I wake up and sees Zoey sitting up on her bed, and I sit up and look at her.

"Hey, Zoey, you okay?" I say quietly and she looks at me, her fiery red hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Just thinking." She replies, still a bit distant.

"So, how did everybody end up together? Like, were all of you already together." I say and she blinks, and faces me.

For the first time, I get a good look at Zoey. She has fiery red hair, with some brown mixed in. She wears some black jean shorts, a white t-shirt and a black jacket over that. But the most interesting thing is the mushroom necklace she's got on.

"Well, I guess we've got some time, so I'll tell you every bodies stories. I guess I'll start with mine." She says and I nod.

{Zoey's p.o.v.}

"Well, I didn't know anybody in this group, but I had a few people with me, but they didn't stick with me long. Their names are Sips and Sjin. Pretty much, we ran out of our little town and headed north. Then, my friend Teep died, and Sips and Sjin ran when they thought I was dead. Then I met Rythian, and he brought me back here. I was the first one here besides Lewis, Rythian, a poor guy named Simon, and Ridge. Then, Sips and Sjin came and tried to attack, but froze when they saw me. They told me to come with them and I said no, and then they left. Then eventually, Duncan and Martyn showed up, and then we found you." I say and Hannah nods, and blinks at me.

She lays back down and falls asleep, and I think about how they found me, and how everything happened.

-flashback-

I walk next to Sips and Sjin, and Teep walks in front of, his bow held in front of him.

"Zombies! A whole hoard of them!" Teep suddenly screams and I pull out my sword, and holds it in front of me, fear written clearly across my face.

"Teep! No! Guys, come on we have to help him!" I scream as Teep gets overwhelmed by some zombies and Sips and Sjin just stand there.

I race forwards and slashes at zombies with my sword, and I cry out as I stumble and falls into a river, and I see Teep get bitten and Sjin shoots him with no hesitation.

"Guys! Help me!" I yell as they just stare and run off, and I pull myself out of the river, and sits down, huddled up at the bottom of a tree, and sees that I've twisted up my leg.

I lean my head back and lets a few tears slip down my face, and anger boils inside of me, at Sjin, at Sips, and at myself.

I hear something in the woods right next to me and I pull out my sword, and I stand, and winces once in pain.

A boy around seventeen steps out and I lower my sword, but only a little.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" He asks and I see that he has a gun in his pocket, and he holds a knife.

"I'm Zoey, and as to how I ended up here, that's none of your business mister." I say, and he smirks slightly.

"Ok then. I'm Rythian, and I live with a small group of people a little ways from here. Want to come back with me? You obviously need some help." He offers and I put my sword back in my bag and nods slowly, and walks up next to him.

He leads me back, and we both ask the occasional question but stay pretty quiet.

I walk into his little camp after him and a black haired guy and a lighter haired guy walk over swiftly.

"Uh, Rythian, who's this?" The black haired guy asks and he blinks, and I nod to the two guys.

"This is Zoey. She kinda got betrayed and crap, so I said she could stick around with us for a while." Rythian replies and the two nod.

"Fair enough. I'm Lewis." The man says and I nod.

"Ridge." The other guy says and I smile and we all get to know each other.

-flashback end-

I sigh and falls asleep, my ponytail messed up, and my mind wanders to what Sips and Sjin might be up to right now.

A/N- I felt the need to put how Zoey had gotten into the group, cause she's gonna be important, as well as Rythian.

So yeah. I'll write a little side fanfic saying how each person met, and how the group was really formed.
