Time for me to try something new. If you like it lemme know. It is all AU. It's all character's from Once Upon A Time in the walker situation. Don't worry. If you don't see one of your faves in it, they will probably be there eventually. My goal is to make lots of episodes with lots of people. People who will die and people who will live. Bad guys and good guys alike. So please sit back and enjoy. And remember, reviews help. Give an opinion and definitely do not be afraid to give me ideas on what you would like to see. Enjoy!

Once Upon An Apocalypse

It was a clear summer's day. June 15th, 2017 was the date and it seemed the perfect day for something to go down. Say, a robbery? Considering Robin's wife Marian, had recently passed away he was alone to take care of his son, Roland. He had found it beyond difficult, especially with the funeral bill and all that a child needed. They had moved from their house and in to an apartment, food had been cut in half but still it seemed a struggle. Something Robin had promised Roland would never happen from the day he had learned Marian was pregnant.

Before Robin had been with Marian, he was a thief. He had never been caught, escaped even the smallest gas station with enough money to pay half his rent, and have a meal a day for the week. Once he had met Marian though, it had all changed. And now, he had been in the same boat he was back then. Starve and be good, or feed your son and break the law. Those were his decisions and of course he went with the latter. Not realizing that even in just a decade a lot had changed. Not only technology but he was rusty at all this. But, Roland needed to have food tonight. Not just boiled potatoes and water. And it wasn't only Roland. Everyone in that building he stayed in had to fight for survival every single day.

The good thing about this though, Robin's friend John Little decided he was going back in to the game as well. Sorry he had ever been out of it. "So," John said to Robin as they sat in the car just outside a store in Maine, "Is this worth it? Such a little store and cash on hand? I doubt it."

"It isn't the cash I am worried about. It's the food. Do we need to go over the plan again?" Robin asked John.

John sighed and shook his head. "I think I've got it." John said, "I go in there with the five dollars I have and ask about every lottery ticket there is. They explain each and every one to me, while you nap the goods and go."

"Right," Robin said as he gave John's shoulder a light pat, "And with any luck, it will be a winner!"

Robin chuckled as John just rolled his eyes and they both got out of the car. They went inside the store and immediately, John went over to the counter where Leroy worked. "Hey brother." Leroy said in a happy tone, "What can I get ya?"

Leroy looked over to Nova who worked there as well and she smirked at him. "See honey." Nova said, "You're getting better at this."

Nova went to stock up some selves and as soon as she was out of sight Leroy's smile turned to a frown and he muttered, "One day I will be out of this business and able to live my life alone." Leroy said before making eye contact with John again, "Now, what do you want?"

Robin heard the voices of both of them talking back and forth. And he used that to his advantage as he took a couple of things of pasta from the shelves and put it in to his bag. Then, as he went for a box of rice and went to put that in his bag, Nova had come around the corner and caught what he was doing as she gasped. "Thief!" She hollered out as Robin looked over to her and accidentally let his bag slip from his shoulder and down to the floor. The bags of pasta spilling out. "Leroy! He's stealing from us!"

"Nobody steals from me!" Leroy said with a growl as he took out a rifle and lifted it above the counter.

"Whoa, whoa!" John exclaimed as he grabbed the gun and pulled it from Leroy's hand, "Just some pasta and rice. Nothing to die over."

Leroy went to speak but just as he opened up his mouth the sirens outside went off. John set the rifle back down on the counter as his attention directed towards the windows. "Amber alert." John said just as Robin rushed to the window to look out.

Robin hadn't realized it until this moment, but things outside were pretty dead and quiet. And now with that alert he wondered why. And just as the thoughts ran through his mind, a helicopter flew over above the store so low that it vibrated everything inside. "That is a Government chopper." Robin said to the others.

"Why?" John asked, "What are they doing here?"

"I don't know." Robin said, "But I need to get to the school. Get to my son!"

John nodded his head in agreement and both men went out the front door. Nova looked over towards Leroy who looked back. The look on her face saying as almost if out loud, 'Well?' Leroy lifted a brow and shook his head. "Nuh uh. I ain't following them. I will take my chances in here." Leroy said.

Outside, Robin and John went for the car but just as Robin reached for the handle bullets came flying at his hand. Hitting the metal of the handle, so close to his hand. Robin pulled his hand back and fell to the ground, looking up towards two men from the Government. They had helmets on and both pointed their guns at the men's heads. Robin on the ground, John still standing. "You have been infected." One man said, as Robin swallowed thickly, "And now you must be put down."

Robin closed his eyes just waiting for the sound. Waiting for his life to end. And he did. He heard the sound but yet he felt the same. Robin opened his eyes to see the man who had his gun pointed at him go down to the ground, holding his neck. "If anyone kills the thief, it'll be me!" Leroy exclaimed from behind Robin.

Robin looked behind him to see Leroy standing with his rifle as he took another shot and all he heard from the other side of the car was the other guard go down. Robin jumped to his feet and looked over to John who was as pale as a ghost. John slowly looked back at Robin. "Would now be a bad time to tell you that I need clean underwear?" John asked Robin who just cocked a brow.

"Come on. Everyone in!" Robin exclaimed as he walked over and took the gun from the man Leroy shot first, "We need to get to the school and make sure my son is okay."

Robin got in to the driver's seat, John in to the passenger's seat with Leroy and Nova in the back. Robin started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot like a bat out of hell. "What do you think that guy meant?" John asked as they drove along the road, "That we are infected?"

Robin shook his head and took in a deep breath. "I have no idea." Robin said, "But I have the feeling that we are going to find out."
