Chapter One:

Bella's POV

It's been three years since the Cullens left. I never sunk into depression about their leaving, but it did hurt. I never blamed Jasper about what happened, I hope he knows that. And Emmett is my teddy bear of a brother, I know he would've wanted to stay, but I also knew he couldn't go against his coven leaders orders. And Rosalie, I understand why she was bitchy towards me, she just wanted what's best for her family and make sure that their secret is safe. I would forgive those three only.

When they left, I started hanging out with JAcob on the rez. He then introduced me to his best friends Quil and Embry. We then became D'artagnan and the Three Musketeers, I was D'artagnan of course. But then one by one, they started to separate from the group. It first started with Embry, then Jacob, then Quil. I was devastated that I lost my new best friends. I found out they were hanging out with Uley. What the fuck?!

Then I remember the tribe legends that Jake told me, and I figured it out. I drove straight down to La Push and went to confront him. But all I got was Sam and his puppies. So I confronted them, slapping one of them in the process. Then he exploded into a giant ball of fur he calls a wolf. From then on, the pack and their imprints became my new family and brought me back completely.

I started to get deeper into my school work, with the packs help, and passed as the valedictorian. I got accepted to so many different colleges, but I decided to do only online schooling because I didn't want to leave my family.

Right now, Charlie and I were with the packs, imprints, and elders at First Beach sitting around the bonfire. Charlie found out about the pack when Seth accidentally phased. So, now he is an Elder and dating Sue Clearwater, yay! We're all happy now!

We were sitting on the logs, talking, joking, eating, teasing, telling stories, and in the boys case wrestling for the last marshmallows. When I had enough of their childish acts, I walked over to where the bag was and just ate the last marshmallows. They froze in the middle of their fight and looked to me. Right now Paul had a fistful of Jake's hair and stopped mid-punch, Jake was holding Pauls ear and was about to punch as well.

"Bellaaaa…." They whined.

"Oh shut up you big babies, I just saved your asses for a few goddamn marshmallows, which might I add were very delicious." I said. They grumbled, but stood up, dusted themselves, and sat back with their family. I looked to the distance and saw someone walking, more like limping. "Guys," I called out. "There's someone over there, it looks like he's limping."

Immediately, dad and Sam came to my sides. They looked to where I pointed out and all that. Sam's eye suddenly went wide.

"He's not human." He said.

"What like a leech?" Dad asked.

"No, like something else, I can smell blood."

The person came a little closer within human eyesight and I was disgusted with what I saw. It was a person, but half his arm was missing, his jaw was hanging open, showing his purple tongue and yellow-green teeth, his eyes were a pale white, and he was groaning almost inhumanely. I screamed at the creature as it tried to grab me. Sam pulled me out of the way and dad pulled out his gun that he always kept with him and shot it in the head. It immediately stopped walking and fell to the ground.

I was hyperventilating as Sam held me close to him. He rubbed circles on my back as a sign of comforting. I saw dad and Paul kneel down to take a closer look. Dad kicked it and it flipped over.

"I think it's a zombie." Jared said, holding Kim close. I saw Seth, Leah, and Sue holding hands. Jake was standing in front of Billy a little with Rachel holding his arm. Quil had Claire in his arms, Quil shielded her eyes from the view of the zombie.

"Is this the only one?" Emily asked, walking to Sam and my side. She took hold of my hand as I pulled away from Sam.

"I'm not sure, but we should probably get weapons just in case there are." Dad said. "Let's all grab what we can here and get in our cars, we'll head to the each others houses and pack." We all agreed and got what we can. Jared, Paul, Sam, Seth, and Embry found sharp branches, Emily, Kim, Leah, and I got the knives from the picnic table. "We should probably get into groups of four."

The groups were Sam, Emily, Quil, and Claire; Jake, Rachel, Paul, and Billy; Jared, Kim, Embry, and I; Dad, Sue, Leah, and Seth; Brady and Colin decided to go with my group.

We all split up and went to the car. I got into Jareds car with my group. Dad drove off first in his cruiser with the rest of us following closely behind. We sat in silence, I held onto Embry's hand so tightly, that if he didn't have super strength, I would probably crush every bone in his hand. I was trembling in fear, Brady had his arm around my shoulder.

After half an hour, we finally made our first stop, Sam and Emily's. Sam, Emily, Kim, Claire, and I went inside the house while everyone else stood guard. Sam went in first with the knife Emily handed him. I stood in back with the knife in case. We walked inside to find the back sliding door smashed to shards. I looked in the living room to find two zombies. Using the self defense the pack taught me, I kicked the first walked in the leg, making his fall, and stabbed it in the head. I went to the second one and pinned it to the wall, it tried to grab me, but I quickly stabbed it in the eye. Pulling the knife out, I took a deep breath and looked at them.

This is our world now, probably overrun with these things by now. I can't be the weak, clumsy, and stupid Bella. I have to be brave, strong, and do anything to help protect my family. I looked around the house and through the knick-knack shelf. I saw something that could come in handy.

One Christmas, I got Emily four really nice Japanese knife and Sam and kitanah. I hope he doesn't mind if I use it. I take it down from the shelf and slightly unsheath it. Sheathing it back in, I strap it to my belt.

I walk into the kitchen to see Emily and Kim packing food, with Claire helping a little with Emily's instructions. There were duffel bags in the kitchen island, I grab one of them and go to the pantry, and start filling it with food.

"Where's Sam?" I ask.

"He's upstairs packing our clothes. Claires is already packed seeing as she always keeps her stuff in her one huge duffel bag." Emily answered. All of a sudden, Kim stopped packing and looked to Emily and I.

"What's gonna happen now?" She asked us. I shared a look with Emily and walked to Kim.

"To be honest, I don't know, Kimmy. But we have to change now," I grab one of the Japanese knives from the table and hold it to Kim. "We have to do everything we can to protect each other. If we do, then we will survive. I promise, sister." She nodded, tears in her eyes, and we hugged tightly, Emily joining the hug, I felt Claire crawl in the middle of us and hug our legs.

We went back to packing food. Sam came back down with three duffel bags. Once we were packed, we walked back out to the cars. I saw four corpses on the front porch with stab wounds in their head. We threw the bags into Sam's huge truck and we all got back into our vehicles with our respected groups.

"Is that Sam's sword?" Colin asked.

"Yeah, we're gonna need it. Emily already has her knives that I gave her."

We then went to Embry's house, then Quil's, then Jakes, then Paul's, the twins, Jared's, Kim's, the Clearwaters, and then we went to Forks to dad and my house.

Dad, me, Emily, Claire, Embry, and I went to the house. Emily and Claire went to the kitchen, Dad went to the garage to his gun safe, Embry and I went upstairs. We went to my room and started to shove my stuff into a huge duffel bag. I grabbed my clothes, the hunters knife dad got me, some photos, a few books, an empty journal, and other stuff I might need or want.

We went to dad's room and started to pack his clothes. I knew where he kept his other small safe so I went there and opened it with the combo he gave me. Inside were two colts, three Desert Eagle Mark XIX (.357 Magnum), and twelve cases of ammo for the correct guns. I took those out and handed them to Embry to put in the bag. I kept one of the Eagle's in a hip gun holster that was in there too.

Once that was done, we went back down to see Emily and Claire done packing food, and Dad with a bag filled with shotguns, rifles, ammo, knives, and other stuff along the lines. We walked out and put that in the cruiser or Sam's truck which had tons of space in the trunk.

"Dad," I called out. He turned to me. "We should probably go to the station. They have ammo, guns, walkie talkies, and all that. We'll need all we can get." I heard groaning again and saw three walkers.

I unsheathed the sword and walked to them with a hard look. I swung the sword cutting theirs heads clean in half. The third one, I stabbed through the mouth, I kicked him off the sword once it was finished. I wiped blood on the dead zombies clothes. I decided to take a closer look at the zombies. One of them was Mrs. Newton, the second was someone I saw at school a couple times. The third one broke my heart so bad. It was Jessica, one of my best friends at school.

"No," I whispered. "Jessica." Tears fell like a rivers. "Jessica. I'm sorry this happened to you." I heard a couple screams and cries for help in the woods.

I turned to the pack and they heard it too. We all ran to the woods to save whoever needs help. Even with the pack's speed, I was in front of the group. I had the sword at the ready. We made it to a small clearing where I saw six walkers chasing someone. A girl. Not just any girl, Angela. Oh god, she needs help.

"Angela!" I yell out to her. I run to the walkers and slie any that I come across. O got about four and I Jake take out the last two. Once they were approved dead, I looked to Angela who was in a fetal position and hiding her face, rocking back and forth. "Angela! Ange." I jogged to her and fell to my knees beside her, putting the sword beside me.

"Bella." Then she threw her arms around me and sobbed her heart out. I rubbed her back and let her cry out. Once she calmed down, she pulled away a little. "Thank you for saving me."

"It's okay, you're my best friend, and I had to help you." I told her, then she looked over my shoulder to see Paul, Jake, and Sam. "Guys this is my high school best friend, Angela Webber. Ange this is Paul, Sam, and Jake." She looked to each of them but froze when she saw Jake. He had a look of awe, love, devotion, compassion on his face. Oh shit, he imprinted. "Jake you little fucker, you better not hurt her." He nodded to me.

I helped Angela to stand as she was a little shaken up and wobbly. She fell a little, but I caught her, she winced in pain.

"What is it are you hurt, were you bit?" I asked her, remembering in zombie movies that you could get infected with a bite.

"No, I tripped when you guys came, my leg hurts a lot." She said. I couldn't carry her, so I guess someone else had to do it. I sighed a little.

"Ange, you can't walk on that leg until it's checked out, so I'm gonna have Jake carry you, okay?" She nodded and I motioned Jake over. He passed Paul his club and picked up Angela in a bridal style. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and hid her face in the crook of his neck. He smiled a little and held her close. I rolled my eyes and we started to walk back to dad and the others.

It wasn't much of a long walk, probably about ten minutes, until we got back to them. Dad immediately pulled me into a hug, Paul to Rachel, and Sam to Emily. They all saw Jake with Emily and asked what happened.

"We found Angela being chased by six freaks. We cut them down. But umm," I spoke so only the others and not Angela could hear me. "Jakey here imprinted." They were shocked but happy. "Sue," She turned to me. "Her leg, can you take a look at it?" She nodded and told Jake to follow her into our old house.

Once they were inside, I turned to dad, Sam, and Billy.

"What do we do after we get to the station? Where do we go?" We all stood in silence until Billy spoke up.

"There's a place in Atlanta, they said something about this happening, but I never believed it. In Atlanta, there's a place for sanctuary."

"Then I guess we're going to Atlanta. We'll need to get lot's of gas, maybe find other cars filled up." Dad said. I sighed and looked down, I noticed I had dirt and zombie blood on my clothes. I scrunched my nose and looked back to dad.

"I'm gonna change into something more comfortable and less…. bloody." We all laughed at my choice in words. I went to the cruiser and dug through my duffel bag. I pulled out brown short shorts, a deep green tank top, knee socks, lacer western boots, and a cargo shirt. I went into the house and into the bathroom upstairs.

I got changed into the fresh clothes and threw away the dirty ones. I examined myself in the mirror and saw in my eyes and on the expression in my face that I changed quickly. I was no longer the weak Bella. I was now the serious, strong, fighter Izzy. I'm gonna start telling the others to call me that now.

I look at my necklace that dad got me a long time ago, it was a bullet with the words 'do you believe in god?', ever since he found out about my liking for the band Flyleaf, he got it for me.

I went downstairs to the basement where I kept most of my cool stuff. Down there, I kept my wooden bow and quiver of arrows. I always practiced in the woods with one of the pack members by me in their wolf form so the pack could communicate. I strapped the quiver over my shoulders and out the bow in it for now. I push my hair back into a side braid and put it over my right shoulder.

Taking a deep breath, I walk back upstairs to see Angela, Sue, and Jake about to walk out. Angela looks me up and down and smiles.

"Nice." She comments. I smiled at her and we walked out. Once the pack saw me, they either smiled or wolf whistled.

"Whoa, hello Katniss." Quil said and imitated a cat's meow. I gave him the one finger salute and picked up Claire.

"We better get going if we want to get to the station, or at least what's left of it." I said. They agreed and we all got into our cars. I gave Claire to Quil who would not leave his imprint during this whole shenanigan.

We drove straight to the station and dad led us to the weapons room. Dad, me, Sam, Jake, and Billy all went in while the others looked around. We grabbed bags and filled up on anything we might need. I found shotguns, revolvers, knives, ammo, handguns, pistols, utility belts.

"I'm gonna see what they have in the evidence room." I told them. Dad looked at me in question.

"How do you know about that?" He asked.

"Dad, I've been watching NCIS, Criminal Minds, Hawaii Five-0, and anything along the lines, I think I know enough about stuff like this." I told him. He nodded and shrugged in agreement. And with that, I went to the evidence room.

I got to the room, but the door was locked. I groaned and thought about getting one of the guys, but thought against it. I turned back to the door and did my strongest sidekick, making the door bang open.

I heard footsteps and out of nowhere, Leah, Jared, Kim, and Seth came to me in question and fear.

"What happened? What was that noise?" Kim asked.

"Nothing, I just kick the door open. Seth, you wanna help me look around for weapons?" He eagerly nodded and the two of us went into the room.

We walked around the room looking through boxes and other shit. So far, I found three stiletto knives, two pistols with silencers, an automatic knife, a rifle, a small shotgun, three grenades, and twelve other weapons, I put all those in an empty box.

"Yo, Seth, I think I'm done here. You good?" I called out. He came to where I was and had a box in his hands. I looked inside and he found nine knives, three pistols, a grenade, some cool glasses, a colt, a mini handgun, and a shotgun.

"What's with the glasses?" He picked them up and put them on my face.

"To make your outfit look complete." He stated. I shrugged in agreement and we both walked back to where the others were.

We found them waiting in the reception area with bag, boxes, or cases of stuff. Embry and Quil saw me and they both raised an eyebrow.

"Seth said it would complete the outfit." I told them. They smiled and shook their heads.

"Alright, let's head out people." Dad announced. We all walked out of the abandoned station and went to our cars, loading them up with the stuff we got. Dad called us over again and we went to him. "I got us walkie's so we could communicate. Everyone stays on station 9 and call if you need anything, no exceptions, call right away. If you see a zombie, kill 'em. If you see a human being, don't trust them right away unless their kids. Comprende?" We all nodded and dad handed us out walkie's to each group. Claire got to hold theirs and started to look at it curiously. She is adorable even in the most horrible times.

We piled into our cars and dad led the way East to Georgia. We kept ourselves busy with the radio and listened to Black Veil Brides. The song In The End came on and pretty much motivated us to protect ourselves and each other. And that's what I vow to do now, protect my family. Family comes first.
