Hey everyone and let me tell ya, it was a REALLY close vote. But in the end, you guys chose the right lever! Two of you chose green and two chose red, in the end, Jared9029 broke the tie, voting for red so congrats to you! Thanks to you, some characters get to live another day which brings me to another topic. Character death. Yes, there will be character death, I hate when all the cannon characters actually die but the OCs live no matter what. Don't worry though, even though your OC dies, I'll make sure none of the others in the story forget them! And yes, there WILL be a sequel. YAY! There will be OCs in that too but maybe in the way you didn't expect... But anyway, ON WITH THE STORY!

Drew's POV

I pulled the red lever, immediately, the drawbridge started to groan. I watched in triumph as the bridge started to retract, the walkers falling into the water. The walkers began to claw at the bridge while it retracted, in a last ditch attempt to get at us. Eventually, all of the walkers fell in. I looked at Sal, smirking.

"Bridge out of power huh?" Sal just gaped at me.

"What-how-your one lucky son of a gun Drew" I bowed. "Thank you Sal." Said man just grumbled and looked at the ever looming mountain in the distance. "So… How are we supposed to get up that?" Sal asked. Cristina shrugged.

"I guess we hike or something, unless those lifts still works." Cristina said, pointing at the ski lift. William rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't imagine that works, even if the bridge somehow still has power." We began to make the trip up the mountain until I saw something in the corner of my eyes move. I looked over to where I thought I saw it but there was just a shed. Worth checking it out even if it was just my imagination. I looked back at the group and called to William.

"Hey William, I thought I saw something over there by that shed." I said, tilting my head to the shed. "You wanna check it out?" William nodded and told Tess to stay near Sal and Cristina and walked over to me, pulling out his crossbow. We both slowly made our way to the shed, William with his crossbow and me with my crowbar. I looked at William and motioned that I would check the back. He nodded and I turned the corner, crowbar raised. I almost jumped, with the butt of a rifle hitting my face, knocking me down. I quickly scrambled to get up and looked at my new opponent. He was male, had black hair, reminding you of a raven, a little smoothed back and combed to the sides, as to have his hair not get in his eyes. He had blue eyes; he had a slight stubble, a little tanned, a little on the buff side. He was wearing a camp jacket, dark jeans, white shoes, I couldn't seem to catch the name, a grey beanie, and that's when I looked at his left hand that I noticed something that sent shivers down my spine. He was missing his left pinkie finger. I could see the man visibly shaking.

"W-what do you want?" He asked nervously, whoever he was he didn't want to kill me. That's when Will came around the corner and saw both of us. He raised his crossbow and took aim of the man's head.

"Who are you?" William asked. The man's hunting rifle, for that's when I realized it actually was a hunting rifle, lowered to the ground, a look of shock on the man's face.

"What the? You're only a kid! You shouldn't-"The man was cut off by William

"A kid who will kill you if you don't let my friend go." The man looked back at me.

"Once I let him go will you put down the crossbow? We can be friends you know." William lowered the crossbow slightly to the ground. I got up and walked to where William was.

"Who are you?" William asked.

"My name's Skay Malcom but you can just call me Skay." William nodded.

"Ok, let's take this slow, no need for violence. My name's William and That over there is Drew." I waved. Skay just smiled and walked over to us and put stuck out his hand."

"Nice to meet you guys. Is there anyone else?" Skay asked. William nodded.

"Their round' back the way we came." Skay smiled.

"Great! Let's go!" William grunted and moved back to the group, with the two of us following. As soon as we moved out, Tess came out from behind Cristina's legs and hugged William. Skay looked at Tess and smiled, kneeling down at her eye level.

"Hey there, what's your name?" Tess looked at Skay. "Tess." Skay only beamed more.

"I think that's a great name, Tess." Tess smiled and hugged Skay. I grinned. This was adorable. I looked to the sky, it was getting dark. I coughed, getting everyone's attention.

"Maybe we should be heading on our way then. Our do we want to camp here?" William looked at the mountain, squinting as he did so.

"We should camp here; Tess has had enough excitement for one day. And I'm not caring her up there." I looked at Sal. Sal looked at the mountain.

"We should be able to head a little farther, not that big of a deal." I looked at Skay.

"I think we should stay here, we need the kids rested and ready for the hike." Then, I looked at Cristina.

"A little farther couldn't hurt could it Drew?" Cristina asked. Ok, time for me to decide.
