The world has officially gone to hell. People walking around eating each other, everyone panicking. Nothing could get any worse, that is unless your own families are trying to eat you.
Let me explain. My name is April Baker I have bright green eyes, and bleach blonde curly hair that goes to my shoulders, with pale skin and lots of freckles. I stand 5 feet and 6 inches off the ground. This all started by a virus spreading, a virus where the dead come back and try to eat the living. The news broadcasts tell us to stay inside until help arrives, I wanted to, I really did. But my family and I didn't have such luxury, at the moment, we were debating on who would go and get supplies, being as we were running out of food.
"I'll go." I spoke up.
"No! You can't go, you'll get hurt, we can't loose you! The broadcasts said to stay inside!" My little sister Victoria said, she was 11, being 10 years younger than me, making me 21. She has big blue eyes, and blonde hair, hers not a pale as mine, she stands 5 feet and 1 1/2 inches off the ground.
"Who else is gonna go? Someone has to go, and mom and dad aren't as fast as me, you know, even though they both are trained, they can't keep up with me. I will be fine!" I yelled a little in the first bit, she knew I would be ok. My family and I grew up in the mountains, we did severe martial arts training, mom doing Aikido, dim mak and started to learn tae kwond do, dad doing karate, jujutsu, and having mastered chi, we learned quite a few things, dad taught me all he knew about chi, so I became a master while living with my family, mom taught me aikido and dim mak, and my sister Victoria was still learning all of this she wasn't as physically capable as I was, I was on most of the sports teams, and being a fast runner, this was a perfect job for me. We now live in town.
Victoria pouted, and I patted her head, going to the door and putting on my shoes, I came back an hugged my parents, kisses Victoria's cheek and whispered in her ear "Victoria, if anything happens to mom and dad, I want you to go up into dads room, get the guns and bullets that are under his bed, and go lock yourself in my bathroom, lock my bedroom an bathroom door. Do you understand. Don't let anyone in, I will climb in the bathroom window." She nodded and I kissed her forehead, "I will be back. And if I don't, I want you to call aunt Jen." She nodded again, and I went out the front door.
I was horrified. There were so many of these... things. I started jogging to the store down the street, running into one of those decaying things. I saw a screw driver on the ground and stabbed its head, and ran away, keeping the screw driver.
I got to the store and saw a lot more, I got the screw driver ready when I was pulled behind the counter, I held the screw driver ready to stab this walking thing.
"Shhh! It's ok! I'm not a geek!" A Korean whispered to me, holding my hand with the screw drive in it away from him.
"A geek?" I asked, not really sure what he was talking about.
"That what we are calling these things, they aren't people, and they aren't dead, so we came up with geek." He continued, he peeked his head above the counter, and pulled me with him somewhere else.
"Wait! How do I know I can trust you?" I asked, pulling my hand away from him.
"Can you afford not to?" He asked. I thought about for a minute and shook my head no. I couldn't but I didn't know his name either
"I don't know your name yet, what is it?" I asked him.
"Glenn" he replied, I nodded and followed him. He brought me to a group in a different store.
"Who the hell are you?" A girl with almost the same looks minus the super pale skin and freckles asked me with a gun up to my face.
"April. And you are?" I asked, not afraid of the gun, I could kill her with my hand if I wanted to.
"Andrea." She replied taking the gun away from my face.
"Why were you there anyway?" Glenn asked.
"My family was running out of food, I went on the search for some to bring back. Oh my god! I left my sister there, I have to go back I told her I would be back soon!" I walked over to the door, but Andrea grabbed my arm.
"Meet us back here?" She asked, I smiled and nodded, and ran home, dodging all the geeks in my way. I walked in the front door and saw blood, I ran out and to the side of the house and began climbing the wall to get inside my bathroom window.
The window was locked so I knocked on it. My sister got up and looked frantically trying to figure out how to open the window. When she finished fumbling around and finally unlocked it she pushed it up, letting me in to my white bathroom.
I looked on the ground at the corner and saw two handguns and some bullet reloads. I took one of the guns and loaded it, my sister doing the same.
"Victoria, we are in a different world now, we can only kill these things by their heads. We have to shoot there brains. You need to learn, I found a group of people, we are going to join them, but first things first. You need to learn about the safety. The gun won't shoot without it, when you take it off, you shoot like you mean it." I told her as I showed her how to remove it. "And put it back on when you aren't going to use it." I showed her that too.
We both climbed out of the window, it being a little difficult for her to climb the two stories. I led the way to where Andrea, Glenn and the others were. I got into the store, and Andrea was yelling at a new guy, saying it was because of him they were all dead. When Andrea was done yelling I introduced myself and Victoria, everyone else did as well.
After I found out about Merle. I didn't like him much, he was too pushy, and was scaring Victoria. I wanted to hurt him, but I didn't, knowing he was living And I could kill him at any moment. Rick ended up handcuffing him to the roof, and we all had to leave because of the geeks, but we started calling them Walkers because Rick took control of the group and that's what he called them. I liked that name better, and Rick was a suitable leader, but I would steer him in the right direction if he was going to go off the deep end like Merle.
We ended up with the rest of Glenn and Andrea's
group, I was glad we were taken in. Soon Rick, Victoria and I met the group. Rick was reunited with his wife and son, but Shane didn't seem so happy to see Rick. Turns out Merle had a little brother named Daryl, he was attractive, I will give him that. But he was freaking out about Merle being left on a roof. Glenn, and Rick said they would go back with him. I could only imagine how angry I would be if they left Victoria handcuffed to a roof of a building walkers had over run.
I decided to stay with the group. I wanted Victoria to get comfortable with these people, we would be with them for as long as possible. I sent Victoria to go hang out with Carl and Sophia. I decided to go with Carol and Lori, the mothers of Sophia and Carl. Carl and Lori being Rick's family.
After a while, Carol, Amy, Andrea, Jackie and I all went to do laundry. We were laughing and giggling while doing the laundry. Ed came up getting in our faces about not being able to laugh during chores, and soon Shane came to beat Ed up.
Later that night we had been attacked by the walkers. I grabbed Victoria, and pulled her close to me, I got ready to fight with my chi, I started working it up and hit a walker over the wad with my hand, crushing its skull like a hammer to a melon. I heard gun shots, and soon Glenn, Rick and Daryl were back. One of the walkers was coming right for me, I did a jump kick, sending energy down to my feet, and kicking the walker in the head, it's head flying off and it's blood splattering everywhere. When I landed Victoria screamed, I looked beside me she was fine, but then I felt something grab my arm, I spun around to a walker getting shot in the head right before biting me. I turned to the guys and Glenn smiled. I smiled my thanks back to him. We then started smashing the heads of our own who had been bit and died.
The next morning we all helped put the walkers in a pile to burn, minus the ones we loved, those ones we made graves for.
"Where'd ya learn to fight like that?" Daryl came up to me and asked. I have him a slightly confused look.
"You smashed a walkers head with your hand. Not many people can do that." He stated. I smiled thinking of my dad, but then frowned.
"My whole family was deeply into the Martial arts. My family owned a couple dojo's as their jobs, and when we were younger we lived in the mountains, we moved out when my sister was about 4. While we were there my sister and I did intensive training. My sister almost passed out everyday, I on the other hand am more physically capable. My parents taught me everything they knew. My dad was a chi master. He taught me, I became a master and now I can use it anytime. My sister on the other hand was just in training when this started." I told him, he nodded.
After putting all the people who were once in our group in their graves, we all just stood around. Not really knowing what to do. I just looked to Victoria, and hugged her. She was still attached to my side because she was a shy girl, she hardly ever talked unless it was needed.
Okayyy, so I know I haven't been writting anything, Buuuuuuuuuuut I am in love with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) So I decided to write this:) and dim mak is a martial arts using pressure points, and chi is basically just energy flowing through certain parts of your body to give you more power, its hard to explain... but it can be used to move things, and can be felt as a source of heat, if you guys need more info, you should look it up kay? 3
