fire.

The small group quickly rushed out of the room towards the front of the school. They made it out right behind a few other survivors. Alex quickly darted to his truck and put Erin in the passenger seat. He then closed the door before she could do anything about it. He ran around to the drivers side and jumped in. He looked to Erin pulled her into a hug and said, "Are you alright?"

Camyllia


Camyllia had been watching the school from afar on a roof of a two story house in a near by watching it through some binoculars she had found. The Earth quake had just past and with Erin and the rest in the school. It was when the school blew that Camyllia felt her heart break and the air suck from out of her. She had gone on a run to look for more supplies so that everyone had someway to defend themselves when it happened. She had been inside when the Earth quake pasted so she felt worried now that theres fire and smoke it made her panic. She grabbed out a radio that she had swiped on a run before they left. Haru had the other one on the other side.

"Haru we got a problem. The fuckin' school is in flames! I'm gonna go an' get the others." She says into the radio

"Blitz!" Camyllia runs over to the tree she used to climb up to climb back down. She felt tears building up Blitz was in a fenced in yard so the walkers around them couldn't really get to them. Well whatever just arrived Camyllia had killed the others and looted the house." We gotta go back girl." She says pulling out the tactical machete she had retrieved from the house and running to the gate she killed the walkers there and opened the gate. Blitz bolted out followed by Camyllia to the truck she had hot wired getting in she started up the truck. She Ran over a Walker while turning before speeding towards the school.

Hitting the road

collaboration with @Dabombjk

Gracie had reverted to sucking her thumb as she had fallen back to sleep. Nikki had been trying to see who had survived as the stragglers slowly made their way over. She saw Erin and Alex, Ethan, Robert, George several others that she knew and a few she vaguely remembered. When it came time to head out Nikki opted to take Matt with them in the truck. Nikki let Ingrid drive and she hopped into the back with Matt. Niki was terribly worried about him.

Kyle drove with a few nameless guards in the silver impala he aquired. He stayed behind the truck Nikki was in, and as they drove they killed any walkers they could or quickly deconstructed any road blocks that blocked their way to Texas. Kyle's attention was constantly pulled away though from where he was, drifted back to Nikki. After a bit of time had passed, Kyle pulled out his walkie talkie and hailed Nikki on hers.

"Breaker breaker this is sexy man 44, do you copy?"

Nikki looked at her walkie but she couldn't reach it because Grace was sleeping on her arm funny. Matt grabbed it. "Really dude? You are sooo not my type. What's up Kyle?" Nikki looked at her brother and smiled. Maybe given enough time he would recover. His eyes looked bright for half a second then they went right back to dull. Gracie shifted in her arms.

Kyle chuckled. "Excuse me but I dont know any Kyle I am Sexy Man 44. But you sound hot. What are you wearing? Im wearing gross walker blood and messy dirty. Plus dont forget all this lovely sweat. Just your average trucker appearance."

Kyle honked his horn twice in quick succession, trying to be funny.

Nikki watched Matt sit back against the side of the truck and she handed him Gracie whom he cuddled as if she were the most prized possession on the planet. She picked up the walkie. "Hey baby you guys okay back there?"

"Yea we are fine, but super bored. Havent seen a walker in an hour weirdly enough, and no road blocks. And that cute sounding guy just got off the radio so no sexy time for me."

Kyle ignored the laughter in his car and the whistling.

"But we are surviving. How about you babe?"

Nikki looked at her brother and his baby girl. "We are still numb right now. We are going to have to find more gas and shelter for the night soon though. It's going to be getting dark soon and we will also need food. The baby will get fussy and start screaming if we don't."

"Yea copy that. I saw a sign a little ways back that there is a motel a few miles away, but it didnt seem like there was a huge amount of stores. I think just one gas station. There was another sign for a pretty popular hotel, and its sure to have supplies to boot but more than likely covered in walkers. Its your choice. Stop sooner and hope we get lucky with supplies, or travel quite a ways farther and fight?"

"Sooner since not everyone is the same on gasoline." Darius spoke up chuckling at Kyle a little. "Yeah Sexy man 44 we are down to a 1/4 tank back here." Robert popped up and said "We are between 1/4 and a half back here too." Nikki nodded. "Sooner rather than later. Plus in unfamiliar territory I would rather get in for the night so that we are not trying to set up in the dark wherever we are. I want a good lay of the land for security." Nikki sighed and laid her head back against the side of the truck.

Kyle thought for a second then spoke again. "Can do. Nikki why dont you be in charge of security when we stop, and Matt comes with me. I wanna scavenge a bit, see if I can find anything useful and see if I can siphon gas from any trucks or big ass vehicles."

Kyle checked his cars gas gauge. "I am at a little above 1/4 a tank, by the way. And if you call me by my should be my online name but instead is my trucker name name, you better be out in your seat. You know what I mean."

Ingrid came over the walkie. "We need to find some medical supplies too. We have wounded don't forget. I'm getting off at the next exit. It looks like there is a gas station and a few other buildings so maybe it's not too bad." Nikki nodded.

A couple of minutes they entered the parking lot of a gas station. It was one of those bigger stations. Nikki grabbed her sword and as soon as the truck stopped at a pump Nikki hopped over the side and Matt went on alert. He got out and handed Grace to Ingrid in the truck. Then followed Nikki inside the store to turn the pumps on. He pulled out a knife as soon as he opened the door. Nikki was already dropping bodies left and right. She rounded the cashier area and hit the all run on the pumps. This would allow all of the pumps to be activated.

Kyle parked near the exit of the gas station, then got his guys to move out. Each went to a different pump with a cherry can, getting as much fuel as they could. There was actually a decent amount of fuel, and they were able to fill almost everyone up and have a few jerry cans to spare. While they were doing this, Kyle defended them, moving fast and swinging like a demon. He used his machete and boot knife to stab walkers in the head.

Nikki grabbed a cooler inside the station and she waved some of the others inside to use the facilities and grab munchies and drinks. She made sure to get some Gatorade and peanut butter crackers for Gracie. She also went down the aisle and grabbed everything first aid that they had. She also grabbed some small packs of baby wipes and a box of diapers out of the stockroom.

Once the area was clear of walkers, Kyle signalled for his group to relax. He went inside the station and found Nikki. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Guess who?"

Before he got the words out of his mouth Nikki had headbutted him backwards and nearly killed him. As she turned and saw who had grabbed her she sighed and pulled him to his feet. "What the fuck? Are you trying to get killed?" She hugged him and looked at the bruising on his chin starting. "There are times for that and while we are doing this is not it. You are lucky I didn't swing my sword first."

Nikki's stomach made her stop a moment. The next thing she did was run to the bathroom where she vomitted. She rinsed her mouth and washed her hands and came out looking a little white.

"Good news...the baby is still with us. bad news is...its making me sick." When she got outside they were switching places. Jon and Ingrid were taking residence in the back of the truck and Matt was going to drive and Nikki and Grace were in the front with him. Nikki hugged her brother tight for a moment.

Kyle walked back to his car, rubbing his chin. This sucked. He realized the gravity of the situation, but still.....he was conflicted. He wanted to be with Nikki, to make sure they were fine. On the other hand he knew that Matt was going through some heavy crap and needed her. Kyle let one of his guys drive and he popped a seat in the back. While they drove for just a tiny bit longer, he field stripped his weapons and back.

Nikki held Gracie as she slept. "Matt? How are you doing?" Nikki asked him. Matt looked at her and his eyes looked so hurt that he couldn't answer her at all. "Let's go. Kyle, can you guys take the lead and that way you can locate a place that might not be too bad to hole up for the night. I'm kinda thinking like a farm or something." Nikki waited and the car Kyle was in pulled out in front of them.

After making sure Erin was alright Alex told her he was going to discreetly leave a message for the others. He exited the truck and spoke to anyone he could avoiding those close to Nikki, Matt, or Kyle trying to figure out if they had a plan of where to go. When he got all the info he could he took his small Tanto knife from his truck and carved into the side of a car that wasn't being taken a message Sadie or Micky would easily understand which would take others quite some time.



As soon as he was finished he rushed back to his truck and check who was around. Mainly he was looking for the three who caught him during the escape attempt. He only saw two and estimated that the other had died. When everyone started pulling out of the parking lot he went with the theory that the guy was gone.

When everyone stopped at the gas station Alex joined in to keep Walkers away from the others. All he had right now was his Tanto because he had given his stuff to Sadie and the rest of them. When it seemed as if everything was clear Alex hopped into the bed of his truck and silently watched Erin as she slept. The fear and memory had gotten to her and she practically blacked out from the experience. It may take awhile before she starts feeling better.

Out of the corner of his eye he notices one of the three telling others that he was going around back to 'releave' himself. Alex felt that this was an opportunity that he couldn't pass up. If these two spoke to Nikki or anyone else it may be bad. Alex silently moved to be behind the gas station opposite the way the guy had gone. There was a small fence and a Walker was on the other side. The guy was trying to position himself to take out the Walker, but since no one else was around Alex took the opportunity to cover the guys mouth and shove him into the Walkers arms. There was a small muffled yelp as the guy was somewhat ripped apart. Once that happened Alex smacked the guy in the head knocking him out.

Before someone came around to see what the noise was Alex was gone. He watched as the few who came killed the Walker and then solemnly dug the knife in the back of the mans head. Alex overheard that those who found him didn't feel like risking bringing anyone else's morale down and disposed of his body into the dumpster. Only one person really knew the guy and they had come up with the idea. Alex smiled to himself. One more to go and Erin will be safer.

Just before they started leaving Alex used a jerry can to put more gas into his truck. He got back in and began driving when he was clear. Erin shifted in her sleep and Alex rubbed her back hoping it might help soothe her.

Kyle Hishamie
and
Sasha




Kyle sat in the back of the silver impala, taling apart and putting back together his nine millimeter. He heard what Nikki said, and told his driver to pass in front of the others, They drove a ways longer, not seeing any place decent to call home. They were in Texas by now, and Kyle was getting bored. Nikki was with matt, and everyone else was doing their own thing while driving.

Kyle watched out his window when he noticed not too far away up ahead there was a crowd of walkers following a women, who barely seemed to care. She stayed out of their reach and killed any that got too close, but over all just seemed..........indifferent.

"Guys we have a survivor up ahead, I will stop and help them out real quick then we can keep moving. You guys can stay back, no point in everyone getting worked up."

Kyle and his crew stopped a little bit away from the crowd of walkers, and when they got out of the car they had their melee weapons out.

Sasha wondered if the walkers following her were ones that were insulted that she had survived the destruction of the community. Certainly some of them were from there. She just trudged along, continuing to avoid getting bitten, but not really caring. She heard the approaching sound of a car, but didn't particularly car. She didn't look up, just kept putting one foot in front of the other, killing a walker as it drew too close. But at the sound of car doors opening, Sasha had to look up.

She seemed surprised that the people had stopped and even more surprised that they were helping her. They had weapons. And more then the hand gun she held. She blinked, realised she had stopped, and turned around to kill two walkers that had seen her stop.

Sasha was already battered and bruised, and would soon only have her knife as a weapon. She stumbled back, away from the crowd of walkers.

Kyle and his group of three ran forward, charging the walkers in a formation. They hacked and slashed, and killed multiple walkers before bad things started to happen. One of Kyles men got bit from behind, startling them all. This gave the walkers all the opportunity they needed. They were able to pounce on Kyles men one by one, Kyle killing the last walker as it bit his third friend. As his friend stood there, expressionless, Kyle took out his hand gun and shot him in the head, As the dead man crumpled to the ground Kyle turned to Sasha.

He waved at her, and motioned to her to come over to him. "Hey! We should be clear for the moment! Come on over!"

Sasha stood there, dazed. Three men had just died. For her. And she wasn't worth it. She blinked blearily as the last man yelled at her to go over. She stood there a moment, wondering if she'd just be doing the world a favour if she just died right there.

But she looked at the dead, and she knew she couldn't, not when three strangers had just given their lives for her. She heaved a sigh, going over to the last man. "I...Thank you" Her voice was raw, her throat dry.

Kyle could see she was in a bad place, and he sighed. He grabbed her hand and walked her to his car. He rummaged through the back and found a water bottle and bag of crackers in one of his deceased friends bags. He offered them to Sasha.

"Here eat and drink this, it will help. My name is Kyle Hishamie, and me and my friends are looking for a new place to set up shop. Are you ok?"

Sasha watched as the man gathered some things, giving them to her. On reflex, she took them, staring down at them. She looked back up as he as if she was okay. "No. No I'm not. But I haven't been bit, if thats what you mean. I'm...I'm Sasha. I wouldn't go that way. There's a large herd. And the only safe place was overrun" She opened the bottle of water, drinking from it, slowly even though she wanted to guzzle it. She handed the crackers back, knowing she had her own food, and not wanting to take anymore then what Kyle had already given her.

Kyle smiled. He took back the food and tossed them in his vehicle.

"Ok so if you dont mind I have a few questions. How many walkers have you killed? It is.....quite obvious you arent in the best of states, and from your knowledge of where the walkers are..........I am sorry for what im thinking happened, happened."

Sasha gave a sigh, looking away. She could say it didn't matter. She could say she hadn't lost anyone, but she knew she'd be lying, and she knew she must look a horror. "Until two days ago, I'd killed seven. Now? You can follow the bodies if you really want to know" She said softly, looking back to Kyle. She knew he was being kind. But it was...hard. "We had a community...we lost people making it, but it was safe...and then the herd came. I...everyone's gone. Why would I survive, when they all didn't?" It was a question no one could answer, and she looked down, at the water in her hands.

Kyle nodded sympathetically and put put his hand on her arm.

[color=004b80]"I get it, our group just faced its fair share of tragedies. Long story short, the school we were staying at exploded. My next question is this and I need you to be one hundred percent honest ok. Have you killed anyone? I dont mean walkers I mean actual real people."

Kyle immitated a gun shot at his head.

"My last question is if you have killed anyone, how many people have you killed?"

Sasha flinched, as if she had been slapped. She closed her eyes, and whispered "Yes" She swallowed around a lump that had formed in her throat, "One. I didn't have the tools to save them...a...a bite doesn't always have to be fatal, if its on the hands, arms, legs and feet...You can...you can chop it off...but my supplies were all gone...I couldn't save them. I didn't have a big enough knife...I shot them. I killed them, because how could I leave them like that? And now I let three more die for me. Why are you being kind to me? Your friends are dead because of me"

Kyle looked over at the bodies of his three friends and realized she was somewhat correct. They all died, and he felt nothing. Hell his last friend was bit and he just straight up shot him in the head without hesitation. Kyle looked back at Sasha and put his hands behind his head.

"Hmph......Dont flatter yourself Sasha. We are all dying left and right and I guess I am just numb to it right now. But it isnt your fault. They were my friends and I will miss them but we werent that close. And I am sure if your friends were alive they would say dont blame yourself."

Kyle looked back at Nikki's vehicle and for a moment his gaze softened. He then looked back at Sasha.

"Ok so how about this. You should come with us. We need to stick together, us surviviors."

Sasha didn't even want to think as death as just something that happened. As being numb to it. She didn't want to turn cold. "You can't be numb to death, Kyle. Being so...it makes surviving not worth it. I lost a whole community. Some of them are right then, dead. They deserve more then i can give them. They deserve to be buried. They deserve to have lived.

Death ...death is not something that shouldn't affect you. No matter if its the tenth death you have suffered in ten days.

Otherwise...you're already the walking dead."
She followed his gaze to the other vehicles. How many people were in there? Not many, unless they were packed in like sardines. Perhaps across all of them...15 maybe. She looked back to Kyle. "As a specieis, we do have to have hope. But...I can't stop blaming myself. You didn't have to stop. They could be alive. One person for three? Even with me, you still are two less then you were..". She gave a soft sigh, but nodded. How could she not go with them? "I'll come"

Kyle sighed as she spoke, hoping that she wouldnt be down like this the entire time. He radioed Nikki.

"Babe, we have a new person joining us. Her name is Sasha. And.....we lost the three guys I was with. We can have a ceremony later."

Kyle motioned for Sasha to get in, and as she got in the passenger side, he got into the drivers seat. He started up his impala and continued to drive, with the rest of his group following behind him.

It was a few miutes before he spoke again. "Sasha,,, I recently lost my unborn child, and my wife is pregnant again. I wasnt able to kill the man responcible for her being kidnapping and losing the baby, and I killed the man who killed someone who was very dear to all of us. She was great, always smiling and full of life. And I killed her killer.......brutually. Then my school got hit by an earthquake and ended up going up in flames and over run with walkers, who killed even more of my friends. And before all this," Kyle said waving a hand around, "I was a soldier in the army. Ive seen plenty of death and let me tell you, being numb to it is the way to go. Dont let yourself get caught in an emotional uproar."

Sasha listened as Kyle spoke, looking out the window. He seemed to be trying to justify not letting it all get to him. She waited until he had finished speaking, before she spoke. "It's been two Days, Kyle. Two days since I lost fifty people. Two days since I lost my parents, my-for all intense and purposes, fiance. Before that? It must have been months before we lost any.

I've seen death. I was a nurse, before all this, and training to be a doctor. Death is natural. But each and everytime I watched someone die...you can't not feel it, or you aren't...you aren't human. There's a reason why we have emotions.

You may have lost people. And you may think you are protecting yourself by not feeling their deaths. But you aren't. Eventually, you will crack. You will lose it. ANd where will that leave your wife and unborn child? Where would that leave all the people in the vehicles?.

In this world, it can't just be about surviving. Or how are we any different then the dead? Feelings...they remind us what we are fighting for. We are fighting for anger, happiness, joy, fear, pain,, and most of all for love. You have so much, to be human for. A wife. A child on the way. People who look to you. Don't lose them by not feeling grief. By not being thankful you are still here, they are still here.

I can wish I died with my people. I can wonder why I survived. I can think its some cruel joke, but I'm still here. And their deaths will way on me. Because that's what grief does. It lets you know you are still alive. And that you have lost people. It helps keep them...immortal, by remembering them, by being saddened by their death. Otherwise what are you? Something that eats, that survives. No different to the walking dead"


Her gaze never left the view the window gave her, and she let out a breath as she finished talking, knowing it wasn't her job to try and convince him. Knowing that she hadn't had it as bad as others, until now.

Kyle scoffed at Sasha.

"Hate to break it to you sister but its a walking dead world we are living in. The dead dont care who or what they eat, they dont have feelings, they dont even think. Maybe they are winning because of this. So yea maybe its only been two days for you, but you dont get to be sad and mopey. We have a guy in the truck, brother to my wife in fact, who lost his wife with the school leaving him a single father now. He is being all mopey and sad, and something bad will happen to him because of it unless I stop it or he pulls himself together."

Kyle shifted in his seat.

"When my wife lost our first son, I was devastated and I blamed myself, but I didnt fall apart. I took action, I got my revenge as much as I could, and I took charge. I have all my screws and marbles in a lead freakin box, and it wont crack. Not untill I die, or if im lucky enough to grow. But at either of those times it will be too late for me to affect anything. So im not worried."

Kyle swirved slightly, dodging a few walkers.

"And so what if I died sooner than later? That group of people behind us, they survived long enough without me and they will either survive or die based on the merits they have. But I do have a question, why do you wanna immortalize the people you lost? That is just torturing yourself and in my opinion it is what will get you killed."

Kyle paused and smiled slightly at what he saw. He radioed Nikki and everyone else.

"Breaker breaker this is Sexy Man.....ummm 46? Whatever my new call sign is now Angel Lover. Love you baby," Kyle said making a kissing noise, "Anyways serious time, I spot a farm up ahead. I am taking us to there now. Looks like there are a few walkers in the fields but not at the actual farm building itself."

Kyle drove up and parked in front of the farm house.

Sasha shook her head, giving a sigh. "You're wrong. I'm allowed to be "Mopey and sad" and you have no right to say I can't. It didn't stop be living,now did it? I may have thought several times that it might be better to let that group run me down and tear me apart, but I didn't.

Do you seriously want your child to think its okay to have people die and not care? That's the makings of a psychopath there. If you don't care about yourself, care about them. Because a kid learns alot from their parents. And if they don't learn that death is something that is sad, were going to have a whole world of people that will kill without a moments hesitation.

You think the walkers are winning? They only win when people stop trying. You may think hardening yourself is good. You may think that it will keep you alive. But it won't.

As for the guy in the one of the other cars? How would you feel if you lost your wife? You said you were devesated when she was kidnapped. He's allowed to feel like that, but I bet when he held his child, he acted and kept them safe. I bet if one of those walkers somehow got into that vehicle, he'd do what needs to be done. Because thats how humans are. Our feelings give us the strength to do what needs to be done, and making yourself hard? That makes you brittle. One day Kyle, if you don't let yourself feel, one day you'll break. Do you want that to be when you are protecting your child?

Think about that"


As they parked, Sasha got out, effectively putting an end to any further discussion on that, and she started towards the walkers, leaving Kyle to check out the farm house or whoever else wanted to have that task. She tucked her gun into her pants, and took out her knife, walking towards the closest. She might want to simply lay down and cry, but there were things that had to be done. She could cry when the walkers were dealt with.
