'Unlikely Heroes' :The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon

CH1 : "Real NewYorkers"

 Nico groaned to herself feeling her stomach kick and scream , her and Doc have been running low on food - the travel has taken alot out of them and they were already too low on travel supplies.  It has been a long travel for our heroes , at this point too long to recount . The end of the world , this apocalyptic mess has been going   on for months now .

The big outbreak happened  just under a month ago itself , those in larger cities got hit first . Before you knew it  New York fell and so did Washington . The capitals of  countries doped 'dead' one by one , the world taken by the zombie virus , not that anyone knew what a zombie was . This was something noone was ready for , not even the craziest rednecks saw this coming . 

Our heroes themselves come from a long way,  for many it was a migration that wasn't possible anymore: making it  from the North was a legend now a days - much like a healthy immune system. Now that those things outnumbered the living 5,000 to one every journey and every life seemed like a grand story on the worlds canvas.

" You ok kid?" asked the older gentle man , worried over his companion.

The girl hasn't eaten in days now , she may have been rough on the outside but she had a good heart , that was at times  hard to cozy to. She has been making sure that Doc was getting the food he needed , lying about her own intake . " Yeah I'm fine Doc , we got to make base camp , we are almost at the Atlanta base , who knows maybe there are some suckers out there after all!"she said with a grin . The two of them had been long on the road - ever since the start of this god dammed apocalyptic hell that has overtaken the population and even before that. I guess being paranoid does pay of? And they said they were crazy!

Nic's attention turned into the woods ,  at this point everything seemed the same .Ever since they  drove into the Southern states there had been alot of woodland on their way ,  if only Nico had a dime for every tree she saw she'd be swimming them . Not like she didn't like the woods , she loved  the peace , the calming waves , the fact that they could probably die and get eaten by something darting from behind a tree. About as zen as you can get.

  "We should make camp, maybe I can hunt us somethin' to eat !"said Nic , her eyes darting into different direction - looking out for any signs of the undead . Her eyes scanned the area  that was just as dead as everything around them . Soon enough she saw some skid marks around the ground, passing by a crashed car, with noone inside . Her shoulders shrugged : 'eh' was the only possible  sound she could make. The apocalypse hits and suddenly no one can drive anymore?

"Doesn't look like there are many Z's out here!" said Doc, kicking back in the seat . Z's is what they called them - the term Zombie wasn't something many people were familiar with . The only thing this world really knew about Zombies were the vodooo rituals performed in legends : the dead rising - walking among the living and doing the bidding of those who zombified them . Ofcourse that was just a superstition, a fairy tale and this was life. Nico never took a second glance at the situation - never doughing it - never hesitated : it was almost like she waited and prayed for this day to come. She was now living in a world that was meant for her  and not the world that constantly rejected her.

Nico was snapped out of her though when she saw a Z on the road ,dragging his left foot, her lips formed into a grin as she turned the steering wheel to knock it down - a laughter echoed in the car " one thousand and thirty ,nice! "said Doc , patting the girls shoulder , making her chuckle also.  That definitely looked like the driver for that car : / Oh well, better luck in the next time/ Nico said to herself. They developed a tad bit of a sick humour when it came to these things. Her eyes darted to the old man , a warm feeling washed over her : Earl was all she had and she was thankful she had him- the two of them have been working together for a good 5-6 years: too long. This has been like a game for them, mauling down the Z's one by one - it had to have something in it , whats the point of deathly fear at this stage. Nico spotted a perfect location : she drove the Jeep from the road into a secluded little hiding spot she noticed , she jumped out the car, trying to keep it down in case any 'silent' ones were around .
