Prologue

"As the crow flies my ass!" the blond woman said to herself as she climbed over a log, completely oblivious to the oncoming walker. She continued walking, but heard the groans just in time. She screamed as she stabbed the walker's chest with her knife, but of course, it didn't stop the walker from launching itself at her. She backed away but tripped over the roots of a tree. The rest of her group heard her scream.

"Andrea?" a brunette woman yelled out. Then there was another scream. The group made their way towards her. The blond woman, Andrea, was now on the floor, kicking and screaming for dear life. The walker climbed on top of her and just as she turned her head, she saw the strange figure of a girl riding a horse. The girl hit the walker down with a baseball bat and stopped the horse.

"Lori Grimes?" the girl on the horse asked Andrea. She shook her head in utter confusion.

"I'm Lori Grimes!" a brunette woman said as she made her way to the mysterious girl on the horse.

"Rick sent me, you gotta come now!" the girl explained franticly. Confusion covered the Lori's face, "There's been an accident; Carl's been shot," the girl explained. Lori's face dropped. "He's still alive. You gotta come now!" the girl elucidated. Lori hesitated. The girl sighed. "Rick needs you, just come!" she cried. Lori took off her backpack and handed it to a brown haired man that was holding a crossbow. He stepped forward.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! We don't know this girl! You can't get on this horse!" he argued. Lori ignored him and climbed onto the horse anyway.

"Rick said you have others on the highway. Two miles down is our farm, you'll see the mailbox. Name's Greene," she explained to the Asian guy. Before anybody could say anything, the girl and Lori ran off into the woods. The walker let out a groan and sat up.

"Shut up!" the crossbow-wielding man said and shot it. Its lifeless body hit the ground as the group made their way to the highway.
