Ellie Walsh

My dad's week was finally over so I could go over to my mom's house. I don't like my dad for many reasons, like one of them was that he was too focused on the grime's family then his own. I am not hating on the grime's family; they are all in fact quite lovely people. I am quite good friends with their son, carl grimes. he is practically like my brother. I wish he cared for me more than them but i have gotten used to it. I heard his dad got shot a couple of weeks ago. Thats why my dad was not able to take me for a bit. I feel bad for carl since he is very sweet to me.

I was sitting on the couch at my mom's house while watching tv but all of a sudden, a breaking news came on. "Sweetie what happened?" I heard my mom call from the kitchen. "There is an announcement saying that a virus has broken out? and people are attacking each other!" I heard my mom walk over to me immediately. "Sweetie, I need you to lock all the doors and windows, ok?" I slowly nod confused. I start going around and locking the doors and windows. I went and over to my mother and see her trying to call someone. "Who are you calling mom?" she sighs and hangs up the phone. "Your father El but he won't answer the god damn phone." I nod feeling okay with that answer. I move the curtains away from the window and see someone running away from an ugly creature. I feel shocked come over me. 'What was that!' I move away from the window and think. 'What if me and mom have to leave! I should pack a bag.' I run upstairs to my room and grab by backpack, I put in Extra shirts and pants, a book, my secret gun dad gave me when i was little, socks, and a hairbrush. I put on my chain necklace that have carvings of both my parent's initials and put my dad's pocketknife in my pocket. I got back downstairs and see my mom packing stuff, "What are you doing mom?" She turns around and says, "oh, El we are going to get your father." I nod slightly confused why. I grab my other bag and fill it with canned food my mom wanted to keep. I finish and see my mom putting our stuff in the car. I put mine in to then get in the passenger seat.

We start driving and I see all the panic happening around me. I grip the necklaces tight knowing i must protect my mother and father. Even if I hated my dad, he was still my dad.' I hope he is safe' I think to myself as we drive around, and we park Infront of his house I see my mom getting unbuckled. "Stay in here El while I go talk to him." i smile and say, "yes mom." I get comfy and see my mom lock the car doors and go inside the house. I see more chaos happening, yet I see a creature coming up to my window. I get confused on why. It starts banging on the window. I duck down and hide. 'What do I do' all of a sudden, a gunshot went off. I slowly sat back up to see my mom! she was holding a pistol. She runs back to the car and gets in. "El are you ok?" I am still in shock so all I do is nod. "Where is dad?" She sighs and says, "The radio was saying how there was a safe place in Atlanta so that's probably where he went." I nod. I have only been to Atlanta once or twice, so I was a little excited. We started our drive.

We were around halfway there when the gas ran out. It was 10:57 so we decided to camp in the car for the night. I woke up a little chilly, so I put on the jacket that was tied around my waist. When my mom woke up, we grabbed out necessities and started out walk. On the way we would take a few stops for my mom to teacher me to stab a Biter. My mom found out the only way was for to aim for the brain. I had a little fun when practicing. The first biter we encountered was a lady wearing a dress and bare feet. My mom stepped back and said, "go ahead try what a taught you." I shakily grabbed my knife and waited for the woman to get closer. I chicken out a bit till the biter grabs my arms and I impulsively stab it in the head. I feel blood splatter on my cheek and wipe it with my sleeve. my mom smiles and speaks. "Good job El let's keep walking." I grab a can of pineapple and share the can with my mom as we walk. We notice the sun is setting. "Mom there's a treehouse." we head over to the treehouse and climb in. my mom sets out sleeping bags and we fall asleep.

We wake up again. I don't know why but I'm a little excited to see my dad. We finally make it there, but it destroyed. I felt tears in my eyes, I hope my father made it out. "What now mom?" I could tell my mom was a little sad but his it. "We should head home El" I nod knowing that will take days.

We started making it back to king county.

We finally made it back, but we see it is overrun by biters. I heard a lady calling us behind a tree. We silently go over and she explains that the whole town got bitten and all hid. "We can take you to our group" I nod yet my mom was a little iffy about this is plan of going with her, but I wanted to be safe there. We followed her either way. We stopped at this big place, I looked inside and it was very lively. I was excited for somewhere safe we can stay.

(time skip to S3)

Me and my mom have been living in the Base for around a year. There was a strange group of people that came in. One was injured and said he was "running with the group and cut his leg." I thought that was strange but ignored it. When one day everything turned to shit. I was braiding this little girl's hair. Her name was Anna. Me and her were quite close. Anyway, I just finished braiding her when I heard screaming. There was a woman tackled to the floor by the new guy. He bit her on the throat. I panicked and grabbed annas hand. I started running but there was chaos everywhere. We were running when anna fell. I ran back to help her up when a biter bit her on her forearm. I heard her blood curdling scream. I was shocked, I didn't know what to do. All of a sudden, I saw a bitter about to bite me. I feel myself be pulled back as I see my mom. The walker tackled her instead and bit her on her cheek. I felt tears welt up in my eyes as my mom slowly gets eaten in front of me. I hear her screaming for me to run. I finally listened and grabbed my backpack. I ran faster outside the front gate. Bitters were out there so I just ran as fast as I could. I ran probably around 2 miles when I sat down next to a tree. I took realization of all that happened. I started crying when I heard a biter. I stood up and took out my pocketknife. It slowly made its way to me as I felt myself get scared. It was about to grab me when I stabbed it in the head. I heard more biters so I continued running. After around another mile I decided to climb a tree. I got to a certain height and tied a rope between me and the tree so I wouldn't fall. The sun was setting, and I grabbed a ribbon I had got from anna just hours before her death. I pulled my hair back with the ribbon. 'I really am alone' I think to myself.
