Hello there! This is the first fanfiction I have ever written let alone the first Walking Dead one! I posted a short introduction to the story to see what the reaction would be and whether or not to continue to write this story. Please leave your opinons in the reviews and I hope to see you guys soon with a even longer chapter (which I've already started).

Farewell!

It's funny how seven little words can dramatically change your life and reduce your chances of ever seeing your loved ones again.

"The dead are coming back to life."

An endless game of hide and seek would ensue. You couldn't stop for one second or you would be in danger. You had to keep moving or you end up as food for the corpses.

Gone. Just like that. Your flesh would be stripped to the bone then it would be like you never existed.

Eaten alive by rotting corpses never to see your family again.

My parents weren't quick enough; no one would've been quick enough to fight off those things. They appeared out of nowhere and they took my parents away from me and Melody. They ripped the flesh off their bodies and simply devoured it without hesitation. They deserved the hammer to the head for taking away the only mother and father I had ever known and ever wanted me. I would never breathe in their homely addictive scent again while they soothed me. Their comforting arms now torn and ripped apart at the hands of those things.

I don't even recognise myself anymore. My grey eyes which once held happiness and light are just as depressing as a storm. The ones where the rain wouldn't howl, it would scream and bang against the roof terrifying the children. The rage of the wind would cut the electricity leaving you with no TV, signal and a way to get help. A night stranded in an unfamiliar hotel in the middle of a storm would be better than this nightmare, even with my phobia. At least I would get a better night's sleep.

The only family I have left now is Melody. Biological sister or not I would not hesitate to throw myself in front of a corpse to save her. She's the only reason why I keep going as well as being my purpose in life...keeping her alive above everything else. That red-headed fool brought me back from the darkness and I don't intend on going back there anytime soon.

But for now we simply move from one place to the next, never stopping...just surviving. Two sisters on the run...from fleshing eating corpses.
