Steal My Zombie Heart (Norman Reedus Love Story)

Chapter 1: First Day

Chapter 1: First Day

NEVAEH'S POV

I smiled as I walked onto the set of my favorite TV show, The Walking Dead. I was just hired as a new makeup artist for season six. I felt the hot Georgia sun beating down on me but I didn't care, I was so excited. I found the makeup trailer and walked in, seeing another girl in there already.

"Hi." I said, causing her to look up at me.

"Hi?"

"Oh, I'm Nevaeh. I'm the new makeup artist."

"I wondered who was going to be replacing Elizabeth. Nice to meet you, I'm Tzvia" She was very pretty. She had long, crimson hair and maroon colored eyes. She was pretty short, only about 5 feet and she was wearing black, ripped jeans with a black tank top.

When I was hired, I was told there was no dress code and I could wear whatever I wanted. Usually, I'm wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie, but since it was summer I was wearing a white tank top and black mid-thigh length shorts.

"That'll be your station over there." She said, pointing to an area on the other side of the table. It had a large vanity and a chair. I walked over and started setting out my stuff. I was going to be one of the artists doing the special effects makeup while Tzvia does the actors' makeup.

Once I was done setting up Tzvia and I sat around and talked, waiting for the actor's to come by. There was a knock on the door and we groaned, too lazy to get up.

"Come in!" Tzvia said. The door opened and Andrew Lincoln walked in.

"Sweet air conditioning." He said, closing the door behind him. "Tzvia! Great to see you again." He smiled, walking over to Tzvia and hugging her.

"Nice to see you Andrew." She said.

He then turned to face me. "I'm terribly sorry, I don't believe we've met before."

"I'm a new special effects artist, I'm Nevaeh."

"Nice to meet you." He smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." I said, doing as much as I could to hold in my fangirling. Tzvia and Andrew went over to her station so she could start getting him ready. There was another knock and I opened it to see someone I didn't recognize.

"Hi." I said.

"Hi, you must be new. I'm one of the zombies." The woman said.

"Oh, come on in." I said, stepping out of the way to let her in.

An hour later, I had met Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs and Melissa McBride. Right now, Lauren Cohan was getting her makeup done. The door opened and one of the producers walked in.

"Nevaeh, right?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am." I said.

"We're short a zombie. After you're done with him, we need you to go to the other makeup trailer and get transformed, alright? Come see me after you're a zombie." She said and left. Lauren Cohan left right after her and I continued what I was doing.

"Tzvia" Someone shouted as they walked into the trailer.

"Dammit Norman, I was just about to go get some food."

'I'm more important." He chuckled. "Who's that?" He asked. Even though my back was turned, I knew he was talking to me since I was the only other person, besides the zombie, in this trailer.

"That's Nevaeh. She's the new special effects artist." Tzvia explained. I heard footsteps walking towards me and saw the God that is Norman Reedus walking towards me.

"Hi, I'm-"

"I know who you are."I cut him off, my smile spreading across my face. I had hid my inner fangirl all day but I can't control it around Norman.

"Alright then." He chuckled. "Fan?"

"Absolutely." I said.

"Nevaeh, that's an interesting name...I like it."

"I like you- I mean, thank you." He just laughed.

"It's nice to meet you." He said, holding out his hand for me to shake.

"My hands are covered in zombie blood." I chuckled, showing my dirty hands from all the makeup.

"I'm always covered in zombie blood." He smirked.

"Touche." I said and shook his hand.

"Norman. Chair. Now."

"Oops, I made her mad." He chuckled. "I guess I'll see you around." He said, walking to the chair.

"Reedus, you're an idiot. You are literally less than five feet away from her."

"You are so mean to me! I have never done anything to you." Norman said. The next thing I heard was a slap and Norman exclaiming "Ow!"

"Sit still." She demanded. I enjoyed listening to their banter as she did his makeup. I finished with my zombie and walked out of the trailer. I went to the next one and walked in.

"Hi, I'm supposed to be getting special effect makeup."

"Come, sit down." One of the girls said. I sat in the chair and she started the process of getting me in makeup. I had to take out my snakebites and take off my tattoo choker. My pixie cut red hair was covered by a blonde, messy wig and my brown eyes were covered with white contacts.

After I was done, I got out of the chair and walked out of the trailer. I went to where the producers were and found the woman that talked to me. She explained to me what I was going to do and I just had to wait until they did my scene.

***

Finally, after thirty minutes, I was sent out and I was killed by Norman, or I guess I should say Daryl. My look was changed a few times as I was put in different scenes. Finally, the day was over and I went to the makeup trailer to get everything taken off.

I was sitting in the chair when someone walked in.

"Hey, I just like to personally apologize to all the walkers I kill." Norman said, walking up to me. My makeup artist turned me around to face him. He still had on his Daryl outfit.

"I don't think Daryl has remorse for killing walkers." I smirked.

"Nevaeh, is that you?" He asked.

"Yeah" I giggled.

"I thought you were an artist?" He asked as my artist continued to remove the zombie flesh from my face.

"They wanted me to stand in as a walker today. I should be back to strictly makeup tomorrow."

"Ah, okay. Anyway, sorry for shooting a crossbow into your skull."

"It's fine." He left to go change back into his normal clothes and once I was done getting de-zombiefied, I went to the parking lot. I got in my car and drove to the apartment I had rented out here while we were shooting for these few months.

I flopped onto my bed and groaned. I had so much fun that I didn't even mind the heat, even though I am soaked with sweat and feel disgusting. I took a shower and then went to bed, excited to go back and do it all over again tomorrow.
