Be sure to read See You Again first!

"Walkers! A whole herd of 'em coming over the hill!" Beth shouts, her southern accent leaking through. She moves swiftly out of the school drop off center on watch, clearly surprised.

I wasn't surprised. I guessed they would be moving on from the prison once they found little food. We had been at the school for a little over a week. You could say I was on edge while everyone else was getting comfy. I don't know how they could after we lost the prison. I knew our shelter wouldn't last long anyways. Everything beautiful is destroyed sooner or later. And anywhere safe is beautiful in an apocalypse.

I was still on edge about that man in the cafeteria. I don't remember his name. I would if I heard it, or maybe even saw his devilish grin. I wouldn't dream of that day though. I could tell he was trouble. And still no one believed me.

I quickly and sloppily stuff things in my army bag. I toss the bag on my shoulder, taking a look around. Everyone-as in Beth, Dad, Rick, Carl, and Michonne-was gathered in the hallway talking.

"2 minutes or so!" I hear Beth's small voice say.

"We need a way out,"

"They're gathering at the front entrance,"

"Someone hold the doors closed,"

Everyone's statements filled my head as I frantically looked around.

I had an escape route planned. Had since we got here.

1) Tell the others to get to the roof.
2) Act like you're going with them.

Because they would never let me do what I'll do next.

3) Be the distraction.

I would save this group in a heart beat. They were my family. I loved them. If it meant giving my life for them, I would. And I was.

I grab the back of Ricks jacket as he goes to hold the doors closed. I get in front of him and take the hand-axe out of my bag, sticking it through the double doors as a lock.

"Everyone get to the roof. There's an escape ladder at the back of the school. Shouldn't be that hard to find." I state as the wooden axe begins to crack. Pulling the beaten and worn kitchen knife out of my pocket, I push Michonnes back towards the stairs as everyone follows. I hold the door open and they pile up the stairs.

"I'll see you again guys." I say quietly, Shutting the door and slipping the knife through it.

You could hear the loud cracks of the axe as it breaks in two. I swallow a big lump in my throat and pull my pistol out, aiming at the first walker, limping towards me. I let the bullet go, piercing it's forehead. I continue to shoot them, until I hear a familiar clicking.

No. Fucking. Ammo.

I clench my teeth together, forcing my pistol into my back pocket and pulling out my hunting knife.

I turn on my heels, running at the nearest Exit. I pull the heavy iron door open and shut it quickly, turning and putting my back against it, pushing it closed.

I suddenly notice the sweat trickling down my face and arms. Am I really this nervous? My bangs were matted to my forehead and the side of my face. It's not even hot outside. I could see my breath, it defiantly isn't hot. My camouflage jacket squeezed my torso perfectly, keeping my warm. My ripped skinny jeans weren't the best though. A hard push on the other side of the door pushes me to the ground, dust flying up around me.

I breath heavily, searching my pockets for my knife. "Fuck." I breathe, seeing it as it's trampled by the feet of the undead. I let out a shaky breath, pulling my empty pistol out of my back pocket.

I Push myself up off the floor and back up as the walkers desperately reach for me. I put my combat boot on the walkers chest, pushing forcefully, as it falls back on the others, only stalling the flesh eaters for a few seconds.

I search around frantically. I was outside now. The birds chirped happily, oblivious to the cruel world we live in. They probably have it better now anyways.

They make me sick.

I turn on my heals, running as fast as I can into the woods, dodging the tall pine trees.

I was reading through See You Again and was like "Wow I was writing horribly. There's so many errors. Now I feel like shit" so I just want to apologize for horrible writing at the beginning of See You Again. I hope it's not that bad anymore. So could you guys please tell me if it is? Thanks. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

**I want you all to realize that for the most part of this book it will be focusing on survival. Once shes learned how to survive and deal with real world problems there will be for Cailynn action.** (I hope yall understand)
