This Is The End (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1: Days Gone By

Ever since the outbreak, I have changed. I have transformed into this new person. Before, I was a girl who wouldn't go near a knife. Now, I am a fierce girl who would do anything to survive. Everyone has changed, even if we want to be how we used to be.

We all have that person in our hearts, just in case our lives go back to normal. Then again, who knows if it will. Who knows if this has become our normal daily lives. Sure, I miss having a life where I could yell for a butler to make me lemonade, but this is our new reality. This "thing" has helped me realize how hard life is.

My name is Ellie Walkers. I am now 15 years old. Last week was my birthday. It's funny, my last name is what we call the dead.

The dead have started roaming. I know, you think they are like zombies or whatever, but it's not even close to your make-believe horror movies. We call them walkers, because they walk ALL FRICKIN' NIGHT AND DAY. It sucks.

I wasn't prepared for this at all. I'll admit it, I was a rich spoiled brat. Yes, I am definitely prepared now. But before, I wasn't even close to prepared.

But I still mourn my mothers death. My mother died in the very beginning of the apocalypse, when everything was easy. Not too many walkers, not too hard to survive. My mother died in her sleep when a walker bit her in the neck, causing her to catch the disease. We were forced to kill her.

I count the days, and so far it's been a year or so. I hope it ends soon, because I am tired of living like this. All we do is camp for the night, wake up early and get food, move shelter, build shelter, then camp again. It goes on and on.

In my group, so far 11 people have died- including my mother- which isn't a lot, considering how many walkers I have killed in the past week.

But before we get into my life now, let's start from the very beginning...
