A:N (Authors Note)
Yes this is fanfic about The Walking Dead. So if you like that, zombies, gore and survival then you'll love this.
A little bit about myself, my real name is Noah. I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead. I know almost everything about it comic wise and Television wise. Amazing comic and show.
This is my first fanfic so go easy on me for a bit.
One more thing, some things in here are different from the comics and the show. So just a fair warning.
Anyways, on to the story!

Virus 2010
Chapter 1
"It had been almost a year since the virus took over the world. Millions of people dead. Almost all of them turned into mindless man eating beings. They were given the nickname Walkers. No one knows who came up with the name or why. But it suited those things perfectly.
No one knows how the virus started.
The world went to shit was basically the thing here.
Now we're just trying to fight to stay alive."
-Rick Grimes 2011
Rick Grimes woke up startled. He was tired. He had barely gotten any sleep over the past months. With his son Carl being nearly killed. And his deceased wife Lori having being lost giving birth to her child. Judith is what me and Carl decided to name her. After Carl's old teacher. He had a best friend named Shane Walsh. He started going crazy. Wanted to kill me. But then he stopped. Out of nowhere just stopped trying to do anything. I guess he accepted the fact that some things weren't meant to be. He pulled Rick aside a day or so ago and they had a long talk about everything in a separate cell block . Shane broke down. He said he felt horrible about everything and was sorry and gave his condolences about Lori. He pulled a gun out. For a second it looked as though he was going to shoot Rick. But he put the gun to his head.
"Shane, no!" Rick yelled.
Right about as he was ready to pull the trigger and opt out Rick tackled him and threw him to the ground.
"No man! You don't do this Shane! You don't get to opt out like Jenner or anyone else did! You have to fight Shane! Don't fucking quit! I can't lose my best friend. Not today. Not never." Rick said.
"Why the hell are we fighting for? Let me kill myself if i want man! It's my fucking choice. Not yours! I'm sorry brother but i can't live with the fact that i tried to kill you!" Shane said.
Rick got up. He let Shane sit up but not before he checked Shane's pockets to make sure he had no gun or anything on him. He didn't have anything else on him. But Rick made sure to grab the gun Shane dropped.
After Rick grabbed it he sat back down next to Shane to try and work something out.
"Shane, Lori is dead. My wife is dead. Because of some kid who we don't even know who's the father of it. It hurts. It sucks. But I didn't quit. I didn't stop fighting. I'm still here. Trying to move past it. And make a better life for me and Carl. I'm trying hard to. But see if you quit and commited suicide then i wouldn't know what to do anymore. I wouldn't. It would have sent me over the edge.
Shane you can't quit man. Let's move past it. That's what needs to be done. Before you never forgive yourself for it." Rick said.
Shane sat there quiet for a little while before he said something.
"Ok. I won't quit. Only because you and Carl are still here and you guys are like family. I'm sorry for all the shit i did to you man. You didn't deserve that. I guess i was just jealous that you suddenly became the leader out of nowhere when you arrived. I've moved past it. I'm sorry brother." Shane said.
Rick moved closer to Shane and gave the man a hug he probably needed.
"It's alright man. I understand. Let's get out there and make a life for ourselves." Rick said.
Rick stood up and he offered his hand to Shane who was still on the ground. Shane accepted and they both started walking out.
"Wait Shane." Rick said.
Shane turned around and Rick had the gun Shane was going to use to kill himself.
"I do believe this is yours." Rick said.
Rick held out the gun and Shane took it.
"Thanks man." Shane said.
Rick nodded his head and walked out with Shane.
"Hopefully I don't regret this." Rick said to himself.
A:N (Authors Note)
As you can see the first major change here is that Shane is still alive after the events on Hershel's farm. The reason he's around is because i like his character before Robert Kirkman turned him into a nutjob. Anyways, this chapter is pretty slow. But it is showing that Rick and Shane have moved on from the whole Lori thing and still remain good friends. Don't worry the action will pick up more in the next Chapters.
And this does follow the TV series.
So Characters like Daryl and Merle and Milton will be here. Oh and The Governor is not dead. Yet.
Anyways i hope you enjoyed.
Review and thanks!
Next chapter will be up sometime next week!
