The Walking Dead: Season 1 – Episode 1 – Meet the Pack

Jett woke up one morning, feeling groggy as usual. He slowly climbed out of bed, trying not to wake his girlfriend of 3 years, a young, beautiful, blonde wolf of about 22, named Kate. Jett and Kate actually go way back. Their fathers were good friends in college, and Jett knew Kate ever since he was a pup. Now, years later, in a world run by the undead, the two banded together and formed a group. Along the way, they fell in love and became a couple. In their group was Garth, Jett's other best friend, and Lilly, Kate's little sister and Garth's wife. And last but not least, Jett's little brother, Humphrey, who was 13. Jett loved Humphrey and Humphrey felt the same way about Jett. Jett had a strong sense of duty to protect his kin, and be a father figure to him, ever since their parents were eaten by walkers. Humphrey was always cheerful, and made everyone laugh, keeping their spirits up.

Jett walked into the bathroom and stared at himself through the mirror, then sighed.

"Just another day in paradise…." He muttered under his breath.

He went to his backpack and pulled out some toothpaste and a toothbrush and returned to the sink. Surprisingly, he managed to turn on the water and it was fresh. The past few houses they had looted had no running water. Jett brushed his teeth, and then crept over to the couch his little brother was sleeping on. Humphrey was fast asleep, with his arms wrapped around a leather pillow and had a smile on his face. Jett smiled and kissed his forehead, then went to check on Garth and Lilly. When he found Garth and Lilly, they were both passed out with beer bottles all around them

"Damn, I wished they saved some for me and Kate…." He said, flipping Garth off.

Jett walked outside, into the cool, crisp fog. It was a nice day. No walkers, nothing. The quiet was real nice. He went to the back and checked to see if there were any walkers, but to his surprise, none. Feeling bored, he went back inside and climbed in bed next to Kate. Kissing her, he wrapped his arms around her and whispered:

"I love you…"

"Mmmmmmm…. " Kate grumbled back in her sleep.

Next thing he knew, Humphrey jumped onto Jet's side of the bed, pinning his older brother.

"Morning Jett!" He laughed.

"Shhh! What are you fuckin crazy!? You'll wake Kate!" Jett snapped.

"Sorry… I just saw you were up and I wanted to say hi to you." Humphrey sighed as his ears flattened.

Jett smiled and licked his brother's cheek.

"It's ok bro. Lets get up and see if we can make breakfast." Jett said.

"Yeah! I'm starvin!"

Jett got up and took his brother down to the kitchen and began to search the cupboards and cabinets for food. Humphrey found the pantry and as he was searching, he noticed a hidden door at the end.

"Huh? The hell is this?" Humphrey said as he reached to open it.

Just as he was about to open it. A rotten arm broke through the door and grabbed Humphrey by the hand.

"AH! BROTHER! HELP!" He cried.

Jett heard his brother's cries and ran to find him. Just as he ran to the pantry, the walker's head emerged and buried his teeth into Humphrey's arm. Humphrey screamed in pain and was pulled in by several walkers who emerged from the hole the first one was in.

"HUMPHREY! NO! LET MY LITTLE BROTHER GO!" Jett screamed as he ran to get his pistol. When he went to his room, he noticed Kate was gone, along with Garth and Lilly, all replaced by bloodstains. Jett broke down and sobbed. His brother's cries were no longer heard, meaning he was gone. Jett then looked at the pistol he held in his hands, put the barrel into his mouth…. And pulled the trigger, but before he did so, the last thing he saw was his reflection in the bathroom mirror, which was him as a walker…..

Jett woke up with a scream, waking Kate next to him.

"Jett….JETT! Calm down! It was just a bad dream!" Kate said as she shook her mate to calm him down. His body was drenched in sweat, and tears were in his eyes, which were blood shot red.

"Kate…. Where's Humphrey?" Jett asked.

"He's asleep in the other room. What's wrong babe?" She said as she kissed him on the lips.

"I had a dream…. He came to wake me up in the morning….. you, Garth and Lilly were still asleep, so we went to make breakfast for everyone…. Then… He got attacked by walkers, and when I went to get my gun, you all were gone… then I killed myself…." Jett explained as he sobbed.

"Shhhhh… I'm sorry Jett. That sounds like a terrible dream." Kate said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm…. fine Kate… Thank you. As long as I have my family, I'm happy." Jett smiled.

"And I'm happy, because I have one sexy alpha male as my boyfriend." Kate said as she kissed Jett deeply.

Jett grinned then pinned her down on the bed. The two lovers made out and caressed each other. It was true; those two were more in love than ever, and that was never going to change. Kate then undressed her t-shirt and panties, and Jett stripped his clothes. The two then made love, a love that was so passionate, and so beautiful, that they both enjoyed every second of it. Kate was especially good about keeping it quiet when they had sex. After they finished, Kate got up, showered, and got dressed along with Jett. She put some jeans on, a white t-shirt and a plaid shirt, and last, she put her belt on, which had a knife holster, Beretta M9 Holster, and a few pockets to keep clips in. After putting her hiking boots on, she went and got Humphrey, Garth and Lilly up. Everyone got dressed and ate whatever they could find for breakfast and packed up their gear. Kate grabbed her Mossberg 590, while lilly and garth grabbed their rifles. Humphrey had a little .22 rifle and Jett had an M4A1 with a hybrid holographic/sniper scope, and dual extended mags. His sidearm was his father's prized Colt M1911.

The group then finished packing up and soon moved on to their next destination. They were trying to find a safe place from the walkers to where they could settle down and live their life in free of fear. Jett was considered the group's leader and led them through the town they stayed in for the night.

"I wish we could have stayed." Lilly said, "This seemed like a nice little town."

"Yeah, I know, but all the stores were raided. We need to find a place that hasn't been raided yet." Jett explained as he walked beside Kate.

"Yeah, I have to agree with Jett on this one." Garth added, "It was a nice town, but not enough supplies. I had to eat that trail mix I have been saving for a few months now."

"Oh boo hoo." Lilly teased.

"Hey brother, how much farther?" Humphrey asked.

"I don't know kiddo, were gonna be walking for a few hours." Jett explained.

"Awwww." The little wolf pup whined.

"Yeah, sorry pal." Jett smiled.

"You two are just adorable." Kate said with a grin, "I swear, you two are like father and son."

"Well, I try to be a good bro." Jett laughed.

"Your pretty cool Jett." Humphrey smiled.

"Thanks man, you are too." Jett smiled.

Just on the outskirts of town, the noticed a small group of walkers wandering around the road. The group stopped, and turned to Jett, who was examining the walkers.

"Hey guys, I can get a shot from here." Jett said.

"Do you have your suppressor? A loud shot will attract more." Kate reminded.

"Yeah, no problem. I counted 10 and I have dual extended mags, which hold 14." Jett explained, as he screwed his suppressor onto the tip of his gun.

"Ok, we'll leave this one to you partner." Garth said.

"Can I go brother?" Humphrey asked.

"No, not this time. Your gun will just attract more." Jett said.

"Aw bro, no fair!" Humphrey whined.

"Kate, watch him will ya?" Jett smiled.

"Of course." Kate said.

"I'm 13 you know. I don't need a baby sitter." Humphrey snorted.

"Oh shut it you." Kate snapped.

Jett moved up towards a car and mounted his rifle. He was able to put the crosshairs on the heads with no problem, being a good shot and all. Jett was a pretty good marksman. He was on the rifle team in college, and won several awards. Once he got his targets in the crosshairs of his scope, he took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. A shot quickly went out and took out one of the walkers. He did the same for the rest of them and soon the road was clear.

"All clear!" Jett called.

"Nice shooting babe!" Kate said.

"Thanks!" Jett said.

"Can we get moving now?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah, lets go." Jett said.

The pack then continued to walk down the road, until the town they stopped in was out of sight…..
