The moon was peeking out from the trees, hardly giving any light which I was thankful for. I looked back at the water, red eyes stared back at me, almost tauntingly. I growled in anger and quickly turned away before heading off into the woods to get back to the Stronghold.

I watched the NightStalker with interest, if she could actually smell my scent and realize what I was I would be impressed. If not, it was to be expected, even with her enchanted scent of smell it would be nearly impossible to distinguish me from the humans.

Avery Morter is 15 years old and trying to survive the apocalypse with only a fox, a secret home, and her powers as a zombie. Yes, she is a zombie, and no, she doesn't run after humans and try to eat them. In fact, she tries to stay as far away from them as possible. The funny thing is that her plan completely goes down hill when she accidentally befriends four come play different humans and a zombie and needs to bring them all the way back to their stronghold.

Season 4 of The Virus Within
Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again.
When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
