End of recap

Y/N POV
"Mom...?" I walk in quietly and look around...I watched a lot of zombie movies to know what to do, but it's more scary than I imagined it to be. I hear something behind me and see...."M-mommy?" My voice shakes as I see someone devouring my own mother. It looks at me and starts walking towards me I was in shock but I remembered one important rule. Never and I mean never stay in one place to long. Funny thing was I am going off of a show I love to watch. The Walking Dead. Best zombie show ever. But now is not the time to be thinking about that. I run to the kitchen grab the sharpest knife I could find and hide behind the only place that was easy to fit in.I wait for it to try and find me when it's back is turned, I go up and stab it in the head. I know it's no use to try and be nice to these and hope they would go back to normal.I know cause when I was running I saw it.I saw people run, hide, scream, and shout.But most of all die. They would fall and get back up. You cut them in the stomach guts come out but they still attack. You can't live if you run in fear I learned that from bullies. If I didn't fight for myself I would be a coward and always run. My best friend they are like that to. They run and run but never fight back. I always believe in that there is always good in even the nastiest people but somethings can't be avoided. Like death. It has been around since the beginning of man kind. But it does hurt no matter how many times it happens. So I go up to my mother who is still conscious and look at her wounds that's when I hear a car out front and yelling. " Y/N! Y/N!" I hear what sounds like Laurie yell!? I don't respond I look at my mother and I rest her head on my lap, tears streaming down my face more and more by the second. " M-Mommy...it's gonna be okay...I'll be okay, I prom-promise." I said crying nonstop. My mom was chocking on her words. " Y-Y/N ple-please help others...don't be ma-mad at what happened t-to me." She paused. "Be better tha-*cough cough*than the people around you are." And with that she finally stopped breathing.I held the knife shakily to her head afraid she was still alive. But I knew she wasn't and at the worst moment the two Grimes walk in to me stabbing my mother in her head. That's right I stabbed my own flesh and blood.I wasn't a monster. I knew that because I would never do that to a live and well human being. That would make me a monster and I am no monster. I would only injure people but I will never kill... my mother would never want that for me. So I got up whipped away the tears and looked at Carl and Laurie. I ran to Laurie and cried in her arms Shane walked in and saw my mother blood everywhere and me. I hated crying in front of people but this...this was an extremely reasonable time to cry. I was always smarter and braver than a lot of kids. Good grades in every- And I mean EVERY class I have or had. High IQ 115 it's a great IQ when your in third grade but not even that was enough to deal with this. "Y/N, hunny let's go pack some of your things so we can go. Carl help her and stay in the room till we tell you to come out."

Carl POV

I nodded and grabbed Y/N and walked to her room-it had her name on it so I already knew. "I want to grab the family picture." Y/N said looking down I heard something so I was about to grab the door knob and open the door until Y/N grabbed my hand away from the door and put the bloody knife in my palm. " What ever you do. Don't be scared to ask for help." Y/N said worried. I nodded and opened the door telling her to lock it, I heard her lock it and walked around a little avoiding windows and front door. That's when I made it to the kitchen...
