Probably not the smartest idea to have a 3rd live story on the go but I've been meaning to get the sequel to Skin Crawl up and since the Walking Dead season 4 finale I haven't a hole in my chest that needs filling.

This is just a really short chapter to start the story off where Skin Crawl ended, if you haven't read it then it isn't necessary to do so to know what's going on but I recommend it so you know about my oc and what the connections and stuff are.

The first instalment of Skin Crawl can be found in the Skins crossovers but since not a lot of people go through there frequently I moved the second instalment to here instead.

Anywho, I'll stop rambling and let you read, don't forget to live me a review, it keeps me motivated and puts a smile on my wee face. :)

My head hurts like hell.

And what the fuck is that ringing noise.

I felt somebody shifting beside me before I remembered what happened…. The CDC blew up.

I tried to open my eyes, blinking furiously against the settling dust from the blast. I blindly felt around me for the person beside me.

"JJ" I coughed opening my eyes.

JJ was lying less than a meter in front of me with his eyes still closed. Struggling slightly I moved towards him wrapping my arms around his shoulders while I made sure he was breathing. He was, I don't think I've felt so relieved. I pulled him closer to me as he shook.

Getting him out had been difficult but I needed to do it, if not for JJ himself then for Cook and Freddie. I tried my best to persuade Jackie and T-Dog to rethink and come with us but it was futile, JJ on the other hand agreed to come with me when I reminded him that we all needed him, especially Freddie and Cook.

I could hear footsteps rushing towards us just as Cook came into view from the corner of my eye.

"Kel, Jaykins!" he shouted getting to his knees beside us "you alright?"

"Yeah Cookie" I replied "we're alright but I think JJ might be extra locked on."

Cook leaned down to pick up JJ while I moved to give him some space before being tackled from behind.

"You idiot!" Emily shouted while slamming her hands into my back "don't do that to me again!" I turned to face her seeing her eyes red from crying. I pulled her towards me and hugged her close.

"You know me Ems, love to live dangerously" I joked which caused her to hit me again but gentler this time.

"Shut up I'm mad at you" she laughed and sniffled.

"I know" I laughed "not the first time, won't be the last."

She laughed before moving back and standing up, I followed suit getting to my feet before Carl ran up tightly hugging my waist. I threw my arms round his shoulders before letting a small laugh escape my lips.

"C'mon little man, you're not getting rid of me that easily."

"Doesn't mean I wasn't worried" he told me, pulling away to look at my face.

"I know I'm sorry, but I couldn't leave JJ" he nodded.

"I hate to break this up but we gotta' go" Shane spoke up "walkers are getting restless thanks to the blast."

We all agreed seeing as he was right anyway. There were walkers walking towards the source of the noise and before long there would be too many for us to handle. Packing up and moving on, it seemed to be a pattern for us. I jumped into the driver's seat of my van before being told to shift over by Naomi and Emily who squeezed in beside me so Naomi could drive.

Our convoy set off again, Daryl's bike and the R.V taking up the front, leaving behind our two fallen friends. They would get to stay and not face the horrors ahead. As for the rest of us? We were just doing what comes naturally and keeping hope alive.

Keeping hope alive, on the road again.
