Hi Guys. I have had this idea for ages and it has been in development for a while but now it's finally here.

It's not set in the apocalypse but as the story unfolds you'll see more characters due to a different event that isn't so world apocalyptic, but definitely hard and there will be a struggle for the grimes family and everyone around them.

So without further ado, Please enjoy and Review

Run back home

Chapter 1

Plan in motion

It was a bright glorious day. The sun was shining and everything was calm in the neighbourhood where Rick Grimes and his family lived. Rick came down the stairs smiling in his uniform and walked into the kitchen where Lori, his wife, was cooking breakfast. She turned to smile at him and Rick.

"Morning Rick. Can you call Carl down, he's gonna be late and still needs his breakfast" she said kissing his cheek before going back to cooking. Rick smiles at his wife and walks back into the hallway and to the bottom of the stairs looking up.

"Carl!, Your mom said get down here, you're gonna be late for school!" he hollered and listened as he heard footsteps thunder across the upstairs hallway and watched as his son came running downstairs carrying his baby sister down the stairs.

Rick kissed Judith on the head as they passed and Carl puts her in the high seat before grabbing his school rucksack and grabbing a slice of toast very quick. Carl runs to the door but stops as his dad calls his name.

"Carl, have you done that assignment for Mr Andrews class?" Asked Rick with a raised eyebrow and Carl nodded.

"Yeah Dad, I finished it last night after helping put Judith to bed, It's in my bag but i have to go or I will be late" Carl said rushing towards the door again

"Are you sure you don't want a ride Carl" called Lori but Carl refused it saying he'd rather walk and try catch up with Sophia and Enid on the way.

Carl closed his front door and let out a sigh and smiled walking down his drive. He shifted his rucksack and started walking down the path towards school. It was a good twenty minute walk but Carl didn't mind it that much. He put in his headphones letting his favorite song drown out the sounds of his surroundings.

He smiles thinking of his family and friends, reminiscing almost on how lucky he has to have them which he didn't do too often, he thought it strange how focused his thoughts were on his loved ones rather than his new games console or the latest album from that band he liked.

He continued down busy streets and checked his watch. He cursed realising he had to go quicker so he looked around and saw a shortcut he knew well. His dad had advised him against using backstreets and alleys to get to school, but his dad had also told him not to be late anymore this term or he'd end up grounded, so Carl turned off into an alley to try get to school quicker.

He picked up the pace cutting through Alleys until he knew school was right around the corner, but then he was stopped. Before exiting the last alley his path was blocked by an older gentleman. He had brown hair which was greying a little at the roots and he had an eyepatch over his right eye. Carl stood and looked at the man blocking his path with a glare. There was silence as Carl's playlist ended and it was chilling, but the silence was broken by two words the man spoke

"Now Gareth" he said.

Carl looked confused and went to step back but his back quickly bumped into someone's chest and before carl could turn or step away, the person's arm went around his front and a needle sunk into his neck. Carl gasped feeling the drugs make him weaker, and darkness, sweet sweet darkness was calling his name. He fell back into the guy's chest who kept hold of him and the last thing before losing consciousness he saw was the man with the eyepatch approaching.
