A/N: Welcome to my rewrite of my old story. I'm restarting the whole story, It's mainly OC driven but Lee will be a big part of the story. This new version of the story starts before episode one. There are two OC's there's Hunter a personal trainer from Las Vegas, he's 22 5'11 and Japanese/Italian the other is Jamie who is Hunter's roomate and best friend. She is 5'4 and of Korean decent she is a medical student at the begining of the story. Now let's get started!

Chapter I: It Begins

2 Days before outbreak

"Hey I'm about to head out. Did you still need a ride to work today?" Jamie asked as her roomate came into the living room putting on his shirt.

"No, just got my truck back from the shop, it runs fine now, thanks though." Hunter said as he crossed the living room to retrieve his shoes. He then turned to look at Jamie who was tying up her shoes. "I thought you didn't have class today."

"I don't I'm just gonna head to the pharmacy for something then I'm gonna go study for my anatomy class." She said as she finished tying her shoes.

"Ok well I'm off to Warner-Robins, getting the soldiers ready for their PT's. I'll see you later Dizzy." Hunter said as he closed the front door.

"Damn it Hunter, stop calling me that!" Jamie half shouted with a laugh.

Robins Air Force Base

"Welcome to Robins Air Force Base Hunter." An airmen said while shaking Hunter's hand. "Now if you'll follow me I'll get you down to the airmen that you'll be helping."

This wasn't the first time Hunter had ever been on a military base, his parents both served in the military. But he was happy as he was there to help the military, even if it was only in a small way. "Thanks, it's an honor to be here, my parents both served so it's nice to be here." Hunter said to the airman. Hunter then bumped in to someone and the stranger stumbled a little. "Oh I'm sorry about that." Hunter said with an apologetic smile.

The stranger then glared at him. "Well watch where you're going idiot." and with that the stranger stormed off.

"Oh don't mind her she's always in a rush, she means nothing by it."

Hunter then looked at the airman and laughed. "It's fine, I've been called worse before."

And with that they continued on their way. Hunter didn't realize that today was going to be the last time he'd ever be working his dream job. Soon enough his full job would be surviving.

0 Days before outbreak

Hunter ran around his aparment throwing the last of his clothes into one of his duffel bags. "Come on! We got to get out of the city now, it's our best bet!"

"I know I'm grabbing my car keys now, what's the plan once we're out of the city?" Jamie asked her roomate.

"Get as much gas and supplies as we can and make a run for Vegas, my family is there and I know they'll have a handle on things." He then turned and looked at Jamie who had a concerned look on her face. "Hey, we're gonna be fine OK?" Hunter put his hand on her shoulder. "Look at me, we've got this."

Jamie stared at Hunter in awe of how calm he seemed to be at felt at ease knowing he was going to be by her side. "Yeah, you're right. We got this." The pair proceeded to leave their aparment for the final time. Once they were outside they immediately ran towards their vehicles.

"I'll take point, follow every move I make, don't stop unless I stop and call if something happens." Hunter said as he got into his pick up. Jamie nodded and got in her sedan and they drove down the road.

Sadness...that's all that Hunter saw as he drove through Macon. People running, people trying to hide and saddest thing of all. People dying. He watched as people got surrounded and killed by what appeared to be the dead. "How could this happen?" he thought to himself when suddenly his phone began to ring. He grabbed his phone and immediately recognized who it was. "What's the matter Jamie?"

"I'm out of gas, I'm running on fumes." Jamie said frantically.

"Don't worry we're near the pharmacy. Let's go there get some more supplies and we'll just go in my truck. It's safer to be in one vehicle anyway." After he said that he hung up the phone and turned onto another street.

Pharmacy 5:15 PM

Hunter could see the pharmacy up ahead so he slowed down and parked next to it, as he exited his truck and turned the corner he saw two people outside just standing there looking around. Jamie then walked up to Hunter's side. "OK, I'll do all the talking. Just stick close by." Hunter said as they began to walk towards the two strangers.

Before Hunter could say one word Jamie alerted the two people in front of the pharmacy. "Are the doors locked or something?"

Immediately one of them drew a gun on Jamie. The one holding the gun was a female around the same height as Jamie with medium length brown hair. The other one was a male, sleightly overweight. Really more along the lines of chubby, he had short light brown hair and seemed to be a little jumpy.

Hunter then shuffled in front of Jamie and put one hand out. "Easy lady, were just here to get some water and maybe some fuel then we'll be out of your hair. Just relax and put the gun down, we're no threat to you."

The woman then slowly lowered her gun and looked at Hunter closely. "Don't make me regret this."

Hunter then breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I don't plan to. By the way I'm Hunter and this is Jamie." Hunter said pointing behind him.

The woman then proceeded to wave them over. "I'm Carley and this is Doug."

The four of them them entered the pharmacy. Whether or not they realized the next few minutes were going to be eventful.
