Authors Note: hello everyone this is my first fanfic and I am a bit excited about it. I am hoping that I can make this story interesting enough to read. The first chapter has a lot going on with discriptions, but after that the following chapters should be pretty long, and move fast. Twilight got me into fanfiction and now I am exploring other stories like The Walking dead. I thought it would be kind of interesting to combine them both; the Twilight characters and The Walking Dead theme. I hope you enjoy. Please review I appreciate any type of constructive criticism.

Disclaimer: I own nothing Twilight or The Walking dead

CHAPTER 1

WAL-MART

MAY 5, 2013

EPOV

It hurt my heart to think that these bodies lying here in an abandoned parking lot were once people like me and my crew. They at one point in time had families and lives of their own. Worried about bills, birthday parties and whether or not they would make it to work on time. Now all that was left was their rotting corpses and blood. It also bothered me that there was nothing that my crew and I could do for them. We could not rewind time and find out their last moments or even give them a proper burial. There was too much at stake to take the time to do that.

In this day and time there was just, survival; kill or be killed; steal, scavenge, and raid or die, because, in October 2009, a deadly virus swept over the county. At first I just continued to go to college and hang out with friends; thinking that it was just a rare disease effecting one part of the country and the human race and others would get over it in time. But when the virus hit my college; leaving all those in its wake either dead or the walking dead; I ran. Now there is no time for rainbows and butterflies and lying in bed all day. You had to get up and literally find something to eat or die.

I was currently standing on the side entrance to an abandon Wal-Mart, hiding in the shadows but still keeping a lookout. I could see the heat waves rising off the abandoned parking lot. There were just a few shopping carts and cars scattered around. And a dozen or so bodies lying on the ground all of them beaten, battered, and half mauled.

Looking at those bodies just put me on edge even more. I made sure that our asses were covered at all times. But doing so meant that you had to trust and share the load. I didn't mind doing that with Jasper, Liam, and Tyler. They were my right hand men so to speak and I had each man on an entrance.

Jasper was my alpha team leader because he always had my back. I knew that if something ever happened to me he would take charge of the group and watch over my little sister Alice. Not just because she was my little sister and they grew up together, but because he was in love with her. They kept the relationship quiet, but I could tell. How a little pixie like her fell for someone so tall was hilarious to me. Jasper was about 6'1" blonde hair that he just cut off the other day, sort of a buzz cut, blue eyes, pointed chin and a major tan going on these days. But he still had a boyish charm about him. He was care free half the time except on raids or mission; that's when all seriousness broke out. We grew up together and decided to go to the same college. Right now he was covering our asses by watching the back door and our rides.

When the infection broke out, Liam my beta team leader, who had dark brown hair, hazel eyes and is 5'10" friend tagged along, because he had no family to begin with. Liam was hyper in college. You couldn't get him to stop anything he set his mind too and he always had to be doing something. I'm glad to say over the past three years that hasn't changed much. Whenever I do the overnight look out he's right there with me pushing him self past the point exhaustion. Always trying to stay alert and keep up with everyone. I had him on the pharmacy/ garden center entrance. That was a hot spot to me that needed some, finesse, someone who could fight, but not draw more attention to us.

That is exactly why I had James my trigger happy, military friend on the roof watching all sides, periodically and Tyler, my gamma team leader, on the less hazardous door. Tyler is 18 now. Even though he has and been through a lot he was a bit jumpy. But I trusted the scrawny little, bald headed punk with my life for the past three years.

The rest of our crew was broken into three teams, governed by my best men. If anything went wrong a warning would be shot to me and I would send every man in to get their team out. Let hope it doesn't come to that. Right now I had a military man with each crew inside. Alice was inside raiding the grocery end with Mike Newton, a 12 year old that we found 2 years ago, Samantha, his dog, and Demetri Dixon a marine. They were by far the quickest and quietest people that we had. Food being a top priority I needed that done. They were commanded by Jasper. Marcus a military medic was raiding the pharmacy with Leah. Her little brother knows the land and how to hunt so I sent him to sporting goods to get supplies. Since those supplies are usually heavy I thought it better to send him and Cais Mitchell, a high school teacher that was traveling with the military men.

Everything was eerily quiet outside, which didn't bother me anymore. I would rather hear silence than any other sound. I didn't care if it was a pin drop or a car door slam. Noise meant Walkers would hear and come lurking around for food, us. And that usually meant one of my crew in danger or dead. The only thing I heard was the faint sound of squeaky shopping cart wheels going through the store.

Reaching into my pocket I pulled out a liter and half a pack of cigarettes. I flipped one into my mouth and lit it; inhaling as much as I could to help relax my nerves. I was looking to my left at a Pep Boys Garage; thinking I could probably salvage some oil for our cars or something; when a bright orange flash caught my eye to the right. I immediately picked up my radio from my hip and buzzed in. I couldn't hear anything but static. KRRRRR KRRRRR. "Eagle eye this is Masen what do you see on my end? Over."

My hand vibrated back "Edward…krrrr… I see so… krrrr… ke.. direction."

I dropped my cigarette on the ground and picked up my radio. "James, repeat." Nothing. "Repeat. Repeat." I whispered ecstatically.

"Smoke coming in your direction… krrrrrrr… looks like a car is on fire or something…Krrrrr… I can't tell."

DAMN IT; Just what we need right now. There no such thing as a good day anymore. "Edward to all teams; load up what we have right now and get the hell out of the store. We got a possible herd coming through in about five minutes maybe ten; over. I repeat, get what you can and get out. Possible herd coming through in five minutes; Respond." I raised my binoculars up and searched the street for what James was talking about; while waiting for my team to respond back.

Then one by one they responded. "Alpha team, on my way in to get the others. over." "Beta Team got it." "Gamma Team, ten, four." Five minutes went by and that's when I saw the car on the street heading straight for us. Shit, we need to leave, now! I reached for my radio again. "James I want you covering the back door make sure our paths to the cars stay clear; over.

"Ten. Four. I'm worried about your side though there are a lot of walkers behind that car. It won't take long for them to catch up."

The car was on fire and it was barreling out of control as it got closer. I thought for a second that I might hit something else, and draw the zeds, but we had no such luck. "Edward to all points; we got incoming. EVERYONE GET OUT."

Beta and Gamma team responded back. But before I could radio the alpha team a dog barked on the other side of the store, distracting me. Then the car came crashing in the front entrance. There was bent metal and shattered glass everywhere along with gold and silver rings. The car had went through the jewelry counter. Sparks flew from the dark green Camry as I cautiously approached it; trying to get a good look inside. This car had been through the ringer. Tires were balled; hub caps had fallen off, the windshield was cracked, paint had been scratched, doors dented, and there was blood, mud everywhere.

BANG! I spun around toward the grocery end of the store and drew my side arm at the same time. It was an automatic response, as my eyes searched for the cause of the gun shot. But I didn't see anything coming towards. My heart was thumping so hard I thought it would break my chest. Then right when I thought it couldn't get scarier.

BAM! I spun back around toward the car with my weapon drawn; to see a bloody hand smacking the passenger window. I ran up to the car that had just brought hell upon us and looked inside to find a red headed woman fumbling with the door handle.

"James to Edward; over."

"Go head."

"There are a lot of Walkers coming out man. They'll be here soon."

"Cover the others and see what's up with Alpha Team. Over"

"Ten four"

The driver was passed out and with a cut on his four head. The girl kept looking in the back seat. "Cover your eyes." I commanded. I took the butt of the gun and broke the window. I reached in and grabbed her by her shoulders and dragged her out of the window just as Jasper, Liam, Demetri and Alice arrived.

"Help them please!" The red head cried.

I looked at Jasper, "Did the rest make it out? What were the shots about?" I asked as I went over to the other side and yanked on the door until it popped open.

"Everyone made it. A few zeds were crawling around scared Samantha. Alice put them down. She didn't think."

I sighed disapprovingly; the gun shot would draw walkers, but it didn't matter now, because we just had a cosmic car crash ringing the dinner bell. We dragged the driver out of the car and were working on the back door to get the back seat person out. We looked up when we heard glass from the front of the store cracking. Walkers were getting closer. GREAT! "Liam, Demetri get the driver out of here." I looked at the girl on the floor before us, "You follow them and don't try anything. Alice, follow her and make sure nothing happens."

I ended up breaking the window to the back seat and dragging the guy out as Jasper covered me. I checked his pulse and picked him up. "Come on, wedge him between us, lets go."

"Edward man, leave him; more are coming and he is slowing us down."

And boy, were they; their stench was overpowering and enough to make you pass out. But we kept going with the man's arms around our necks. I could see the walkers rotting face now; some of which had their eye balls hanging out; others had a filmy glassy haze to them. Most had chunks of their flesh missing from their necks and arms and scratches all over their bodies; their vital organs on display through their tattered clothes.

I readjusted his arm around my neck as I huffed back, "No one left behind, remember?" We went through the black double doors that were meant for employees so we could get to the back door. As we approached the back door it flew open to reveal Liam splashed in blood. "What the hell." I yelled.

"A few zeds are coming from surrounding stores. Sam got scared and went back in the building when we came out. Alice went back for her."

"Liam, get this guy." I command. I didn't wait for him to respond as I dropped the guy. I looked Jasper dead in the eye. "Get on the truck and go. Alice and I will catch up. If we don't find you in three days go without us!"

"Edward, wait!"

"This isn't up for debate. I know you care for her, but I need you to look after them for me." Jasper was hurt and twisted up about the choice before him. "You're wasting time. I could have her by now. "

His eyes got big with that realization, before angrily replying. "Yes sir" he passed me his side arm. "You're gonna need it. Bring. Her. back." His voice almost broke as he put his life in my hands.

I turned on my heels and went back in the building. I made it to the black double doors for employees again. It was only a couple of yards. I peered through the thick plastic window it had carved out in the center of the door. There were dry cracked blood stains on it. A group of five or so walkers were coming straight for me. I would need to make a move soon. But I had no idea where Alice and Sam were. I can't believe she went back for a dog of all things. Hell! food I could understand. Just as that thought crossed my mind I saw the German Sheppard running toward the garden center with a short, little Alice hot on her tails.

I busted out of door and chased after them. Letting the zeds follow us. "Keep running Alice, I sent the other on. We're on our own." I called. We were coming up on electronics section. I saw one of our duffle bags on the ground. Hoping there might be some weapons in it, I swooped down and picked it up as I ran by; tossing it up and over my shoulder. At the other end of the store we hid behind a huge plant in a gated lawn a garden section. The green cloth that usually surrounded the fence had been ripped down from natural wear and tear. So we could see a few things on the outside of our cage.

Alice was giving me the most pissed expression she had. "Don't look at me like that. Can you blame me for wanting to look after my sister?" I whispered

"No, I would do the same." She gave me an all knowing grin as she tried to catch her breath. Amazing how we could still smile when all this kayos was going on. "About three blocks up there was a black van that we passed. It might be open. If we can make it there undetected we can wait them out for a day or so. Maybe even hot wire it. We just got to get passed those two walkers, and through the gate."

"I had Liam lock that gate and block it on the other side with a car. If were going to make it we need to leave Sam. Lets just hop the gate."

"No one left behind, remember?" With that Alice took off for the exit across the room. Samantha followed and since my cover was blown I did too. Alice was amazing in tight quarters. She was just so tiny that she could maneuver through anything. Two zeds were walking toward her stretching their rotting hands for her. As soon as she got close enough she dropped down into a tumble and rolled right past them. Then jumped right back on her feet and kept running.

They turned to followed her but were too slow. By that time I had caught up and took the machete from my belt and took off both their heads. Alice took her gun from the holster and shot the lock off the gate. She wrenched the gate open then crawled through the car door to the other side. As I went through the car myself I closed all the doors behind me so they could follow.

"Lets go Edward!" She pulled on my arm dragging me up the street with a group of zed on our tails. We passed several buildings as quietly as possible, looking for any means of transportation or a house with solid walls. Half the time we had to keep jogging to stay ahead of the zeds. But when we could slow down and check cars, they were all on "E." Most buildings looked like they were on their last leg and not that secure with broken windows.

We made it to black van, but the doors were locked. Chances were that this would be our hide out for the night, so we didn't want to break the windows or anything. A couple Walkers were coming out from the barbershop across the street. We didn't want to use our guns because it would probably draw more of them. So we took off down the street. Further ahead there was another group of zeds that didn't see us so we ended up circling around the block, back to the black van.

It was getting dark and harder for us to see. I waited patiently with my back to Alice as she picked the lock. "Got it" She opened the door and got Sam inside. I took one more look around to make sure we weren't seen and climbed in with her. "Told you, we would make it." Alice breathed heavily and happily. We were both out of breath, sweaty, dirty, hungry and tired. We had been running on adrenalin for at least 2 hours.

"You call this making it; trapped in a van with zeds all around and having to pee in a corner or on ourselves. We might be trapped in here for days. We barely have food for ourselves, now we have to feed Sam too. She opened her pack and passed me bottled water and some beef jerky and my favorite chips, cool ranch. They were probably stale now, but I still ate them. I cracked a smile at her and shook my head in disbelief. She always knew how to make me smile. "Let get some rest we got a long night ahead of us."
