The Real Apocalypse ★ Chandler Riggs/The Walking Dead [Book I]

[3] Forgotten

<Caroline's POV>

The gates were opened and I couldn't stop smiling like a loon. Behind the gates stood a person I didn't know and Steven Yuen.

The sight of Steven made me smile even wider.

Chandler and I quickly came into the gates as a couple other people ran to kill walkers that were close to the gates. They came back in and the gates closed again.

Steven looked at funny for a second and then asked, "Who's this?"

"Caroline, but people call me Liny." I said, I acted a lot better than probably any other fangirl would.

Steven looked to Chandler. "Does she-"

"Yeah."

Woah, creepy.

"Steven." He said, smiling and extending his arm. I shook his hand firmly. I couldn't stop smiling. Steven then waved bye, and ran off someplace.

"This day couldn't turn out any better." I said.

"It could." Chandler said. I looked at him, confused, and said, "Really? How?"

And he was right. I met the whole rest of the cast, plus his brother, Grayson. They all greeted me nicely, as I greeted them the same as I did with Steven.

He told me I had to meet one more person, and I didn't know if I was tired of walking around the whole place, or excited that there was someone else.

When we did, I was too overwhelmed to speak anything. Or maybe the exact opposite.

I just couldn't shut up.

"DUDE, YOU TOLD ME NORMAN REEDUS WAS DEAD." I almost literally yelled in Chandler's ear, I couldn't help but laugh as he tried to walk away.

"What?" Norman said, laughing.

"I lied." Chandler yelled to us, turning around, but walking backwards.

"Why did you tell her I died?"

"What? Somebody from the main cast had to fake die."

"So it had to be me?"

"Yup. She believed me though."

"You're an idiot." I yelled to him, laughing.

I looked back to Norman, who was just smiling. I tried calmed myself down, and it worked, kinda.

"Okay, how about a better introduction." I said.

"Agreed." Norman said.

I nodded happily, and stuck out my hand. "I'm Caroline Baxter, I come from Pennsylvania, and I am a big fan of The Walking Dead."

He grabbed my hand and shook it. "I'm Norman Reedus, I come from Georgia, and I play Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead."

I laughed. "Well, how's that for starters." Norman said.

"Better than the one that happened 2 minutes ago."

"It'll probably get a lot better from here. Or worse depending how you see the world now."

Norman reminds me of an older brother, even if I just met him.

Older brother.

Brother.

Connor.

"Shit." I mumbled.

"What?" Norman asked, confused.

"Uh, I'll be back. Later." I said. "Seeya!"

I ran off, leaving Norman behind me. How could I have forgotten about Connor? I'M SUCH A HORRIBLE SISTER.

I found Chandler and grabbed him, before he knew what was happening, and I ran to the gates.

"What are we doing?" He asked.

"I forgot about my brother." I said.

"What?!"

"SOMEONE OPEN THE GATES!" I yelled, as we approached closer to the gates. (AN: LOL Frozen referance)

"When have you had a brother?"

"No time for questions. We have to go back to where you found me, and your the only one who knows the way back here anyway."

"Why couldn't have you just taken someone else?"

"I don't know. I knew you before anyone else here, so, adrenaline, I guess?"

"I hope this is worth it."

He better be.
