Prologue
I walk the back alleys of Marshall, tears dry against my face, thinking of Markus, and the others. How none of it had to happen, we all could have walked away, if only Lily hadn't stabbed the woman. I sat against a brick wall with a chain-link fence in front of me. I take off the small duffle bag from my back and unbutton it, inside I saw a hatchet, a pistol with 5 boxes of ammo, a drawing of me, Markus, Lily, Sherriff, Ed, Williams, Milik, and Maya. At the bottom I saw something that made me gasp in relief, Markus's orange vest that he gave me. I took it out of the bag and hugged it, crying. "Why Markus, Why?" I cried into the vest.
Chapter 1
I awoke from a light sleep, it was dark but I could hear from the fence in front of me the clank of something against it. It was a walker, it was the walker of Sheriff Jones. Dry blood coming from the gunshot in his neck, eyes a silvery grey, his skin so pale. I walked over to him and put a bullet into his head, but then I saw a herd of walkers coming towards me through the alley. I grabbed everything and sprinted away, when I turned the corner I bumped into a man. Young, skinny figure, brownish leather jacket with a black shirt under it, a machete on his back, and a gun belt around his waist. "Come on!" He yelled after a moments hesitation. We ran to a black truck and drove off. The herd chased us but we were out of Marshall within an hour.
Chapter 2
"Thanks for saving me." I said to the man to make the awkward silence go away. "Your lucky I was there, I was leaving a workshop after I heard gunshots, know anything about that?" "Yes I do." I thought back to Lily and Markus, how they saved me that night at my house, and how I could have stopped him from dying. "It was my group who was shot, by the people in the government building. Lily, Markus-" I was interrupted immediately. "Lily? What was her last name?" He said loudly. "Ritter." The car slammed to a halt, I went forward and hit my head on the dash. "Fuck!" He screamed. "What's wrong?" I yelled fearfully. "Lily Ritter........is my sister."
Chapter 3
He was sitting on a porch of an empty house crying. I finally got out of the truck and walked over to him, he was poking his machete into the steps making a thump noise. "I'm sorry about your sister." I said looking down. "Is my dad dead to?" He asks. "I don't know, I wasn't with them the whole time, I just know that everyone in my group is dead now." "Well it's getting dark, and since you don't have anywhere else to go I'm guessing I should bring you back to the Wilkerson's with me." "Who are the Wilkersons?" I ask. "I'll explain on the way." He says walking to the truck.
Chapter 4
"There rednecks, they live way out in the country or as Lily used to say, desert parts of Marshall. Mac Wilkerson, he's the main group leader of it all, keeps the peace. Rodney Wilkerson, the middle boy, he's the smart one of the family. Sadie Wilkerson, she's my girl, she's the only girl in there family, but my family didn't like me hanging around with them. Then there's Parker Wilkerson, he's the youngest, he's also my best friend. He's had problems these last few days so we got someone down here to look at him." He said before the radio came on and Mac spoke. "We got a survivor from Marshall that Sadie brought back, he's in bad shape, I'd hurry." When we got to the house I was shocked, the two story house was big but it looked demolished, like it would collapse any second now. The inside was okay, there was a tree blocked the back entrance. "Everyone say hello, this is Clementine, I found her running from a hug herd of them." A few hours later after I got settled in I walked upstairs where I saw a medical area, then I cried and gasped. "Clementine?" Said a man pushing through the Wilkerson crowded around him. "Pastor Williams, I thought you were dead!" I screamed.
