There's a creak of a door and a loud bang as the door is closed. I open my eyes slowly, not recognising where I am. I feel a harsh pain come from the side of my head and reach up to feel the cause of such pain, noticing a lump and blood dripping from a small cut. I wince at the contact.

"Fuck" I quickly move my hand away, trying to sit up.

I look at my unfamiliar surroundings, "Where the fuck am I?"

I drag myself up onto my two feet, stumbling a little. "What the fuck is happening?"

I run to the door, and try to open it unsuccessfully. My fists hit the door repeatedly, "Let me out! Let me out!"

The air seems to be getting thicker to breathe. My head is spinning and my eye lids become heavier. I fall to the ground, lying there motionless in the dark.

I open my eyes slowly, "What the fuck?"

"Tara!" A tall blonde woman crawls over to me, making a fuss over the cut on my head.

I quickly crawl backwards, scared as to who this person is, "How do you know my name?"

The tall blonde has a confused look on her face, "What? It's me, Marie."

"Am I supposed to know that?" I look at her with a blank expression on my face.

What the fuck, who is this woman? Why is she here?

A tear falls from her eye as a small girl walks over to her slowly, wrapping her small arms around her as best she can.

I look at the sight unfolding in front of me, confused. "Am I supposed to know who you are?"

The small girl walks up to me and hugs me.

"Wha.." I freeze. After a few seconds I return the hug, smiling a little, "Hi there."

The little girl smiles, "Tara!" She giggles a little.

I look over at the blonde crying, "Hey. Why are we in a dark..room? What is happening, I don't remember how I got here. I just woke up here, and I'm guessing I remembered you before? My head also hurts so I feel like I've been hit with something."

The tall woman looks up at me, sniffling and wiping the tears from her eyes. She crawls closer to me, investigating my wound while fighting back tears. "Train carriage. They must have hit you over the head, knocked you out, and dragged you here." She takes a deep breath, "You must have lost your memory. What is the last thing you remember?"

I look up at her, noticing how beautiful she looks in the light intruding through the crack in the door. She looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. I blush when she notices me staring a little too long.

"Hello? You can still talk can't you?" She sits back down.

"Yeah, the last thing I remember is going to bed one night after going to the park with Megan. But I woke up here." I look down at my fingers, noticing all the dirt that has gathered upon my skin. "Is there something I'm missing?"

"You're missing something alright. You can't trust any of the living anymore." The blonde starts.

I butt in, "Sorry, the living?"

She laughs, "Oh, right. You're lucky. Now, there are the living and the dead. But the dead still roam the earth. We call them walkers. They eat your flesh and live for the taste of blood and guts. It's been like this for a while now. The living aren't much better, they will turn on you no matter what and claim it to be for survival." She gives me a shy smile, "But the only two people I trust now, is you and little Jay over here."

Jay gives the woman a big smile which I can't help but giggle at.

"So you're serious about this dead stuff?" I give the blonde a look that is hard to read myself.

She just nods.

Jay is occupying herself with her hands.

"Hey, Jay, come here for a sec." I wave the little girl a little closer. I lean in and whisper something in her ear.

She waddles over to the other woman, with an expression on her face that could only be her trying to figure out what we are doing.

The little girl whispers in her ear, "Tara says you're beautiful."

I blush.

The blonde pats her lap, indicating that Jay sit there. "You know, for someone who probably doesn't even know my name, you seem pretty cocky with yourself that I'm into girls also." She smiles, and honestly I can feel my heart skip a beat.

"Oh well, does this beautiful lady who may or may not have any interest in women, have a name?" I return a cocky smile.

"Marie."

I got to speak but am cut off by the door opening, revealing a blinding light. My eyes adjust and a scruffy looking man and very dirty woman enter the carriage.
