oh dear we are in trouble

[beth greene]

maybe it was one the of the worst idea she had ever had. She hadnt been outside of the farm land since the outbreak had started. She didnt know what was out there, but she needed to go and found the cure that her father had been talking about, the way to bring these people back to who they were, who they were suppose to be. She had left at the crack of dawn, she knew that if her family saw her they would try to hold her back, they would never let her leave, she was after all the baby of the family. But she could fight just as well as any of them, or at least that was what she liked to think.


After getting herself a bag with some supplies, a knife in case she was attacked and getting on her horse she had first quietly made her way off the farm, starting slow to make sure she didnt make too much noise, the last thing she needed was to let them hear her. Once she was far away, she made the horse go faster. She made her way down the empty roads which were soon filled with cars that had been left behind, she did her best to navigate between them which proved to be a lot harder than she had believed.

things had taken a turn for the worst once she had gotten into the woods. It had not taken her long to realized that she didnt know her way around the woods. And soon enough she was lost. She jumped down the horse and without thinking she tied it up to a tree. The poor thing was already getting tired and could use some rest while she tried to find her way back. She walked aimlessly through the trees but they all looked the same. She soon felt the panic take over her as she realized that she had no idea what to do.

The sun was just starting to rise again. The night had been slightly chilling. Causing the walkers to walk a bit slower than they typically did. Once the Georgia heat began to heat again, as the sun began to rise once more, all the walkers went back to their normal pace.

Slipping through the woods wasn't too difficult, but you would occasionally run into a tree, or two. The sun was peaking through open spaces between the trees, and leaves. A slightly smaller heard of five walkers were remotely close in the vicinity.

The smell of flesh was what brought their senses alive. Two of them raised their heads, and started moving toward the flesh. The sounds of the horse brought them closer in that direction. It wasn't long until they had arrived to the horse, and began trying to tear into the horse. The other three walkers had heard movement, and were distracted by a separate flesh. The three of them headed toward Beth.

Lilith was face down in the ground, she had walked aimlessly for days going in any direction there was noise. Once all noises stopped she kind of walked in a circle until her pant leg got stuck on a log falling face first and after that there was no point of moving. Her body would not move until it sensed noise, blood or the smell of fresh meet. Other Lurkers around her moved like she was nothing, slowly Lilith lifted her body as a sound rang out in the air. If she was human Lilith would know at once the sound was a cry for help from animal.

Finally in the upright position the Biter moved slowly towards the sound of the crying horse. As she limped through the woods sounds of moaning came out it was like she was trying to speak but no words formed. Lilith hair was jet black and always wore it straight with little bangs just over her eyes. This Lilith had wild hair it was untamed for weeks of being unkempt and her clothes were stained from her own blood and whatever else the Lurker could sink her teeth.

Beth heard the noise coming for her and knew she was in trouble. she had never been ready for this. She didn’t even know how she was suppose to defend herself. they had never killed walkers at the farm, at least none that she knew of. Her father had also never let her go with him when he would trap them to bring them back to the barn. It was safe to say that the young woman was into deep right now. She saw the first three walkers walking over to her while two more bite into the horse.

“No stop please stop!!!” she begged them, she didn’t even know if they could hear her. She wanted to go and try to save the animal but she knew it was too late for him and she needed to focus on the other three that were making their way over to her and from the corner of her eyes she noticed another one coming and a part of her hoped that it would focus on the horse and give her time to take off on foot. She turned around trying to find which way was the right way and decided that away from them would be the only way right now. And with that she started to run in the opposite direction.

Carter could barely keep her eyes open. She swayed in the saddle as the horses poked along, basically on auto-pilot while the girl struggled to stay semi-conscious. Riding for days on end became monotonous and boring, unless of course you were running for your life which happened more often than she liked. It wasn't until Applejacks snorted and stopped that she became aware of something out of the norm. The chestnut gelding's ear flicked forward, as did Cheerios'. Both horses started to show signs of distress and she sat up a little straighter to listen. The sound of a panicked horse. "Oh god," she breathed, unfortunately able to picture the scene already. It was probably already too late, but she dug in her heels and Jacks lurched forward. Without warning, he whinnied, loud and sharp. "Jacks!" she hissed. He usually didn't make any noise, a trait that had factored into her choosing him from the two dozen horses her family had owned. At the same time, she couldn't really blame him. He was hearing another horse possible being ripped to shreds while still alive. She shuddered.

Twigs snapped under the animals' hooves and Carter ducked branched as they jogged through the woods. She wouldn't go any faster, not keen on risking a broken leg. Also, she had no idea what she would be rushing into. The dying horse sounded like it was still a hundred yards away when she saw movement closer to her. She saw flashes of blond and pulled the gelding to a stop. Cheer bumped into the back of him, but Carter hardly noticed as she tried to get a better view. When she was certain the girl was still a real human, she called, "hey! She started to ride closer, but then caught sight of a few walkers behind the girl. 'Heck no,' she thought, but her morals wouldn't let her turn around and leave the blond on her own. The again, her self-preservation instincts made her freeze at the thought of riding closer. She didn't have much positive experience with multiple biters. "Hey! Over here!" If the young woman could reach her in time and get in the saddle, great. If not...Carter wasn't sure she had the guts to do much else.

The three eating the horse were soon getting their tummy's full. Another walker had entered to help them feast. The two zombies that stepped toward Beth kept going for her. The sudden crunching of rocks, footsteps, and twigs made the three walkers finish their feast in time to glance behind them.

The two chased after Beth, slower, but still fast enough. They were greatly behind, but the smell of her flesh made them continue on. Her scent lingering through the trees. The three zombies finished, and turned toward the direction that the other two had left to follow Beth. Though they were slower due to their full stomachs.

As Beth ran she felt like her heart was going to get ripped out of her chest. She clearly was not ready for this and she had no idea what she was really doing either. She had never been prepared to fight this fight. Her father had never though her this but she could not blame him, she had not been supposed to just walk off the farm. She should have stayed home and waited but she had wanted to go see what was out there and now she was going to pay the price of it. But finally she heard the female voice calling to her.



The walkers were chasing after her but knowing there was someone close that could save her was good so she ran her heart broke at the idea of her horse having been eated alive but really there was nothing she could do about it. She finally reached the girl . ``you are a life saviour.'' she called quickly trying to catch her breath. “mind if i hope on?” she asked quickly as she knew the walkers were only going to get closer.

Carter tore her eyes from the girl to look behind her, making sure there weren't walkers coming from any other direction. The last thing they needed was to turn around, ready to run, and dash headlong into another pack. "C'mon, c',mon, c'mon!" she muttered under her breath, willing the other young woman to run faster. Carter could tell she was tired and not used to running. She pushed her horses a few yards closer, not eager to lose ground to the walkers, but also not so heartless as to allow the blond to be taken down.

The woman seemed to get a second wind and put a little extra distance between herself and the herd. "Get on!" Carter commanded when the girl reached her, talking over her formalities.

[the herd]

The walkers were dumbly following the woman, not really believing they'd not get to eat her whole. As seconds passed, the walkers continued going after her. A few of the zombies trailing behind had started to lose interest. Three of them continued after her.

The woman, and the horse was becoming in view as they neared. Their nasty mouths opening, a fly buzzing from one. Blood soaked their clothes, and ran down their necks and chins. They each started to reach their hands out, and their eyes still fixated on the blonde that was closest.

As Beth ran she wished that she had attended more of the gym classes that she had worked out more and that she was not so much out of shape. But the walkers moving behind her and having seen what they had done to her horse gave her more energy than anything else had ever given her. Thankfully her guardian angel was moving the horses closer to her making it easier for Beth to finally reach her. It didnt take long before Beth was seated on one of them and was thankful that even if she was not a great runner at least she could ride a horse with ease.


“thank you!” she screamed as she felt like she could cry right there. She would most likely cry when she would finally be able to stop being so scared.
