Nobody expected it to happen. The government didn't, the army didn't, the scientists, the doctors – it took the people by surprise. First, it was just a few cases, but ever since, the majority of the population is either dead or turned. Ever since her parents left her on the highway, Josephine was wandering through the states, taking everything she needed from houses, stores, cars. She never met any people, until one day she runs into an intimidating man, offering her a place to stay for over the night. Feeling insecure, she's giving in. It's the best she could do, right? Following the group for a few miles, she learns that being in with people together is the best option to survive. As Josephine starts to warm up, her misery fades away, slowly. Being a loner these days is not recommended. - That's Carl's favourite line, whenever he feels like Josephine wants to leave. Yet Rick and Carol figured out that the girl is important for Carl, and the day she'll leave or die is the day where Carl won't be dead or alive, resulting from his desperation to find out who she really is. And right after they seem to find hope in a dangerous world, a family reunites and a difficult decision is to be made.

Please don't comment about missing characters or subjects or anything like that as this here is a FANFICTION]
