We are the walking dead (Carl Grimes)

Chapter 1

"Layla come on we gotta go" I opened my eyes to see one of my best friends Lauryn standing over me. "Come on, Eva said she saw a horde about a mile back heading this way". This was a usual thing for us. I haven't slept in 2 days and as soon as any of us do get to sleep we're woken by the growls of hungry flesh eating zombies which we call walkers. About 2 years ago a disease broke out. At first it was only small with only a few people becoming infected but soon it started to spread. People who were infected died but came back to life again this time as a walker. The people who first became walkers started biting other people so it spread pretty quickly. Soon entire city's were over run. My family died when it first became bad. We were still living in our small home on the outskirts of Atlanta when my dad died. He was bitten while on a run but didn't tell anyone. That night he turned while we were asleep and bit my mum and little sister. I had to kill them all then. My little sister, Kaia was only 7 months old. I was on my own then before a man named Morgan and his son Duane took me in. I was staying with them for a while before we found a man in a hospital gown wandering the streets with a huge blood soaked bandage on his side. Duane thought he was a walker so hit him across the head but before he blacked out he whispered the name Carl so we knew he wasn't a walker as they can't talk. We took him in and Morgan cleaned out his wound which we later found out was from a gunshot because he used to be a cop. He said his name was Rick and that he was looking for his wife and son named Lori and Carl. The next day he took us to the police station and gave us guns and ammo. He then thanked us and we told him we'd follow him to the Atlanta refugee centre later on. Morgan wasn't ready to move on yet. His wife had turned and he wanted to put her out of her misery before he left. However when the time came to do it he couldn't. And after taking many shots he attracted every other walker for miles. They were everywhere. The last thing I saw was Duane being torn apart by walkers. I shot him in the head to put him out of his misery. It was horrible. I never saw if Morgan managed to get out but I really hope he did. I was on my own again then for another couple of months before I ran into my best friends. I hadn't seen them for about 5 days before this broke out. I thought they were dead so I was so happy when I found them. We've been surviving this thing together ever since. We don't have a camp so we just keep moving. Killing any walkers we come across and raiding shops and houses trying to find more food, weapons, water and clothes. Hopefully one day we'll find somewhere safer that we can settle down in for a while. That'll happen soon enough now. I hope.

➡️Hi guys☺️ This is my first fan fic so I know it's not very good but I promise you it will get better👌 I also know how short this chapter is but again, I promise they'll get longer. I do not own The walking dead but I do own the Charachters Layla Monroe, Lauryn Mooney, Eva west and Kate Sheehan so please do not steal them. This book is not going to be exactly the same as the TV series because the TV series does not have these charachters so I'm going to have to change and add in some stuff🌸 Other than that though it will be mostly the same👌 Anyways I hope you like this book and please vote and comment! X. ⬅️
