The Burning Valley

by Ryanista

When the outbreak finally shows its face, Dylan is caught offguard. He groups with other helpless survivors, who tell him about The Burning Valley, a sanctuary, a place of salvation. Will he make it there or will he die trying? This is set in the same universe as the TV series. Includes appearances from well known characters. I do not own any of the characters apart from my OCs...

The Burning Valley

Critiscism is very much appreciated!

"My name is Dylan Gallagher, I am 24 years old,"

Dylan held his hands to his head, trying to act as innocent as possible, three heavy armoured men held guns to his head, one was fat with a ginger beard, the other was bald with a small brown goatee, and the third one had brown dreadlocks.

"Please, you've got to let me in!" He cried, one of the guarded men laughed to himself, and then said "Don't shit yourself, we are just making sure you aren't going to try anything stupid."

One of the other guys put his arm out to Dylan, but he refused, getting himself up.

"We are going to ask you one important question," Said the third guard, he paused for a few seconds, then followed up with "Are you with anyone else?"

This was it.

Whatever the answer is, determines whether or not he gets salvation. A second chance. A better future.

When the outbreak came, Dylan was visiting family in Ohio. He went to see his two cousins, two days into his trip all hell went loose.

They grouped together with other survivors, but none of them knew how to protect themselves. One of them told him of The Burning Valley. A place full of intelligent people, who somehow knew that the apocalypse would come, it was a well protected place, a sanctuary for those who made it there.
