A/N Well this is the end of this fic, atleast for awhile. I'm going to concentrate on some other things, but maybe I'll come back to this one, one day.

Chapter 10

On The Side Of The Highway Baby

Four months had passed since the funeral and all of them did the best that they could to keep that promise to the dead. It took some time and effort but they had finally made several solar panels and even a windmill to power the houses that were occupied. It had taken some doing but they even converted one of the houses into a hospital.

It also turned out that the town wasn't as barren as they thought, because they had found a handful of other survivors. They had been living in a mall every since the outbreak. Atleast one of them was ex-military and they had told them of a plan of them wanting to go to an island off of the coast of southern California called Catalina. After taking refuge with them however, they had changed their minds. Atleast for now.

Even though they had a rough year it was still good to be out on the open road. Especially with someone so beautiful. Kendra had finally agreed to be his girlfriend and it was the best feeling he had, in a long time.

Looking over at Kendra, who was keeping a watchful eye on the scenery as it passed by, Jesse smiled. It was the first time in awhile that he was alone with her. He had told Riley that he and Kendra were going to go out to some unexplored territory to check for supplies and survivors, but in reality he just wanted some time alone with her.

Pulling the truck over and placing it in park, her brows furrowed and she looked over at him.

"What are you doing?" she asked, looking into his eyes.

"What I wanted to do for a long time." he said as he pulled a black jewelry box out of his pocket. "Kendra will you mar..."

Before he could complete his sentence something loud slapped up against the glass of his window. Looking up he saw that over twenty walkers had somehow snuck up on them and surrounded the truck.

Taking it out of park, he tried to drive off only to his dismay to find out that he had stopped the truck in mud. The tires not getting enough traction, he knew they weren't going anywhere.

As he was about to ask Kendra what they should do they suddenly saw a knife being embedded in the head of one of the walkers. As it fell to the ground, they saw a pretty young woman wearing a pink summer dress and a too cheerful smile on her face. It seemed almost robotic.

As if that wasn't wierd enough, the zombies seemed to ignore her as she and five other girls came out of nowhere and started to kill off all of the zombies.

There job done, they all stood in front of Jesse's truck still smiling and started to wave at them. Not knowing what else to do, Jesse and Kendra started to wave back as they slowly got out of the truck.

"Hi." the girl in the pink dress said as she looked from Kendra to Jesse. "Are either of you two bit?"

"No." Jesse answered for both of them. "Who are you girls? Are you... Slayers?"

"That's enough girls." a voice called out from behind them. "You know I like to do all of the talking."

Turning, Jesse and Kendra saw that the man that had spoken in his early twenties with brown hair. Just looking into his face you could tell that he was king of all nerds. And standing next to him was the complete opposite. The man had huge muscles and a blonde crew cut hairstyle. And looking into his face, you could tell that he had been a bully his whole life. But what was more strange was that he held a huge war hammer, with a big silver head on it.

"You two step the hell back!" the muscle bound man barked out proving Jesse's point of him being a bully.

"Easy Brock, play nice." the man said with a smug smile. "Don't worry about him, he gets that way around new people."

"Who are you guys?" Jesse asked. "What the hell is going on?"

"Oh where are my manners." the dark haired man said as he extended his hand out for him to shake. "My name is Warren Mears. Welcome to Warrenville." he said pointing to a walled up community further down the street.

Looking at the wall carefully, he saw that it wasn't made out of just brick and wood. Human and demon skulls alike were stacked up almost as high as the eye could see. His stomach doing flip flops, Jesse wondered what he had gotten himself and Kendra into this time.
