It all started with a autograph. A Chandler Riggs fan fiction.

Episode three~ So this is the end!?

I can't let Rick or the rest of the group see this!! But how do I hide it!? It was far enough up my arm that maybe my shirt will cover it? Why did I choose now to be bite!!!!!

Act cool  Melissa! Rick was approaching me with a worried face.

" Hey you seem rather pale?" He stated as more of a question.

" No I am fine, I just don't really like zombies." I said saying half of the truth.

" I want you to meet some people." He says waving his hand to motion me to follow him.

" Okay, so this is Maggie, Glenn, and Sasha." He says pointing to a group of people talking.

" Okay right." I said kind of confused as the why he introduced me to them anyways.

Then I remembered about the bite all over again. My World has literally collapsed. I don't want to die, and I definitly do not want to be a walker!! I can't tell anybody just yet or they will shoot me for sure! For now I will keep it covered until I get too sick and can't continue this lie anymore.

I got out of my thoughts and I saw Rick kind of staring at me. I think he had just asked me a question?

" I am sorry what repeat that please. Sorry I didn't get much sleep." That wasn't a lie but that wasn't the reason why I was day dreaming though....

" I said so how are you liking it here so far?" By this he pointed to the tents.

" Oh yeah it's great. Nothing like the great outdoors filled with walkers!" I said trying to lighten the mood. Rick didn't seem to think it was quite as funny.

" Walkers are apart of our lives now and we need to learn to accept it and move on. The only thing we can do is kill them, and keep from becoming one of them." He said looking at me straight in the eyes.

" I hope when I die I won't be one of them." I said staring past Rick into a forest behind him.

" Did you not already know that the infection is already in us all? There is no way to aviod becoming a zombie when you die besides for shooting yourself in the head." He said sighing.

Carl decided to come over and talk to me, and Rick got up and left probably because he wanted to give Carl some privacy with somebody that is actually his age.

" Hey." He says squinting up at the sky to notice that it is soon to rain.

" Hi."  say rather more sadly than I intended it to be.

" Whats the matter?' He asked picking up on the sadness in my voice.

I know that I have to hide thise bite but I feel like I should tell Carl. I just feel like I trust him the most. Maybe he will know what to do?

" To tell you the truth nothing is okay. I... I um, well I sort of... kind of got bite... by a walker." I say looking to the ground.

Carl just froze like he was waiting for me to tell him that I was joking, I wish I was! I lifted up my sleeve and showed him the bite. I then broke down into tears.

" I don't want to die." I said crying.

Carl gathered me in a loose hug. I cried into his shoulder.

" I don't want to be one of them! I don't want to die!" I said sobbing even louder.

" I wish there was something I could do." He whispered.

" There isn't though." I said stopping to wipe some tears off of my cheek.

" I am really sorry Melissa but I HAVE to tell my dad this. We can't have you eating everybody in our camp." He said getting up to leave.

I gently grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.

" WAIT! One more thing! I want to be buried under a willow tree, if that isn't too much to ask." I said crying again.

" I will try my best." Chandler said not even trying to convience me that I won't die.

I looked at the sun and the clouds and the sky. Then I look at the grass and the rocks. I sighed a deep heavy sigh that hurt my chest. I sure will miss all of this! I leaned back and closed my eyes and wished I could just die peacefully right there. The next thing I know I hear Rick's pouding foot steps running towards me with a gun raised into the air. So this is the end?
