A/N: What will happen to Christy and the group? Read on to find out.


Christy's POV

I have no other choice, I either show myself or I carry on hiding, even though they probably saw us get behind the cars anyway.

"I don't want to say this again," the woman half screamed, probably best, don't want to draw the dead to us.

"Okay," I say to them from behind a blue car, "Just put your guns down, you don't need to worry, we don't have guns."

A few seconds pass as the woman thinks over what I have just said. After a few more seconds I hear the woman say, "Okay then."

Me, Dawn, Will and Scott come from behind the cars and we see a long blonde haired woman who seems to be in her twenties and a girl who looks to be around 14 or 15. They both look alike, so I assume them to be related in some way.

"Why did you hide?" The woman asks us. I kind of give her a 'seriously' kind of look, as if it's pretty obvious why we hid.

"We don't know what people are going to do," I respond, "you could've been anything."

"Not the best answer, but okay," the woman replies, with a very stern look on her face, I can tell that the two of us aren't going to get along. "I'm Amanda, this is my sister, Anna." I look over to the girl, she throws an awkward smile in my direction. "What are you guys doing out in the open like this?"

"Trying to get out of LA," Dawn responded before I had the chance to say anything. "What are you guys doing out in the open?" she shoots back.

"Trying to survive what ever this shit is," Amanda said. "Are those your weapons?" She asks us.

"It's the only thing we had at the time," Will tells Amanda. "They're pretty efficient."

"Well, better than using guns to kill crawlers," Amanda said. Crawlers?

"Excuse me, crawlers?" Scott asked, confused.

"Oh, yeah, that's what we've been calling them," Amanda explained. "The first one we came across was crawling towards us, so we gave it a nickname, right Anna?" Anna just nodded in agreement with her older sibling.

"Do you guys have a destination?" Amanda carried on talking.

"Well, these guys were thinking of going to-" Scott started before Will interrupted them.

"Guys, crawlers," Will said, pointing towards some of them walking towards us. It's weird how we were just opened up towards the term 'Crawlers' and Will has already gotten used to saying it.

As the crawlers walk closer towards us, I notice that two of them were Will's parents. I visibly show a shocked face in Will's direction, but I don't think he's noticed yet.

Will gets out a golf club and gets ready to take a swing at one of them, but then I think it is that moment he realises who he is about to kill. "Mom? Dad?" Will is frozen where he stands, it was like his was in a catatonic state.

I think Dawn has noticed whats going on. "Will, you can do this," Dawn says to him. I look over at Amanda and Anna, both very confused at what is going on. "Come on, Will, they aren't your parents anymore."

Will then takes a step towards them. He looks over at his mother, I think I can see a tear about to fall down his face. "Sorry." And then, almost out of no where, he smashes his mother's head in, then does the same to his father's. Scott and Amanda kill the remaining crawlers whilst Dawn hugs Will.

"That was very dramatic," Amanda said, walking up to me after having killed the crawlers.

"Well, he just had to kill his parents," I replied, "it would be hard on anyone."

"I'm just saying that-" Amanda pauses. "I'M just saying that...emotions aren't going to help you, or us, if I decide I want me and my sister with you people."

"Why wouldn't you want to be with people?" I ask, kind of suspiciously. "Safety in numbers, right?"

"Some people believe in that," Amanda half agrees, "But their can also be danger in numbers. The more people in a group, the more likely somebody might die."

"Who says we'll let that happen?" I almost spit on her face. "Look, you don't know me, you don't know what the future holds, for any of us. But just coming out and saying that we're gonna die, is a bit stupid, especially in this new world we've been given to live in." I feel like I just embarrased myself completely, but also that my message has come across smoothly.

"Is that a threat?" She asks me, "Do you know what I have seen in the past couple of days? There are dead things everywhere, around every corner, heck, maybe even a house. There is no escaping these things, just trying to survive." I just look at her with a blank expression. She thinks that emotions are what is weak, then no way will I show her mine.

"Christy?" Dawn says to me. "We need a plan, or else we will just die here." I nod in agreement.

"Okay, I think I have a plan of what to do," I say to the group.


A/N: Sorry to leave the chapter on not much of a cliffhanger. What is Christy's plan? What will her plan cause? What is happening between Amanda and Christy? Chapter 5 awaits.
