The Immune
by Starsinger
Shane and Andrea find the impossible. Don't own the Walking Dead.
They dove for the car. Coming into town to look for Sophia was insane. They were desperate to find the little girl, all they found were Walkers. They barely got the car doors closed before the horde started to beat on the windows.
Shane fumbled for the keys, trying to get them into the ignition and get the car started. His heart was beating rapidly. He was so intent on what he was trying to do before Andrea's voice penetrated his brain, "Shane, look, please tell me I'm not crazy."
Shane glanced up and there, in the middle of the surging crowd of Walkers, a woman stood, simply watching them. Apparently, very much alive, and being ignored by the Walkers. They locked gazes before the woman turned and put what looked like ear buds in her ears and jogged off and away from them. He didn't miss the scar on her upper right arm. It was the same size and shape as that of a human bite.
"That's impossible," Shane muttered as they plowed through the group of Walkers surrounding the car.
"…impossible!" Darryl muttered as Shane and Andrea told their news. "No one survives the fever."
"Is it?" Lori asked, she looked at Hershel. The old vet looked weary, "Aren't there survivors in plagues?"
"She could, theoretically, have survived. Usually, there are survivors and those who are immune. I don't suppose you stopped to ask."
Both Shane and Andrea shook their heads. Rick looked up, "Unless you have a way of finding her, we may never know."
The strange woman sat atop a nearby wall, listening to the moans of the hungry Walkers nearby. She wasn't afraid of them, after they stopped attacking her, anyway. It was time to get back to the woods. They were waiting for her report, and they needed to know there were survivors outside his control. Maybe she could get to them before he did, or they did. She hopped off the wall, started her jeep, and took off down a dirt road.
This is just an idea that I had. AU? Probably. Little off kilter, most definitely. Lost my mind, don't know, I think it's still here. Please R&R. If nothing else, tell me what you think of this cockamamie idea! lol
