Epilogue-

Run

I'm running. I'm running through thick forest as quick as my legs will take me. Rain pours down around me, I'm completely soaked, it blurs my vision so that everything around me just looks like a green and brown blur. Black puddles splash up my legs as I barrel through the foliage at top speed.

I take a swift turn sliding slightly in the slick mud and then force my muscles to continue to run. Blood trickles down my forehead and does nothing to help my inability to see. I almost didn't notice until my vision turned a sickening red. I'm running so hard I almost run face first into trees and fallen branches. I can hardly breathe. I can still hear the hungry groans and wails behind me. There must be 30, maybe 40. I don't stop. I can't stop.

I manage to turn my head while I run I'd gotten a decent distance away from them but they were still gaining ground at a quicker pace than I ever thought they could, but then again I had only ever come across straddlers. I had been lucky. Until now of course.

As I run I notice the trees beginning to get thinner and I come to a road and pause to wipe my eyes clear of blood and rainwater while I got my bearings and caught what little breath I had left. I don't know whether it was because I was panicking but I recognised nothing. I was living on borrowed time so I picked a direction and began to run again, my muscles screamed and my lungs tightened. I don't know how long I can keep this up. As I ran down the dirt road let out a sob. I didn't want to die, not like this. I had been doing so well, I had found a group of survivors, we had managed to set up a camp, find weapons, food. Life had been, dare I say, normal for a while. I had been locked in a false sense of security, denying the new order of things. How foolish I had been. When the walkers had hit our camp that night we didn't stand a chance. I had just managed to make a run for it without any weapons food or water, running from the screams of my friends as they were ripped apart in there beds. I'm a coward.

Maybe I deserve this, to run until I can't run anymore and then be eaten alive. Maybe it was better this way. I didn't need anything else compromising my vision so I held back tears that were oh so desperate to fall. And that's when I saw it, a gas station. Not the perfect hiding spot but it was something and I was too short of options to be picky. I noticed the bulk of the hoard had yet to make it on to the road and took this as my chance, I surged forward. Willing my legs to go faster until I reached the door of the station.

My heart dropped as I pulled on the door to find it locked, I took a breath and pulled and shook to door to no avail, it wouldn't budge. I let out another sob as I franticly pulled at the door, noticing more and more walkers break through the tree line.

They had gained on me maybe 15 feet away? I put my back flat again the door. I couldn't run anymore. 10 feet. I let the sobs come thick and fast now, not much point in hiding them now. Five feet. I closed my eyes I hoped that the first bite would be my neck, hopefully then I could bleed out too quickly to feel much pain. 3 feet. I think of my parents, my family, my friends. 1 foot. I feel the first walker grab for me and I let out a fearful sob of the pain to come.

And then I fell backwards.

The door behind me flew open, allowing me to fall inside, my breath leaves me as I fall to the floor with a painful smack. I hear the door slam shut and walkers slam against it desperate to get inside and sink their teeth into my flesh. I gather myself enough to look up, and straight into the tip of a sharpend arrow. I blink wildly not really able to make sense of the frantic events of the past ten minutes. I look up from the arrow and find the face of the man pointing it at my head. I am lost for words.

I stutter and stumble over words and stare into the head of the arrow, then back into the mysterious man eyes, which were mostly covered by dark hair. His brow was stern and low as he stared down intensely at my shaking form. He was waiting for me to make any kind of move that would indicate I was going to attack him. Then he would shoot me. So I stayed as still as possible, apart from slight shivering.

We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. His expression never changed. "T...thank you" I managed to force out. He remained silent, his body and face still unchanging. My breathing had calmed some, well as much as it could with an arrow aimed at my head. His breathing was calm, he was obviously well versed in the new order of the world. I shifted slightly and thought about standing but as soon as I moved he tightened his grip on the crossbow. I stilled instantly.

"Can I stand?" I asked, thankful my stammer had subsided. He stared, if possible, more intensely at me. His eye skimmed my form, I think he was looking for weapons. After a few moments he nodded, it was very slight but it was there. I slowly began to rise to my feet, he followed me up with his crossbow still trained at my head until finally I was on my feet. The dead banged at the doors but he didn't flinch, just stared at me. Had he even blinked?

"I'm Glen..." I told him and put my hand out. I wasn't sure why.

He lifted an eyebrow, glanced at my hand quizzically, and paused. Obviously hand shaking was not common in the new world... I was about to pull my hand back when he lowered his crossbow slightly. He made no move to shake my hand.

"Daryl."

He speaks!
