Hello my lovelies (in Joseph Morgan's voice) heehee! Okay so I'm a fan of both this show and The Walking Dead, and I'm sure people have wrote their own TVD/TWD stories so I decided to write one of my own. :) This story takes place the day after Elena's 18th birthday. I know on the show Stefan was the ripper and gone with Klaus on her birthday but in this story he's not the ripper and still with Elena. Don't worry, the major characters will be on this show, along with TWD characters too. They'll show up later on. Oh, and also this universe will be just like TWD universe, where zombies never existed until the zombie apocalypse struck. So I'm hoping you all will love this!

"Elena, wake up! You got to wake up!"

Elena could faintly hear the sound of her brother's voice calling at her. He had fear in his voice she could tell. She forced herself to open her eyes so she could find out what was going on. Her head was pounding. She knew she had a hangover from last night when her friends took her out to celebrate her birthday.

"Ugh what's going on?" she groaned. She rubbed the side of her temples.

"Finally you're awake!" Caroline yelled at her.

"Caroline, you don't have to yell. I'm sitting right next to you."

Elena found herself back in her house laying on the couch. The last thing she remembered was dancing with her friends and Stefan at the club and taking multiple rounds of shots, even though she was still underage. Stefan had compelled the waitresses to give them all the liquor they wanted.

But then she noticed that the windows were boarded up and covered with blankets. The TV wasn't on. Candles were lit. There was no lights on. It was an eerie silence in the house.

"Elena, something bad has happened," Bonnie told her grimly.

Elena raised a concerned eyebrow. "What are you talking about, Bon? Is somebody hurt? And where's Alaric?" Alaric knew they were all going out last night. He just expected them to be safe.

Elena breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her guardian/history teacher/vampire hunter come down the stairs with an armful of blankets.

"Did you tell her?" Alaric asked the group.

"Tell me what?" Elena was asking worriedly now.

Jeremy let out deep breathe. "Come over here." Jeremy took her to the window. It was boarded up but there was just barely a hole big enough for them to look out through. "See for yourself."

Elena peeked through the hole. Outside she saw her neighbors just walking around in no direction. Something wasn't right about them. They looked extremely pale, almost grayish actually. And their clothes and faces were covered in what looked like blood. The street was littered with clothing, children toys and other items. The yards had furniture tossed over them. There was even a car turned on its backside with the doors wide open. It looked like a tornado had came to town.

"What happened?" Elena asked. "What's wrong with everybody? Why are they just walking around?"

"We don't know exactly what happened to the neighbors or how it happened, all we know is they eat on flesh," Alaric said.

Elena whipped her head around at him with a disgusted look on her face. "What?! They eat flesh? Like human flesh?"

"Human flesh. Animal flesh. If it moves they eat it."

Elena felt the urge to vomit when Alaric said that. "What all happened last night?"

Stefan walked over to her. "After you passed out from all the shots the cops ran into the club ordering everybody to get out immediately. They didn't have time to explain they just ordered everybody to get home. I picked you up and we all ran out. There was people attacking...eating on people. Cops were shooting at them. But it didn't do much good. It looked like the only way you could kill them was by shooting them in the head. Lots of people were attacked. We all got into Matt's truck and got back to your house immediately."

Elena just stared at him with her jaw hanging. She couldn't believe all this has happened. "Does the TV not work? Or the radio? Cell phones?"

"No. It's all just static," Alaric told her. "And there's no cell reception."

"It's like the end of the world literally happened last night," said Jeremy.

Elena looked around to check who all was present. There was Jeremy, Stefan, Alaric, Bonnie, Matt and Caroline. "Where's Damon?"

"He should be at the house," Stefan answered her. "I hope so, at least. He knew we we're going out last night."

Suddenly there was a knock on the back door. Alaric grabbed a knife and peeked out the window. He breathed a sigh of relief to just see Damon.

"It's like something straight out of a horror movie," said Damon. "You got these walkers just stumbling around. And then when they see something move they go chasing after you trying to take a bite out of you."

"Walkers?" Caroline asked.

"Yeah. All they're doing is walking so might as well just call them walkers."

"How bad does the town look?" Matt asked.

"Oh, dude, there's so many walkers around it'd be hard to get by them without getting noticed. I had to speed run over here. They were coming after me! Granted they're nowhere near as fast as a vampire though."

"What about around our house?" Stefan asked him. "Are there any walkers there?"

"Nope. They're all just mainly in town. It's actually safer at our house."

"That's where we need to be then," Elena said.

"Elena, it's too dangerous just for us humans to get out there," Alaric told her.

"We can ride in my truck," Matt told him. "We'll just hurry up and load some stuff in my truck bed and drive to Stefan and Damon's."

"Yeah but we don't want to lead the walkers there though," Alaric told him.

"Guys, I need to check on my mom," said Caroline. "I'm a vampire too. I can dash to my house real fast to see if she's there." Everybody had a concerned look on their faces but they knew it was Caroline's mom. And maybe Sheriff Forbes knew what was going on.

"Be careful," Alaric told her. "If you find her bring her back her."

Caroline nodded. "I'll be back soon." She went out the back door and took off at vampire speed.

"I need to know where my dad is," said Bonnie. "I can't leave him behind."

"We'll go find him," Damon told her. Everybody looked surprised at Damon. He was actually offering to help. "Just hop on my back and we'll go to your house."

"You two be careful," Stefan told them.

"Don't worry. I won't let nothing happen to Witchy." Bonnie slapped him across the head for that before she got on his back and they both took off.

"This is really starting to get scary," Elena cried.

Stefan wrapped his arms around her. "Don't worry, we're gonna get all your stuff together and as soon as everybody else gets back we're all going to my house. We'll be safe there. And hopefully we can find out more on what exactly is going on."

Elena felt better knowing she had Stefan, her friends and family. Her, Jeremy and Alaric went upstairs to get some stuff together. Matt and Stefan packed a few boxes of food, water and emergency equipment. Suddenly the back door flew open and in stepped Damon and Bonnie.

"Did you find him?" Stefan asked.

"No," said Bonnie. "But I could tell someone had been in my house. There was blood."

Stefan and Matt were afraid to ask anymore questions. "We'll find him," Stefan assured her.

"Caroline's gonna have to hurry up," said Damon. "It's gonna be hard getting through all them walkers."

"Just give her some more time, Damon," Stefan told him. "This is her mom we're talking about."

"I understand that. But you don't understand how bad it's getting outside. If she's not here in the next 10 minutes we need to just all go on."

"Damon-"

"-He's right, Stefan," said Bonnie. Stefan and Matt looked at Bonnie in shock. "Look, I know it sounds crazy for me to be siding with Damon but he is right. It's gonna be hard getting through all them walkers. Caroline will know where we're at if she doesn't find us here."

Stefan ran his fingers through his hair. But just then the back door opened and in walked Caroline. She had been crying. Bonnie ran to her and gave her a hug.

"Care, what's wrong?" Bonnie asked her.

"I don't know where my mom is. She wasn't at the house. I could tell she hadn't been there all night. I wanna check the police station but it's getting bad out there."

Elena, Alaric and Jeremy came downstairs with suitcases in hands. "Did you find your parents?" Elena asked her friends. They both shook their heads. Elena gave them both a reassuring hug.

"Elena, we need to go by the police station," Caroline told her. "My mom might be there."

"Let's get all this stuff loaded in the truck first," said Alaric. "Then we'll go by the police station."

Everybody went out the back door. They had to be very quiet sneaking to the truck so they wouldn't draw the walkers attentions. But then Jeremy sneezed that got one walker's attention. He was a middle aged man that had lived down the street from the Gilberts before he turned.

"Oh my God, he's coming!" Caroline shrieked.

Matt picked up a crowbar laying on the ground and stabbed the walker right through the head, killing him instantly. This starting drawing the other walkers to the group.

"Time to go!" Damon yelled. Matt and Alaric got in the front while Caroline, Bonnie and Elena got in the back. Stefan, Damon and Jeremy hopped in the truck bed. "Haha! Try and eat us now!" Damon yelled at the walkers.

Matt drove to the police station dodging walkers, cars and other things along the way. When he pulled up to the police station Caroline jumped out of the truck.

"Caroline, let Stefan and Damon go in with you. Jeremy, you get inside the truck," Alaric yelled out the window.

"And take this." Matt handed Caroline the crowbar.

The 3 vampires entered the police station. The lights above were flickering like out of a horror movie. Papers, chairs and desks were thrown all over the place.

"Mom!" Caroline called. "It's Caroline!"

"Don't yell!" Damon gritted through his teeth. "Do you wanna get us killed?"

"Shut up, Damon! Mom! Where are you? Is anybody even here?" Nobody answered.

Stefan came across a rack of untouched guns hanging on the wall. "These might come in handy. Damon, help me get these." The boys collected all the guns and ammo while Caroline continued searching.

"Mom?" Her voice had done got quiet. She knew her mother wasn't there. "Where are you?"

Stefan put a hand on her shoulder. "We'll find her. But right now we need to get out of here." Caroline nodded and followed him and Damon out the door. But before they exited they heard the sound of a walker behind them.

Caroline was scared to know if it was her mom. Luckily it wasn't, but it was an officer. He had a big chunk of meat bitten out of his right shoulder. He walked towards vampires with his arms outstretched. Damon took the crowbar out of Caroline's hand and stabbed the walker in the head with it.

"That's how you get it done," Damon smirked. "Now let's get the hell out of here." The three vampires got back into Matt's truck and they all headed towards the Salvatore house.

Voila! The first chapter! I hope you all like it so far *keeping fingers crossed* Feel free to state what you would like to see in this story, if you'd like to see anybody turned into a walker. Until next time..
