**Season One Episode One Part One**

May 12th - Year 03 A.Z.-Upstate New York

In a small camp in upstate New York there were a few men and woman gathered in a small room, four girls were standing in a row each holding a candle in a glass and they were singing "Beautiful, beautiful river, father with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of god" Once the song came to an end a man with dark hair and dark eyes and a women with brown shoulder length hair stepped forward a mug in each of their hands.

"To Nana Griswold" the man said raising his mug and taking a sip "a true survivor" the other people in the room also drank. "Not many grandmother's left these days... Especially as old as Nana was...How old was she?" he asked the woman next to him

"63"

"Wow, that's old" he chuckled

"64, and I'm not dead yet" came a annoyed voice, to which everyone else chuckled. Nana was led in a large bed in the back of the room, coughing she said sadly "But I think it's time".

As she said this the brown haired woman walked forward and over to Nana's bed before taking her hand in hers and kissing her softly on her head, and Nana responded by smiling sadly at her.
The woman looked up towards the other people in the room before saying "you can all go now"
The people in the room all smiled at her and slowly made their way out of the room leaving her and two other woman who were quietly observing from the back.

The first woman had long blonde hair pulled into a high pony tail with piercing green eyes. She was wearing jeans, top, jacket and boots with a gun strapped to her hip and a knife strapped to her thigh and the second woman had long black hair pulled into two braids and dark brown eyes who was also wearing a jacket, top, jeans and boots. They both started to walk forward and the woman standing by the bed stepped forward to meet them halfway.
"Do you have her special?" The dark-haired woman asked her, and the woman nodded before handing her a handkerchief with a bullet inside. Taking it, the dark-haired woman then took the women's hand into hers, giving it a gentle squeeze before saying sadly. "I'll take it from here" The woman looks up at her and then to the blonde woman and nods, but seeing her hesitate the blonde haired woman takes her other hand "It'll be quick and we'll make it as painless as possible" she reassured her with a hint of a Welsh accent coming through. Nodding again the woman smiled softly at them before dropping their hands and she slowly made her way out of the room.

Once they heard the front door shut, the two woman looked at each other dreading the thought of what they were about to do, sadness was etched across their faces. "You can wait outside if you want Ellie" the dark haired woman said to the other one seeing hesitation in her eyes.

"No, I'm OK Warren" Ellie said shaking her head softly, tears glistening in her eyes. "I want to be here for her, it's just...it's hard to say goodbye" she looks up at Warren who smiles sadly at her.

"I know" she says taking Ellie's hand into hers. "But it's for the best" she says placing her other hand on top of the hand she was currently holding and taping it gently before lifting it up to her lips and placing a kiss on her hand, like a caring mother would do when comforting their child. "Come on".

Walking towards the bed where Nana was waiting patiently for them, Ellie walked one side of the bed and sat down and Warren walked to the other side but stayed standing
