"They haven't come back yet!" I heard a young girl yell.

"They'll come."

That voice..

I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. I was laying on the floor inside a tent. I stood up slowly and left from the comfort of the blankets and pillows. I stepped outside and squinted in the light.

"Always the last one to wake up, huh?" Kathryn asked with a smirk.

"Just like always."  I looked over to see my dad. Tears formed in my eyes.

From behind him came out a boy of 17 with the same black hair and Callie.

"Dad... Ethan, Callie!" I ran up to them and hugged them tight. They did the same.

"Glad you found your little girls, Shane." A man with hazel hair said as he patted my dad's back.

The guy with the crossbow...

"This is Daryl." My dad said.

"Nice to meet ya." he looked at me with a sort of warm and inviting smile. I looked over to see everyone, alive. Then, I realised it....

Andrew...

His screams started to echo in my head. I looked over to Angel and Ivan who were colecting wood. Their expressions seemed okay, but their eyes said other wise. Vien, Tory, and Tony were talking with some other men while Delilah read a small book next to them.

I turned to see Kathryn staring at... Daryl? I looked at him a bit closer and noticed he looked around 20 or so. That wasn't far from Kathryn who's almost turning 19. I smirked at her when she noticed me. She blushed a bit and flipped me off. I chuckled a bit. I looked over to Tony and saw him roll his eyes with disgust.

"Mel, come walk with me. I'll introduce you." Ethan said with his usual goofy smile.

"Go." My dad said. He smiled at us as we left and went toward a lake. There were a few woman there washing laundry. I guess that's where my clean black crop top and black jean/ leggings came from. I looked like an assassin. My dad must have picked it out. He's always known what I liked.

Then I realised it... Who the hell changed me?

I looked down and noticed Casey and Alex talking with the women and helping out.

We came a bit closer and saw Carl along with...

"Lori?!" Carl and Lori looked at me. They both got up and we ran towards eachother. I hugged Lori tight and then hugged Carl.

"I'm so glad your okay!" Lori said. She looked at Carl. "Im glad you both are." We group hugged eachother and smiled at eachother.

"So, where's Rick?" I asked. Lori's face became dark.

"I'm so sorry." I hugged her once more and then put my hand on Carl's shoulder. I looked down to see him gripping my hand. I held his too.

Of course he didn't make it. He had fallen into a comna after being shot 6 months ago.

"Everyone is?" I asked. She was about to answer when we heard loud sirens. We ran up to see a red sports car pull up and an Asian man came out with a happy look on his face. Dad ran up to him in anger.

"What the hell are you doing Glenn?!" He scolded. He scolded "Glenn" on how he shouldn't do such irresponsible things and how he should think before he did. "I thought you guys were dead."

"Is my sister alive?" A blonde girl asked the Glenn.

"I think she is." Glenn replied.

The car was shut off and the sirens stopped.

"How did you guys survive?"

An rv then pulled up from behind the red sports car and Glenn gave my dad a smirk.

"The new guy saved us." Glenn said as the rv parked and a few men and a woman came out. The girl with blonde hair went towards the girl who came out of the rv and hugged her. I assumed it was her sister.

Carl stood next to me and stared at the rv. I looked in the same direction and became shocked.

"R-Rick!" I exclaimed.

Lori and Carl ran and hugged Rick, all three in tears. They hugged for a while and I walked up to them along with Callie and Ethan.

We all hugged eachother and laughter filled around us. Today is one sappy day.

"I'm so glad you guys are safe." Rick said as he squeezed us once more. I looked over to my dad who looked a bit uneasy. He smiled at Rick who smiled back at him. I looked to Lori who was now glaring at my dad and then went back to hugging her husband.

What was that?

"My brother?" Daryl asked. "Where's my brother."

"We need to talk."

~Time Skip~

"Run for it!" Rick yelled.

We slashed through a herd of walkers. They came at us with hunger in their eyes.

"Keep going!" My dad yelled.

"HARVEY!!" I turned to see Nikki and Harvey falling behind. Two walkers pinned Nikki to a gate while three lined up ontop of Harvey.

"Kathryn!" I yelled. We ran towards them. I slashed the heads off of the walkers on Harvey while Kathryn saved Nikki.

"Go!" I yelled. Harvey got up and we started to run towards a small hut.

Me and the others pushed the dresser and the bed infront of the door while Rick and Ivan held down the door.

"We have to get out of here." Rick said.

Way to say the obvious.

"Over here!" Ivan said. We followed him out a back door and ran for the forest.

"To the rv!" Rick yelled. We all jumped in.

"Go!" Dad yelled. We headed out, the other cars following us. Right now, our group is smaller than when we started with. Its been about two months or so since the outbreak.

The same week I found my dad and brother, walkers got to the campsite. We lost Carol's husband, Angel, Amy and many others. Harvey and Nikki are siblings we found during our trip here. The only survivers we are me, Kathryn, Carl, Rick, Lori, my dad, Ethan, Callie, Glenn, Andrea, and Nikki, Harvey, Carol, Daryl, Sophia, and Dale.

Atlanta was a dead end. Right now, we were just looking for a place to survive.

We'll make it and, when we do, I hope all of us will be there to share it. I looked over to my dad. He was lost in space as he stared out the window.

I looked over to Kathryn who was having a conversation with Tony and Ivan. I went over to them.

"We need to kill her." Kathryn said.

"Kill who?" I asked they looked over to me with panick in their eyes.

What's going on?
