Dusty: Hi People. Sorry for not being around so much. Jolly is currently curled up in a ball in the corner saying "They will be so mad at me!". Don't know why, don't really care. On the other hand, I made a choice. Well, I was still stuck but I figure this character would be good. I know Jolly has a plan for all the other characters sent in. She won't tell me anything though.

So the character I chose is... Chidike Tayson from LARONRX

Thanks to everyone who sent in a character. Like I said before, Jolly has a plan for every character, whether they are in the main group or not. Oh, and Jolly promised pie so here is the pie for everyone * Hands over virtual pies to everyone*

*Turns towards Jolly who is still curled up in a ball* You want to say anything, Jolly?

Me: *sniffs and stays in the corner* I'M SO SORRY! I wanted to update fast! I really did! But I've been so busy: Taking care of my mother, picking up my sisters, trying to not let my father get away with the bad things he does. I AM SO SO SO SORRY! *cries uncontrollably* I haven't even written a chapter for my other story! And to be honest, my creative ideas sort of crashed for a while!

Dusty: Damn it Jolly, pull yourself together!

Me: But they must hate me now! I have failed them!

Dusty: *slaps Jolly* PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!

Me: * touches cheek* fine...

Dusty: Good, especially since it's almost your birthday. So you better be pulled together.

Me: But... what if they are mad!?

Dusty: *gives stink eye*

Me:*whimpers*

Dusty: AND HERE IS THE NEW CHAPTER

*Grabs Jolly and drags her away to get her free food.*

-4 Years in the Future-

Diana held a little girl's hand in her hand as they walked away from the bunker to the small field that was fenced in. The little girl had brown hair with sky blue eyes. She was only about 3 years old. As they walked, the girl looked around and constantly was trying to reach for the flowers that were in bloom. She giggled at the sight of birds. Diana stared at her and smiled softly. Looking through a book in her hand, she tried to figure out what plants and flowers were edible and easy to grow. Setting down under a tree, she pulled off a book bag and let go of the little girl's hand.

"Stay near me, Damia Joy " She said to the little girl.

Damia looked at her and smiled, before sitting on a small patch of grass. She pulled some of it up and giggled.

Diana looked at the book again. "Hmm it says that Cerato is good for over dependency. That might be good, not for eating but still useful" She said to herself as she read. She looked up, then around and frowned slightly. "Kind of wish Melody was here. She's better with this type of stuff."

Sighing slightly, She reached into her bag and pulled out her journal. Looking over to Damia, she shook her head as the toddler walked over to a flower and started to pull it.

Opening the journal, she flipped through it.

Dear Journal,

Today was quite a surprised. At least for me it was. We had stopped by a store looking for some canned food. As we made our way through the store, I noticed a figure in the back. Standing in the middle of the alcohol section was a girl, with one bottle in her right hand and a bloody gardening shovel in the other. She turned towards us and just stared.

I was the one to go up to her. She has pale blonde hair that goes down to her waist and dark blue eyes.

It took a while to get the bottle away from her. She had already drunk a lot and i feared that she was going to pass out. But she pulled through, She wasn't completely drunk. It still took a while to get her from the alcohol section to the safe house. One of the guys had to help by carrying her.

She didn't really talk to us, until much later. Said her name is Mel. She owns the local flower shop. Well, owned. It's gone now with the dead. That's probably why she was drinking herself to oblivion. I'll keep an eye on her so she doesn't try to do that again.

On the other hand, I'm still very nauseous and it is starting to affect my running. Not that it was any good before. Oh well.

Diana Faith

"They had to bring alcohol into the bunker." Diana said as she looked up at Damia. "I have told them time and time again that alcohol and cigarettes stay away from the bunker. But no." She said as she got up to grabbed Damia before the girl could get too far.

-Present time ( Morning of Day 1)-

It was a beautiful day. The sky was a clear blue with the occasional fluffy white cloud. On a street close to the middle of town was a small flower shop. On the top of the shop was a small apartment. In the small bedroom was Melody. She was sitting down on a chair, brushing her long hair. On the bed was a white long sleeved button up shirt and black skinny jeans. In front of bed on the floor was a pair of black flats.

After a while longer, she got up and quickly put on the clothing. She looked in the mirror and smiled before walking out of the bedroom. Looking into the fridge, she pulled out an apple and took a bite out of it. As she ate, she looked out the window, watching as a bird flew by.

She took the last bite and pulled off the apple seeds from the core. Throwing the core to the garbage, she then walked down the stairs into the shop area. Grabbing a green apron, she quickly tied it on and went towards the front door.

Turning the closed sign to open and unlocking the sliding door, she then walked out a back door to a little fenced in garden area. Grabbing a hose, she turned on the water and filled three watering cans sitting on a table. Turning off the water, she grabbed a can and started to water flowers of all kinds and colors. She repeated that with the next two cans.

After that she grabbed a garden shovel and quickly rolled up her sleeves. She bent down to an empty patch of dirt and started to plant some seeds. As she finished planting, she heard a small bell from inside the shop. Standing up, she went into the shop and looked at the figure that was stumbling around the rose section. She put down the shovel on the counter with a clunk. The figure turned toward the sound and started to make it's way over to it.

"Hello, Welcome to Feye's Flowers. Are you looking for a certain type of flower." She asked with a smile. The figure started to stumble faster towards her. The little bell rang again as another figured entered.

She stared at the closer figure. It was an older woman that was missing a chunk of her neck. The lady was stumbling closer and Melody became very nervous. She grabbed the shovel and held it up quickly as the little bell started to ring again. She moved back as the figure got closer. The other two in the store were stumbling into displays, knocking over beautiful decorations of flowers. She gasped and all three figures turned toward her.

Stepping back, she pointed the shovel to the figures. "Stay away! I'm warning you!" She screamed as they got closer to her. The little bell rang again as the door slid open and more of the undead started to stumble in. Melody backed away to the wall and started to swing her shovel as some of the undead closed in on her. It hit one of the undead in the head and pushed it towards a display of roses. She quickly ran towards the stairs leading up to her apartment. She turned around quickly and noticed that the majority of the undead were still where she had been. She ran up the stairs quickly and locked the apartment door behind her. Rushing around she grabbed a black book bag and opened her cabinets. Stuffing everything edible into the book bag, she then rushed to the bathroom for anything personal she might need.

Downstairs in the shop, crashes from displays falling over were heard. Screaming from outside came through the opened window and caused Melody to freeze in mid action. She hurried over to the window leading to the street and noticed smoke coming from one of the buildings. As the smoke was blown by the wind, she noticed that as the house two doors down was on fire. The house next to it was slowly catching fire.

A scream came up from down below and she stuck her head out to look. A undead man was holding down a brown hair woman as it bit into her shoulder. The woman screamed in agony and tried to push the undead away, only to have her fingers bitten off. The undead then returned to eating around the woman's neck.

Melody felt a tear roll down her cheek and quickly turned away from the window, while covering her eyes with her hand.

She grabbed the book bag and rushed towards to the locked door, passing a small table with a picture on it. Turning back, she quickly grabbed the picture and looked at it, then gently putting it into the book bag. Grabbing the shovel from where she left it, she opened the door and quietly made her way down the stairs.

The shop was filled of the undead and the only way out was through the back door into the garden. She stuck to the wall and slowly made her way over to the door, looking down at the ground to not step on anything. She then looked up at the undead and froze as one of them was stumbling towards her. As it stumbled by, she let out the breathe she had held in and quickly reached over to the door. Pulling it open, she rushed out and ran across the garden to a gate. Looking back at the small shop and apartment, she felt a tear roll down her cheek as she noticed that the fire was starting to spread to her home. She quickly wiped it away and turned back to the gate.

She opened the gate and looked around. Seeing that it was clear, she walked out, going to the right.

Dusty: Jolly would like to thank MidnitStar. She hopes that Melody came out okay. (And she is currently sitting in the corner playing with a doll from a pony show.)

Me: BE QUIET DUSTY! AT LEAST I DO APPROPRIATE THINGS!

Dusty: NOT FOR AN ALMOST 18 YEAR OLD!

Me: Well sorry, at least i'm not out doing bad things like drugs or something... Besides... *starts crying again*

Dusty: *Sighs* i'm going to go give her a blackberry pie. See you later.
