I ran not because I was afraid I'd get bitten- that had already happened, I ran as fast as I could into the horde of Walkers because Daryl was reloading his crossbow. If I didn't give the Undead something to chase after they would definitely go after him and if they managed to catch him it was game over. __________________________________________________________ Evelyn Mela has only known two things; the inside of the CDC and how to survive.

Still a natural story though so you don't need to know the show to know the story because I will introduce characters as if they were new, as well as parts of their story line which I will add onto. I do not own the characters or plot of The Walking Dead or the comic book series, only my characters and story I've built around theirs. Rated PG-13 for language, violence, gore, and adult situations.
